INFORMATION
The reference beaker ALWAYS serves as a dyeing beaker. This ensures that all
beakers have the same volume, and begin the process at the same temperature,
and will result in accurate, repeatable dyeings.
Temperature Sensor Cable
The Bayonet PT-100 temperature sensor cable should remain connected to the
machine at all times. The only reason for removal is for defect, and it must be
replaced.
INFORMATION
The temperature sensor cable is plugged into the center of the drive shaft. It is
secured by a holding clamp. This prevents accidental disconnection of the
sensor from the plug.
The sensor should be connected to the reference beaker before installing the
beaker on the beaker wheel. It should be removed prior to removing the
reference beaker when the dyeing is completed.
