Use of this Manual This manual contains full details on installation, commissioning and operation of the MEDICA EDI 15/30 system. If this system is used contrary to the instructions in this document, then the safety of the user may be compromised.
Electricity It is essential that the electrical supply to the MEDICA EDI 15/30 is isolated before any items are changed or maintenance work performed. The ON/OFF switch is located on the left hand side of the Mains Power Supply system.
Environment The MEDICA EDI 15/30 should be installed on a flat, level surface, in a clean, dry environment. The system can also be wall mounted against a vertical wall capable of supporting the weight. For this we recommend the use of the wall mounting kit.
The MEDICA EDI 15/30 can be bench or wall mounted and an optional wall mounting kit is available. A range of accessories are available to complement the system.
An LCD displays the system status and provides control by means of three function buttons. The water is processed and treated by the MEDICA EDI 15/30 system as follows: Pre-treated feed water enters through a strainer and inlet solenoid valve and is pumped by means of an RO boost pump.
