Cat. No. 01024000
Operation
Service Mode
When power is first applied, select SERVICE mode or STANDBY mode for the system. When in SERVICE mode the
system deionizes water.
The system will remain in SERVICE mode until any of the following conditions occur:
•
The user requests a manual regeneration,
•
An exterior quality sensor senses low quality,
•
The optional TDS probe senses low quality,
•
The system reaches the programmed capacity, or
•
The system reaches the programmed number of days between regenerations.
NOTE If power is lost while in SERVICE mode, the system will automatically be placed back into SERVICE
mode when power is restored.
WARNING! In the event of an air pressure loss the automatic deionizer will NOT supply any prod-
uct water. It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that no downstream equipment
or processes will be damaged by this no flow condition.
Twin Alternating Mode
The twin alternating mode uses two stand-alone controllers and a standard communication cable (P/N 01016327) to con-
nect the systems.
•
Interconnect the two controllers by installing the communication cable (P/N 01016327) to the terminal RS485 on
the back side of the GBE circuit boards. (See
•
"Twin Alternating Mode for Multi-System Setup" on page 34
to program control for alternating mode.
•
The system is set up as alternating mode, using one of the controllers as the master and one of the units as the
slave. The two units need to have the jumper at position J22 set to the two pins located towards the outside edge
of the DIGBE board for both boards.
•
After initially setting up the system in alternating mode the master system should go into service and the slave sys-
tem should go into standby mode. See
"Twin Alternating Mode for Multi-System Setup" on page 34
.
•
If the master or the slave ever loses communication with each other, the controller displays the error message
“Lost Comm.” Both systems will change from alternating mode to single mode and continue to operate as if each
system were a single system. To return to twin alternating mode, select the Twin Alternating mode from the system
setup menu.
•
If either unit detects that one system is in error condition for more than one minute, then the unit that is in standby
mode will go into service. In a twin alternating system, if a unit is in error condition and the user selects the clear
error option, then that unit changes status to standby mode. If the master and slave both ever display standby then
the master changes status to service. If the master and slave are ever both in service then the master changes
status to standby. If either unit is in standby and the other unit is in regeneration the unit in standby changes status
to service.
Triggering Quality Purge Mode
If, while the system is in SERVICE mode and the flow meter is flowing at one (1) count per second or greater, the mea-
sured water quality remains below the minimum level set on either the interior or exterior quality probe for a period longer
than the user-specified QUALITY DELAY TIME, the system will do the following:
1. Change the system status from SERVICE to QUALITY PURGE.
2. Start a Quality Purge Timer.
During quality purge, treated water will flow to the drain while also flowing to service. The system will measure the quality
of this water. If the quality of the water meets the required quality, the system will return to service mode.
NOTE Water quality might be low if there is flow to service while performing the quality purge.
