Electrical Connections

The GPIB connector is used to connect the pump with a computer. The address and control switch module next to the GPIB connector determines the GPIB address of your pump. The switches are preset to a default address (Table 31 on page 218 or Table 35 on page 223). This address is recognized at powercycling the module.

The CAN bus is a serial bus with high speed data transfer. The two connectors for the CAN bus are used for internal Agilent 1100 Series module data transfer and synchronization.

One analog output provides a pressure signal for integrators or data handling systems.

The interface board slot is used for external contacts and BCD bottle number output or LAN connections.

The REMOTE connector may be used in combination with other analytical instruments from Agilent Technologies if you want to use features such as start, stop, common shut down, prepare, and so on.

With the appropriate software, the RS-232C connector may be used to control the module from a computer through a RS-232C connection. This connector is activated and can be configured with the configuration switch next to the GPIB connector (see “Communication Settings for RS-232C Communication” on page 224). See your software documentation for further information.

The power input socket accepts a line voltage of 100–120 or 220–240 volts AC ± 10% with a line frequency of 50 or 60 Hz. Maximum power consumption is 220 VA. There is no voltage selector on your module because the power supply has wide-ranging capability. There are no externally accessible fuses, because automatic electronic fuses are implemented in the power supply. The security lever at the power input socket prevents the module cover from being taken off when line power is still connected.

Never use cables other than the ones supplied by Agilent Technologies to ensure proper functionality and compliance with safety or EMC regulations.
