Communication Connectors
Use the left-side communication connectors to connect the MS to the Ethernet switch, the
syringe pump, the modular valve, and any external device.
Table 3 lists the pin-out descriptions for the connectors shown in Figure 1 .
IMPORTANT
• Before proceeding, verify that the external device is suitable for use with the
Orbitrap Tribrid Series MS. Make sure that the signal from the external device meets
the requirement stated in the pin 4 (
Start In) pin-out description (see Table 3 ). If it
does not meet this requirement, you cannot use it with the MS.
• To help prevent sample waste if the MS becomes unresponsive, connect a cable
between the optional LC device and the MS’s Ready Out and Injection Hold pins (see
Table 3 ). Then, configure the Contact Closure settings in the Method Editor. You are
responsible for providing this cable.
CAUTION After connecting the external device cables, attach the connector housings.
