 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)
