REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS RO 809-812-815/E - INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL Safety 1.1. General The equipment has been designed and constructed according to D.P.R. n° 459 of 24th July 1996 (regulation for accomplishment of Norms 89/392/CEE, 91/368/CEE, 93/44/CEE and 93/68/CEE regarding the unification of States members laws in so far as machines are concerned).
REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS RO 809-812-815/E - INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL Principles of working Osmosis is a natural phenomenon : it is the spontaneous passage of a liquid from a dilute to a more concentrated solution across a semi-permeable membrane. The driving force of the solution through the membrane is its osmotic pressure.
REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS RO 809-812-815/E - INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL Technical characteristics 3.1. Assumed raw water characteristics • silt density index (SDI) ≤ 3 • TDS of raw water ≤ 5000 * • raw water temperature min÷max ºC (°F) 10÷40 (50÷104) • raw water pressure min÷max bar (kPa) 1.0÷6.0 (100÷600) •...
REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS RO 809-812-815/E - INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL Installation 4.1. Room conditions These units do not include visible moving or specially noising parts (see also the "noise monitor chart" attached to the special instructions of high-pressure pump). There are not any points which reaches high temperature.
According to the characteristics of raw water, the pre-treatment could be required; apply Nobel technical staff for proper suggestion. • Run the line from the product water outlet fitting (U) to the storage tank, using pipes made in PVC or other suitable materials, with size (Ø) equal or larger than the size of outlet...

REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS RO 809-812-815/E - INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL Control panel The control panel QE, handled by a logical programmer, controls the automatic and/or manual working of the whole system. For safety sake, when the high pressure pump P is on working, the inlet valve VI is open (except during the flushing with RO processed water, during which the valve VIF is open), both automatic and manual working as well.
REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS RO 809-812-815/E - INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL The visualizations available on the front of control panel QE are : This visualization is always available; the total time of working of "SERVICE PUMP" the system (hours) is also visualized. When this visualization appears, it indicates that the external "NO EXTERNAL signal is enabling the working of the system is missing (clamps 9- ENABLING SIGNAL"...

REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS RO 809-812-815/E - INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL 5.2.1. Reports on the display of the programmer The report messages enabled by the programmer are visualized on the display one at a time, with a determinate priority. The buttons are used to scroll the messages. The button is used to turn back to service visualizations.
REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS RO 809-812-815/E - INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL 5.2.4. How to use the function buttons of the programmer The 4 buttons can have special functions if enabled by the programmer for these purposes. Proceed as follows to use them: • push several times the button until the notice ESC+C…is visualized on the display.
RO system. The contacts of the microswitch of programmers of Nobel filters and softeners is closed only during the service; hence only during the service of filters and softeners the RO system can work and supply water.
REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS RO 809-812-815/E - INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL 5.3.7. Working of the pump The control system should receive the feed-back from the contactor of pump P that the pump is ON, when it should be ON (automatic command). Otherwise, the alarm acts, 3 seconds delayed, and it also switches the block of the whole system.

REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS RO 809-812-815/E - INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL Starting-up and adjustments At the starting-up of the system, when the system is re-started after a long non-working period, and after a cleaning operation, the membranes are filled with preservative or detergent chemical.
Page 19
REVERSE OSMOSIS SYSTEMS RO 809-812-815/E - INSTRUCTIONS MANUAL CAUTION: The treated water (permeate) supplied during the first hour of working of the system must not be used, since it can still contain residual of preservative chemical. When this solution will be completely flushed away, the valve V3 can be turned on normal working position (the permeate flow is diverted to the storage tank).
