Connecting the Contact Closure Cable
An external contact closure (trigger) cable relays the start signal from the Agilent LC module
to the Thermo Scientific mass spectrometer. One end of the cable has a DB15 connector and
the other end has a set of exposed wires.
Figure 25 shows the contact closure cable set up for a Thermo Scientific TSQ™ Series mass
spectrometer with a 2-pin connector. For ordering information, see “Ethernet
Communication Kit” on page 33 .

 To connect the contact closure cable to the mass spectrometer
1. Follow the procedure “To install the external contact interface board” on page 30 .
2. Using an appropriate connector for the mass spectrometer, connect the white wire from
the contact closure cable to the Start In+ pin and the brown wire to the Start In– pin on
the mass spectrometer’s input/output (I/O) panel (
Figure 26 ).
3. Connect the cable’s DB15 plug to the RELAY CONTACTS socket located on the LC
module’s installed contact interface board ( Figure 26 ).
Note The instrument control platform for the Thermo Scientific mass spectrometer must
be compatible with the LC Devices instrument control application, and the instrument
control applications must be compatible with the Thermo Scientific application installed
on your data system computer. See the LC Devices
Release Notes.
