Plug the integrity tester into a power supply. Press the 

scroll keys until the screen displays "Integrity Test". Press 

ENTER and use the scroll keys to choose “Vertical”.

figure 28 

4 

Open the outlet mini ball valve and press the ENTER key 

on the integrity tester to begin the test. The integrity tester will 

automatically proceed through all test steps.

5 

The integrity test will take approximately 8 minutes to 

complete for a vertical system. At the end of the test, one LED 

indicator will light.
The possible test results are:
• 

green leD - PASS

• 

Yellow LED - FAULT

• 

Red LED - FAIL

If a pass is indicated then the system integrity is good and it is 

possible to proceed to the next step.

Integrity Test Fault

  

WARNING:

When performing a 

Membrane Integrity Test there can be several causes 

for a false failure, such as leaks in fittings and/or tubing 

connections. Be sure to troubleshoot and verify if you have 

a failed Membrane Integrity Test. Call technical service 

before confirming a failed Membrane Integrity Test.

If a FAULT or FAIL is indicated, perform the integrity test again. 

To repeat, CLOSE all mini ball valves. Open the inlet and outlet 

valves and run a tap for 5 minutes. Begin again from Step 1. 

Repeat the integrity test at least three times before assuming 

that there is a fault within the system.

NOTE: 

If there is a FAIL, the most common cause is a leak 

in the system from hoses, connections or a valve. Be sure 
that all connections are tight before beginning the test and 
the inlet and outlet valves are closed. Leaky valves and loose 
connections will cause a FAIL.

If a FAULT yellow LED occurs during a test, a fault description 

will appear. The following are potential notifications with 

corresponding corrective actions:

Error Displayed

Corrective Action

System pressure high, release 

pressure

System pressure is too high. 

Refer to Step 6 to release 

pressure.

Open bottom JG valve

Outlet mini ball valve is closed. 

Open valve and restart test.

Pressure failed to rise

Leaks in test set-up. Check for 

leaks.

Failed to reach test pressure

Test pressure was never 

reached. Check for leaks.

Leak detected

Test pressure was never 

reached. Check for leaks.

Failed to stabilize

Test pressure was never 

reached. Check for leaks.

NOTE: 

If there is no water coming out from any tap after the 

integrity test, check to ensure that both the inlet and outlet 
valves have been reopened. Leave the tap running for a few 
minutes to allow water flow to return to normal.

Following a FAULT yellow LED notification, take the appropriate 

corrective action and re-do the integrity test.
