LOAD/INJECT
VALVE: TTL1,
TTL2

If the AS is not connected to Chromeleon or
Chromeleon Xpress, a TTL connection is required
between the AS TTL output and a TTL input on the
IC system. This will allow you to control the
injection valve in the IC system from the AS front
panel. See

for TTL connection

instructions.
