INSTALLATION
Milli-Q Synthesis/Synthesis A10 27
CONNECTING THE POWERCORD
Locate the Milli-Q Power Switch. It is located on the back of the system cabinet. It is located just above the
Feedwater Tubing connection.
Make sure your Milli-Q System Power Switch is in the ‘OFF’ position. The Power Switch is off when the ‘0’
position is selected.
Plug the Powercord into the Milli-Q. It plugs in next to the Power Switch.
Plug the other end of the Powercord into an appropriate source of electrical power (i.e. wall outlet).
4-3 INSTALLATION OF THE Q-GARD
Make sure the electrical power is off to the Milli-Q system.
The Q-Gard is installed on the Milli-Q front right side. Locate the white Q-Gard Pack Adapter Lid. Look
below the lid and locate the 2 yellow plastic inserts. Pull them out and remove them.
Remove the Q-Gard from its shipping box. Verify the Millipore Catalogue Number by looking at the sticker on
top of the Q-Gard. The sticker should be blue. Remove the plastic covers on the 2 ports of the Q-Gard Pack.
Look inside the ports to locate the black rubber O-rings. Make sure these are pushed in so they are firmly in
place.
Wet the Q-Gard O-rings with water. It is preferable to wet them with ultrapure water. DO NOT WET THE
O-RINGS WITH A LUBRICANT SUCH AS OIL OR SILICON GREASE.
Locate the small protruding piece of plastic near the bottom of the Q-Gard. Push this into the small hole in the
Milli-Q Cabinet. This will aid in holding the Q-Gard Pack upright.
Push the Q-Gard Pack onto the Pack Adapter. The Q-Gard Pack rubber O-rings will be making a water tight
seal. It is important that the Q-Gard is pushed in fully. The notch on the end of the metal rod on the
Pack Adapter should come through the hole on the Q-Gard Pack.
Locate the metal clip that is attached to the Pack Adapter with a piece of filament wire. Push the metal clip onto
the notch of the metal rod (see the step above). The top of the Metal clip should bend towards you. This will
allow you to easily remove it when the Q-Gard is replaced later.
The Q-Gard is now installed.
