Heating Mantle

Use the cotton gloves provided in the accessory kit when handling heated surfaces. These cotton gloves are not intended to protect hands when heated surfaces are above 60 °C.

Heating mantle shown installed

The heating mantle plug installs behind the diversion ports on the front panel of the analyzer. If installing the heating mantle with a tube already installed, take extra precaution to ensure that the tube does not break while installing the heating mantle. These instructions install the heating mantle first.

1. Locate the wide tab on the heating mantle plug. This wide tab will be installed in the uppermost position when inserting it into the heating mantle port on the front panel of the analyzer.

2. Push the heating mantle plug firmly into the heating mantle port on the analyzer. When the plug is firmly seated, twist the outer collar of the plug firmly to the right until you feel and hear a snap. This ensures the cable is properly seated in the mantle port.
3. Lay the heating mantle aside until after the sorption trap, cold trap, or delay path is installed.
4. Place the heating mantle around the tube and slide the mantle up as far as it will go.
5. Secure the mantle in place with a mantle clip.

To remove the heating mantle connector, push the twist lock connector in, then turn left.
