  • Page 9: Manual Operation

    3.0 Manual Operation The Aquamatic, Aquamatic XL and AquaWhisper DX desalination system controller provides two possible methods of operation; these are manual mode and automatic mode. In manual mode, the controller requires that the operator activate the relative pumps by pressing on the required pump operation icons. If the user attempts to operate a pump when it is determined by the control system as unsafe to do so, the controller will not allow such an action and will in some cases raise a warning message.

NOTE: Once the UV system has completed its warm up cycle or once the controller has detected potable water, the control system will make the 'Start|Stop Product Valve' button available.
  • Page 14: Automatic Operations

    Press to return to manual operation screen 4.0 Automatic Operation Automatic startup operation allows for virtually hands free startup of the Aquamatic, Aquamatic XL or AquaWhisper DX system, and all associated equipment. This automatic startup operation can also be carried out remotely via the system remote control display (if installed). NOTE: Before attempting automatic start up, it is important to check that all system feed and reject valves are in the correct position.
  • Page 15 NOTE: If the control system is unable to successfully calibrate the pressure control regulator, an error message will be displayed, and automatic startup will be aborted. An example of this error message is shown below: NOTE: There will be a system priming delay of approximately 25 second once boost pump has turned on to when the HP Pump turns on.
