Safety Information
2 Safety Information
Please read the following safety instructions thoroughly and follow the
instructions exactly. These instructions serve to instruct you on how to use
the Arium®Advance system properly and prevent damage.
WARNING
Danger of electric shock!
−To plug in yourArium®Advance system, use a properly grounded
electrical outlet with a voltage of 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz.
−Do not place your Arium®Advance system on top of electrical
equipment. Routine maintenance of theArium®Advance system may
involve water spillage.
−Remove the plug from the electrical outlet prior to replacing defective
fuses.
WARNING
Danger of injury from fire and explosion!
−Do not use yourArium®Advance system in the vicinity of highly
flammable or combustible materials as it contains components that may
ignite such materials.
−The Arium®Advance system is to be operated with water only. Sanitizing
and cleaning agents should only be used according to the instructions
given in this manual.
CAUTION
Danger of injury to eyes and skin!
−Avoid splashing cleaning agents on clothing, eyes or skin (wear
protective clothing).
−Make sure that all tubing connections are sealed tightly to avoid the
liquid cleaning agent leaking.
−Carefully follow the manufacturer’s safety instructions included on the
liquid cleaning agent containers and filter cartridges.
NOTICE
Danger of irreversible damage to Arium®Advance system components!
−Be sure to replace defective fuses with those of the same type and
rating.
−Make sure that the outlet tubing for the rinse water is directed to an
open drain.
−Protect against frost.
−Never connect peripheral devices to the device interfaces unless they
have been recommended by Sartorius. This will prevent damage to your
Arium®Advance system.
−Never unplug any cables from yourArium®Advance when it is running as
this can cause malfunctions.

Operating Instructions Arium®Advance RO|EDI 7
Safety Information
Intended Use
The Arium®Advance system was designed for the sole purpose of creating
ultrapure water for laboratory use. In order to ensure proper device
operation, you should only use the filter media and | or accessories listed in
this manual. Using the device for purposes other than that listed here is
considered improper use.
−The Arium®Advance system may only be operated by trained personnel.
−Only operate the Arium®Advance system with original accessories or
replacement parts. If you modify this water purification device
independently, the performance and proper functioning of the system
are no longer guaranteed. This can also endanger the safety of the
operator.
−If you encounter any problems with your system, please contact your
local Sartorius Service Center.
−Please take all pertinent precautions to prevent accidents and observe
the generally valid technical and occupational safety rules and
regulations.
−Only use materials recommended by Sartorius (e.g. connections, seals,
tools, spare parts, cleaning agents, pretreatment cartridges, softeners
and RO modules).

Pos. Description
1 Display and control panel
2 Door
The Arium®Advance systems from Sartorius are fed with potable water
and produce ultrapure water. The system is available in the versions RO and
EDI. An Arium®Advance RO system produces Type 3 pure water using
reverse osmosis treatment. In addition to reverse osmosis modules, an
Arium®Advance EDI system features built-in EDI technology
(electrodeionization) and produces ASTM Type 2 pure water.
The pure water produced by the Arium®Advance systems is stored in an
Arium®Bagtank. The Arium®Bagtank is described in a separate manual.
The figures on the next few pages show the flow diagram of an Arium®RO
and EDI system. At the system inlet, a measuring cell measures the conduc-
tivity of the feed water (LFF). A membrane pump subsequently pumps the
water through a pretreatment cartridge and the RO modules (reverse
osmosis). Arium®Advance RO systems can be optionally equipped with one
to three RO modules,Arium®Advance EDI systems with one or two RO
modules. Each RO module has two outlets: one for permeate and one for
concentrate flow. The concentrate flow is connected to the outlet (drain) of

Operating Instructions Arium®Advance RO|EDI 9
Product Description
the system. While the Arium®Advance system fills the tank, water drains out
at the outlet. The permeate flow contains the purified RO water. A conduc-
tivity measuring cell (LFR) monitors the quality of the RO water.
An Arium®Advance EDI system additionally contains a softener cartridge,
EDI module and a second conductivity measuring cell (LFA). This measuring
cell tests the quality of the EDI product water. For technical reasons, on
both the EDI module and the RO modules, some of the water is discarded
during purification. Next, the ultrapure water produced by the Advance RO
and | orAdvance EDI is pumped into the Arium®Bagtank. There, the water
can be dispensed directly for further use in ported equipment (e.g. auto-
claves) or for manual dispensing (e.g. via an optionally supplied remote
dispenser).

The Arium®Exchange interface enables communication with an Arium®
ultrapure water system. When such a cable is connected, the Arium®will
stop dispensing water if the fill level of the Arium®Bagtank (< 2 liter) falls
below the minimum.This is to prevent any malfunction of the Arium®
system.
When supplying anArium®from the Bagtank, we recommend using the
device communication with the enclosed cable via the Arium Exchange
interface.

The two connections made with the tubing bridge have no function on the
Arium®Advance. To avoid faults in the tubing, do not remove the tubing
bridge.
The connection for the rinse water tubing (drain) must be permanently
directed towards to drain via the rinse water tubing. During operation of the
Arium®Advance system, water may leak from here.
