AccuPyc II 1340 Appendix F
Nov 06 F-1
F. TEMPERATURE-CONTROLLED ACCUPYC
If you have a temperature-controlled AccuPyc, you must attach a circulating bath (not pro-
vided by Micromeritics). This appendix provides information on attaching the bath, but it does
not provide operating instructions for the bath (refer to the manufacturer’s operator’s manual
for operating instructions). Basic operating instructions are the same for the temperature-con-
trolled AccuPyc as for other AccuPycs.
Attaching a Circulating Bath
The rear panel of the temperature-controlled AccuPyc contains connections for a circulating
bath; all other connections are common to all AccuPycs.
1. Be sure the controlling unit is turned off.
2. Remove the plugs from the ports labeled with arrows; the left port is the “In” port and the
right one is the “Out” port.
3. Insert a hose fitting (provided in the accessory kit) into each connector.
4. Cut the piece of 4-ft. tubing (also included in the accessory kit) into two equal pieces; 2 ft
each.
5. Install the tubing on the In and Out connectors.
6. Install the other end of the Out tubing to the “Inlet” connection of the bath circulator.
7. Install the other end of the In tubing to the “Outlet” connection of the bath circulator.
8. Set the temperature using the appropriate controls on the bath circulator. Refer to the
manufacturer’s manual for operating instructions.
9. Return to the appropriate section in the operator’s manual to continue installation.
