GBE RO Controller (GROC) Features
System Computes Normalized Flow
The system computes normalized flow and can be set to trigger an alarm if the normalized flow drops below a specified
limit.
Power Up Mode
The system can be configured to either go to standby mode or to automatically return to making RO water in the event of
power loss and restoration.
Storage Tank and Pressure Logic
The system has the ability to monitor high and low level switches in an atmospheric storage tank and a pressure switch in
a pressurized storage tank to automatically put the system into standby mode when the tank is full.
Pretreatment Lockout
Allows for single softener or filter pretreatment that can be set to go into regeneration or backwash cycle at low water use
periods and have the RO in standby until cycle is completed. RO product water tank would need to be sized correctly
based on flow demand if continuous RO product water is required.
GBE Historical Data
The GBE RO Controller stores basic performance data over the lifetime of the membranes as an aid to optimizing RO
performance and determining when the membranes need to be cleaned or replaced.
Flush Options
The system offers five different membrane flush modes to improve performance and extend membrane life.

Target TDS
The RO system keeps track of the average product water TDS whenever the RO system is operating, mixing lower quality
water with product water to meet the average product water TDS.
Communications via Modem
An optional modem and monitoring service can be used to remotely monitor the RO performance over time. This service
can also be used to alert the customer and the Culligan dealer in the event that an alarm or error condition occurs.
Wireless Remote Communication
An optional wireless remote can display the current operational status and performance statistics up to 200 feet from the
G1 RO system.
PLC Outputs Available
The GBE Controller collects data once per minute and then streams the data to a customer-owned PLC for data collection
or monitoring. Customer would have to write code to take text information and convert the data for their data collection
system. For more information, see Culligan P/N 01021512 Advanced Communication Manual.
This data, once converted from a text stream, can easily be imported to an excel spreadsheet and the data logged can
then be graphed and trended.
Multi-Unit RO
The GBE RO controller supports two multi-unit modes: Two Pass and Duplex-Alternating.
When in two-pass or duplex-alternating mode, the system is configured to support two GBE RO controllers that are connected together using the communication cable (P/N 01016327). One of these boards is set as the master, controlling the
operations of the other unit, also known as the slave. The slave unit performs as a sensing device.
• When in Two-Pass RO mode, the primary unit, identified as the master, issues commands to control the secondary
unit, identified as the slave.
• The GBE RO controller controller is capable of coordinating the alternating operation of two RO units plumbed in
parallel. This operation mode is designed for situations where RO redundancy is desired.

Plumbing Installation
Refer to the appropriate hydraulic schematic/flow diagram on page 71 for further information.
Feed Water Connections
Connect pipe or tubing to the Feed water inlet. Observe the following:
1. To minimize pressure loss, the pipe or tubing size should be at least 3/4”.
2. Install optional pressure gauges (quantity 2 of P/N D1006272) before and after the pre-filter to measure the
pressure differential across the filter cartridge.
3. Install a tee, with an upstream shutoff valve on the branch, before the feed flow meter to provide a connection
for introducing cleaning solutions.
4. If necessary, install a pressure regulator (100 psi downstream max. setting) in the inlet plumbing, to assure
constant pressure and to prevent harmonic vibration.
5. Install a shutoff valve in the inlet plumbing to simplify maintenance and service.
6. If the feed water can be used for a short period, install bypass plumbing around the unit.
Concentrate Water Connections
1. Direct 1/2" tubing to drain from the outlet of the unit.
2. To prevent siphoning of the water in the unit to drain, raise the concentrate plumbing above the level of the
modules and provide an anti-siphon loop.
WARNING! An air gap must be provided between the end of the concentrate tubing and the
drain to prevent back-siphoning of drain contents.
Product Water Connections
The product water exits on the pump side of the unit in either 1/2” piping or tubing. Connect the product plumbing to the
fitting on the flow meter.
CAUTION! This unit produces high quality product water. This water can be contaminated by
plumbing following the unit or it can corrode the plumbing. Use only plumbing components of inert material that are compatible with the application.
The connection of the main product plumbing to service plumbing will depend on how the product water will be stored.
CAUTION! Reverse osmosis elements will fail immediately if product water is allowed to flow
backward into the unit.
Pressurized Storage Tank
The product water can be stored in a pressurized storage tank with the reverse osmosis unit controlled by a pressure
switch. Use the same components used for direct feed (see Figure 4) with the addition of a pressure switch which needs
to be wired to the control panel (see page 72 for RO standard wiring). A pressurized water storage kit is available under
part number D1018976.
10 Culligan® Series M2 Reverse Osmosis
10 Cat. No. 01023095
Non-Pressurized Product Water Storage Tank
*Use of Pressurized Storage Tank requires use of Pressurized Storage Kit D1018976.
Connect the product tubing to a bulkhead fitting at the top of the storage tank.
CAUTION! The highest point of the tubing should not be higher than four feet above the top of
the reverse osmosis modules, or the elements may be damaged.
Depending on the type of application, a level control may be required to turn the unit off when the storage tank is full.
Install the level control according to the instructions provided with the control. Refer to the wiring section in this manual for
electrical connections.
NOTICE If a repressurization pump is used, an additional level control is recommended to prevent the
pump from running dry if the storage tank is empty.
To maintain high water quality, a hydrophilic air vent filter, vacuum breaker, pop-off valve, ultraviolet lamp, and pressure
relief valve may be required.
Direct Feed
If the product water is to be used directly, without storage, a few precautions are necessary to prevent damage to the
elements. Install a pressure gauge, pressure relief valve, and a normally-open (“dump”) solenoid in the product water line
as shown in Figure 4. The pressure gauge will allow the operator to monitor the product water pressure. The relief valve,
which should be set to open at 40 psig, will prevent the product water pressure from exceeding 40 psi. The dump solenoid
will relieve all pressure when the unit is off.
(D1018976)
Figure 4. Direcfeed connection.
Wire the direct feed/pressurized storage solenoid valve in parallel with the motor.
NOTICE Install a check valve after these valves in case the service line remains under pressure. Product
back pressure will decrease the net pressure pushing water through the reverse osmosis elements. Therefore, the flow of product water will decrease.

GROC Programming
Program Data Input
There are a few items to note that can make programming the Culligan® Global Reverse Osmosis Controller (GROC)
easier:
Slew Rates This term refers to the speed at which the display moves through the input of material. For ex-
ample, holding down the up arrow key for (5) seconds when inputting minutes for Time of Day
will cause the minutes to pass in (10) minute blocks of time. Press the up arrow or down arrow
keys for shorter periods (less than 5 seconds) will slow the rate. To move through the programming slowly, do not hold down the up arrow or the down arrow keys.
Beeper A beeper is available to assist the user by providing an audible tone (about 70 decibels) to signi-
fy valid (one beep) and invalid (three beeps) key presses. The beeper can be deactivated in the
programming mode. (If error occurs, beep will still sound even if set to “No” programming.)
Programming
Mode Timeout
Program Input
Acceptance
NOTE The following programming section is used for the G1, M2, G2 & G3 RO systems. The controller used
on the G1 & M2 RO units have the same programming but the controller has fewer features. Unless
otherwise specified, the programming is applicable to all units. Features not available on the G1 and
M2 are noted with a double-cross symbol (‡).
If there is no keypad activity for a one (1) minute period while in the programming mode, the
controller will exit the programming mode and return to the main display. Any setting that was
changed prior to the control timing out will revert to the original value. Pressing the CHECK
MARK button saves the setting.
For programming information to be accepted, the check mark key must be depressed prior to
programming mode timeout.

Flush Modes
The GBE RO controller can be programmed to operate up to six different flush modes. Multiple flush modes can be specified and operating at any one time. If any one or more flush modes are calling for flushing to happen at a certain time, the
flush will take place. Some flush modes require additional plumbing and components such as solenoid valves.
Startup Flush
In this mode the fast flush solenoid (SV-2, Optional) opens for a specified number of minutes each time that the pump
turns on.
Standby Flush
In this mode any time that the system state is in STANDBY, the inlet AND fast flush solenoids open for a specified number of
minutes every specified number of hours. This is a line-pressure-level flush (ie the pump does NOT turn on during this flush).

In this mode, any time that the system state is in RUNNING, the fast flush solenoid (SV-2, Optional) will open for a specified number of minutes every specified number of hours. Note that the pump is ON during this flush.
Flow Trigger Flush
In this mode, any time that the system state is in RUNNING, the fast flush solenoid (SV-2, Optional) will open for a specified number of minutes every specified number of PRODUCT RO water generated. Note that the pump is ON during this
flush.
Quality Flush
If this mode is enabled, the product diversion solenoid (SV-3, NOT INCLUDED) is opened as soon as the pump turns on
when the RO system is RUNNING. This solenoid will remain open until the measured product TDS drops below the specified quality flush TDS setpoint or until the quality flush time period expires. If the TDS does not drop below the setpoint
during this period, the unit will switch to OFFLINE and the “product TDS High” error will be thrown. The Quality Flush solenoid valve is wired to the AUX board on the GBE RO controller at terminal AUX4. The solenoid valve must be 24 VAC.

At startup, SV1 opens, and then the pump turns on. SV3 opens while the system monitors the product TDS level. The
user programs the maximum allowable product TDS and the number of minutes allowed following startup to reach the allowable TDS level. Usually at startup, the TDS level starts high and then drops. If the level drops below the allowable level
within the allowed time, then SV3 will close, and the unit is now in service. If the allowable TDS level cannot be reached,
the unit will shut down and generate an error message.
Permeate Flush
If this mode is enabled, the permeate flush solenoid (SV-3, NOT INCLUDED) is opened as soon as the
pump turns off. This solenoid will remain open until the permeate flush time period expires and permits water from an optional permeate storage tank to flush the membranes. The Permeate Flush solenoid valve is
wired to the AUX board on the GBE RO controller at terminal AUX4 (G1). The solenoid valve must be 24 Volt.

At shutdown, the pump turns off and SV1 closes. Then fast flush solenoid valve SV2 and permeate valve SV3 open for a
programmed number of minutes. During this time, RO produt water stored either in an elevated atmospheric tank or in a
pressurized storage tank floods through the pump and the feed side of the membrane, and then SV2 and SV3 close. This
process provides RO-quality water during shutdown on both sides of the membrane to keep the membrane clean. This
process also ensures that the RO will provide high quality product water the next time the pump is turned on.
NOTE Quality Flush and Permeate Flush are mutually exclusive.

Table 1. RO pump and valve states during flush modes.
Any time that a Flush is actually taking place while the system state is RUNNING, the system will ignore the following error limits: delivered product TDS high, %recovery low, %recovery high, %reject low, membrane pressure drop, pump feed
pressure low. Once the flush ends, the error checking will resume. If the inlet pressure switch reports LOW pressure for
at least XX (XX is programmable at 1-30 seconds, at the main menu/setup/accessories/switch inputs menu) continuous
seconds, even if this is during or even partially during a flush time, the system will still recognize this instance as an error
condition, and it will begin the LOW PRESSURE process.
