4. OPERATION

4.1 Night service/Operational day (screen 030)


Refer to Section 3.2 - Step 14 and 15.
Your MEDICA can be programmed to operate on specific days
between selected times. This is to optimize the efficiency of the unit
and to minimize rises in water temperature.

During the ‘sleep’ period the unit will display .

It is possible to override this mode by PRESSING .


During the ‘sleep’ period the unit will run in intermittent recirculation
(10 minutes every two hours) to maintain water purity around the
distribution loop.

Night service/Operational day screen


4.2 Continuous Recirculation (24/7) (screen 029)
Refer to Section 3.2 - Step 13.
If the unit is set to continuous recirculation, it will constantly re-
circulate the water and fill the reservoir as required.
It is recommended that the system only runs in continuous mode
when the demand for water is high (greater than 50% of the make up
flow)
During recirculation the water temperature will tend to increase
slowly.

accept new cartridge replacement date


9. START unit and allow to circulate until water quality is
achieved.

CAUTION! If operating the unit with two Medpure L1


purification packs installed, both packs
must be replaced at the same time. Failure
to do so will result in low water purity.

5.3 Replacing Ultra-Microfilter (LC109)


The Ultra-Microfilter (UMF) should be replaced in the
following circumstances:
 Fill the reservoir to 48.5 liters (Max. Fill),
 Power down system,

preservative to drain,
 Remove LC109 from MEDCIA Pro system,
 Install new LC109,
 Close valve#2 (Located on top side of LC109 – 6mm
shutoff valve connecting to reservoir),
Note: I you received a high loop pressure alarm, you
will then need to direct valve #2 (Marked as bypass
procedure) – 6 mm tubing from the LC109 to drain as
well.

Ultra-Microfilter
 Direct the loop feed out to drain by using a 10mm tube
or disconnect the loop return and direct to drain. (Make
Ultra-Microfilter position sure that the loop return is not connected to the
MEDICA Pro – the preservative will effect the
purification packs).

6.2 Sanitization chemical safety data

WARNING! ENSURE THAT YOU AND OTHER STAFF


WORKING ON THIS PRODUCT ARE FAMILIAR
WITH THE POTENTIAL DANGERS AND THAT
THE PROPER SAFETY EQUIPMENT IS
AVAILABLE. IF IN DOUBT CONTACT YOUR
LOCAL ELGA LABWATER REPRESENTATIVE.

CT3 SANITIZATION TABLET - SAFETY INFORMATION


General Description: White solid tablet, which rapidly
dissolves in water, used for
sanitization applications
Hazard Assessment: Contains sodium
dichloroisocyanurate dehydrate, and
is therefore toxic by inhalation,
ingestion and skin contact.
Properties: Soluble in water. pH 6.
Non-combustible.
Handling Precautions: Keep container tightly closed in dry
place. Wear protective clothing when
handling.
Spillage: If tablets are dry and
uncontaminated collect up and place
in heavy duty plastic bag. Do not
return to original container. Wash
away any residues with copious
amounts of water..
Toxicity: Serious risk of poisoning by
inhalation or ingestion. Irritating to
skin, eyes and respiratory system.
First Aid Eyes: Thoroughly wash out with clean
water for at least 15 minutes.
OBTAIN MEDICAL ATTENTION.
Inhalation: Remove from exposure, rest and
expose to fresh air. In severe cases,
obtain medical attention and treat for
acute chlorine poisoning.
Skin: Drench the skin with plenty of water.
Remove contaminated clothing and
wash before re-use.
In severe cases, obtain MEDICAL
ADVICE.
Mouth: Wash out the mouth thoroughly with
water and give large quantities of
milk to drink. Obtain MEDICAL
ADVICE.
Note: A comprehensive Data Sheet is available on request and is
supplied with each packet of tablets

7.3 Calculation for Medpure L1 Cartridge life


Calculate the maximum Medpure cartridge life under emergency
bypass processing and with your mains water conditions to maintain
a supply purity of 1MΩ.cm to the analyzer
The maximum life expectancy of the Medpure L1 cartridge in
emergency bypass mode while maintaining a supply purity of 1MΩ
at the analyzer, may be calculated as follows:
Single Pack
Time 120,000
between
= Conductivity x Water consumption of
pack
changes of mains analyzer (l/hr)
water
Example
Mains water conductivity = 605 µS/cm
Water consumption of analyzer = 20 l/hr

Time between pack changes = 120,000

605 x 20
Time between pack changes =9.9 hr
In the absence of information on mains water conductivity, assume a
pack life of 2 hr if the analyzer consumes 20 l/hr. If flows start to
decline this may be improved by changing the UMF.
The capacity will be somewhat less (typically 20 to 40% less) if a
water purity of 10 M.cm is needed.
