Chapter 9: Start-Up
39 | Installation, Operation & Maintenance Instructions EASYCHLORGEN
9.2 Normal Start-Up
Precondition for action:
The EASYCHLORGEN has only been in short term
shutdown and that all commissioning and initial start-up
procedures have previously been completed and no
alterations to the EASYCHLORGEN equipment and
configuration has not subsequently been altered.
The softened water supply should be confirmed by
performing a water hardness YES/NO test. The sample
will be a GREEN result for soft water and RED result for
hard water. The result MUST BE GREEN, i.e. soft water.
DO NOT PROCEED further until a reliable softened
water supply is available.
The salt saturator is filled with a pre-charge of the correct
specification of salt and the water level has reached its
full level governed by the float valve.
Ensure all hydraulic isolation valves are open upstream
of the EASYCHLORGEN as appropriate.
9.2.1 PSU Power Up
Perform the following working steps:-
4.
Switch on the PSU at the cabinet door main isolator.
5.
Disengage the Emergency Stop button by twisting and
pulling outward.
6.
The Power On (white) lamp will illuminate indicating that
there is power available to the system.
Perform the following working steps:-
1.
Switch on the power supply to the EASYCHLORGEN.
The Start-up screen appears:-
The EASYCHLORGEN system will perform a set
countdown number of water and brine batch cycles from
10 through to 0 (4250 model) or 20 through to 0 (8500
model) to initially charge the electrolyser with a minimum
volume of brine solution prior to automatically starting
normal generation/batch cycles.
Note that the PSU GEEN lamp will be illuminated
indicating the EASYCHLORGEN system is in normal
operation.
2.
When the countdown is complete the EASYCHLORGEN
will resume normal operation and display SYSTEM
HEALTHY, GENERATING:-
3.
When the SYSTEM HEALTHY screen is visible, scroll
DOWN to observe engineer display 1:-
The normal DC Volt reading should be in the range of
between 24 and 26 volts for 4250 models and 48 to 52
volts for the 8500 model.
N.B
. the DC volt reading may take several hours to stabilize
on initial commissioning owing to the water/brine
solution strength stabilizing.
Start up complete.
