SGSM
Connecting the Cell
NOTE: To minimize wear and tear of the bottom acoustic transducer, remove
it from the unit. It must remain paired with the top acoustic transducer.
1. Carefully place the cell into the heating jacket.
2. Align the cell as shown below.
3. Connect the water supply tube from the port on the test cell to the cabinet.
a. Screw the glands on the water supply tube, leaving two threads of
each fitting exposed. The longer end goes to the cabinet and the
shorter end goes to the cell.
b. Turn the cell in the heat jacket so the water supply tube is aligned
properly to the cell.
c.
Use a ⅝" wrench to tighten both glands completely.
4. Plug the thermocouple from the cell cap to the port on the cabinet leaving
the thermocouple gland slightly loose on the cell cap.
5. Turn the "WATER ON/FILL" switch to the on position until water comes
out of the thermocouple gland and ventilation port on the top cell cap.
6. Once the water comes out of the ventilation port, tighten the
thermocouple gland completely and turn the Water On/Fill switch to the
"OFF" position. This will ensure that all air has been purged from the cell.
7. Clean and dry the top cell cap and cabinet of excess water.
8. Carefully place the SGSM Drive Assembly on top of the test cell. Make sure
all the cables are connected properly. See page 11 for more information.
