The Model 410 was originally developed by Corning – some 35 plus years ago. It has earned an enviable reputation amongst those performing Flame Photometry – so much so it has been studied closely by several competitors looking for a quick route to the market for their “untried” products.
Whilst Sherwood had no real desire to change this industry standard, we reached the point where we had to undertake some substantial developments to enable us to continue to supply the M410.
The Main PCB had to be modernised as many of the original design components have become more difficult to source. That in turn led to our designing out the on-board transformer and to powering the new design via a universal switch mode power supply. We have also taken the opportunity to improve the accuracy of the linearisation facility and extended the linear range for those determining Sodium in units of mg/l (ppm).
The Model 410 Range will now consist of the Classic, Industrial and Scientific.
The M410 Classic is still supplied as standard with element specific filters for Na, K and Ca and 1000ppm (mg/l) Calibrators.
The New M410 Classic (41000009) differs from the original M410 Classic (47541200) as follows:
Powered via an external switch mode DC power supply supplied with universal plug adapters.
An additional front panel LED indicates an air supply is connected and at the required pressure
The Analogue output is now via a BNC connector.
The rear panel also now hosts: a 9 Pin D Serial port, USB A and USB B.
(Note: The New M410 Classic has No printer connectivity)
The M410 Classic’s firmware may be updated using a USB stick plugged into the USB A socket
The M410 Industrial is still supplied as standard with element specific filters for Na, K and Ca, 1000ppm (mg/l) Calibrators, digital interface, and Sodium linearisation function
The New M410 Industrial (41000209) differs from the M410 Industrial (47541201) as follows:
it is powered via an external switch mode DC power supply supplied with universal plug adapters. An additional front panel LED indicates an air supply is connected and at the required pressure. With the linearisation function switched on and the Sodium filter selected a Blue LED is illuminated
Na Linearisation is extended to 50 ppm (mg/l). Analogue output is now via a BNC connector.
Serial Printer output is now via a rear panel mounted conventional 9 pin D socket. A USB B socket allows connection to a PC for communication with an external laptop or desktop computer via a type A-B cable. This port can only be used as a virtual asynchronous serial link. Under the Windows operating system, serial ports are referred to as COM ports, e.g., COM4. This connection can be used by the BlueNotes application package to collect data and display results. The rear panel also hosts a USB A socket The M410 Industrial’s firmware may be updated using a USB stick plugged into the USB A socket
The New M410 Scientific replaces the 410 Clinical as we move away from use of the “Clinical” descriptor and all the implications that has in the Medical Device sector
The M410 Scientific is supplied as standard with element specific filters for Na, K and Li and a mixed mmol/l calibrator solution, digital interface, and Sodium linearisation function
The New M410 Scientific (41000309) differs from the original M410 Clinical (47541301) as follows:
it is powered via an external switch mode DC power supply supplied with universal plug adapters. An additional front panel LED indicates an air supply is connected and at the required pressure. With the linearisation function switched on and the Sodium filter selected a Green LED is illuminated
Na Linearisation is to 200 mmol/l (assumes presentation after dilution 1 part in 200).
Analogue output is now via a BNC connector.
Serial Printer output is now via a rear panel mounted conventional 9 pin D socket. A USB B socket allows connection to a PC for communication with an external laptop or desktop computer via a type A-B cable. This port can only be used as a virtual asynchronous serial link. Under the Windows operating system, serial ports are referred to as COM ports, e.g., COM4. This connection can be used by the BlueNotes application package to collect data and display results. The rear panel also hosts a USB A socket The M410 Scientific’s firmware may be updated using a USB stick plugged into the USB A socket
