Are Window Maker™ Heating Modules Voltage Specific?
No.
The replacement heating modules used with the MICROSOLV Window Maker® are not limited to a specific geographic market or legacy unit generation. Current replacement modules are designed to be compatible with both newer and older Window Maker® systems.
The primary difference between available modules is the size of the detection window they create, not the voltage configuration.
Current Window Maker™ Unit Information
The current Window Maker® system is manufactured in a:
- 110/120V configuration
- Intended for use in the United States and Canada
Current Window Maker Catalog Number: 07200-S
Replacement Heating Modules
Available replacement modules include:
These modules vary in the size of the burn window produced but are designed to function with compatible Window Maker® units.
Compatibility with Older Window Maker™ Systems
Laboratories that own older or discontinued Window Maker® systems may continue to use current replacement heating modules.
This allows users to:
- Maintain older equipment
- Continue creating CE capillary detection windows
- Replace worn modules without replacing the entire unit
- Standardize on currently available replacement parts
Choosing the Correct Heating Module
When selecting a replacement module, users should base their choice on:
- Desired window length
- CE capillary application requirements
- Existing Window Maker® configuration
The module selection affects the burn-window size rather than system voltage.
Key Takeaways
- Current Window Maker® systems are supplied in a 110/120V configuration.
- Replacement heating modules differ by burn-window size.
- Current modules are compatible with both new and older Window Maker® units.
- Existing users can continue supporting legacy Window Maker® systems with currently available replacement modules.
