well above the markings, but below the maximum (MAX) level. Reagent levels below the minimum
will cause protocols to either fail or use a sub-optimal reagent sequence.
Liquid Level Sensors

maximum (1), three-basket (3) and two-basket (2) retort fill levels
Each retort has three liquid level sensors to monitor fluid levels. The two lower sensors monitor the
two and three basket levels. The top, maximum, sensor responds to a fluid level of 5.3 liters. It
serves a safety function ensuring no more reagent is pumped into the retort if triggered.
The sensors may occasionally be affected by a buildup of condensation or deposited material. If
this occurs the software will direct you to wipe the appropriate sensor. Always ensure the sensors
are kept clean as part of regular retort cleaning (see Clean Retorts in 7.2 Daily Tasks).
