Pickering Laboratories Inc.
Electronics Compartment
This compartment contains the central nervous system
of the Pinnacle PCX – the main PC board. From here, all
communication is coordinated.
This compartment is separate from the pump compartment for
two reasons:
1) To segregate the liquid end form the electronic end to avoid
any damage to the PC board by reagents and liquids
2) To keep the board cool from the warm action chamber of the
pumps
This compartment also contains:
Power supply
Cooling fans
Column oven cooling mechanism
Since this compartment is very sensitive to liquids, and shocks, it is strongly recommended that no repairs are
attempted by the user.
If there is a need for the user to open this panel,
please do so only under the recommendation/
instruction of qualified Pickering support personnel.
