6. Click Prime. During the prime cycle, use a screwdriver to adjust
the regulator counter-clockwise on the front of the Luminex SD
system. See Figure 14. Turn it until the sheath pressure is the
same as the sheath pressure you recorded in step 1. The system
should stabilize at this sheath pressure. The air pressure should
be the same as you recorded in step 1, within 0.1 psi. If the Prime
cycle ends before you have completed the adjustment, select
Prime again and continue to adjust the regulator.
7. Calibrate the system again. Observe the sheath pressure during
the calibration cycle. The pressure should be within 0.1 psi of the
pressure recorded in Step 1.
Do not reroute or lengthen the waste tubing after it has been installed
by a Luminex Certified Installer. If the waste tubing length is
extended or rerouted, the flow rate must be readjusted. The
maximum recommended waste tubing length is 12 feet, which is the
length of the tubing provided with the SD system. The waste tubing
may be shortened, if necessary.
