Good morning,

I have been troubleshooting a ASP300 which is not powering on at all. I checked all the fuses on the power junction box, power supply, Transformer and even the PCB assay BB. All fuses are good. My conclusion is that power supply or Junction box maybe defective, how I have seen an issue before where the pub assembly with is like the computer on the machine is also defective. I knew the PCB was previously recommended to be replaced every five years. No Fans are coming on when the power switch is set to on.

I would like to hear any further suggestions from anyone with experience on this unit. Which parts would you recommend to order to resolve this issue?

Does anyone know who manufactures or distributes the black plastic compression fittings (with white ferrules) with the "Z" logo, which are used in Sakura VIP processors for connecting 6mm and 8mm tubing to R-1/8" and R-1/4" pipe thread?

When power is switched off or disconnected, on a VIP 5, it generates an EC 3 ("Power Outage") and an EC 7 ("Power is interrupted"). Does anyone have insight into the difference between the two codes?
I have a client whose VIP 5 generates EC 3 (without an EC 7) errors for no discernible (so far) reason. Has anyone run into this before, where it is generating EC 3 errors? Or does anyone have an idea of what could be the cause? The power supply voltages on the main board all seem stable (but I haven't been monitoring them at the time when the error occurred). The instrument is grounded, and no other equipment seems to be having power issues.

Does anyone know the details on  " error code 341- Retort Lid Sensor error". It appeared once, we stopped the program, started it again,  and it completed its run successfully. We just had a PM done on the processor the previous week. It seems to be running fine now  but I would feel more at ease if I knew why the error occurred and how to prevent it from stopping another program run in the future.

Does anyone have a PM procedure, PM checklist, or a service manual for a Milestone KOS tissue processor?  I have a couple of customers who have this unit. They aren't currently reporting a problem, but would like to have them PMed.

I have a vip6 that displays level sense errors when attempting to start a clean cycle. Process completes with no errors. When inspecting sensors I find paraffin buildup around sensors. Temps are within ranges. Any ideas?
