Tracer 5i connection ports

[ru...@sfu.ca]

Hi all, and I have a question about the Tracer 5i. Another user in my lab set up the instrument with it placed all the way down on the stand. The cables and connector ports were bent and are now loose, so that power comes and goes and I can't operate the trigger cable. Any ideas on how to fix? or is this a factory repair? any feedback is welcome.

Hi!

a) USB connection (could be your TRIGGER cable) -> get a NEW high grade 2 feet cable from a local store/AMAZON with ideally Gold coated connectors (e.g. not the cheapest one) 

b) POWER  connection. The TRACER5i has a issue with the internal power connector which becomes “loose” and does not hold the external plug. This would be a repair, which is now in Madison @ BRUKER.

Hope that helps…
