AFA ultraCUBE Installation and Setup 

 
Unpacking: 

 

Remove the CH05 from its box and remove the foam packaging. 

 

Remove the WCS 2.0 accessories and cardboard accessory tray from the WCS 2.0 
box. 

 

Pull the WCS 2.0 unit out of the box and remove side foam packaging. 

 
The WCS 2.0 box should contain the following items: 

 

This User’s Manual 

 

The WCS 2.0 unit 

 

12 volt “universal” input power supply module 

 

AC power line cord 

 

UV lamp (packaged separately in a cardboard tube to avoid shipping damage) 

 

Quartz tube for UV chamber (packaged separately to avoid shipping damage) 

 

One pair of laboratory gloves 

 

Water hoses to interconnect the CH05, WCS 2.0, and the Ultrasonicator 

 

 

The CH05 box should contain: 

 

The CH05 Chiller 

 

RS232 Interface cable for controlling the CH05 from the LE220-plus 

 

AC power line cord 

 

The ThermoCube document package, including the ThermoCube manual on CD. 

 

Setup: 

 

Refer to 

Appendix A

 of this manual to install the quartz tube and UV lamp into the 

WCS 2.0. 

 

 

Place the WCS 2.0 and the CH05 on the bench next to the Ultrasonicator.  They may 
be placed on either side, or on the floor to save bench space as long as the hoses 
reach from the front of the Ultrasonicator to the WCS 2.0. 

 

 

Connect the hoses between the WCS 2.0 and the CH05, using the two short hoses, 
as shown below. 

 

 

Connect the two longer hoses from the Ultrasonicator bath to the remaining ports on 
the WCS 2.0 

labeled “Water Tank”.  Either bath port can connect to either of the 

Water Tank WCS 2.0 ports.  Make certain that sufficient air flow is available for 
cooling the CH05.  

 
 

Note:

  Previous Covaris products used low pressure black neoprene hose.  Because the pump in 

the CH05 chiller can generate more pressure than the black hose can tolerate, the ultraCUBE 
comes with a white, high pressure hose.  Failure to use the correct hose can result in the hose 
failing and emptying the LE220-plus water bath.  See figure below to identify the correct hose 
type.
