Setting up the Water Circulation 

Pump

 

 

If you have purchased a Water Circulation Pump 

with your system, read the following to set up the

 

pump with the LTS420 stage.  Refer to the Water 

Circulation Pump

 

User Guide for more details.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

When  heating  the  stage  above  300°C  for  more 

than  a  couple  of  minutes,  the  metal  body  of  the 

stage  can  get  quite  hot.  The  Water  Circulation 

Pump

 

is used  to cool  the metal  casing.   Connect 

the tubing as shown in the picture opposite.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note: 

If  you  have  an  LNP96  Liquid  Nitrogen 

Pump,  the  tubing  from  the  Dewar  must  not  be 

connected  to  the  LTS420  stage  when  heating 

above  300°C.    The thin  black  capillary  tube  will 

melt inside the heater and damage it.
