For information about the pin assignments of the other devices, refer to the respective instrument manual.
Use Signal Cable P/N 6074.0001 for the Following Instruments:
Dionex UltiMate 3000 Series Variable Wavelength Detector
Dionex ICS-Series Variable Wavelength Detector
Pin Assignment (cable view)
The signal cable below shows the pin assignment for the UltiMate 3000 Series Variable Wavelength Detector and the ICS-Series Variable Wavelength Detector. One end of the cable has a Mini-DIN connector that connects to the digital I/O port on the detector rear panel. The other end of the cable has separate wires that connect to the external device(s):
The detector has two identical digital I/O ports (port A and port B). Signal names for port B are shown in parentheses.
The pin assignment is as follows:
Color |
Signal name |
Pin |
Red (or pink) |
Digital out 3 (4) relay |
1 |
Gray |
Digital in 3 (4) relay |
2 |
Green |
Digital in common GND for digital in 3 (4) and 1 (2) |
3 |
Yellow |
Digital in 1(2) plus |
5 |
Brown |
Digital out 1(2) plus |
6 |
White |
Digital out 1/3 (2/4) relay common |
