Attention: The Bus SAT/IN Module may be used for IN VITRO diagnostic applications.
This is a highly sensitive instrument. Read this installation manual before use.
When using the instrument, follow generally accepted procedures for quality control and
methods development.
If you observe a change in the retention of a particular compound, in the resolution
between two compounds, or in peak shape, immediately take steps to determine the
reason for the changes.Until you determine the cause of a change, do not rely upon the
results of the separations.
Attention: This equipment generates and uses radio frequency energy. If not installed
and used strictly in accordance with the user’s guide, it may cause harmful interference to
radio communications. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause
interference, in which case you must take measures to correct the interference at your own
expense.
Attention: To meet the regulatory requirements of immunity from external
electrical disturbances that may affect the performance of this instrument, do not
use cables longer than 9.8 feet (3 meters) when you make connections to the
screw-type barrier terminal strips.In addition, ensure you always connect the
shield of the cable to chassis ground at one instrument only.
The Installation Category (Overvoltage Category) for this instrument is Level II.The Level
II category pertains to equipment that receives its electrical power from a local level, such
as an electrical wall outlet.

Bus SAT/IN Overview 13
1
1 Introduction
This chapter is intended as an overview to the Bus SAT/IN module.Perform all Bus SAT/IN
module procedures in the order specified in this guide.
Attention: Do not power up this unit until all procedures described in this guide are
performed. Improper powerup can damage the unit and void the warranty.
Attention: The Bus SAT/IN module does not have an ON/OFF switch. Always disconnect
the power cord at either the wall outlet or the power supply before attaching or removing
the connection to the Bus SAT/IN module. Failure to do so may damage the unit.
1.1 Bus SAT/IN Overview
The Waters™ Bus SAT/IN™ (Satellite Interface) module is an A/D (analog-to-digital)
converter (Figure 1-1). The Bus SAT/IN module contains two individual A/D converters,
allowing conversion of two independent channels of data on two time bases.

1.2 Bus SAT/IN Module Connections
This section covers:
• Bus SAT/IN to Bus LAC/E connection
• Bus SAT/IN module channels
• Event input and output
• Flow of data
Bus SAT/IN-to-Bus LAC/E connection
The Bus SAT/IN module communicates with the Bus LAC/E™ card through the Bus LAC/E
I/O Distribution Box (Figure 1-2). The I/O Distribution Box accepts up to four Bus SAT/IN
modules.
Figure 1-2 Bus SAT/IN to Bus LAC/E Card Connections
Bus SAT/IN module channels
The Bus SAT/IN module has two independent channels, and converts data from two
detectors (up to eight channels of data for each Bus LAC/E card).Figure 1-3 illustrates the
Bus SAT/IN module channels.

Event input and outputs
The Bus SAT/IN module has two event input signal connections and two event output
signal connections.
Flow of data
The Bus SAT/IN module:
1. Receives analog signals from detectors
2. Converts the analog signals to digital format
3. Sends the digital signals through the Bus LAC/E I/O Distribution Box to the Bus
LAC/E card inside a host computer
The Bus LAC/E card sends the data to a host PC running Millennium software
(Figure 1-4).

2 Installation
This chapter covers the necessary procedures for installing the Bus SAT/IN module.
2.1 Selecting the Site and Unpacking
Selecting the site
Install the Bus SAT/IN module in an area where:
• The Bus SAT/IN module is up to 4, 8, 16, 32 or 64 meters from the Bus LAC/E I/O
Distribution Box, depending on the length of the serial cable.(The startup kit
contains an 8 m cable. See Appendix B, Spare Parts for part numbers for other
cable lengths.)
• The Bus SAT/IN module is up to two meters (maximum analog cable length) from
the detectors to which it is to be connected.
• Bench space is approximately 9 inches wide by 12 inches deep by 4 inches high (23
centimeters by 30.5 centimeters by 10.5 centimeters).
Note: Do not stack heavy devices on top of the Bus SAT/IN module.
• Temperature is 50 to 95 °F (10 to 35 °C).
• Relative humidity is 20 to 80%, non-condensing.
• Vibration and shock are negligible.
Caution: To avoid chemical hazards, always observe good laboratory practices when
handling solvents and performing maintenance.
Power requirements
The Bus SAT/IN module draws power from a table-model, regulated power supply. See
Appendix A, Bus SAT/IN Module Specifications for power supply specifications.

2.2 Connecting the Serial Cable
The Bus SAT/IN serial cable transmits digital data to the Bus LAC/E card inside the host
PC via the I/O Distribution Box.The cable connecting the Bus SAT/IN module to the Bus
LAC/E I/O Distribution Box is a six-connector serial cable with modified modular jack
(MMJ) connectors.
Procedure
To connect the Bus SAT/IN module serial cable to the I/O Distribution Box:
1. Place the Bus SAT/IN module on a level surface.
2. Insert one end of the Bus SAT/IN serial cable in the connector marked DATA on
the Bus SAT/IN module (Figure 2-1). Both ends of the cable are identical.
Figure 2-1 Connecting Bus SAT/IN to I/O Distribution Box
3. Insert the other end of the serial cable into the first available Bus SAT/IN port on
the Bus LAC/E I/O Distribution Box as shown in Figure 2-1.
2.3 Connecting Analog Cables
Analog cables transmit analog data from the detector to the Bus SAT/IN module.
Attention: To meet the regulatory requirements of immunity from external electrical
disturbances that may affect the performance of this instrument, do not use cables longer
than 9.8 feet (3 meters) when you make connections to the screw-type barrier terminal
strips. In addition, ensure you always connect the shield of the cable to chassis ground at
one instrument only.
