The system will prompt you to change the SmartPak using a red 
Pack Alarm icon. The Display will show the red Pack Alarm 
blinking. The SmartPak is changed due to either the amount of time 
it has been used or from the amount of water that has passed 
through it. 

 

When the Resistivity display is blinking, the red Pack Alarm will 
also be blinking. This indicates that the SmartPak should be 
replaced. This message is shown when the Product resistivity is less 
than the Resistivity Setpoint. The Resistivity Setpoint can be seen 
in menu option C02 

 

When the red Pack Alarm is displayed as a steady icon, the 
SmartPak is not installed correctly or not installed at all. If the 
SmartPak has been reinstalled and the Alarm is still displayed, then 
contact Millipore.

The system will prompt you to change the UV Lamp using a 
red UV Lamp Alarm icon. The Display will show the red UV 
Lamp Alarm blinking. The message is shown when the UV 
Timer displays 0 days. The UV Timer can be viewed in 
menu option C05. The replacement of the UV Lamp involves 
the installation of a new UV Lamp and a manual reset of the 
UV Timer. 

 

When the red UV Lamp Alarm is displayed as a steady icon, 
the UV Lamp is not installed correctly or not installed at all. 
If the UV Lamp has been reinstalled and the Alarm is still 
displayed, then contact Millipore.
