Clamp Setup
1.
Remove clamp from shipping box.
2.
Place clamp on table top or other stable surface and remove nuts, washers, spacers and top
plate.
3.
Check base plate rubber feet. If any are loose, tighten screws with specified allen wrench.
4.
Check threaded rods; each should be seated snugly into base plate. If loose, place a 1/8” drive
pin into thru-hole on threaded rod and turn clockwise.

Filter Plate Installation
1.
The steps from "CLAMP SETUP" are complete.
2.
Remove Filter Plate Insert (FPI) and Isolation Plate from outer carton, if not already removed.
WARNING: Wear gloves to avoid contamination.
3.
Using scissors, carefully open the FPI bag and remove the FPI.
4.
Again using scissors, carefully open the Isolation Plate bag but do not remove the Isolation Plate
from its bag. The isolation plate is the last item loaded before the top plate. To avoid
contamination, leave it in its bag.
5.
Place the Filter Plate Insert between TSLDI-2BMC with the ports facing up, as shown. The label
information should be right-side-up. If not, flip the FPI over.
NOTE: It is recommended that all sanitary fitting connections are made prior to cassette
installation, and after the FPI is loaded in TSLDI-2BMC, as shown in Figure 6.1.
