889 IC Sample Center
Warning
Take care to ensure that the ventilation openings on the rear side of the
device are not covered. Note that blocked ventilation openings could
have an influence on the performance of the device, in particular on its
cooling output.
Objects placed on the device could also impair the cooling output.
Objects can be placed at the sides of the 889 IC Sample Center. If an
object is placed on only one side, then a minimum clearance of 5 cm must
be maintained. In the case of more than one sides, a minimum clearance
of 10 cm applies.
3.2 Connecting a computer
The 889 IC Sample Center requires a USB connection to a computer in
order to be able to be controlled by a PC software. When a 6.2151.020
cable USB A - USB B is used, the instrument can be connected directly,
either to a USB socket on a computer, to a connected USB hub or to a
different Metrohm control instrument.
Cable connection and driver installation
A driver installation is required in order to ensure that the 889 IC Sample
Center is recognized by the PC software. To accomplish this, you must
comply with the procedures specified. The following steps are necessary:
1 Installing software
￭ Insert the MagIC Net ™ PC software installation CD and carry
out the installation program directions.
￭ Exit the program if you have started it after the installation.
2 Establishing cable connections
￭ Check whether the fuse and the supply voltage which are speci-
fied on the rear side of the device also match the prevailing cir-
cumstances.
￭ Connect the 889 IC Sample Center to the mains supply.
￭ Connect the instrument to a USB connector (Type A) of your com-
puter (see manual of your computer). The 6.2151.020 cable
USB A - USB B is used for this purpose. The USB connector of
the 889 IC Sample Center is located on the rear of the instrument.
