Connecting cooling sources
Installing the cooling system
PerkinElmer offers a recirculating cooling system as an option for the
spectrometer system. This cooling system includes a pressure-sensitive safety
device that switches off the pump if the internal pressure in the circulatory system
increases to above a safe value (see 'Cooling the furnace' in the Graphite
Furnace User's Guide).
Connecting and disconnecting the water hoses
The inlet and outlet hoses are permanently attached to the cooling system. They
have automatic connectors which are marked with the direction of the water flow.
1. Place the cooling system in a convenient position on the floor underneath
the spectrometer. Do not place the cooling system on the same bench as the
spectrometer since vibrations can adversely influence the spectrometer.
Make sure that:
2. Pass the two hoses from the cooling system to the rear of the spectrometer.
Make sure they are not strained.
3. Push the hose connectors onto the correct fittings on the spectrometer as
shown on the following page.
The connectors are spring loaded. Push them straight onto the fittings until
they click into place.
Note: To disconnect the water hoses:
Carefully pull the knurled locking ring down slightly, to release the lock, and
pull the connector off the fitting on the spectrometer.
