2 Safety Information
Please read the following safety information thoroughly and follow the
instructions exactly. This information is designed to ensure your safety and
will prevent damage to your Arium®Comfort system.
The device comes with a power supply with a built-in grounding
conductor.
Use only extension cords that meet all applicable standards and have a
built-in protective grounding conductor.
Disconnecting the grounding conductor is prohibited.
The onlyway to switch the device off completely is to unplug the power
cord. Install the device in such a way that it is easy to unplug the power
cord.
WARNING
Danger of electric shock!
To plug in your Arium®Comfort system, use a properly grounded
electrical outlet with a voltage of 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz.
Do not place your Arium®Comfort system on top of electrical
equipment. Routine maintenance of the Arium®Comfort 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®Comfort system in the vicinity of highly
flammable or combustible materials as it contains components that may
ignite such materials.
The Arium®Comfort 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.
To prevent the hazard of UV irradiation, never operate yourArium®
Comfort with the doors of the unit open.

Safety Information
Operating Instructions®Comfort I, Comfort II 7
NOTICE
Danger of irreversible damage to Arium®Comfort 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.
When installing a new UV lamp in yourArium®Comfort, do not touch the
bulb with your bare hands. Fingerprints can cause damage to the bulb.
Never connect peripheral devices to the device interfaces unless they
have been recommended by Sartorius. This will prevent damage to your
Arium®Comfort system.
Never unplug any cables from yourArium®Comfort when it is running as
this can cause malfunctions.
2.1 Intended Use
The Arium®Comfort system was designed for the sole purpose of creating
pure and ultrapure water for laboratory use. In order to ensure proper device
operation, you should only use the filer media and | or accessories listed in
this manual. Using the device for purposes other than that listed here is
considered improper use.
The Arium®Comfort system may only be operated by trained personnel.
Only operate yourArium®Comfort system with original accessories or
replacement parts. If you modify this water purification device inde-
pendently, the performance and operating safety 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, pre-treatment cartridges, softeners
and RO modules).

Product Description
Operating Instructions Arium®Comfort I, Comfort II 9
The Arium®Comfort systems from Sartorius combine the production of
pure and ultrapure water in a single system. Directly connect the systems
to the potable water and purify the water in two stages. In the first stage,
an Arium®Comfort I system produces Type 3 pure water (reverse osmosis
water), and in the second stage, ASTM Type 1 ultrapure water. In the first
stage, an Arium®Comfort II system features built-in EDI technology
(electrodeionization) and produces Type 2 ultrapure water. In the second
stage, the system is identical to an Arium®Comfort I and producesASTM
Type 1 ultrapure water. In the following, the first purification stage for both
Arium®Comfort systems will be referred to as pure water purification and
the second stage as ultrapure water purification.
Since the ultrapure water purification system achieves higher flow rates
than the pure water purification system, anArium®Bagtank must be
installed as a buffer storage between the two stages. The Arium®Bagtank is
described in a separate manual.
The figures on the next page show the flow diagram of an Arium®Comfort I
and II system. At the system inlet, a measuring cell measures the conduc-
tivity of the feed water (LFF). Next, the water is pumped by a membrane
pump through a prefilter cartridge and the RO modules (reverse osmosis
modules). Arium®Comfort systems can be optionally equipped 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 the system. While the first stage fills the tank, water drains out at
the outlet. The permeate flow contains the purified RO water. A conductivity
measuring cell (LFR) monitors the quality of the RO water.
An Arium®Comfort II system additionally contains a softener cartridge, EDI
module and a second conductivity measuring cell (LFA). This measuring
cell tests the quality of the EDI 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 Comfort I and | or
Comfort II is pumped into the Arium®Bagtank. There, the water can be
dispensed directly for further use in ported equipment (e.g. autoclaves) or
for manual dispensing (e.g. via an optionally supplied remote dispenser).
In the next step, another pump pumps the pretreated water (ultrapure
water) from the Arium®Bagtank into the ultrapure water purification system.
Here, the ultrapure water is further purified to ultrapure water by a UV
lamp and a cartridge filled with activated carbon and ion exchangers. A
measuring cell (LFP) measures the conductivity of the ultrapure water. The
TOC (total organic carbon) content is monitored by an optionally available
TOC monitor.
To guarantee ultrapure water of consistent and high quality, the ultrapure
water purification system is constructed like a circulation ring. If no water
is dispensed, the water circulates through the UVlamp and the cartridge.
The last purification step before dispensing is to run the water through a
final filter. Besides dispensing via the display screen, the Arium®Comfort
system also features the option of dispensing its ultrapure water through an
optionally available remote dispenser.

1 “Eco/Home”
Key
The Eco/Home key is used to activate the “Eco
mode”. In the Eco mode, the ultrapure water in your
Arium®Comfort system is recirculated every hour
for 15 minutes. The purpose of this is to guarantee
high water quality even during longer periods
of operation.
To access the Eco mode, press and hold the Eco/
Home key for 3 seconds. To exit an active Eco mode,
press the Eco key once more. The following picture
shows the active Eco mode.
Your Arium®Comfort system also features an automatic ECO mode.This
automatic ECO mode is activated by default and returns the system to the
Eco mode after the Eco time has elapsed. The Eco time starts after the last
entry into the system. It can be configured in the System menu (see Chapter
“8.3.4 ECO-Mode”, page 46).
Key Locking Function
The Arium®Comfort system has a key locking function. When the key
locking function is active, it is not possible to dispense water, not even with a
foot switch. All other functions (measurement, expiry of ECO time, print
interval, memory interval, and error and warning messages) continue to run
in the background.When the automatic ECO time has elapsed, the device
enters ECO mode and automatically removes the key lock so that the
device is once again ready for operation upon leaving ECO mode. If a
warning or an error appears while the key lock is activated, the device will
likewise automatically cancel the key lock and display the corresponding
message.
To activate the key lock, simultaneously press the Eco/Home key and the
“Dispense” Key (R). Use the same key combination to deactivate the key
locking function.
