Now I have a new problem: the Autoclone control unit was working
yesterday am, and now it's not. No blown fuses--it beeps once when
powered up, and there's power to the unit, but none of the 3 lights on the
front are lit, and I can't make the waste catcher move, enter sort
intsructions, or move the plate. It doesn't accept keypad commands.
I do get stream deflection when the unit is powered up, so the sort
signals are being sent via the BNC cables, but plate control is absent.
The pressure supply tubing is attached, and I get no feedback
when pressing the keypad keys, so it's not pneumatic, it's electronic.
The manual suggestion for this condition is bad or disconnected logic
cable, but it is connected at both ends, and I tested each lead for
continuity and they are all intact. Does anyone have any other
suggestions?
Shooting in the dark again,
Steve
