I recently started working with a Shimadzu CTO 10-AC column oven but do not have the manual for it. It is showing an error "err lk.s" which I suspect is the leak sensor being open. Does anyone know where the leak sensor is located on this model and how it can be closed/fixed?

Thanks in advance.
It is just in front of the FAN and it reacts on vapour pressure. You can replace it but the new sensor needs to be calibrated again in some way. The best is to do this after contacting your local Shimadzu dealer.
Thank you Holledijk, apologies for my delayed response. I have contacted Shimadzu in the meantime and a new sensor is on its way.

Thanks again!
