Section 1 Safety Information
Your Thermo Scientific Reverse Osmosis (RO) System has been designed
with function, reliability, and safety in mind. It is the user’s responsibility
to install it in conformance with local electrical codes. This manual
contains important operating and safety information. The user must
carefully read and understand the contents of this manual prior to the use
of this equipment. For safe operation, pay attention to Notes, Cautions,
and Warnings throughout the manual.
Water purification technology employs one or more of the following:
chemicals, electrical devices, mercury vapor lamps, steam and heated
vessels. Care should be taken when installing, operating or servicing
Thermo Scientific products. The specific safety notes pertinient to this
product are listed below.
Warnings
To avoid electrical shock, always:
1. Use a properly grounded electrical outlet of correct voltage and current
handling capacity.
2. Do not mount your Thermo Scientific Reverse Osmosis System
directly over equipment that requires electrical service. Routine
maintenance of this unit may involve water spillage and subsequent

manufacturer, protection provided by the equipment may be
impaired.

Reverse Osmosis System 2-1Thermo Scientific
Section 2 Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase of a Thermo Scientific RO System. This
unit is designed to provide reverse osmosis water for your lab or ultrapure
water system. It uses a thin film composite membrane combined with
three stages of pretreatment to produce reverse osmosis water.
Careful attention to the following instructions will assure that the system
operates properly and produces water to specifications. Also, be sure to fill
out and return the enclosed warranty registration card. We would like to
receive the information requested, and it will help us assure you of proper
warranty coverage.
Each unit requires a separate storage reservoir for automatic operation.
Please make sure you have an adequate storage reservoir before installing
your RO system.

4-2 Reverse Osmosis System Thermo Scientific
Section 4
Unpacking and Installation
Choosing a Site The RO system features an optional remotable control panel display which
allows the system to be mounted almost anywhere within the laboratory
using accessory kit AY1265X1. Your RO system must be located within six
feet of an electrical outlet appropriate for your unit, within ten feet of your
feed water supply and within six feet of an atmospherically vented drain. If
you are using the accessory 30 Liter Storage Reservoir (part number
D12681), the reservoir must not be mounted farther than ten feet away
from the RO system.
Use the wall bracket for wall mounted systems as a template to drill
mounting holes. (The RO system does not include screws and fasteners for
mounting.) Allow a minimum of 22.9 cm (9”) clearance on all sides of the
unit for servicing, 7.6 cm (3”) on top for top cover removal and 12.1 cm
(4.75” ) in front for opening the door.
Caution Wall composition, condition and construction, as well as fastener
type, must be considered when mounting this unit. The mounting surface
and fasteners selected must be capable of supporting a minimum of 68 kg
(150 lbs.) Inadequate support and/or fasteners may result in damage to
mounting surface and/or equipment. If you are unsure of mounting surface
composition, condition and construction or correct fasteners, consult your
building maintenance group or contractor. s
Warning Do not locate the Thermo Scientific RO system directly over
equipment that requires electrical service. Routine maintenance of this unit
may involve water spillage and subsequent electrical shock hazard if
improperly located.
Do not use in the presence of flammable or combustible materials; fire or
explosion may result. The device contains components which may ignite
such materials. s
Note It is important that the storage reservoir outlet to any ultrapure
system such as the Nanopure, be at the same level or higher than the inlet
of the Ultrapure system. s
The Thermo Scientific RO utilizes two different types of fittings. Please
refer to the installation sections when necessary.

Section 4
Unpacking and Installation
These instructions will be needed when making connections at the inlet
water supply, atmospheric drain and at a storage reservoir.
1. Completely disassemble the fitting. Refer to Figure 2 to familiarize
yourself with the names of the component parts.
2. Make sure the tubing is cut off reasonably square and that no plastic
burrs or ridges are present.
3. Place the grab ring and backup ring in the hex nut in the order and
orientation shown in Figure 4-1. Thread the nut into the adapter. DO
NOT use the o-ring at this time.
4. Push the tubing through the nut until it bottoms out on the adapter.
5. Remove the adapter nut and tubing. Place the o-ring over the tubing.
Be careful not to push the backup ring or grab ring further back on the
tubing when installing the o-ring.
6. Install the hex nut on the adapter and hand-tighten.
The following instructions will apply to push to connect type fittings when
you need to install the membranes and to attach a piece of tubing to your
RO system during installation, unless otherwise noted in the installation
instructions.
To make tubing connections:
1. Make sure the tubing is cut off reasonably square and that no plastic
burrs or ridges are present.

2. *Mark the length of insertion from end of tube.
3. Wet the tube end with water and insert tube straight into fitting until
it bottoms out on interior shoulder and insertion mark is no longer
visible.
1. Using the tool provided, push the collet toward the body and pull on
the tubing to release the tube.
Note Figure 3 & 4 will be used at the membrane, as well as connections at
product water outlet (to storage) and reject water (atmospheric drain). s

These fittings are found on the prefilter, carbon and MPS cartridge, as well
as the water inlet. See Figure 4-4.
To insert the cartridges or inlet tubing:
1. Press on the metal thumbpad on the unit to ensure the fitting is open.
2. Insert male adapter into fitting until you hear a click. Gently pull on
the cartridge or tubing to ensure it is secure.
3. To remove cartridges or tubing, press the metal thumbpad to release
fitting and pull adapter out.
1. Place RO system on a bench top that is accessible to water,
atmospheric drain and electricity, and is convenient to your work area,
noting clearance requirements.
Install the RO system on a wall in a convenient location that is accessible
to water, atmospheric drain and electricity.
Caution Wall composition, condition and construction, as well as fastener
type, must be considered when mounting this unit. The mounting surface
and fasteners selected must be capable of supporting a minimum of 68 kg
(150 lbs.) Inadequate support and/or fasteners may result in damage to
mounting surface and/or equipment. If you are unsure of mounting
surface composition, condition and construction or correct fasteners,
consult your building maintenance group or contractor. s
