Metrohm 830 IC Interface - Manual (Page 16)

2 Installation
2.4 Connection of external instruments
2.4.1 General information
Before an external instrument is connected to the 830 IC Interface, the
830 IC Interface must always be switched off using mains switch 3 !
Each system of the two versions of the 830 IC Interface has four RS232
interfaces 10 or 14 for connection of a maximum of 8 external instru-
ments, an 7 or 11 interface for analog signals from a maximum of 2 de-
tectors and 8 remote output lines 8/9 or 12/13 for controlling external
instruments by making contacts or impulses (see Fig. 3). Information
about the technical data of these interfaces is given in section 4.1.
For installation and startup of external instruments proceed as follows:
1 Switch off all instruments
• Switch off 830 IC Interface and all external instruments using
the mains switch.
2 Connect instruments
• Connect the instruments to the 830 IC Interface according to
the connection diagrams shown in sections 2.4.2 to 2.4.15 by
using the cables named in the diagrams. Other instrument
combinations can be set up by using these examples as a
guide .
3 Switch on all instruments
• Switch on 830 IC Interface and all external instruments using
the mains switch.
4 Instrument settings
Operation with the 830 IC Interface requires that the following
settings must be made:
• Advanced IC instruments:
818 IC Pump
819 IC Detector
820 IC Separation Center
833 IC Liquid Handling Unit
These instruments are already pre-configured, no additional
settings must be made.
Also all other Metrohm IC instruments can be operated with the
830 IC Interface, for the settings of the instruments please refer
to the respective instructions for use.
• 732 IC Detector:
