and fan cords pass through the left-hand opening (as viewed from the
rear) and that the control probe, over-temperature probe, and level
switch cords exit from the right opening (as viewed from the rear).
The back lip on the rear top cover fits into the slot on the top heater
housing. Line up the holes, insert screws, and tighten.

Inserting viscometer tubes/thermometers
The top cover of the CT-2000 contains seven apertures, 51 mm (2") in
diameter, for the insertion of viscometer tube holders. Two additional
holes are provided for insertion of thermometers.
Inserting viscometer tubes
Remove the viscometer tube cover(s) from the top of the bath and
carefully place the viscometer tube(s), with the proper holder attached,
into the bath through the aperture(s) in the top cover. The viscometer tube
should be inserted to a depth which ensures that the liquid under test and/
or any timing marks are a minimum of 6 mm (¼") below the top level of
the liquid.
