(2) Operation
A. Make sure the desired funnel adaptor (3) is screwed into main unit properly. Tighten fixing screw with allen key (2mm) to prevent support base from rotation.
Various µ kinds of funnel adaptors are available for various applications. (Refer to P.6) B. Connect a long tube to liquid outlet (5) and put the other side of tube into sink or a container to drain and
collect the waste liquid. Make µ sure the diameter of silicone tube is in accordance with main unit.

Hose Barb Diameter ID6 (6 mm) ID8 (8 mm)

Recommended Silicone Tube  4 x 8 mm (199100-68)  8 x 14 mm (180300-68)

C. Connect the power adaptor to both power source and DC socket (6) of main unit.

D. Connect the desired filter holder to funnel adaptor (3) and install the appropriate membrane in filter holder

or funnel. Various µ filter holders, such as plastic and disposable filter holder, could be connected to WaterVac 100 / 200 - MS by

No.8 silicone stopper.

E. Switch on the pump by pressing the power switch (1) to start the filtration.

WaterVac µ 200: Make sure all control valves (2) are off

before use and rotate them counterclockwise to vertical

position to start filtration.

F. Switch off the pump by pressing the power switch (1) again once filtration is finished.

WaterVac µ 200: Stop filtration by either switch off the pump or close the control valves (2).

G. Please pump the pure water to clean the tubing after every use to prevent any dirty is left over. Keep

pumping the air for at least 2 minutes to eliminate the liquid.

* Warning: (1) Do NOT use cable tie or any similar items to secure its outlet and silicone tube together to prevent any bursting and potential damage to the instrument. (2) Do NOT bend silicone tube or squeeze it to avoid poor drainage and potential damage. (3) Do NOT pump dirty or impure solution without filtration to avoid clogging or damaging.

5. Maintenance
1. The main unit is not autoclavable. Please clean the surface by pure water or 75% ethanol. 2. Please pump the pure water to clean the tubing after every use to prevent any dirty is left over. Keep
pumping the air for at least 2 minutes to eliminate the liquid. 3. Stainless steel funnels, support base and membrane support can be fast sterilized by flame or autoclaved
(121°C, 1 bar, 20 min). 4. Valve plate(s), O-ring(s), silicone tube(s) and diaphragm are consumables, it is recommended to replace it
on a yearly basis or as needed to ensure good operation.
