3. Troubleshooting
3.6 The filter screen and particle filter have buildup or blockages.
The recommendation is for the Dosatron particle filter to be rinsed thoroughly with clean water every three
months and an alarm will be set during the installation process to coincide with the specific application.
Depending on that specific application, this frequency may need to be increased to bi-monthly or even monthly.
Visual inspections determine how often the filter needs cleaning. The filter screen located above the DECI tank
should be cleaned with a wet-dry vacuum whenever there is a visual buildup of support material. The performance
of the DECI can be kept at optimal levels by maintaining the filters properly.
3.7 The liquid temperatures are running too hot or too cold.
The temperatures being used in the DECI play a key role in the performance of post processing operations. See
Appendix A
for more information about proper temperature control.
3.8 There is excess foam in the processing chamber.
During installation of the DECI, the detergent and anti-foaming agent were set to the optimal levels. If over time,
an excessive level of foam is developing during processing, it is necessary to check the dosing levels on each
Dosatron. If the dosing levels have been adjusted or moved from the original levels, reset them according to
the original installation configuration. If unsure of what the optimal levels are, contact
PostProcess

further instruction.
3.10 Where can I find the DECI Serial Number?
The serial number can be found on the left rear panel near
the top of the machine and will resemble the ID plate as
shown left.
3.9 The DECI is not stationary or stable
The DECI was designed with special casters that can be
adjusted and locked into place. To prevent unwanted
movement, pull out the metal ratchet on each caster,
adjust them to the desired setting and lock the wheels
into place by pushing in the ratchet. See
Figure 27. Caster
