1. With NO power to the instrument, remove its top cover and locate JP2 on the multidrop PCA, which is
assembled with a shunt that jumpers Pins 21  22 (Figure 7-12).
2. Remove a
nd store the shunt (place the shunt on one pin only) for all instruments in the network except the
instrument that is to be the last: make sure a shunt is in place connecting Pins 21  22 for the last
instrument.
Note: If you are adding an instrument to the end of a previously configured chain, remove the shunt
between Pins 21  22 of JP2 on the multidrop PCA in the instrument that was previously the last
instrument in the chain.
3. Close the instrument.
4. Using straight-through, DB9 male  DB9 Female cable, interconnect the host and the analyzers as shown
in Figure 7-13.
5. BEFORE co
mmunicating from the host, power on the instruments and check that the Machine ID code is
unique for each. (On the front panel menu, use SETUP>MORE>COMM>ID. Note that the default ID is
typically the model number; to change the 4-digit identification number, press the key below the
corresponding digit to be changed).
NOTE:
Teledyne API recommends setting up the first link, between the Host and the first analyzer and testing it
before setting up the rest of the chain.
