Step 2

              Testing the wires.               

• Be sure not to cross the leads when testing a wire so as to not short the wire!
• 3. The following color chart shows which wire is in which autosampler connector pin.
• 4. Place one lead in one of the autosampler connector holes (yellow circle).
• It does not matter which lead is put on either end.
• Place the other lead on the other end of the corresponding colored wire (blue circle). It can be either on the wire itself of the metal of receptacle holding the wire.
• If the connection is good, you will hear a sound from the multimeter.
• 5. Continue doing this for all of the wires.
• Note, the green wire is not used.
