Figure 4.6 shows how the CPT ports are aligned with the ports in the Fluidics Head.
FIGURE 4.6 TIP INTERFACE PORT DETAIL
To install a CPT, first raise the Fluidics Head all the way up. The two ports on the top of the CPT are different sizes; the
larger port is the permeate port facing the rear of the instrument. The CPT can only be installed one way and should slide
easily up into the ports on the underside of the Fluidics Head. When the CPT is fully seated, you should feel it "click” into
place. You can also verify that that the CPT is fully seated by looking through the clear fluidics manifold.
The rubber O-rings in these ports should be occasionally lubricated with the Silicone lubricant (item HC08535-20),
provided
with the instrument,
to maintain a tight seal. With a gloved finger, rub a very thin layer of lubricant on both ports
of the
Maintenance Tip periodically (monthly) to ensure the O-rings remain flexible and leak free.
To remove the CPT, grasp it with your hand then use your thumb to press up on the underside of the Fluidics Head. The
"thumbs up" technique eliminates the need to hold the Fluidics Head with your free hand while you pull down on the CPT.
