Bio-Rad BioLogic Signal Import Module (SIM) - Manual (Page 83)

The ICM translates the signal from the QuadTec detector and transmits it to the DuoFlow Workstation.
Figure 3-10. Instrument Control Module (ICM)
(front and rear views; for use when the Maximizer is not to be used)
The ICM contains the following:
Front View of ICM Module (required if Maximizer is not in use)
• Address setting: dial should always be set to position 1.
• Instrument bus connector: System Cable 17 connects to the Workstation and the BioFrac fraction
collector (if used). (Refer to Figures 3-4 and 3-5.)
Rear View
• Serial Comm connector: System Cable 25 (QuadTec RS232 cable), connects to the QuadTec
detector.
• Power connector: System Cable 26, connects to the DuoFlow Workstation DC outlet.
The QuadTec detector is equipped with a universal power supply, which operates with supply voltages from
90 to 260 Volts AC. A manual setting of the supply voltage is not required.
CAUTION! Make sure to use a properly grounded power outlet and the power cable provided with the
system.
To connect the QuadTec to the Workstation via the ICM module,
1. Use System Cable 25 to connect from the RS232 connector on the back of the QuadTec to the
COMM connector on the ICM module.
2. Use System Cable 26, the ICM power cord, to connect to the back of the Workstation.
3. Use System Cable 17 to connect between an instrument bus connector on the ICM and an available
instrument bus connector on the Workstation.
4. If you are using a Bio-Rad device with an instrument bus connector, such as the BioFrac fraction
collector, use another System Cable 17 to connect between the instrument bus connectors on the
BioFrac and the ICM.
