Making connections

To prepare and make connections with the 2- conductor cable:

1Cut the cable into pieces of appropriate length.

2Strip about 0.25 cm of insulation from each end of the cable.

3Remove the terminal block connector from the liquid handler. Insert each wire into the appropriate slot on the terminal block connector.

Note: When making connections, be sure to maintain the correct orientation of the connector relative to the port.

Push the wire all the way in; then tighten its corresponding pin screw.

4Reconnect the terminal block connector to the liquid handler. The wires will be facing left and the pin screws will be facing you as you look at the rear of the instrument. Push the connector in as far as it will go. It is designed to fit snugly into its receptacle.

5Connect the opposite ends of the wires to the other device(s). Be sure to match ground connections.

6Label each cable to identify the purpose of the connection.
