Preface

Safety information Your water system should be operated according to the instructions in this manual. In particular, the hydraulic and electrical specifications should be followed and met. It is important to use this equipment as specified in this manual; using this equipment in a different manner may impair the safety precautions of the water system.

This ATTENTION symbol is used to refer to instructions in this manual that need to be done carefully. These symbols are used to indicate that proper safety equipment has to be used. Protective glasses and gloves must be worn. This UV RADIATION sticker is used to refer to a position on the water system Cabinet or inside of it where exposure to UV light is possible. This DANGER sticker is used to refer to a position on the water system Cabinet or inside of it that could be hazardous. This ELECTRICAL GROUND sticker is used to refer to a position on the water system Cabinet or inside where an electrical ground connection is made. This ELECTRICAL DANGER sticker is used to refer to a position on the water system Cabinet or inside where an electrical danger could exist. IMPORTANT! Your water system should be installed and operated in a clean and dry area. Please refer to the environment requirements page at the end of this manual. Your water system is not designed for domestic use. Powering off the water system for a long period of time can discharge the battery used by the time keeper: time and date can be lost. If the water system is shut off for a long period of time, use the lab closed mode or go through an installation procedure of the water system. Contact your Service Representative. Save the system’s history frequently – every 3 or 6 months.

Preface

Documentation usage The instruction manual found with your water purification system is important for a good usage and the maintenance in compliance with the manufacturer specifications.

Your water system is delivered with two documents, and these are:  A user manual which describes all specifications, operations and functions of the water

system.  A quick guide that describes quick access to maintenance and operating information.

It may be necessary for to reference these documents for maintenance or other procedures with the water system. It is recommended to store these documents in such way that they can be quickly located and where they will not be damaged. A plastic folder provided with the water system. Use this to safety store the documents. You can stick the side of the plastic folder on the side of the water system and place the documents in there if desired.

Millitrack® Software - option Millitrack Software is an embedded GUI (graphical user interface) developed with AJAX (Asynchronous JavaScript and XML) techniques that generate interactive web pages through a point-to-point computer or direct network connection using TCP/IP Ethernet protocol. Millitrack Software allows a lab user to download or view instantaneously quality data through their internet browser for rapid monitoring of his water purification system. Millitrack Software users have also real–time remote access to interactive web pages through standard TCP/IP network describing water purification system status, configuration, instant quality parameters, settings, identification and Dashboard. Key Benefits:  Native Web graphical user interface.  Real-time and remote Dashboard of water systems.  XML data format available for print or download to any spreadsheet database.  Compatible with any lab data management system such as LIMS, ELN, SDMS/ECM.

System

Operating principle and status The RiOs Essential is a water system designed to produce type III water. The Elix Essential is a water system designed to produce type II water. This water can be stored in a reservoir, if installed. As a summary, the Elix Essential purifies tap water using the Progard Pack and Reverse Osmosis followed by Electrical Deionization ("EDI"). There is no EDI in a RiOs Essential system. Understanding the terminology of operating status. TANK FILLING

The tank is being filled with EDI or RO water. A sensor starts and stops this mode.

FLUSH

A periodic flush of the RO portion of the system is done. This refreshes the water in this part of the system if they are not being used to produce water.

RINSING

A sensor has determined that the RO portion needs to rinse itself before sending water to the EDI device.

SANITIZATION

There are different types of sanitization that can be done. See the maintenance section in this document for more information.

CLEANING

An acid or base cleaning can be done. A packaged chemical is available for this type of cleaning. See the Ordering information section at the end of this document.
