3. Mounting the Refrigeration Module to yourVT1000 Sectioning System
Remove the black refrigeration bath from its packaging. Remove the cutting head from
the microtome or move it out of the way so that it does not obstruct replacement of the
bath. Dismount the standard bath from the microtome by moving the locking lever at
the front of the bath to the left. Lift the bath straight up to separate it from the mounting
post. Mount the new refrigeration bath in its place and lock into the post by moving the
locking lever at the front of the bath to the right.
4. Connecting the Controller to a water supply or Closed Loop System
Unpack your BFS-30VT Controller and connect the electrical lead from the refrigera-
tion module to the mating socket on the rear of the controller. Rotate the collar on the
connector housing in a clockwise direction to lock in place.
If you purchased the PTU-3 Closed Loop Water System or the ECV-1 Electrically
Operated Solenoid Valve with your system see the separate instructions below for
installation.
Locate the 5-foot extension water tubes and connect the self-sealing connector female
ends of these tubes to the male connectors on the water tubes from the refrigeration
module. Connect the end of the tube with the universal tubing adapter to your sink
water supply using any suitable water tube with a diameter of up to ½ inch. (A 5/8 inch
adapter is available upon request ). Place the open tubing end from the remaining
tube into the sink or waste drain.
