User manual BIOPTECHS FCS3

[. . . ] Plug in the 4-pin connector to the back of the chamber; orientation does not matter (non-polarized). Rotate the locking lever fully counter clockwise then place the chamber into the stage adapter with the 4-pin plug facing away from you and the dovetail engaging the adapter plate. Turn the locking lever clockwise to engage and secure the chamber to the stage adapter plate. 11. Plug the rainbow colored wire into the controller (6 Pin mini DIN) and follow the controller instructions. 3560 Beck Road · Butler, PA 16002 · Voice: 724-282-7145 · Fax: 724-282-0745 · E-mail: info@bioptechs. com · Web: www. bioptechs. com Before You Begin: · Check to make sure there is no visible damage in shipment and save all packing materials. [. . . ] Note: If the alarm went off there must have been a reason. Check the chamber before resetting the controller. Calibrate substitutes precision resistors into the circuit that reads the thermistors so that calibration adjustments can be made to a known value. 3560 Beck Road · Butler, PA 16002 · Voice: 724-282-7145 · Fax: 724-282-0745 · E-mail: info@bioptechs. com · Web: www. bioptechs. com Chamber is a six pin mini DIN socket where the FCS3 is connected. Back Panel of the FCS2 & FCS3 Controller AC Power line input, power switch, voltage selector, and fuses are all incorporated in the AC Power Input Module. The controller can operate between 90 - 260V 50-60Hz, or a 24V battery can be used as an alternate power supply. The fuse carrier contains two 0. 5A slow blow fuses. The fuses can be accessed by prying the fuse block out of its socket with a small screwdriver wedged under the small slot in the opening of the AC line receptacle. When replacing the fuse block, make sure to align the arrow on the outside of the fuse block with the closest voltage value to your supply line voltage: For 90-130 supply line voltage place the fuse block with the arrow pointing to 110-120V. For 180-260 supply line voltage place the fuse block with the arrow pointing to 220-240V. Temp Out is a voltage output direct from two instrument amplifiers reading the thermistors from channel A and B. The voltage output from this socket is temperature / 10. The left pin (as you look at the back of the controller) is channel A, center pin is channel B, and right pin is ground. Remote Setpoint is an analog input that allows the user to set the controllers setpoint from an external DC source. A DC voltage can be applied to the tip of this jack equal to temperature /10. When the jack is inserted into the controller it will automatically switch to the jacks value. When removed it will default to the setting on the front of the controller. Use for programming or cycling operating temperatures. 3560 Beck Road · Butler, PA 16002 · Voice: 724-282-7145 · Fax: 724-282-0745 · E-mail: info@bioptechs. com · Web: www. bioptechs. com Controller Operation: 1. Turn the unit on using the main on-off switch located on the rear panel. The Chamber need not be plugged in at this time. All further adjustments are made on the front panel. Set the display switch to the "SET" position. Insert the enclosed screwdriver into the hole marked Setpoint and adjust the controller to the desired setpoint. [. . . ] · An interruption in AC line power may cause the logic levels to change state. · Physical displacement of the thermistor from the microaqueduct surface. Additional information: · The thermistor that regulates the chamber frame is sealed internally eliminating accidental displacement. Therefore, there is no need for an alarm on the chamber frame circuit. · · The display can be switched between Set, Slide and Chamber at any time to monitor temperature without interfering with the regulation. If the Chamber was preheated it will come up to temperature in about 1 minute. [. . . ]
