Installation and Setup
42
injector or detector port at the top can be used. This may be the case
if you have an older GC or a GC equipped with PPC.
Another consideration is whether or not you have AutoSampler
installed. If you have an AutoSampler and PPC installed on your
GC, contact your PerkinElmer service engineer.
The ATD/TD is controlled from a computer (PC) or from its own
touch screen keypad. Control lines, ready and start signals are
provided to synchronize the ATD/TD, the GC and the data
acquisition system.
Electrical Connections
Electrical connections between the ATD/TD and the GC are made at
the ATD/TD input/output port, shown in Figure 1. This port is
located on the back of the instrument.
There are six options for connecting the ATD/TD to a GC:
1. ATD/TD to AutoSystem or Clarus 500 GC with a
TotalChrom LINK Interface.
2. ATD/TD to AutoSystem or Clarus 500 GC and PE
Nelson 900 Series Intelligent Interface.
3. ATD/TD to AutoSystem or Clarus 500 GC and Network
Chromatographic Interface (NCI).
4. ATD/TD to a GC other than an AutoSystem or Clarus
500 or the HP 6890.
5. ATD/TD to the HP 6890.
6. If the ATD/TD is to be controlled from the PC software,
the PC must be connected directly to the ATD/TD via an
RS232C interface.
