Transpector CPM Operating Manual

2.2.2  Attach Heat Guard

To decrease the risk of burns when the heating jacket is on, a heat guard is 
provided for the metal surfaces between the Transpector electronics box and the 
CPM manifold tee.

1

Loosen the single screw that attaches the calibration reference shipping 
bracket to remove the bracket. Replace the screw.

2

Attach heat guard between the Transpector electronics module and the 
mounting nut using the two screws provided.

3

Attach calibration reference standard bracket to the heat guard and secure the 
bracket to the heat guard with the provided screw.

Figure 2-2  Heat Guard and Calibration Reference Bracket

WARNING - High Temperature

Metal surfaces will be hot when heating jacket is on. 
Attach heat guard to avoid risk of burns from metal 
surfaces between Transpector electronics module and 
CPM manifold tee.
