10.
With filter and pump securely in place, install the permeate tubing, making sure there is no
bending or kinking of the permeate tubing. Run extra tubing to the permeate vessel. Make
sure permeate pressure sensor (
PE-03
) is located between filter housing permeate port and
any valves prior to permeate collection.
11.
Locate the clamp-on retentate flowmeter (
FL-01
) on the filter stand. Install the retentate
tubing in the flowmeter and close the flowmeter clamp. Make sure there is 10 - 15 cm (4” -
6”) of straight run tubing on each side of the meter. The return tubing may need auxiliary
support to prevent kinking. Clamp the meter onto tubing. Note flow direction arrow on
meter should point in up direction.

Ferrite Bead installation
Polysulfone pressure sensors/transmitters are included as part of the sterile disposable ProConnex®
Flow Path (Module Bag Tubing (MBT)) that is shipped with your KrosFlo® KTF System.
Figure 2. Polysulfone pressure sensors example
A ferrite bead (P/N 3000541) is provided for each flow path pressure sensor to protect it against
possible electromagnetic interference (EMI). We recommend that you install the supplied ferrite
bead on each flow path pressure sensor cable to provide EMI protection for the pressure sensor.
WARNING
–
Do not plug in the system during Electrical Assembly
until instructed.
