Archon to Tekmar LSC 2000/3000 to Varian 3400 and 3600 GC's

When connecting to a Varian series 3400 or 3600 GC with Star Workstation,

connectors from both the Archon I/O cable and the Star Workstation cable

must access the J16 and J23 connectors on the GC motherboard. This is

possible using the J16 Splitter (p/n DY-700030-00) and the J23 Splitter

(p/n DY-700031-00) following the instructions below:

1Turn off the power and unplug the power cord from the GC. Remove the

top panels to allow access to the GC motherboard.

2Route the GC-end of the Archon I/O cable and the GC-end of the Star

Workstation cable through the back panel of the GC (see Star Workstation

installation diagram).

3Connect the 5-pin female Molex connector (P23) from the Star Workstation

cable to the male connector on the J23 Splitter with 4 pins (the second

position lacks a pin).

4Connect the 5-pin female Molex connector from the Archon I/O cable to the

5-pin male connector on the J23 Splitter.

5Connect the J23 Splitter to the J23 connector on the GC motherboard (see

GC manual for motherboard layout schematic).

6Connect the 4-pin female Molex connector from the Archon I/O cable to

either of the 4-pin male connectors on the J16 Splitter.

7Connect the 4-pin female Molex connector (P16) from the Star Workstation

cable to either of the 4-pin male connectors on the J16 Splitter.

8Connect the J16 Splitter to the J16 connector on the GC motherboard (see

GC manual for motherboard layout schematic).

9Complete the installation of the Archon I/O cable and of the Star

Workstation cable according to the standard instructions for those cables.

The following sequence occurs when the Archon and a Purge and Trap unit is

configured with the Varian 3400 and 3600 GC with Star Workstation:

1The Archon begins its sample handling after receiving a Ready signal from

the Purge and Trap unit. As configured above, the Purge and Trap goes to

Ready without waiting for the GC. This allows the user to prepare the GC

or Workstation while the sample is being purged and collected in the Purge

and Trap.

2The Purge and Trap collects the purged sample onto its trap and waits for a

Ready signal from the GC. This occurs after the Workstation issues a

Ready signal to the GC through the Workstation's cable plug attached to the

GC's J16 Ready-In pins, 1 and 2. In turn, the GC sends a Ready-Out signal

from its J23 pins 1 and 3 into the Archon I/O cable.

3When the Purge and Trap has both completed its purge cycle and detected a

Ready signal from the GC, the Purge and Trap desorbs the sample from its

trap and issues a Desorb-Out signal to both the Archon and to the Varian

GC. This signal travels through the Remote I/O cable supplied with the

Archon.

4The Desorb-Out signal from the Purge and Trap starts the Archon's

AutoDrain cycle which drains the sparge vessel if a water-sample method is

being run on the Archon.

5The Desorb-Out signal simultaneously travels through the Archon Remote

I/O cable to its connector attached to the GC's J16 Start-In pins, 3 and 4,

and initiates the GC run. The GC in turn initiates a Start-Out signal

through J23 pins, 4 and 5, which triggers the Workstation to begin data

collection.
