Chapter 3—Setting Treatment Parameters
Setting the Acid/Bicarbonate Alert
The Acid/Bicarbonate Alert option sounds an alarm when the fluid level in either of the
concentrate jugs has been drained to 20 percent of its original amount. In addition to the
alarm, a warning message such as LOW ACID WARNING , LOW BIC WARNING , or LOW
ACETATE WARNING will appear in the status box. This alert aids the operator in
maintaining adequate amounts of concentrate in the containers during treatment. Be sure to
set the new volume in this screen whenever the concentrate containers are refilled.
Note: If the facility is
on a centralized acid
or bicarbonate supply
system, enter zero to
deactivate the alarm
for that concentrate.
