Powering the Ion Source for an EASY-nLC 1200/MS System
Instead of using the controller power supply ( Figure 5 ), use the EASY-Spray P-Bus Temp
Control Cable (P/N 70005-63055) that comes with the EASY-nLC 1200 instrument to
connect the instrument to the ion source. This cable provides power from the LC instrument
to the ion source and allows the instrument to control the EASY-Spray column temperature.
 To connect the EASY-Spray P-Bus Temp Control Cable
1. Connect the cable’s right-angle connector to the P-BUS socket located on the bottom of
the ion source as follows:
a. Align the red dot on the plug with the red dot on the right side of the socket
( Figure 6 ).
b. Push the plug into the socket.

2. Connect the other end of the cable to the P-BUS socket on the back of the
EASY-nLC 1200 instrument.
 To add the EASY-Spray ion source to the EASY-nLC 1200 configuration
1. On the LC touch screen, press Maintenance > Devices > Add Device (top, right corner).
2. In the dialog box, press EASY-Spray (Column Heater) , and then press Accept .
After the installation is complete, the ion source’s actual temperature display briefly shows
“
b.L. ” and then two dashes (--).
IMPORTANT
Be sure to follow the specified connection order for the cable.
