2 Product description Intended Use The JRG Coral force 8000, 11000, 14000, 3.5D, 5D limescale conditioning units are designed to provide long-term reductions in limescale formation in potable water installations and sanitary systems. The biomineralisation process is based on a...

Installation example with JRG Coral force 14000 in the main potable water system inlet, fitted after the water meter and a domestic water station with filter, RV and pressure control valve. Any other or additional use of this equipment is deemed to be NOT FOR INTENDED PURPOSE.
Principle of Operation JRG Coral force limescale conditioners function on the basis of patented WATERCRYST catalyser technology. This leaves the valuable minerals in the potable water and does not alter its natural composition. The stainless steel tank (1) contains a loose bed of active, fine-grained polymer catalyst granulate (2), above which are filter granules of lower specific weight (3) in polypropylene and filter stars (4, 5) in the water inlet and outlet.
Page 13
Regular thermal disinfection (TDI) is performed automatically to prevent harm to the unit being caused by microbiological action. During this process the catalyst cartridge is isolated from the drinking water supply by means of a valve, while a bypass in the valve ensures that the supply of drinking water continues unaffected.
3 Control and Monitoring Module The control and monitoring module is based on an industrial programmable logic controller (PLC) and offers the following functions: • Monitoring Functions Granulate change interval via operating hours counter Time interval for automatic thermal disinfection Control valve positions for thermal disinfection and backflushing Heating function for thermal disinfection Temperature in all operating phases...

The controller is operated via the 4 cursor keys (1), the OK button (2) and the ESC button (3), which are positioned to the right of the display (4). Nach dem Einstecken des Netzsteckers erscheint im Display der Steuerung das in der Abbildung oben zu sehende Menü.

7 Filling and Bleeding the Unit Commissioning should be performed by JRG Coral force's customer support team in the exact sequence described below. Any failure to properly bleed the JRG Coral force unit may result in malfunctioning. Remove thermal insulation Seite 22 von 68 Rev.: 1113803-1...
Fitting thermal insulation and thermometer C heck for Leaks Before fitting the insulation, check installation and unit for any leaks, including the base of the vessel. Fit the thermal insulation: 1. Close the sealing rail on one of the two sides of the valves.
Signal Contact for Building Management System (optional) The unit features a 2-pole signal input with chassis socket and cable connector provided plus a potential- free fault signal contact that can be connected via a 4-pole chassis plug on the controller housing and the cable socket provided, so enabling a connection into the building management system.
8 Commissioning Ensure that the maintenance cocks are fully open and that the unit is completely filled with water and all air is bled out. The controller requires a three-phase fused mains supply of 400 V, 50Hz, min. 10A, max. 16A. Switch unit on When the key-switch is turned on, the controller automatically initiates a full hygiene program to ensure the intrinsic safety of the system before the JRG Coral force limescale conditioning...
Set date and time The date and time must be set during commissioning (see next page). When the date and time are set, the time clock of the controller is activated. The date and time must be set again after extended power outages (over 80 hours).
Setting Device Parameters (OPTIONAL) Leaving the Component Level: Start the limescale conditioning unit by switching it off, waiting 10 seconds and then switching back on. Seite 35 von 68 Rev.: 1113803-1...
8.3.1 Linking to pumping system (OPTIONAL) The software need only be enabled by changing the S_Hebe switch, as described below, if the signal contact is connected to the pumping system. (With contact connected, ON. With pumping system not connected, OFF.) Leaving the Component Level: Start the limescale conditioning unit by switching it off, waiting 10 seconds and then switching back on.
8.3.2 Setting the time for thermal disinfection (TD) (OPTIONAL) The start time for TD is factory set to Mondays and Thursdays at 00:05. Should it be necessary, for reasons specific to the building or installation, for these TD times to be changed, proceed as follows. Leaving the Component Level: Start the limescale conditioning unit by switching it off, waiting 10 seconds and then switching back on.
8.3.3 Changing the Service Interval (OPTIONAL) A service interval is preset by the factory of 43,800 hours (= 5 years). Should it be necessary, for reasons specific to the building or installation, for this interval to be different or to change the operating hour counter reading, proceed as follows.
Initiating a Manual Thermal Disinfection (TD) For reasons of hygiene and to test the correct operation of the system, thermal disinfection must be performed whenever a limescale treatment unit is commissioned. Seite 39 von 68 Rev.: 1113803-1...
9 Operating States and Indications Operational signalling and indications, maintenance requests and fault messages are conveyed via the following elements: Operating status lamp (green) Service/Fault lamp (red) Legend: Lamp on Lamp off Lamp flashing slowly (about every 3 sec.) Lamp flashing fast (about once per sec.) Display Acoustic alarm signal: No alarm sounds during normal water treatment operation...
Water Treatment (WT) In water treatment, the incoming water passes downwards through the pipework via the backflow inhibitor. The contents of the vessel containing the catalyst granulate moves upwards at the same rate. The treated water then passes through the two-way ball valve into the downstream installation.
Thermal Disinfection (TD) To ensure continued supply to the installation during thermal disinfection, water passes through a bypass in the overflow valve. The main ball valve is set to the shut-off position. The water is heated using an electric heater rod and transported into the vessel by the charging pump.
Backflush (RS) Once thermal disinfection is complete, the small 2-way ball valve opens the backflushing line. Part of the flow rinses the hot water upwards from beneath, to exit the vessel. Flush volume flow: approx. 60-100 l/min (depending on line pressure) Rinse duration: approx.
Service Display When cartridge replacement is imminent, this is indicated by flashing of the yellow LED as per the following combinations: On continuously during water treatment (WT); flashes during TD or RS On SERVICE Date: Current date Message: 'Service required' open Seite 44 von 68 Rev.: 1113803-1...
Fault Messages/Malfunctions If faults or malfunctions occur that cannot be rectified immediately, the system should be taken out of service. • Unplug mains plug to isolate unit from electrical power. • In the event of power failure, the fail-safe drives of both ball valves move them automatically into their respective shut-off positions.

Retrieving Error Messages in the Error Log The up and down arrow buttons can be used to display the error log. Caution: Switch the unit off only if there is an imminent hazard. If the unit is switched off or unplugged, all error messages will be lost. In this case it will no longer be possible to read the error log.
Manual Decommissioning if Ball Valve is Defective If a fault occurs in the ball valve drive following a power failure during backflush mode, the rinsing water is not automatically cut off; instead, KH2 must be manually operated to cut off the rinsing supply.
Errors E00 to E05 – Ball Valve Positioning The controller does not receive feedback from the position sensing of the drive units of either KH1 or KH2. The error message is issued in combination with E04 'KH1 Error' or E05 'KH2 Error' and provides, as extra information, the operating status in which the error occurred.

10 Maintenance and Service In addition to the usual periodic inspections of the technical systems in accordance with the regulations and standards valid in this field of application, the catalyst granulate in JRG Coral force limescale conditioners must be replaced every five years. Georg Fischer JRG offers a service kit for this purpose.
10.2 Safety when Replacing the Catalyst Granulate Risk of slipping from spilled granulate. Erect a warning sign Risk of scalding! from escaping hot water. Wait until system parts have cooled to room temperature and isolate the system from supply pressure Unplug the unit and secure against restarting Before undertaking granulate replacement, secure the work area to ensure that no unauthorised persons can gain access to the unit.
