1 INTRODUCTION
This manual describes in detail about system performance characteristics,
installation, operation, and routine maintenance. Please read this manual
thoroughly for its instruction on installation, use and maintenance. Proper
installation and maintenance guarantee the continuous flow of high quality pure
water.
Please contact us or your local distributor if you encounter any issues during
installation and use. Professional engineers are fully trained to support you.
Safety Information
WARNING!
To avoid electrical shock, always:
1) Use with a properly grounded electrical outlet of correct voltage and current
handling capacity.
2) Replace fuses with those of the same type and rating.
3) Disconnect from the power supply prior to maintenance and service.
4) Refer servicing to qualified personnel.

1.1 Product Features
The Accu100 Ultrapure Water System produces ultrapure water from reverse
osmosis (RO), distillation or deionized water. Ultrapure water from the Accu100
system meets or exceeds quality standards of ASTM, CAP, CLSI and ISO Type
I water standards.
The system has the following characteristics:
•Automatic system recirculation every hour to prevent bacteria from growing
inside the system
•Large-capacity purification cartridges contain uniquely formulated ion resin
and fine activated carbon to ensure long useful life and a low running cost
•A 0.2 µm final filter or an ultrafiltration filter (optional) removes any remaining
contaminants
•A dual UV lamp to kill bacteria and reduce organics to trace level
•Ultrapure water dispenser is integrated with a high-precision resistivity
sensor (conductivity cell constant 0.01cm
-1
).
•The color LCD on the dispenser displays water quality and other operation
parameters.
•Volumetric dispensing and calibration can be easily set up on the dispenser.
•Alarms when consumables reach the end of life
•Small compact footprint that occupies minimal space, and easy to move
around with an ergonomically designed handle
•CE marked and FCC certified

2.4 Installation
Attention
Water inlet/outlet is a quick connector type with a lock (collet). It comes
protected by a stopper. DO NOT attempt to pull the stopper out from the port
with force without unlocking the collet first as this will damage the quick
connector, rendering it useless.
Please follow the instruction below to remove the stoppers
Insert the tweezers to the gap between the stopper and the collet.
Pinch the tweezers and push it as the picture indicated to remove the stoppers.

by pressing the collet on the adapter
towards the system to pull out the
stopper.
2.4.1.2
1) Insert one end of the PE tubing into
the water inlet (Note: make sure to
insert the tubing all the way in for about
20 mm).
2) Gently pull the tubing outwards to
check if the connection is secure.
2.4.1.3
Connect the other end of the tubing to a
feed water tank; ensure the tubing inlet
is immersed to the bottom of the tank.
2.4.2 Connecting Power Cord
