Replacing the SD System
with a Sheath Bottle
1. Turn off the SD and disconnect the tubing from the Luminex 200
analyzer.
2. Turn the black regulator screw inside the center door of the
Luminex 200 one full turn counter-clockwise.

sure pressure is centered within the green tolerance range.

cap to release pressure.
7. Tighten sheath cap and prime the system once again.
8. Make sure that the sheath and air pressure values increase to the
normal level once again.
