1. Product Description
1.1 Introduction
Westlab’s Demineralising System Ion Exchanger supplies high-quality demineralised
water that, used as rinsing water, prevents the formation of striations or stains on
washed instruments.
Tap water ows under its own pressure into the non-pressurised cartridge and is
subjected to the free ow ion exchange through a mixed bed of long-life anion and
cation resins.
1.2 Intended Use
The mixed bed ion exchanger is a water treatment system for the purication of
drinking water to deionized water, especially for use for feeding small autoclaves and
battery systems, and for use of simple chemical laboratory applications. Additional
uses include the supply of steam irons and aquariums.
The water produced is not t for human consumption. This is not a medical device.
1.3 Features
• Analogue Conductivity Meter
• Pressureless Polyethylene Cartridge
• Filling of High-Quality Mixed Bed Resins
• Conforms to ASTM, CLSI, DIN EN 13060 & VDE 0510
• Manufactured In Germany
• Flow Rate of 50L/hr
• No Resin Leakage

3. Safety Precautions
Read the following safety precautions prior to using the Demineralising System Ion
Exchanger. Never use the unit in any manner not specied in this manual.
• Wear personal protective equipment during the operation of the unit.
• Always install the unit on a at, stable, and non-slippery surface.
• Always unplug the power adaptor before cleaning the unit.
• Never touch moving parts. Do not move the unit during operation.
• The unit is not to be operated in a hazardous, explosive, or ammable
environment and not to be used to mix explosive or highly reactive material.
Do not use the unit under water.
• Do not use the Demineralising System Ion Exchanger if it shows signs of electrical
of mechanical damage. If any damage is found, contact your supplier immediately.
• Ensure that the attachments are secured properly prior to operation.
• Do not use without appropriate training. Always follow the installation instructions.
The safety of the user cannot be guaranteed if the unit:

4. Maintenance & Cleaning
• If repairs are performed by unauthorised personnel, the product warranty may
become void.
• Use only cold drinking water up to maximum of 30°C.
• The deionised water that is produced is not suitable for human consumption.
• Only use the original raw water hose, as the ow restrictor integrated in it prevents
damage to the cartridge.
• Never insert a shut-off device in the cartridge outlet nor kink the outlet hose, as the
plastic cartridge could burst under the resulting pressure build up. Always ensure
free water ow.
• The use of this system in any other way than that described in these operating
instructions invalidates the guarantee.
• An earthing contact socket outlet is required for the elec¬trical connection.
• Under some circumstances, improper handling could result in the leakage of ion
exchange resin from an ion exchange cartridge. CAUTION: Danger of slipping on
leaked resin!
• Proceed as follows: As the resin material can cause slight irritation on contact with
skin and/or eyes, immediately turn off the raw water tap to stop further leakage.
On skin contact, immediately wash contacted skin areas with plenty of water. On
contact with eyes, remove contact lenses if his is possible without diculty, then
immediately and carefully wash eyes with plenty of water for about 10 minutes.
When irritation still occurs, seek medical advice immediately.
• Wear protective gloves to collect up the leaked resin, ll it into a clearly labelled plastic
container and return it to the manufacturer or the authorised specialist supplier.
5. Installation & Operation
1. Open the packaging and gently remove the demineraliser from the box.
2. Place the unit gently onto a rm and levelled surface.
3. Unpack every individual component.
ATTENTION: The manual should be kept with the device and all the packaging should
be kept in safe storage for at least two years for warranty purposes.
Do not place the demineraliser in an area that makes it dicult to operate the unit.

Installation
1. Draw the cartridge out from the bracket. Mount it near to the raw water tap using
the enclosed screws and dowels. Ensure that the mixed bed ion exchanger is
freely accessible.
CAUTION: Before starting step 1, ensure that there are no electrical wires or
water-carrying pipes in the vicinity of the drilling holes.
2. After mounting the bracket, use slight pressure to insert the cartridge with
attached conductivity meter in it.
3. Connect the raw water hose, free of kinks and coils, to the water tap and to the
R ¾” thread at the bottom of the cartridge.
CAUTION: The straight connector of the raw water hose contains the water
restrictor and must be connected to the water tap. The angled connector is to be
tted to the R 3/4” thread of the cartridge.
4. Fit the pure water hose to the hose nipple of the conductivity meter.
CAUTION: Ensure that the pure water hose is neither blocked in any way nor
kinked, as the plastic cartridge could then burst under the resulting build-up
of pressure.
5. Connect the power plug to the appropriate socket with earth contact: 115V/230V,
50/60 Hz.
6. Carefully open the water tap and watch for any leaks. Should there be leakage at
the union nut of the conductivity meter or at the hose connections, turn the water
tap off and tighten the union nut or hose connections by hand until the water
leak is stopped.
7. The system is now ready to produce demineralised water. Keep a watch on the
conductivity meter, as euent water is rst to be taken for use when the pointer of
the conductivity meter is in the green section or at a maxi¬mum of 20 μS/cm.
Changing the cartridge
The cartridge should be changed after rea¬ching the limit of conductivity, based on
the respective application. Replacement cartridges should be used within 12 months,
otherwise the quality of produced water is no longer guaranteed. Please note in this
regard the specied production date on the package.
1. Close the water tap and remove the electric plug from the socket, then disconnect
the raw water hose from the cartridge.
CAUTION: When opening, water may leak out of the cartridge. Make sure, that this
does not impair any other systems in the vicinity.
2. Remove the cartridge with conductivity meter from the bracket.
3. Unscrew the conductivity meter from the exhausted cartridge.
4. Fit the conductivity meter on the fresh cartridge and t the combination in the
bracket. Connect the raw water hose to the fresh cartridge. Only hand tighten the
hose nipple.
5. Plug in the power plug. The system is now ready for use again. Please note:
When no water ows through the cartridge, reionisation effects could cause
the conductivity meter to show incorrect values. Please do not use the water
produced until the ow of it through the measuring cell brings the conductivity
meter display to a correct value.
