DESCRIPTION

Cryostat

The NX50 and NX70 utilize a rapid response cooling system that actively cools all areas of the cryochamber that come in contact with the sample, including the specimen clamp, cryobar and blade. The result is precise temperature control and half the energy consumption of other routine cryostats. Low energy LED lighting with user-adjustable intensity is also included.

compressor starting problem--control board suspected

Hi all,

It seems the control board is defective, as it is not switching the compressor correctly. All other functions appear to be working normally.

I am looking for a replacement board, as well as wiring diagrams if available.

For troubleshooting, I connected the compressor directly to power and it runs properly, which suggests the compressor itself is OK and the fault is likely on the board or in the control circuit.

Any help would be appreciated.

Rotation of a handle does not advance the knife

Rotating a handle does not move knife (or whatever it called) while pressing buttons on LCD screen does. So stepper motor, its driver and associated mechanical parts should be all fine. Removing that handle does not reveal any sensors. Where the sensor which reacts on handle rotation is located? How to get a physical access there?  

Equipment: Cryostar NX50

Thanks.
