Install the collect concentration monitor (CCM)
cuvette as follows:
a Pull the housing out and turn it counterclockwise to lock it

c Turn the housing clockwise and gently lower it over the cuvette
to lock it into position.
Tip: Use a flossing action when possible to press tubing
into valves, sensors, and fittings. Ensure the lines are
inserted as far back into the fitting as possible.
Note: DO NOT touch the cuvette. Fingerprints can cause
inaccurate CCM readings and inconsistent spillover
detection.
Note: AutoPBSC procedures The cuvette slides freely
on the collect line.
