TITLE: Replacing Pre-Programmed Controller or RF Power Boards in a Covaris
S220 Instrument
PURPOSE: Instructions for replacing 220 series
Controller or RF Power Boards which have been
pre-programmed for use in an existing instrument.
NOTE: if installing an UNPROGRAMMED board,
follow instructions in appropriate Covaris Service
Manual.
Important: if servicing an S220 produced prior to December 15, 2011, (serial
number less than 1760) it will be necessary to obtain the current SonoLab CD
image from the Covaris website. Instructions are included in the 'New
Controller Laptop Support' section below. Obtaining the software requires a
user account which may take a day or more to become active. Make certain
that your user account is active prior to beginning work.
PROCEDURE:
GAINING CIRCUIT BOARD ACCESS

replacement in an ESD-Safe environment to avoid potential for static discharge damage
on the PCBA.

screws on each side of device).
