3. Installation and Operating Instructions
Mount the Cooling Stage on to the SM2500 Microtome by clamping the block on
the underside of the stage into the Microtome Specimen Clamp. The wiring and
water tubes may exit from the front or rear of the Microtome. Attach the Male
connectors from the stage water tubes to two female fittings of the extension water
tubing and connect the other end to the laboratory tapwater supply.
Connect the Female connectors from the stage to the two remaining extension
tubes and place the open ends into the waste sink. Gently turn on the cold water
supply until the water is spurting out from the ends of the tubes approximately 3
inches before dropping into the sink when the tubes are held horizontal.
Place the BFS60MP Controller to the side of the Microtome and connect the large
black multi-pin connector on the stage to the mating female connector in the rear
of the controller. The connector is polarized and uses a twistloc ring to secure the
plug to the controller. Twist the ring in a clockwise direction to secure it.
Attach the blue thermocouple plug which breaks out from the wireform to the
mating socket to the right of the black connector labeled ‘feedback sensor’. Ensure
that the fan inlets on the front panel and outlet filters on the rear are not obstructed
during operation. A good airflow is important for the satisfactory operation of the
controller.
