Installing the Sample Probe Transfer Line
Without an ENC-500 enclosure
When installing the sample probe / probe transfer line without a CETAC ENC-500, tube keeper 1 is deployed as
normal and tube keeper 2 is deployed with a minimal gap.
1
Create the service loop.
2
Attach tube keeper 1 at the service loop / drive cable sheath interface as shown in Figure 1.
3
Attach tube keeper 2 about ¼ to ½ inch (5 – 10 mm) from tube keeper 1.
4
Connect the free end of the transfer line to channel 2 of the on-board peristaltic pump as shown in Figures
3 and 4.
Notes:
• The length of the transfer line should allow the tubing to float over the top of the sample without getting
caught in the sample tubes (see figure 5).
• Ensure the service loop does not kink when the probe is in the full up position (see Figure 1).
• Ensure the service loop is long enough that there is no tension on the transfer tubing when the probe is in
the full down position (see Figure 2).
• The tube keeper placement for the service loop can be tested by manually rotating the Z-drive rotor; see
the Z-Drive Assembly Quick Installation Guide.

With an ENC-500 enclosure
When installing the sample probe / probe transfer line with a CETAC ENC-500, tube keeper 1 is deployed as
normal and tube keeper two is also deployed in the normal position.
1
Create the service loop.
2
Attach tube keeper 1 at the service loop / drive cable sheath interface as shown in Figure 6.
3
Attach tube keeper 2 about 7-9 inches (17-23 cm) from tube keeper 1, as shown in Figure 6.
4
Connect the free end of the transfer line to the bulkhead feed through with the supplied PEEK nut and
Teflon® ferrule.
Notes:
• Ensure the service loop does not kink when the probe is in the full up position (see Figure 6).
• Ensure the service loop is long enough that there is no tension on the transfer tubing when the probe is in
the full down position (see Figure 2).
• The tube keeper placement for the service loop can be tested by manually rotating the Z-drive rotor; see
the Z-Drive Assembly Quick Installation Guide.
