Eppendorf Centrifuge 5804r Manual

[Tarja Rabito]

Idownloaded the service manual for the 5804/5810 centrifuge from this site. Unfortuantely the quality is not so good so I cannot read most of the text on the diagrams (section 8). Also the pictures that are in this manual look rather different from my machine. Mine is a 5810R and I realize that some pictures are of the R model and some are not, but even the ones of the R model don't look like mine. In particular is the breaking resistor.

The bad news is that there are newer and older versions of these machines. "Refresher" is the newer version and "Non-Refresher' is the older version. I have the older version and Eppendorf no longer has a service manual for the non-refresher.

I have since traced the problem to the frequency converter card. Now the problem is that I can't take this card apart. It has a metal base on it that I need to take off to access the bottom of the circuit card. Anyone know how to do this?

No, Eppendorf never published that level of detail, even for their tech staff. You might get some steers from some of the other Eppendorf model forums on this site or medwrench, though. Some of the guys have hacked in pretty well and come up with good fixes.
