Port Inserts

Special port plate inserts with various-sized openings are available for use with samples of differing
sizes. Some inserts are also available with glass covers to protect the inside of the instrument from
sample and airborne particles.
To install a port insert,
1. Remove the standard port insert by twisting it until it pops up. Replace it with the desired port
insert. Make sure that the flat portion of the insert is facing outward with the magnetized portion
toward the interior of the sensor. The white line should face the front of the sensor.
