To connect the Ethernet communication cable
• Connect the Ethernet switch to the Ethernet connector port of the PDA detector using
the supplied CAT5, 7 ft. long, shielded Ethernet cable with ferrite clamp.
• Connect the Ethernet switch to the data system computer using the supplied CAT5, 7 ft.
long, shielded Ethernet cable with ferrite clamp.
Connecting the System Interconnect Cable
The system interconnect cable coordinates the timing of the Accela modules during an
injection sequence. There are two versions of this cable. The previous version of the cable,
which you might have in your laboratory, contains five connectors labeled DET, M/S, A/S,
LC PUMP, and MS PUMP. The new version of the interconnect cable, shown in
contains three detector connectors labeled DETECTOR, two pump connectors labeled
PUMP, an autosampler connector, and an MS detector connector.

To connect the system interconnect cable
1. Plug one of the connectors labeled DETECTOR into the left, 8-pin receptacle labeled
pins 1 through 8 on the back panel of the detector (see
2. Plug one of the connectors labeled PUMP into the 8-pin receptacle on the back panel of
the Accela Pump.
3. Plug the autosampler connector (identified by the A/S tag on its adjacent cable) into the
left, 8-pin receptacle on the back panel of the Accela Autosampler.
