Product : FlexTek 2
Title : Modification Z1-Z2 Sensor Board
Release date : May 16, 2000
Need special attention from : Product Specialist / Service Engineer
Dear Colleagues,
Recently, we received information from the FlexTek 2 manufacturer about a few hardware
modifications that need to be performed on the instrument. Details on these modifications are
listed below.
Depending on the serial number of the instrument, somewhat different modifications need to
be performed.
A few modifications are important for the reliable functioning of the liquid level detection in all
circumstances. Another modification is important to extend the lifetime of the Z1/Z2 sensor
board.
This modification is performed by the manufacturer on instruments with serial number 1021,
1028, 1031, 1035, 1036, 1037 and instruments with serial number 1039 or higher.
Modification 3 : Removal of C3
To avoid liquid level sensing problems during a dispensing step for one plate while the other
plate is incubating with shaking enabled, the following modification needs to be done.
The capacitor C3 (100 nF) has to be removed from the Z1-Z2 Sensor board.
Instruments with serial number 1056 or higher are already equipped with this new board.
Instruments with serial number S/N 904 to 1020, 1022 to 1027, 1029, 1030, 1032, 1033, 1034, 1038
To upgrade these instruments to the latest level, modifications 1, 3 and 4 need to be
performed.
Instruments with serial number S/N 1021, 1028, 1031, 1035, 1036, 1037 and S/N 1039 up to 1055
Modifications 1, 2 and 3 have been performed by the manufacturer.
Modification 4 (replacement of CPU Incubator board) still has to be done.
The new CPU incubator board can be ordered with article code 45610186
From serial number 1056 onwards, the instruments are provided with the modified CPU
Incubator board.
For a series of instruments, this modified CPU Incubator board will be included in the Sales
package. Serial numbers are : 0968, 0981, 0984, 0985, 0986, 0987, 1028, 1031, 1039,
1040, 1044, 1045, 1047, 1052.
The Incubator PCB board will also be included with ‘modules’ with S/N 0790, 0818, 0834
Best regards,
