unit cannot keep the wicks wet. Fill the fill bottle with ultrapure, de-ionized
or distilled water only. DO NOT use tap water or filtered water.

connects to the drain bottle.

to exit the warm-up screen, press the Power Down button on the

Field Description
Prime Wicks Whenever wicks are replaced or the unit is fully
shut off for prolonged periods of time (> 1 day),
wicks need to be primed. Click “Prime Wicks”
and the instrument will go through a priming cycle
that injects water to all three wicks. Make sure the
fill and drain bottles are connected to the unit. Unit
will go through the prime cycle on its own.
Drain Wicks The instrument needs to be drained before
transporting it to a different location. Make sure
the drain bottle is connected and the fill bottle is
disconnected. Note that if the fill bottle is
connected, you will never be able to drain the
wicks. Unit will go through the drain cycle on its
own.
Enable Flow Turns the pump on or off. See information below
to purge the system.

of water used and notify you if the fill bottle is
getting empty.

“DrainWicks”. First, you must disconnect the water fill bottle from the unit
and keep the drain bottle connected to the device.

Powering the Unit Down
To power down the unit, press the “power” button on the front panel.
The unit can be powered down by pressing the “Turn Off” button. You do
not need to have the fill and drain bottles connected to the unit after it is
completely powered down.
The unit should always be drained of all water prior to shipping.
IMPORTANT
Remember to have the fill and drain bottles connected to the unit if you
want to leave the unit onbut want to keep the wicks wet. If the unit is
keeping the wicks wet and the drain bottle is not connected, the unit will
attempt to drain the water unsuccessfully causing the drain pump inside
the unit to run continuously. You will hear the drain pump clicking all the
time which means the drain pump is running but cannot drain the water
anywhere. Connect the drain bottle to avoid this problem.
