Pin # Signal Description

1 Remote Start In - “TTL” Input: expects a pulse input of great-
er than 5 msec from pin 1 to any ground pin.
2 Ground
3 Remote Config In - “TTL” Input: expects a contact closure or
a jumper from pin 3 to any ground pin. When pin 3 is grounded
a run can not be started by pressing START on the GC. It is
waiting for a start pulse on pin 1. When using an Automatic
Liquid Sampler pressing START on the GC causes the se-
quence to start. The run is started when the injection is made.
4 Ground
5&6 Ready Out - Two sides of a single pole, double-throw relay.
When 5890 is ready then the contacts connected to 5 & 6
or open.
5&9 Also when 5890 is ready the contacts connected to pins 5 & 9
are closed.
7&8 Start Out - Two sides of a normally-open relay. Contacts are
closed for 50 msec to signal the start of a run. If pin 3 is con-
nected to ground then the contacts are closed when the oven
program starts.
10 Same as pin 8.
11 Ground
12 Remote Ready In - “TTL” input. Expects to be connected to
any ground pin by an external device if that device is “Not
Ready.”

Figure 310-2. Using the parallel remote PC board.

When connecting multiple instruments to the

5890 remote connector there are TWO main
5890 causes for running into trouble. They are the
A or Series II Instrument 1
following:

Instrument 2 #1
Parallel Re- The instruments connecting to the remote con-
mote Cable nector must use the same polarity on the remote
(05990-6001 Instrument 3 connection (+ and - ). Even when using all HP
9) cables, the connections need to be converted so
that the instrument inputs and outputs (+ and
Parallel Remote ground connections) are the same.
PCB
(05990-60320)
Example: #2
When using multiple instruments, it is important
to be aware of which instrument is starting the
run. In the case where an Automatic Liquid Sam-
Instrument 1 (+) pler is being used as one of the instruments, the
sampler will send the start between pin 1 and
the ground of the 5890. The other instruments
Instrument 1 GND to be started also need to be connected to those
same pins on the parallel remote PC board.
Instrument 2 GND

Asynchronous standalone cable configuration for HP G1512A

controllers
When configured for asynchronous standalone mode, the APG remote
connector is redefined to provide independent start, stop, and readiness
signals for each injector. General•purposecables with spade lugs and a
terminal block can be used to connect the output to an HP 35900C/D/E
analog•to•digital(A/D) convertor configured for asynchronous operation.

8 Front Start out yellow red (remote A)

NOTE: (1) The remote connector on the HP G1512A is APG-compatible which

means it accepts and outputs TTL levels (0 V low, +5 V high) rather than contact
closures.
(2) This mode is only supported when the GC is in isothermal mode. Typically
this means that the GC would not have to be started and, therefore, would
require no cabling.
