In the event of a sensor failure resulting in a shut down due to a false alarm, the failed sensor can
be overridden (page 60 Spectra Connect Settings). High Pressure, Service Prefilter, System Stalled
(airlock), and Salinity Probe Failed can all be overridden and the system will still run automatically
with all other functions intact.
Be absolutely certain that the alarm is false before overriding the
automatic controls.
In the event of complete Connect control failure , the system may be operated manually as
follows:
•
Switch on the feed pump by turning the toggle switch to RUN MAN. The automatic safety con-
trols are disabled in manual mode. Shut the unit down if the Clark pump does not cycle, if air is
continuously present in the intake line, or if the feed pump is excessively noisy.
•
Always discard the product water for the first few minutes of operation as the initial product
water may not be potable. Take a water sample by loosening the 1/4 - inch product tube fitting at
either the feed pump module or the membrane outlet. Check it with a handheld salinity meter or
taste it.
•
The diversion valve is an electrically operated three - way valve, which is normally energized by
the Connect controls in order to send water to the tank. It will not open automatically in manual
mode, and must be opened using the mechanical override button. The button is located on the
side closest to the Clark pump cylinder . Push the manual override button in and rotate 1/4
turn clockwise to open the valve.
