S120: Installing Three S40 Cartridges in the S120 Housing
NOTICE
The configuration of Helicon S40 cartridges has been changed: the limited
by-pass seal (the “chevron”) has been moved to the inlet end. Please follow
these installation instructions carefully.
The S120 Cartridge Hardware Kit (Millipore Cat. No. 540710) is required for
installation of the cartridges. The kit may be reused. For replacement of individual
components, please see the parts list provided with the kit.
Please review the Safety and Environmental Compliance section, before
proceeding with the installation..
Preparing the Hardware
1. Snap O-rings into the grooves on the permeate plug and permeate connector,
if they are not already in place..
2. Slide a cartridge connector through the center hole of one of the anti-
telescoping devices (ATD’s), as shown in Figure 7. Snap O-rings into the
grooves on the cartridge connector.
3. Repeat step 2 with the second cartridge connector and another ATD. (The
third ATD will be used later.)
Preparing the Cartridges
NOTE: All O-rings and seals may be lubricated, as necessary, with pure
glycerin. Do not use silicone, petroleum jelly, or any other lubricant.
1. Remove three bagged cartridges from their individual shipping boxes.
2. Open the bags and remove the cartridges.
3. Inspect the white silicone chevron (limited by-pass) seal for nicks or cuts.
NOTE: If a seal is damaged, do not use the cartridge. A defective new
cartridge may be returned to Millipore for replacement.
4. Identify the outlet end of a cartridge, opposite the white silicone seal. Orient
the cartridge with the outlet end uppermost.
5. With the circular groove in the previously attached ATD facing down, insert a
cartridge connector into the permeate tube of the cartridge, at the outlet end.
For proper seating inside the permeate tube, twist the connector slowly,
while gently pushing downward.
6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 with a second cartridge.
