TEMPERATURE SENSOR REPLACEMENT
Open the unit (see OPENING). Locate the heating tank. The temperature sensor screws
into the side of the heating tank. There are 2 wires connecting the sensor. One goes to a
solder lug, and the other is soldered to a black wire. Cut away both wires (the wires are
interchangeable). Use a coin (quarter) to unscrew the old sensor (DO NOT USE a
screwdriver. it may slip into and break the sensor).
Wrap the new sensor with 4 wraps of teflon tape and screw into the heat tank with a coin
(quarter). Solder the 2 wires where you cut the old wires. Close the unit and do TEMP
CALIBRATE (see SPECIAL FUNCTIONS) to match the sensor to the PC board.
SOLUTION LEVEL SETTING
Open the unit (see OPENING). Locate the 5 level sensors on the heat tank. The sensor
closest to the left corner is low level (4 oz -120 ml) followed by: 9 oz, 15 oz, 22 oz and 29
oz. Pour the proper amount of water (start with 4 oz then add 5 oz etc.) into the heat tank.
Hold the sensor where it passes over the tank wall with one hand and bend the end of
the sensor with the other hand so that the sensor just touches the water. Empty the heat
tank by closing the unit and running DRAIN (see SPECIAL FUNCTIONS).
SHIPPING the UNIT
Prepare the unit by running CLEAN LINES (see SPECIAL FUNCTIONS). Open the unit (see
OPENING) and wipe up any loose solutions. Tie down the 2 pumps (through the holes in
the base) with strong twine. Remove the magnetic stirrer (white pill) from inside the heat
chamber. Close the unit. Remove and keep stir bar, plug and power cord.
Place the unit in a plastic bag. Use as much packing (balled newspapers, bubble wrap
etc. <please do not use small styrofoam chunks>) as possible to cushion the unit from
the walls of the box.
