To ensure optimal location prior to measurements being performed, a lock motor secures
the cell into a defined position when the cell is inserted into the sample area.
To remove the cell:
1. Press the unlock button on the cell handle.
2. This will release the lock motor and raise the cell slightly ready to be withdrawn
from the optical unit.
Drip tray
Any overspills will be captured within the drip tray and drained through a drain port at
the front of the cell and optical unit. If any liquid is noticed in the drip tray, remove the
cell and tip the contents away. Locate and fix any leaks.
To cell / from cell connections
The sample from the dispersion unit is circulated through the cell via the to cell and
from cell connections and connected sample pipe.
To cell connection
The to cell connections on the dispersion unit and wet cell have yellow identifier marks.
The bottom connection on the dispersion unit connects to the sample 'out' pipe. This is
where the sample flows out of the dispersion unit in to the bottom to cell connection of
the wet cell (yellow collar) in the optical unit.
It is important that the sample flows up through the cell so that any bubbles in the flow
path can escape.
From cell connection
The from cell' connections on the dispersion unit and wet cell have blue identifier mark-
ings.
The top connection on the dispersion unit connects to the sample 'in' pipe. This is where
the sample returns in to the dispersion unit from the top ‘from cell' connection of the wet
cell (blue collar) in the optical unit.
