Pre Installation Unpacking the Synergy R System − What’s Inside? Open the Synergy R System Shipping Box. Use the checklist included in the Accessories Bag to make sure all items were shipped and are accounted for. It is highly suggested to become familiar with the items that are shipped since these will be used in the Installation section of this manual.
Installation Connection of Tubing • Rotate the Synergy R system so you can see the back of the system (see photo A). Feedwater tubing Feedwater Tubing • Locate the Feedwater Tubing exiting from the bottom of the system (B). A 1/2 inch Female GAZ fitting with a screen filter is attached at the end of this tubing.

Installation Connection of the Ultrapure (Type 1) water Dispenser • Locate the Ultrapure (Type 1) water dispenser. The Ultrapure (Type 1) water dispenser and the water system come separately. • For system installed underbench pass the sleeve through the bench hole.
Page 17
Installation • Fix the hide panel cover with the screw. • Put the hide screw cover.
Installation Connection of the Power Cord − Turning on the System Power • Open the front cover of the system (A). This will allow the system to go into STANDBY mode once the system is powered. • Plug the Power Cord into the system (B). •...
Installation Installation of the SynergyPak cartridge HAZARD Do not touch the UV Lamp when replacing the SynergyPak. Installation • Make sure the front cover is opened. STANDBY should be viewed on the Display (A). • Remove the SynergyPak cartridge from its shipping box. •...
Page 20
Installation • Install the SynergyPak cartridge until it is fully seated into the system ports as shown (C, D). • CLOSE THE FRONT COVER.
Installation Installation of the Tygon® Tubing Do not use any white tape on the threads of the Barbed Fitting. An O-ring is ATTENTION located inside the POU Dispenser to ensure water tightness between the threads of the POU Dispenser and the Barbed Fitting. •...
Installation Purging Air from the System • At this time you should have installed the SynergyPak cartridge, Barbed Fitting and the Tygon Tubing. Air trapped in the SynergyPak cartridge should now be purged from the system. • Press the Dispensing Button once to put the system into DISPENSING mode (A).
Installation Installation and Rinsing of the Final Filter • Obtain a Final Filter. • Remove the Tygon Tubing and the Barbed Fitting from the POU Dispenser. • Screw the Final Filter onto the end of the POU Dispenser. The Final Filter should be turned until it is hand tight (A). Do not over tighten the Final Filter.
How to Calibrate the Flowrate from the Synergy R System (F02) Before calibrating the Product flowrate from the Synergy R system, you will need a 1 Litre graduated cylinder to measure the total volume of water that will be dispensed. The Final Filter should be installed.
Page 25
Installation Measure the total volume of water (in Litres) dispensed from the system using a 1 L graduated cylinder. Press the “+” or “-“ Button to match the volume Display to the volume measured. To exit the menu, press and hold the Main Button for 2 seconds.
Installation How to Show Resistivity or Conductivity Units (C01) With Temperature Compensated or non Temperature Compensated values Temperature compensation is a way of ‘standardizing’ Resistivity or Conductivity to measurements that would be seen if the water temperature was 25 °C. Press the Main and “+“...
Resistivity display will flash and the red Pack Alarm will be blinking (see ). The factory default resistivity value is set to 15 MΩ. cm @25 °C. Synergy R System messages Press the Main and “+“ Buttons together to enter the menu.
Operating Modes Operating Parameters Maintenance or Alarms UV System only How to Get Water from the Synergy R System Using the Dispensing Button There are two ways to get water using the Dispensing Button: Press once and release. Press and hold down.
Using the Synergy R System How to Dispense an Exact Amount of Product Water (F01) Press the Main and “-“ Buttons together to enter the menu. The Display will show F01. Press the “+” or “-“ Button to adjust the exact amount of Product Water (in Litres) needed.
Using the Synergy R System Operating Modes Standby STANDBY mode is displayed when the front cover is removed. The system will depressurize during which STANDBY will be blinking on the Display for 10 seconds. All system operations are disabled. STANDBY mode is selected before attempting maintenance on the system.
Page 32
AUTO-DISPENSING mode is displayed when selecting menu option F01. AUTO- DISPENSING mode is used to dispense pre- set volumes of water from the Synergy R system. The amount of water dispensed and the resistivity are shown while water is being dispensed.
Using the Synergy R System How to view the Product Resistivity and Temperature in Pre Operate mode Press: The Display will show the last Product resistivity and temperature values measured during DISPENSING mode or during RECIRCULATION. The values are displayed for 5 seconds.
Using the Synergy R System How to Understand Synergy R System messages Pack Alarm • The system will prompt you to change the SynergyPak cartridge using a red Pack Alarm icon. The Display will show the red Pack Alarm blinking. The SynergyPak cartridge is changed due to either the amount of time it has been used or from the amount of water that has passed through it.
