Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System Switch Inputs Switch inputs are connected to P2. The connections for these inputs are not polarity sensitive and can be connected to either terminal. The switch inputs should be dry contact closures only. CAUTION: Applying voltage to these terminals will damage the controller.
Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System System Operation Series S100 RO System Controller Operation General Operation The unit has 2 modes of operation, a standby mode and an operating mode. In the standby mode, the unit is effectively off.

Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System Pressure Fault If the pressure fault input is active for 2 seconds, a pressure fault condition will occur. This will cause the controller to shut down. PF will show on the water quality display and the status lamp will flash red. To clear the pressure fault, press the power key twice.
Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System Water Quality Setpoint The water quality setpoint can be adjusted from 0-999. If set to 999, the water quality lamp will always remain green. To set the water quality setpoint, press the Setpoint key. The display will alternate between the setpoint and SP. Use a small screwdriver to adjust the SP adjustment to the desired setpoint value.
Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System 10. Adjust the Throttle Valve (CV-1) to get the specified permeate flow (if applicable). 11. Adjust the Control Valve (CV-2) and Recycle Valve (CV-3) until the specified permeate flow and recycle flow are obtained. It may be necessary to readjust the Throttle Valve (CV-1).
Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System System Automation The system will automatically turn on when the water level in the permeate tank reaches the mid level float, and turn off when the water meets the high level float.

Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System System Operation Temperature The water temperature is one of the key factors in the performance of the reverse osmosis membrane element. A higher temperature will result in more product flow and a lower temperature will result in less product flow.
Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System System Controller Troubleshooting – Series S100 Caution: Hazardous voltages are present when power is applied to the controller. Pressing the Power key DOES NOT remove these voltages. The power must be disconnected from the power source. When connecting or disconnecting any wiring to the unit, be sure the power is turned off at the disconnect or breaker.

Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System System Maintenance Maintain proper operating conditions. (See section: “Design Basis” on pages 3-4) Sediment Pre-Filter Cartridge When to Change Sediment Prefilter Cartridge Sediment cartridge Filters should be changed regularly to maintain proper pump pressure and flow.
Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System Cleaning Sequence Whether the system needs acid or alkaline cleaning will depend on the type of foulant suspected. We recommend acid cleaning be performed first, even when alkaline cleaning is desired. If system performance recovers with acid cleaning, then alkaline cleaning is not necessary.
Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System Low Pressure Switch Adjustment Adjust in the proper sequence: 1. Range: Turn nut down (clockwise) for higher cut-in pressure, or up (counterclockwise) for lower cut-in. 2. Differential: Turn nut down (clockwise) for higher-cut-out pressure, or up (counterclockwise) for lower cut-out.

Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System Mechanical Seal Changeout (refer to figures above) This procedure is best completed with the pump held in a vertical position, motor down. First, complete “Disassembly” instructions 1 through 5 under “Impeller Stack Changeout.” (see previous page) 6.
Installation and Service Manual – L Series Reverse Osmosis System Shut-Down and Storage Caution: Handle all chemicals with care. Wear protective clothing and eye protection. Membrane Storage (outside of RO system) To prevent bacterial growth and help maintain flux, it is recommended that elements be immersed in a solution 20.0 percent, by weight, AM-225 and 1.0 percent by weight AM-88.
