Anybody know about repairing these things ? Anybody on here that works for Crypton or used to ?
I've got an old Crypton Motorscope 336 & 307 Emission Analyzer
The Analyzer has gone bonkers on it. Power the machine up and it sits at a HC and CO level that is normal, about 20 secs or so later the HC goes through the roof taking the CO with it.
Anybody help ?

Have a word with scrote, i sure he works with this kind of thing maybe not crypton tuners but might be worth a pm
I'll send him a pm, cheers m8
yeah I work with those type of things but SUN mainly and never Crypton.
If you can get a Crypton engineer he might be able to do something but old gas analysers like that are a nightmare and seldom economically repairable even if the parts are available which they probably aren't..
it's 99% likely the actual gas bench at fault which is the Scientific instrument type guts which analyses the individual gases....
my advice would be take the bench apart and clean the lenses as it's either dirt ingress or old age causing the problem, if it's dirt you may be lucky.
Cheers m8, any ideas what the bit looks like i need to clean ? Got to be connected to the pipe from the exhaust right ? Glass cylinder thing ?
take some photos and post up i can guide you a bit
ok m8, will do

Hmm
well the bit we need to look at is the long silver tube (gas chamber) in the 19th picture, that is where the gas passes though and different wavelengths of light are put through to see the absorption of different gases
there should be a IR source at one end (maybe that's a chopper wheel with diffrent colour windows in?- which also need to be cleaned gently) and a detector at the other end
that chamber should have glass windows at both ends which need checking for cleanliness/cleaning.....
but the chamber must be gastight when you have finished.....
if it still doesn't work after cleaning then dump it if you ask me...
keep us posted
ok m8, thanks for info, i'll let you know how i get on
Hi I am new to all this.
I have a Crypton 336 motorscope and I am wondering if anyone has an instruction book that I could borrow please. I also have the 307 gas analyzer but its completely dead, there is power to the transformer and out of the transformer but the display wont light up. Also where can I get the sample pipes from too?
Many thanks,
Rob Knights
Did you have any luck with the manual. I have acquired one of these with no information. A scanned copy would be great
Cheers
Brian
