Water Softener Operation
Ensure that the water softener is operating properly before initial startup by testing the water from the
water softener for hardness. If hardness is more than 1 grain per gallon (17.1 ppm), the softener is not
functioning properly. Verify the following:
1.
Water Feed Supply - the water feed supply must be connected to the proper inlet on the water
softener head, with the inward-pointing arrow. Water from the softener to the AE™ Series OSG
must be connected to the outlet, with the outward pointing arrow.
2.
Check Valve - the brine recharge tubing has a check valve in the middle of the line with an arrow
that must be pointing from the brine generator toward the water softener.
3.
Brine Generator - verify that there is sufficient brine in the brine generator for the water softener
to regenerate. Confirm that brine flows freely out of the tank. Routine Operations
Initial Startup
AE System Controls
Prior to turning the unit on, verify that the correct AC power is applied to the unit. There is one toggle switch
on the front of the control box that turns the system ON/OFF. There is a circuit breaker on the left side of the
power supply enclosure. Make sure the breaker is in the ON or UP position prior to toggling the ON/OFF
switch. A display panel sequentially lists cell amperage, cell voltage, oxidant temperature, cell run time in
hours and pump speed during normal operation. The display also lists fault conditions or standby messages
(
Figure 13

Figure 14
). The system electronic controls are designed to diagnose and adjust the unit to
optimum operating conditions or shut down the system should a fault occur.
