COOL DOWN if the system is already cold or cooling down. If the CryoProbe System
is warm or warming up, press
WARM UP to reset an ERROR. In case of an ERROR
please consult also the chapter "Troubleshooting" on page 71.
LED test
All LEDs light up automatically after the CryoCooling Unit main switch is turned
on.
Technical data: CryoCooling Unit
Dimensions 800 × 720 × 1300 mm [w × d × h]
Weight 400 kg
Electricity AC 230 V (1 phase) 50/60 Hz,
500 W average, 1500 W peak,
required external fuse upstream: T 10 A (T = time-lag fuse).
Acoustic noise max. 61 dB(A) 2 m distant (CryoCooling Unit only)
The CryoCooling Unit complies with overvoltage category II and its degree of pro-
tection is IP20.
Coldhead
The actual cooling device inside the CryoCooling Unit is the Coldhead. It is a two-
stage Gifford-McMahon cycle cryo-refrigerator that uses compressed He for con-
tinuous closed-cycle refrigeration.
CryoController
All processes are performed and supervised autonomously by the CryoController
which is located inside the CryoCooling Unit. Thus, the CryoCooling Unit does not
rely on any external computer or software for its operation. However, an RS232
interface is present that can be connected to a dedicated PC terminal, running
special software. The software functions available on the external computer are
solely for the purpose of remote control and monitoring.
He Compressor 3.2.3
The He Compressor unit provides compressed He and electrical power to the
Coldhead inside the CryoCooling Unit. It consists of a compressor pump, a heat
exchanger, and an Adsorber.
CAUTION: Never use the He Compressor with a gas other than high purity He. It
would be contaminated and the system made unusable with a high cost for clean-
ing and repair.
