2. Installation 2.1 General criteria A planned installation will make both fitting and operation of your Ready 60 watermaker easier. Details below need to be taken into account with your installation: An appropriate seawater intake with necessary fittings. Positioning of the watermaker . Positioning of accessories.

2.Installation 2.6 Electric connections The electric connections must be done between the electric box of the watermaker and the small box connected to the computer. The power supply, coming from the service batteries, needs to be connected to the terminals – and + of the computer box (see the table below for the recommended section).
3. Operation PUMP 1 PUMP 2 AUT. WASHING selection switches START STOP MAN. WASHING illuminated ALLA control push-buttons 3.1 By-pass activation The by-pass is activated by turning the switch located on the computer box clockwise. When the by-pass is activated, all the electronic functions (diagnostic, automatic washing, etc.) are disabled, and the unit works in manual mode (the pumps 1 and 2 are activated acting directly on the PUMP1 and PUMP2 selectors).

3. Operation 3.2. First start-up procedure The first start-up procedure should be followed when starting a new plant for the first time or when restarting after laying up. Preliminary checks: Check that the reset valve is closed (lever orthogonal to the body valve) and the positioner unscrewed.

3. Operation 3.3. Normal operation procedure 1. Check that the seacock and waste water drain valve are opened. 2. Check that the depressurization and reset valves are closed and that the by-pass is not connected. 3. Check that the Pressure Water system is turned on. Fresh water production cycle without automatic washing The automatic washing procedure uses 7 to 8 litres of water.

Fresh water production with automatic washing For use when the watermaker is not used on a daily basis or when automatic washing is required after every water making session.) 1. Preset the pumps by turning the PUMP1 and PUMP2 switches clockwise. 2.
ATTENTION If the watermaker has been stopped by using the pump switches and not the Stop button, or if some air is in the system, the automatic hydraulic valve may stop in a central position. This means that pressure on both sides of the valve are the same and the unit is effectively stalled and has to be manually restarted.

This is used for 'pickling' the watermaker when not in use and as part of the general cleaning process. See 4.1 Shutdown procedure Schenker No 2 is an alkaline base organic cleaner. If the watermaker has been left standing without pickling or has a 'bag egg” smell, cleaning with Schenker No2 will remove this.

The reverse osmosis membranes have an average working life of 5-6 years. After 5 years they usually may start to degrade. If in doubt as to their condition contact a Schenker service point and replace as a matter of course after 7 years.

ELECTRONIC TROUBLESHOOTING When pressing start button the system will not start Check that the by-pass is not switched on (bypass switch turned anticlockwise) and that at least one pump is activated (switch PUMP1 or PUMP2 turned on). If the system still fails to start... Check that electric cables are properly connected, follow the wiring scheme indicated in the manual and that the main automatic circuit breaker is in place.
SAFETY WARNINGS Ensure the watermaker is correctly installed by contacting a Schenker service point. Unless the correct cleaning procedures are carried out in accordance with this manual, there may be bacteria present in the produced water. Therefore don’t drink the water is an UV sterilizer is not installed.

6. Most frequent operations summary table Fresh water production without automatic washing: 1. Seacock and waste water drain valves open. 2. Depressurization and reset valves closed. 3. AUT WASHING switch in “off” position. 4. Select one pump (for 30 lit/h water production) or two pumps (for 60 lit/h water production). 5.
In case of repairs under guarantee performed by our technicians on the customer vessel, the faulty parts replacement cost will be at Schenker's expense, while manpower and travel expenses will be charged to the customer. The guarantee does not include faults caused by negligence in operating, maintenance and installation of the device (if not carried out by an authorised Schenker Service point).
