1.4 Non-IEEE-488 Communication Connections
Non-IEEE-488 communication connections on the 996 detector include:
• Analog Outputs – The 996 detector provides two, unattenuated, 1 volt-per
absorbance-unit analog output channels to integrators, chart recorders, or other
components.
• Event Inputs and Outputs – The 996 detector sends and receives contact closure
signals to and from other instruments.
You make all non-IEEE-488 communication cable connections to the 996 detector at the
rear panel (see
).
Attention:
To meet the regulatory requirements of immunity from external electrical
disturbances that may affect the performance of this instrument, do not use cables longer
than 9.8 feet (3 meters) when you make connections to the screw-type barrier terminal
strips. In addition, ensure that you always connect the shield of each cable to chassis
ground at one instrument only.
1.4.1 Connecting Analog Output Cables
The values of the analog output signals generated by the 996 detector are specified
by parameter values set from the Millennium
32
Workstation. For details, refer to the

Procedure
To connect the Waters 996 detector to a device that receives analog output signals from
the 996 detector
1. Pull off the Analog output terminal strip from the 996 detector rear panel
). This step simplifies the following steps.
