4.2.1 Introduction 4.2.1 Introduction This section describes the software settings for the AquaWIT V system. Other software settings are described in the Palltronic Flowstar V Integrity Test Instrument Operating Instructions. Note: In the General Settings the unit for temperature can be set to use degrees Celsius or Fahrenheit, and the unit for pressure can be set to mbar, psi, kp/cm or kPa.
When using an external water source, the pressure of the water supply must be reduced to below 3 bar (43.5 psi) and the temperature must be between 18°C to 24°C (64 to 77°F). The system does not monitor the water temperature before a filter test starts. AquaWIT V Operating Instructions 29748887 AB...
