Starting the Milli-Q after installation of Q-Gard and Quantum
cartridge
A 5 minute rinsing cycle "AIR PURGE" occurs automatically whenever new cartridges are installed in the
Milli-Q system. It is necessary to have the power on during the cartridge installation. Do not install the
Millipak 40 yet.
1. Open the feedwater inlet valve if there is one.
2. Press OPERATE/STANDBY to go from STANDBY to PRE-
OPERATE. The system will be waiting to begin the AIR PURGE
cycle.
3. Start the AIR PURGE by moving the point of use gun trigger
forward. Direct all water from the point of use to a drain.
4. At the end of 5 minutes the system will go into STANDBY
mode. Move the trigger back to close the point of use valve
(upright position).
5. If possible, leave the system in PRE-OPERATE mode overnight.
This helps to hydrate the ion exchange resin inside the car-
tridges.
6. In PRE-OPERATE mode, purge the Quantum cartridge of any
trapped air by pushing the end of a small screwdriver into the
small hole located on the blue door (figure 4, K).
Push the small screwdriver gently into the hole to purge out
the trapped air. Open the POU valve for a few seconds.
Repeat the previous action until all trapped air has been
purged.
Cleaning the A10 measurement cell
Whenever a Milli-Q system is configured as an A10 model, the system starts up by an automatic cleaning
of the A10 analysis cell after the 5-minute AIR PURGE cycle. This cleaning lasts for 1 hour.
Connection of a printer with the system's RS 232 interface
The Milli-Q system offers the possibility of sending information to a printer.
