Earlier versions of the Selectatec Series Mounted Manifold that provide
mounting positions for three vaporizers require that if only two vaporizers

Later versions of the Selectatec Series Mounted Manifold that provide mounting
positions for three vaporizers incorporate an additional interlock that helps ensure
that only one vaporizer at a time can be turned ON even if the center position is not
occupied.
A vaporizer identification label is affixed to the back panel of the vaporizer as
