2.0 SETTING UP THE
THERMAL MICROSCOPE
STAGE
Sections 2.1 to 2.5 describe setup of the TS-4 with a Pump and Tank Unit, PTU-3. If you are
using running water from a tap, please see section 2.8.
2.1
WATER PUMP AND TANK UNIT
Unscrew cap. Fill reservoir with five gallons of distilled water.
AC line cord should be connected to the SWITCHED OUTLET on the rear of the controller.
This ensures that the water is always flowing when the control unit is turned on.
Check water level periodically during operation to ensure that water level is within 3” of the lip
of the container.
Use only distilled water. This avoids discoloration of the tubing due to organic matter in
untreated water. Addition of a purification agent is recommended.
All water connections are automatically self-sealing, to prevent water spills when disconnected.
