Plugs
60 Plug
(or Test Plug)This plug acts as a virtual temperature probe at 60°C. This allows onsite checking of the instrument's calibration and can act as a diagnostic aid.
T Plug
(or Dummy Plug)When plugged into a 2 channel monitor, this plug simply disables the channel of the socket it is plugged into. The plug acts as a seal to prevent damage to the socket during the pasteuriser run. The two channel monitors will not allow a recording run to start unless a temperature probe or a T plug are in each socket.
The T Plug cannot be used with the RPU-120+, as it is only a single channel recorder.
K Plug
(or key plug)The K plug is used as a key to allow access to a monitor's settings such as language, units, PU parameters etc. Key plugs are universal and are not tied to any particular monitor.

The hinged frame is the standard frame supplied with Redpost RPU-352 and

Quick Change
The quick change facility is available for all of Redpost's frames. Whereas normally a bottle holder or can fitting is
screwed in place, the quick change facility offers a fast way to swap holders or fittings with a simple lever release.
Bottle Holder
The bottle holder secures the bottle into the frame as it passes through the pasteuriser. The inside is lined with a
gap filling material to keep the bottle upright. Several sizes are available depending on your bottle diameter.
To find the correct bottle holder size for your bottles you can now use our Probe Calculator to help you.
Sizes:
Bottle Holder #1: 44mm to 55mm
Bottle Holder #2: 55mm to 68mm
Bottle Holder #3: 68mm to 80mm
Bottle Holder #4: 80mm to 90mm
Bottle Holder #5: 90mm to 100mm
Sizes:
Bottle Holder #1: 44mm to 55mm
Bottle Holder #2: 55mm to 68mm
Bottle Holder #3: 68mm to 80mm
Bottle Holder #4: 80mm to 90mm
Bottle Holder #5: 90mm to 100mm
Can Fitting
The can fitting clamps the can onto the frame as it passes through the pasteuriser.
Threaded rods allow the clamp bar to be tightened onto the can with standard wing nuts,
or with special quicknuts. Quicknuts allow the nut to move freely through most of its length of travel,
only tightening when in contact with the clamp bar, this increasing the speed of installation and removal.
