4.5 Anti-reflection clip – Function

The anti-reflection clip (Order no. 14 0476 44135) prevents any reflections that might otherwise be

emitted from the specimen basket (3, order no. 14 0476 34193) and that could affect the level sensor in

the retort, thus causing malfunctions.

Installing the clip

Changing the clip
• Once the clip is installed, the handle (4) of the speci-

men basket cannot be removed, as otherwise the

clip will be bent.

• To remove or replace a clip, all parts that are inside

the basket (e.g. spiral insert and separating walls)

must be removed from the basket.

• Then, insert a suitable tool (screwdriver 5,

Fig. 11

)

and pry the clip out from the inside.

4. Initial Operation

The anti-reflection clips are intended for in-

stallation on the specimen basket to prevent

reflections of the level sensor.

When inserting or removing the metal bas-

kets into/from the retort, always do so care-

fully so that they do not touch or become

caught on the retort wall.

Once bent, clips may no longer be used and

must be disposed of. In this case, install a

new clip from the standard scope of delivery.
