3.3 Needle Board (CIIM00017)
This board conditions the thermistor signal associated with the thermostatation of the needle, the preamplification of the level detection signal and the Z home. It receives, from the needle unit, the thermostatation elements, the thermistor and the level signal detected by the needle itself.
The cables that join this board with the CIIM00026-01 board come from this needle.
