No. Description
4 System Interlink port
Allows power on/off control for the detector from the Vanquish system base
and additional device communication and synchronization between the
autosampler and the detector
In addition, the connection provides device communication between the
charged aerosol detector and the pump. For example, certain problems in the
charged aerosol detector cause an automatic stop of the pump flow to prevent
a build-up of excess liquid inside the detector.
5 USB hub ("A" type connector)
Allows connection to other modules in the Vanquish system
6 USB (Universal Serial Bus) port ("B" type connector)
Allows connection to other modules in the Vanquish system or the computer
on which the data management system is installed, such as the Chromeleon
software
7 Rating plate, indicating part number, module name, line and fuse rating, serial
number, and the manufacturer's address
8 Gas inlet
Allows connection to a gas supply.
9 Gas exhaust
Allows connection to ventilation.
TIP Thermo Fisher Scientific recommends using the USB ports only as
described above. If the USB ports are used for any other purpose,
Thermo Fisher Scientific cannot ensure proper functionality.
