The pressure transducer should be bypassed when using bleach and other cleaning solutions. This procedure will help decrease corrosion and thus increase the life of the pressure transducer.

Materials Needed

• M6-to-M6 union (Part #: 344306)

Instructions

• The pressure transducer is located behind the KinExA 3200 logo on the front of the instrument (Figure 1).
• Disconnect the two black M6 nuts going into the pressure transducer block (Figure 2).
• Connect each of the M6 nuts to either side of the black M6-to-M6 union (Figure 3).
• After rinsing with bleach, make sure to run a few buffer rinses before reconnecting the two black M6 nuts to the pressure transducer block.
