3. Remove the top of the water bottle and empty out any water in the bottle. Keep the water
bottle available.
4. Remove the new resin bed from the packaging. The resin bed comes with a red plug
inserted into the port at the bottom of the bed; remove this plug and keep it available.
5. Open the Analyzer front panel by turning the two latches and swinging the panel door to
the left.
6. Locate the resin bed at the top left side of the Analyzer, just to the right of the reagent
enclosure. The resin bed sits slightly in front and to the left of the DI reservoir (refer to
Figure 35 on page 185 for positioning of the elements in the resin bed that are discussed
below).
7. Have a paper towel available to absorb water that may leak from the resin bed.
Immediately after performing the next step, you will need to insert the plug into the bottom
port on the resin bed to prevent additional water from leaking out.
8. Remove the DI water connector from the bottom of the resin bed as follows: rotate the
connector tubing until the small tab is no longer extending through the slot on the set
plate; then, pull the tubing out of the resin bed (do not remove the black clip from the
tubing). After you remove the tubing from the resin bed, hold the tubing so that the nozzle
faces up, to prevent water from leaking.
9. Insert the red plug into the port at the bottom of the old resin bed.
10. Place the water connector tubing into the water bottle.
11. Remove the rubber vent cover from the DI water reservoir. Let the water from the DI water
reservoir completely drain into the bottle. When water stops flowing, remove the tubing
from the water bottle and set it aside. Use the paper towels to dry any water that leaks out
of the water connector tubing.
12. Remove the existing resin bed by pressing down on the metal set plate and then pulling
the resin bed downward and away from the DI water reservoir. Safely discard the old resin
bed.
13. Remove the red cap from the top of the new resin bed.
14. Depress the metal set plate and insert the post at the top of the new resin bed up into the
DI water reservoir. When the resin bed is securely in place, release the set plate.
Warning
Dispose of the resin bed in accordance with federal, state, or local government
regulations.
