Introduction
Read this manual, especially the standard operation procedure and Safety instructions , before using the
instrument.
1.1 - About this manual
This manual describes all necessary procedures and information required for the correct and successful use
of the RPI, covering normal operation, user maintenance and troubleshooting. When instrument is
mentioned, it is used for the complete instrument, the RPI including the AFS-24 unit.
This manual is applicable for the following RPI-models and concentrated reagents:
A0021587 RPI-ECO21 (120V), for DxH Concentrated ECO Diluent C67249 (Beckman-Coulter).
A0021595 RPI-ECO21 (230V), for DxH Concentrated ECO Diluent C67249 (Beckman-Coulter).
This manual does not describe specific service related issues, such as detailed technical information and
repair procedures.
The manual found with your RPI is important for proper usage and maintenance in compliance with the
manufacturer specifications.
Your RPI is delivered with these documents:
An " Instruction for Use " which describes all specifications, operations, user functions and user maintenance
of the RPI.
A " User manual AFS® 8, 16, 24 " which describes all specifications, operations, user functions and user
maintenance of the AFS-24 (WPU).
It may be necessary to reference these documents for maintenance or other procedures with the RPI. It is
recommended to store these documents in such way that they can be quickly located and where they will
not be damaged.
Updates of this manual and RPI software will be published on our website, distributors will be informed
about updates. Electronic versions of this manual and versions in available languages and future revisions
are available on:

1.2 - Used symbols
This ATTENTION symbol is used to refer to instructions in this manual that need to
be done carefully.
Introduction
8MRN-184-EN Version 6 (05-01-2022)

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 or inside the water
system cabinet where exposure to UV light is possible
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 DANGER sticker is used to refer to a position on the water system Cabinet or
inside of it that could be hazardous.
This symbol indicates useful information, not related to any specific danger.
1.3 - Installation
The instrument must be installed in a dry and dust-free location on a solid and stable surface.
Do not expose the instrument to excessive temperature fluctuation and direct sunlight.
Avoid shocks and vibrations. Ensure good ventilation and do not place the instrument directly in contact with
other equipment.
Leave >1m space in front of the instrument to be able to move the instrument forwards to perform
maintenance activities at the back side.
Avoid installation near devices causing interference e.g. radios, centrifuges, etc. Installation of the
instrument in places where chemicals are stored or gas develops is not permitted.

1.4 - Disclaimer
Operate and maintain this instrument according to this manual and other instructions from the manufacturer.
Failures and defects as result of unspecified use will void the product warranty. Changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the
equipment.
The instrument is not equipped with backup- or control systems to prevent production of incorrect reagent
due to conditions such as:
▪ Uncalibrated measuring circuitry
▪ Instrument malfunction
▪ Poor quality of concentrated reagent
▪ Poor quality of feed water
The RPI (including WPU) is designed to stay connected to the main power supply and water
supply at all times.
The quality of RPI’s production has to be checked daily for use on the connected analyzers
according local quality specifications.
Do not disconnect the RPI(s) prior to completion of the shut-down cycle.
The manufacturer disclaims any liability for any direct, indirect, incidental, special or
consequential damages of any kind, arising from the use of incorrect prepared reagent.
Note:
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class A digital device,
pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference when the equipment is operated in a commercial environment. This
equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in
accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in which case
the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
