Peripherals
 A PC must be connected. It is essential for operation.
 A printer should be connected so that you can print out measuring results.
 A balance should be connected, so you do not need to enter the sample weight by hand.
Connecting peripherals
The following picture shows a detail of the rear of the analyzer with the associated connections:
Legend:
1 "PC" PC connector (USB)
2 "Reserve" reserve
3 "~" mains connector
Proceed as follows:
 Connect the PC to the appropriate connector (1) on the back of the analyzer using the correct
cable.
 Connect the power supply cable to the mains connector (3).
 If you wish, connect a printer to the PC.
 If you wish, connect a balance to the PC.
Configuring the balance
The serial interface parameters of a connected balance must match the parameters of the PC's serial
interface. If you have not entered anything different, the operating software configuration file sets the
PC's serial interface as follows:
 Baud: 2400
 Data bits: 7
 Stop bits: 1
 Parity: odd
Select Options > Configuration to edit the parameters of the PC's serial interface if your balance
requires different settings.
Connecting supply lines and waste gas lines
Note
The following section is part of initial start-up. All steps described in initial startup before connecting
supply lines and waste gas lines must have already been performed. See Start-up (on page 109).
