Draining the LI-610
The LI-610 should be completely drained before being shipped, or
stored for long periods of time. This will prevent the possibility of
freezing, algal growth, chemical corrosion, etc.
Condenser Block
To drain the condenser block:
•
Remove the threaded capnut attached to the fill/drain tube on the
top of the condenser block assembly.
•
Attach a male Luer lock to the fill/drain fitting on the condenser
block.
•
Connect a short section of Bev-a-line tubing with a female Luer
lock (included) to the male Luer lock on the condenser block
housing.
•
Thread the female Luer lock into the 30 ml syringe.
•
Use the syringe to draw the water out of the condenser block. The
block holds approximately 20-25 ml of water when full.
Alternatively, the condenser block can be drained by plugging the two
output ports on the instrument front panel. Attach the section of Bev-a-
line tubing to the fill/drain fitting as described above. Close the flow
adjust valve completely. Turn the power switch and the air pump ON,
and open the flow adjust valve slightly to force the water out through
the fill/drain tube. Leave the air pump on until all of the water has
drained out of the condenser block.
