Milli-Q® Reference System 21
Alarms generated during installation
Overview
During the installation of a System, certain Alarm messages are generated.
This occurs because:
• there is air in the:
− tubings,
− Q-Gard® Pack and
− Quantum® Cartridge.
• the Q-Gard® Pack is not installed, and
• the Quantum® Cartridge is not installed.
These alarms are explained here. The ways to cancel them are explained also. For more
information about Alarm messages, see the chapter titled ‘Alarms’.
It is perfectly normal to see alarms during installation.
The System is designed to use various sensors to alert you of problems during normal
operation of the system. This insures optimal water quality.
During installation, these sensors are active. As a result, it is possible to have alarms
generated. In order to advance during the installation, these alarms should be cancelled
for a limited time.
