Intended Usage

arium Systems

The Sartorius arium 611VF is a
water purification system designed
to provide pyrogen-free, low TOC
reagent grade water that exceeds
ASTM Type I and NCCLS Type I
standards. The system uses a
deionization process with mixed
bed resins and activated carbon
combined with UV oxidation, ultra­filtration and a 0.2-micron final
filter to produce laboratory reagent
grade water. The 611VF system is
capable of producing pyrogen-free
(< 0.001 EU/ml), low TOC (< 1 ppb)
water with a resistivity of up to

18.2 MegOhms + cm. Water
resistivity is continuously sensed
by a resistivity cell and displayed
on a digital display.

in 1-minute (flow rate) to calculate
your dispense time requirement.
For example, you have measured
a 1-liter volume in 1-minute.
Your measured flow rate is 1l/min.
If you need 10 liters to fill a
container, 10 l/1l per minute =
10 minutes dispense time.

Note

If you are using a filter with the
Timed Dispense feature, attach
the filter and rinse the filter for
5 minutes to drain before measur­ing the flow rate. Measure the flow
rate each time you change filters
or cartridges.

• Open the inlet water or reconnect
the arium System to the feed water
supply.

• Connect arium power cable and
switch on the main switch on the
left side of the housing (“I”).

• Perform a “long” UF Flush
(5 minutes) (for details see
UF Flush Section on page 17).

Note

1 or 2 additional short flush cycles
may be required to remove air from
the UF module.

Replacing the Final Filter

Replace the final filter whenever

the following conditions occur:
– Every 30 days
– The product water flow rate is

UV Bulb Replacement

The UV bulb consists of a quartz
glass tube with integrated mercury
bulb. The quartz glass tube and
the mercury bulb glass deteriorate
during exposure to UV radiation
and will eventually absorb the most
desirable wavelengths. If only the
mercury bulb is replaced, there is
no guarantee that the desired UV
radiation will pass the quartz sleeve
in the reaction chamber.

Warning!

Danger of personal injury!

– Depressurize the system prior

to opening front doors.

– Allow a defective UV bulb to cool

off before removing it.
Do not leave finger prints on
a new bulb.

– Ultraviolet radiation is harmful to

the eyes and skin. Do not attempt
to observe the lamp directly when
energized.

Caution

Danger of irreversibly damaging
UV bulb!
Do not touch the glass portion
of the lamp. It is recommended
that lint free gloves be worn when
handling the lamp.
The glass portion must be free
of fingerprints, perspiration, etc.
A single fingerprint will reduce
the effectiveness of the lamp.
Clean the lamp with isopropyl
alcohol and a lint free cloth.
