6. Install the vessels in the turntable. Place the ESP Plus into the center of the turntable with the pressure
line attached to the control vessel. Select the turntable icon at the top of the screen to rotate the turntable
for ease of vessel position. If all positions of the turntable are not utilized, arrange the vessels
symmetrically. (Refer to the MARS 6 User Guidelines (600288) for assistance with a microwave digestion
method development.
WARNING
All CEM microwave digestion instruments are to be operated using CEM designed vessels and vessel
components. All CEM supplied vessels and components are manufactured to exact specifications in
order to provide a product that is reliable and safe to work in conditions that include high
temperatures and pressures. The use of vessels and vessel components other than original CEM
parts will put operators and equipment at risk. CEM will not assume any liability for use of these
parts and all warranties, either written or implied, will immediately become void. CEM vessels can
only be purchased direct from CEM or through its authorized dealer network. CEM vessels are
covered by worldwide patents including US patents 8,480,981 and 6,136,276.
7. If the vessel set has a retaining ring, place the vessel retaining ring on the vessels with the notch of the
retaining ring resting on the control vessel.
8. Align the ESP-1500 Plus with the connector port. Rotate the ESP while gently pushing it into the connector port
until it slips into the correct position. This rotation is to align the ESP-1500 Plus and the connector port. Once the
connector is properly aligned, push the ESP into the connector port until the polypropylene guard is fully seated
against the connector port.
CAUTION
During installation of the ESP-1500 Plus, use caution to prevent loosening the pressure line nut which
can cause leakage, leading to corrosion of the connections on the sensor and the bulkhead fitting.
Ensure that the pressure line of the ESP-1500 Plus does not become entangled in the MTS-300
temperature controller.
9. Without crossing over the pressure tubing, snap the MTS-300 into the connector located in the center of the roof
of the cavity.
10. Position the pressure tubing in the guide ring mounted on the roof of the cavity.
