4.2.2 Force Transducer Replacement

If the force transducer breaks and needs to be replaced, follow this step-by-step replacement procedure carefully:

1. Remove the pin or jaw from the transducer pin coming out of the transducer house.

2. Disconnect the Wire Myograph from the Multi Interface.

3. Turn the Wire Myograph upside down and remove the transducer housing by loosening the two screws (A+B) as illustrated

in figure 4.3.

4. The replacement transducer will be shipped with the new transducer inside a new transducer house.

5. Place a small amount of vacuum grease (clear or whitish grease) around the bottom of the transducer housing to seal when

set back in place (see figure 4.4).

6. Carefully realign the transducer housing with the new transducer on the Wire Myograph and reinsert the Allen screws

through the bottom of the Wire Myograph .

7. Tighten the screws and place some vacuum grease around the transducer pin that protrudes from the transducer housing,

see figure 4.2. Make sure that the hole is completely sealed to prevent buffer solution or water from entering the transducer
housing and damaging the new force transducer.

IMPORTANT NOTE
CALIBRATE THE NEW FORCE TRANSDUCER BEFORE PERFORMING A NEW EXPERIMENT.
