Functional Description Block Functions The Multifuge 3L-R/3S-R, Legend RT is a refrigerated microprocessor controlled laboratory tabletop centrifuge with noise reduced induction drive motor incorporating automatic rotor and imbalance detection and self-closing door locking systems. The unit is equipped with following boards and components (block diagram 4-1): •...
Main Board Functions 3.2.2 Intermediate Circuit The DC intermediate circuit serves as an energy store between the AC power input and the transmitted motor performance. The intermediate circuit consists of a heat-sink-cooled bridge rectifier and several reservoir capacitors which are softly charged across a power resistor R76 when ever the unit is switched on.
Key and Indication Board - Easycontrol The key and indication board is mounted behind the operating panel. The connection to the main board is done by a 4 pole cable by which the serial data transfer as well as the low voltage supply of 5V is verified.
Key and Indication Board - Quickcontrol The key and indication board is mounted behind the operating panel. The connection to the main board is done by a 4 pole cable by which the serial data transfer as well as the low voltage supply of 5V is verified.
Speed Detection Board On a small board, which is attached underneath the motor, the circuits for speed detection and signal shaping are arranged. The motor speed is optically detected by an infra-red light barrier. The motor axle has a hole at the same level as the light barrier. This effects that the light beam will be interrupted twice during one motor revolution.
