Pre-Operation
Set-Up
Two distinct systems must be filled with distilled (or deionized) water
before operating; the radiator assembly, located within the LI-610 case,
and the condenser block assembly, located externally.
Filling the Radiator
To fill the radiator assembly, remove the black radiator fill cap on the top
of the LI-610 instrument case (Figure 2-1). The cap is not threaded, and
can be pulled straight up.
•
Use the plastic squeeze bottle included with the LI-610 to add distilled
or deionized water to the radiator reservoir, until the water level is
visible in the fill tube.
•
Connect the LI-610 to your power source (AC or battery).
•
Turn the power switch ON. Turn the
COOLER
switch ON moment-
arily to flow water through the water pump and radiator assemblies.
Shut the LI-610 off and continue to fill the reservoir in this manner
until the water level remains visible in the fill tube. The radiator
assembly requires approximately 200 ml of water to completely fill to
this level.

TO PREVENT PERSONAL INJURY, DISCONNECT THE LI-610
FROM AC POWER WHEN FILLING THE RADIATOR
ASSEMBLY.
At this time, add 15-20 drops (2 ml) of algicide (included with the
LI-610) to the radiator reservoir. Replace the radiator fill cap.
If you plan to store the LI-610 in freezing conditions, drain the radiator
and condenser block assemblies completely. To operate the LI-610 in
freezing conditions, fill the radiator assembly (not the condenser) with a
mixture of ethylene glycol (one formulation of which is commonly called
