3.
Remove the foam spacers, and then remove the polythene packaging.
4.
Before connecting the UCI to the power source, wait approximately four hours to
allow the instrument to come to room temperature and to allow any condensation that
might have occurred during shipping to evaporate. After four hours, check the UCI; if
condensation still exists, allow the UCI to continue to warm up (without connecting it
to the power source) until the condensation is completely gone.
3.3 Connecting and Setting Up the UCI in Chromeleon
3.3.1 Connecting the UCI to the Chromeleon Server PC
The UCI is controlled by the Chromeleon Chromatography Management System.
Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends connecting the UCI to the Chromeleon server PC by
using a USB connection (
→
page 13). If a USB connection cannot be used (for example,
Windows
®
NT 4.0 does not support USB), establish a network connection (LAN) for the
communication between the UCI and the data system (
→
page 15). However, in this case,
observe the recommendations for network operation (
→
page 26).
After connecting the UCI to the Chromeleon server PC, install and configure the UCI in
Chromeleon (
→
page 27).
3.3.2 Connecting the UCI to External Devices
Two signal cables are included in the UCI shipment. Each cable can be used to send one
analog signal and one digital signal to the UCI and also to connect one relay contact to an
external device. To do so, plug the 6-pin connector of the signal cable into one of the
analog inputs ports on the rear panel.
Observe the wire labels when connecting the wires to the desired components. To avoid
errors in measuring, connect the ground wire to the corresponding detector connector.
Additional signal cables are available on request:
Signal cable
Part No.
Mini-DIN, 6-pin, cable length: 5 m
6000.1004 (two cables are included in the UCI shipment)
Mini-DIN, 6-pin, cable length: 10 m
6911.0005
As a result of the cable length, the signal quality may be slightly affected when a 10 m
signal cable is used.
