READY Mode
– water quality
values
xThe READY Mode screen display is explained below.
xThis screen display shows the resistivity and temperature of the water filling
the Reservoir.
xThis water is further purified and is then dispensed from the Q-POD Unit.
The quality of the water from the Q-POD Unit is shown on the Q-POD
Display.
Diagram Explanation
In this example, the water filling the Reservoir
has:
xa resistivity of 12.5 M:.cm,
xis temperature compensated (TC),
xa temperature of 25.1°C, and
xthe Reservoir is 80% full.
NOTE:
When the Milli-Q System stops filling the
Reservoir, the last measurements of water quality
are continuously displayed. New measurements
are displayed once the Reservoir starts to be
refilled.
xIn this example, the Milli-Q System was
powered on but did not begin to fill the
Reservoir.
xIn this case, there are no water quality
measurements to display.
