Agilent prep ALS - Waters Fraction collector III problem

Has anyone been successful in sending a start signal from an Agilent G2260A preparative automatic liquid sampler through a 9-pin remote cable to a Waters Fraction Collector III? I am able to start the fraction collector by shorting out pins 3 and 4 at the back of the unit, however, the start and ground signals from the ALS fail to start it. Thank you for your time.

Hi
You sometimes find the start / stop from the 9 pin is a bit too quick for some other instruments. I believe the G2260A like most 1100 inits will accept an external contacts board, with this you can change the speed of the open and closure which should fix your problem.
