This supplies power to the stage and measures the temperature using platinum resistor sensors.
Instrument Bus
This connection is only used for the LNP95 Liquid Nitrogen Pump. If your stage has been supplied with an

to the LNP95.
It may be necessary to pull back the sprung mounted violet moulding towards the
cable before inserting the connector.

correctly.
Any of the stages which use an expansion board will be marked with the same label as the CSS450 expansion
board.
