Electrical installation
THIS EQUIPMENT MUST BE EARTHED! The electrical installation should be carried out by a qualified electrician. The following method is recommended. The equipment is supplied with 1.5m of PVC/PVC flexible, triple core, circular cable with the following specification, 1.5mm 2 to BS 6500 or equivalent and <HAR> or BASEC approved. The cable gland is designed to accept cable whose diameter is >7.0mm and <10.5mm. It is recommended that, at the connection to the mains electrical supply, there is fitted a double pole isolation switch with a continuous current carrying capacity of 15 amps at 250V, and that overcurrent protection is provided by either a double pole approved fuse rated at 15A, 250V, or a double pole approved circuit breaker of similar rating. These devices should be sited near to the equipment and be clearly marked Disconnect device for Distinction Water Still. NOTE: Do not connect to electricity supply with a 13 amp plug. Cable connections are shown in figures 3a and 3b. Connect to the line supply noting that the wires in the instrument lead are coloured in accordance with the following code: Blue - Neutral Brown - Live Green & Yellow - Earth Mains Cable Replacement If the mains cable requires replacement, only cable with the specification given above should be used. For live and neutral leads use bootlace crimps, size 1.5mm, with a performance conforming to BS 4G178 part 1, 1984 and part 2, 1986. For the earth lead use 1.5mm, M4 eyelet crimps with a performance conforming to BS 4G178 part 1, 1984 and part 2, 1986. A suitable crimp tool should be used.

WARNING! Do not use this equipment to distil any liquid other than water.

Safety cut-outs
The Distinction Water Still is protected by the following safety cutouts: 1. Reservoir level control This should be positioned in the collecting reservoir (see Assembly) and turns off the heating element when the reservoir is full. 2. Condenser thermostat Mounted in the condensers distillate outlet. Should the water supply be interrupted steam will begin to emerge from the condenser causing the thermostat to operate and turn off the electricity supply to the heating element. 3. Boiler thermostat Mounted in the boiler above the heating element. Should the boiler water level fall and expose the element the thermostat will operate and turn off the electricity supply to the element. After operation of either of the thermostats, normal operation may be resumed by resetting the thermostat by means of their respective reset buttons mounted on the right hand end panel of the electrical compartment. Remove the black plastic cover and then press the red button - a slight click will be heard if the thermostat had operated. Before resetting either thermostat the still should be allowed to cool completely and the cause of the cutout operation identified and rectified. If the thermostats continue to operate, consult a qualified electrician or the Technical Service Department of Bibby Scientific Ltd.

Care and maintenance

N.B. Before commencing any maintenance, cleaning or fault finding the equipment should be isolated from the mains electricity supply. These operations should only be carried out by suitably qualified personnel. Only spare parts supplied or approved by Bibby Scientific Ltd or its agent should be used. Fitting of non-approved parts may affect the performance or safety of the equipment.

9.

The Distinction Water Still may now be restarted by referring to the instructions given under Operation in this manual. Note: The stand and outer surfaces of the glassware should be cleaned using a damp cloth and a mild detergent solution.

Heater replacement*
1. 2. Isolate the Still from the electricity supply. Clean the heater and boiler if they are heavily scaled by following the cleaning instructions given in this manual. It will be found easier to replace the heater by working with the boiler on the bench. Therefore: Drain the boiler via the stopcock. Remove the end panel. Disconnect the heater cable. Disconnect all water hoses. Remove the condenser. Remove the boiler, complete with heater, from the stand. Unscrew the 3 bolts securing the heater and withdraw the heater from the boiler. Remove the aluminium plate and silicone rubber ring from the heater. 4. Now fit a new heater as described in assembly instruction number 4. N.B. Examine the silicone ring and replace if not in good condition. 5. Re-assemble the Still by following the assembly instructions.

Cleaning
Over a period of operation scale will build up inside the boiler. To obtain optimum performance this scale should be removed on a regular basis. Please note that scale can build up both in the neck and main body of the boiling chamber. The time span between cleaning depends greatly on the hardness of the water and the amount of use. Frequently used stills in hard water areas may need descaling once a week whereas in a soft water area several weeks may elapse before descaling is necessary. N.B. Heavy scaling will reduce distilled water quality and can shorten the life of the heating element. It is possible to descale the Distinction Water Still without dismantling the glassware by following these instructions in conjunction with Control of Substances Hazardous to Health regulations (COSHH) 1988: 1. 2. 3. 4. Switch off the electricity supply to the still and allow it to cool completely. Turn off the cooling water supply. Open the stopcock on the constant level control and allow the boiler to drain completely. Close stopcock. Turn on the cooling water supply and allow the boiler to fill to approximately half way to its normal operating level. Turn off the water supply. Into the open funnel of the constant level control carefully add about 100ml of concentrated hydrochloric acid. WARNING! ALWAYS HANDLE STRONG ACIDS WITH GREAT CARE. PROTECTIVE CLOTHING, GLOVES AND FACE-MASKS SHOULD BE WORN DURING THE DESCALING OPERATION. REMOVE ANY ACID SPILLS IMMEDIATELY. Turn on the water supply and fill the boiler to the normal operating level. The water will flush the acid into the boiler. The water supply should be turned off when the level in the boiler is slightly below the overflow. 6. 7. Leave the acid in the boiler to dissolve the scale. This may take some time depending on the severity of the build-up. Open the stopcock and allow the boiler to drain. Note: If the acid in the boiler has not been completely neutralised the liquid flowing to drain may be highly acidic. All necessary safety precautions should be observed around the drain and any effluent control procedures followed. 8. Close the stopcock, turn on the water and allow the boiler to fill with cold water. Turn off the water, re-open the stopcock and allow the boiler to drain. Repeat this procedure three times.
