SuperLogic 1500 Manual
An -Scalant Cartridge: Allows the system to be operated at a 2:1 product to brine recovery ra o by preven ng membrane fouling
due to hardness in the feed water. The system can also be specifi ed for a 4:1 product to brine ra o if a proper water so ener or
an scalant system is installed prior to the SuperLogic. Contact us for details @ (888) 426-5644.
Brine/Concentrate Recircula on Valve: A needle valve that controls the amount of brine from the membrane to be recirculated
back into the feed stream. This feature allows for higher recovery rates (lower waste water ra os). Addi onally, adjustment of
this valve regulates the pump discharge pressure.
Filter IN/OUT Pressure Gauges: Gauges that display the water pressure before and a er the sediment prefi lter. Used to observe
the pressure drop through the sediment prefi lter (a means of detec ng fi lter clogging or loading).
Flow Control: A fi xed orifi ce that controls the amount of water fl owing across the membrane to drain. This controls the ra o for
product water to waste water and either comes at a 4:1 or 2:1 ra o depending on how the system was specifi ed.
Low Pressure Switch: An electrical switch that shuts off the unit in the event of low feed water pressure. This is used as a pump
protec on device. This is factory set to cut off at 12 psi (0.8 bar).
Membrane/Vessel (Desalinator): Separates dissolved solids from the feed water. This assembly consists of a stainless steel pressure vessel that houses the thin-fi lm, reverse osmosis (RO) membrane.
Prefi lter, Carbon: A 10 micron Eco-Green carbon block prefi lter that removes chlorine prior to entering the membrane.
Prefi lter, Sediment: A pleated fi lter that prevents undissolved par cles larger than 5 micron, from entering the system.
Product Water Check Valve: A one-way valve that prevents pressurized product water from fl owing back into the desalinator
(and possibly damaging the membrane) when the system is off .
Pump/Motor: The rotary posi ve displacement pump boosts water pressure in the desalinator up to 150 psi (10.3 bar) for low
energy membranes to ensure high solids rejec on and high fl ow rates.
Solenoid Valve: Electrically operated valve that prevents water from fl owing through the system when it is not in opera on.
Vessel Pressure IN/OUT Gauges: Gauges that display the opera ng pressure before and a er the RO membrane (used to observe
drop in membrane pressure indica ng fouling or clogging).
TDS Monitor: Simultaneously reports the feed and product water TDS in ppm. Includes op onal alarm func on. A low PPM limit
can be programmed so the system shuts down if PPM’s go above set point.

Pre-InstallaƟ on Procedures
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PROCEDURES CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR SYSTEM AND VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
Packaging
Upon delivery, inspect packaging and report any damage to your carrier immediately. A er unpacking the system,
inspect it carefully for signs of damage. All damage claims should be made to the delivery carrier.
OperaƟ ng Parameters
The SuperLogic 1500 system may only be used on potable water. The user must be sure that water to be treated is both microbiologically safe and non-toxic. Ensure that the opera ng parameters outlined on page 3 are met at the installa on site. Items of most
importance are TDS, feed water pressure, fl ow rate, chlorine level and temperature range. A water analysis is helpful in determining
if any pre-treatment is needed. If your water analysis shows levels of substances in excess of the maximums, contact HydroLogic for
pre-treatment recommenda ons. Contact HydroLogic to inquire about a detailed water analysis.
InstallaƟ on/Start up Procedure
PLEASE READ CAREFULLY. FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE PROCEDURES CAN RESULT IN DAMAGE TO YOUR SYSTEM AND VOID YOUR
WARRANTY.
LocaƟ on
Locate the system where it will be protected from harsh condi ons such as rain, snow, direct sunlight and extreme temperatures
(both hot and cold). The SuperLogic 1500 system can be located just about anywhere there is a water supply and electrical outlet.
This system is equipped with casters and may be rolled to diff erent loca ons for opera on. Keep in mind, however, that the system
should be out of normal traffi c pa erns yet accessible for daily monitoring and service.
Plumbing
(Figure 1 - Flow Diagram)
Always abide by local plumbing codes when installing the system.
Water Supply ConnecƟ on
Connect feed water supply line to the female garden hose connector. Many other inlet fi ng op ons are available through Hydro-
Logic. If the supply water is being drawn from a non-pressurized source (gravity feed), contact Hydrologic for addi onal informa on.
Minimum inlet pressure is 40 psi. If your inlet psi is below 40 contact HydroLogic for further informa on.
Drain ConnecƟ on
Connect a 3/8” line from the quick connect elbow marked DRAIN to an appropriate drain point. A quick connect drain saddle is available as an op on from HydroLogic and can be plumbed directly into the main train of a sink. Be sure to check your local plumbing
codes to see if an air gap between the system and the drain is required.
Product ConnecƟ on
The product water connec on to the storage tank should not be made un l the system is fl ushed and tested as outlined below.
Tank ConnecƟ on (For Non-Pressurized Tanks Only)
When using a non-pressurized storage tank, connect the 3/8” tubing marked PRODUCT to the tank. Use an op onal electronic fl oat
switch to shut down the system when the tank is full and start the system when water level is low. Quick connect bulk head fi ngs
are available to connect the product line to your tank. Contact HydroLogic for this and other op ons available.

Electrical
(Figure 2 - Electrical Diagram)
WARNING! THE SYSTEM CAN START AT ANY TIME WHEN POWER IS CONNECTED. DO NOT CONNECT POWER UNTIL THE SYSTEM IS
COMPLETELY INSTALLED AND READY TO RUN.
The SuperLogic 1500 system is built with a standard 115v three-prong plug. Be sure the receptacle you use is on a circuit that
has a Ground Fault Interrupter (GFCI) and has suffi cient capacity for the opera ng current as listed in the system specifi ca ons. It is
recommended that the system be installed on a dedicated circuit to prevent overloading on system start-up.
Op onal External Float Switch Wiring (For non-pressurized tanks only)
A piggy-back connector is supplied with the system. Please see addi onal installa on informa on included with the fl oat switch.

System Flush and Performance Verifi caƟ on
Although SuperLogic 1500 systems are fully tested at the factory prior to shipping, it is recommended to fl ush and verify your
system’s performance on-site.
Flushing
New membranes are shipped with a preserva ve that needs to be fl ushed out before use. Run the product line to drain while fl ush-
ing the system.
• Fully open the brine/concentrate recircula on valve by turning the knob counterclockwise.
• Turn on water supply to the unit and check for leaks at the pre fi lter housings and the feed connec ons.
• Plug the system into a compa ble electrical outlet. CAUTION! THE SYSTEM WILL START and rapidly cycle, star ng and stop-
ping un l the membrane vessels are full of water and water starts fl owing out of the product and brine ports.
• A er the system has run for a few minutes to clear any air, turn the brine/concentrate recircula on valve clockwise
un l the “vessel in” pressure gauge reads 120 psi (8.3 bar).
• Allow the system to fl ush for one hour with all water discharged to drain. Periodically check for leaks and
check the “vessel in” pressure gauge. It is likely that the vessel pressure will dri from 120 psi (8.3 bar) during the fl ushing.
If it does, turn brine/concentrate recircula on valve clockwise to increase pressure and counterclockwise to decrease
pressure.
• The recircula on valve will need to be adjusted when membranes are replaced or if there are seasonal changes in water
temperature that cause the pump pressure to dri by 10 psi or more.
• The 120 psi pressure provides the best compromise of membrane performance and life me while maintaining pump and
motor longevity. The system can operate above 120 psi and up to a maximum of 150 psi. Inlet water temperature and TDS
can eff ect the fl ow rate of purifi ed water and in situa ons with low water temperatures and/or high TDS increased pressure
may be necessary to achieve desired fl ow rates of purifi ed water.
*** DO NOT LET SYSTEM PRESSURE RISE ABOVE 150 PSI (10.3 BAR) AS DAMAGE TO THE SYSTEM CAN OCCUR***
Performance Verifi caƟ on
Factory test data is supplied with the system. To ensure op mal performance, on-site data should be taken and compared to the fac-
tory test data. This data should be taken a er the system has been fl ushed for one hour. Some devia ons may be seen due to
diff erences in feed water TDS and temperature between the site and factory. If you have already connected the product line to the
tank, you will need to disconnect it to take product samples.
Flow Tests
Determine the fl ow rates for both product and brine. Put the product line into a container and measure the volume of water that
fl ows into it in one minute. Repeat the process with the brine (drain) line. These values should be in either gallons per minute or
milliliters per minute. Product fl ow rates (at 77°F, 25°C) should be within 15% of the produc on rates given in the system specifi ca-
ons.
Product to Brine/Concentrate RaƟ o
Compute the product to brine ra o by dividing the brine fl ow rate by the product fl ow rate. This ra o should be either 4:1 or 2:1
± 30%. The 30% varia on can be due to inlet water temperature being above or below 77 degrees ferenheit as well as inlet TDS be-
ing above or below 500 PPM.
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) rejecƟ on
Using the TDS monitor, note the TDS in both the feed water and the product water.
Calculate percent rejec on using the formula: (Feed TDS-Product TDS) ÷ (Feed TDS) × 100 = % Rejec on
Rejec on should be 85% or be er. For example, where the feed TDS is 600 and the product TDS is 24, the
percent rejec on is: (600-24) ÷ 600 × 100 = 96%

Low Pressure Switch Test
While the system is running, shut off the water supply to the system. The system should shut off . If the system does not shut off a er
ten seconds, either unplug the system or restore the water supply to the system. Call HydroLogic to diagnose problem.
DO NOT LET THE SYSTEM RUN WITHOUT THE WATER SUPPLY TURNED ON. PUMP DAMAGE WILL OCCUR.
Tank ConnecƟ on
Make the tank connec on as outlined on page 8.
OpƟ onal Float Switch Test (for non-pressurized tanks)
The system should run when the fl oat is hanging down by the power cord. Tilt fl oat up so the power cord is at the bo om of the
fl oat. The unit should shut off . If unit does not shut off , re-check installa on procedure.
OperaƟ on and Maintenance
SuperLogic 1500 systems are designed for simple opera on with li le user interven on. We recommend keeping accurate
performance records and following a regular preventa ve maintenance schedule to maximize the life of your system.
Daily System Checks
Your water supply pressure can vary from me to me. This can also aff ect your system opera ng pressure. Check
and adjust your vessel pressure daily to ensure maximum water produc on rates and quality. Check both the prefi lter in pressure
gauge and pre fi lter out pressure gauge. Under normal condi ons, there should be a 3-5 psi diff erence
between the two gauges. When the diff erence reaches 10 psi it is recommended to change your pre-fi lters.
Monthly System Checks
In addi on to the daily checks, it is recommended to repeat the procedure in the sec on on Performance Verifi ca on
and record all data on a performance record sheet.
Semi-Annual Service
It is recommended to change both sediment and carbon fi lter cartridges at least every six months. Carbon cartridges
should be changed more o en if bad taste and/or odor becomes evident. Sediment cartridge should be changed more o en if water
supply pressure and fi lter pressure gauges diff er by 10 psi or more.
Peripheral Equipment
Peripheral equipment such as tanks also have periodic maintenance requirements. It is essen al to maintain these as they can have a
drama c eff ect on the performance of your system. Refer to their specifi c manuals for proper maintenance procedures.

Filter/Membrane Replacement Schedule
Sediment pre-fi lter - The 5 micron sediment fi lter is pleated and can be rinsed with a garden hose. You can rinse as o en as needed
but it is recommended to replace this fi lter every 6 months. If you observe a 10 psi drop in the pre-fi lter out gauge from the psi in the
pre-fi lter in gauge this indicates a clog in the sediment fi lter and you should either rinse it or replace it.
Carbon Pre-Filter - The 10 micron carbon fi lter is rated at 2 PPM chlorine removal and should be changed according to the schedule
below:
@ 4:1 ra o replace every 25,000 gallons of product water
@ 2:1 ra o replace every 15,000 gallons of product water
An -Scale Pre-Filter - Should be replace every me the carbon fi lter is replaced
Membrane - Upon startup the vessel in gauge should read 120 while the vessel out gauge will always read approximately 10 psi less
or 110 psi. When the vessel out gauge reads 20 psi lower than the vessel in gauge, or 100 psi, this indicates when to change your
membrane.

Thank you for purchasing HM Digital’s PS-200. The PS-200 is a panel mount total dissolved solids (TDS)
controller that monitors and controls levels of TDS in water. The controller has a maximum set point to
help maintain a limit of TDS allowed in the product water, as well as a second sensor to monitor the TDS
level of the feed water. If the TDS level rises to the set point, the controller will activate a warning light,
sound an alarm (optional) and switch the dry contact position from the normal position (to operate a
valve, pump, etc.). Once the TDS level drops below the set point, this will deactivate the light and alarm
and switch the contacts back to the normal position (normally open or closed). NOTE: The IN mode &
sensor does not have an alarm nor control set point. It is a monitor only.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
USAGE INSTRUCTIONS
1. Remove the contents from the box.
2. Insert the controller into the panel. A square hole must be cut into the panel with dimensions
of 2-11/16 in. x 2-11/16 in. (68 mm x 68 mm). Page 8 includes a cut-out diagram.
3. Mount the controller to the panel by inserting the mounting brackets into the grooves on the
bottom and top of the controller. Fasten the brackets with the included screws.
4. View the contact diagram on the side of the controller (also on page 8).
5. Do NOT connect to a power source yet! Connect the black power cord to the contacts
#8 & #9 (110 V - 230V). It does not matter which color wire is connected to the
contacts. Screw in tight with a Phillips head screwdriver. (Note – If in the U.S. (or a country
that uses Type A or B plugs/sockets), connect the included plug adapter to the power cord).
6. If using a pump, valve, etc., connect a relay wire (not included) to contacts #13 and #14 for a
normally open (N.O.) position OR to contacts #12 and #13 for a normally closed (N.C.) position.
7. Connect a gray sensor cable by attaching the white wire to contact #1, the red to #2, and the
black to #3.
8. Connect the second sensor cable by attaching the white wire to contact #5, the red to #6, and
the black to #7. The cables are identical and can be swapped.
9. Align the pins of each sensor to each cable and attach. Screw the tightening ring closed. The
sensors are identical and can be swapped. Note which sensor is now the IN sensor and which is
the OUT sensor.
10. Insert each sensor electrode into a female ½” NPTF threaded tting.
11. Attach the tting connected to the OUT sensor to the product water.
12. Attach the tting connected to the IN sensor to the feed water.
13. Ensure the orientation of the sensor is perpendicular to the ow of the water. Water
should ow equally over both pins. (If using a T, if you look through the top of the T, you
should see both pins equally side-by-side. If using the sensor in a tank, ensure that there are
no air bubbles trapped between the pins or in a tting.)
14. To DISCONNECT the audible alarm, disconnect the blue wire from contacts #10 and #11.
15. Plug the power cord into an electrical outlet. The controller does not have a power switch
and will automatically power on when the power is connected.

years from date of purchase. Some states do not allow limitations on how long an
implied warranty lasts, so the above limitation may not apply to you. To the extent any
provision of this warranty is prohibited by federal and state law and cannot be
preempted, it shall not be applicable. This warranty gives you specic legal rights, and
you may also have other rights, which vary from state to state.
NOTE: Warranties are product-specic. Third-party products and products deemed by
HM Digital as "accessories" are not covered under warranty. Third-party products and
accessories include, but are not limited to, batteries, fuses, mounting brackets, plug
adaptors and ttings.
IMPORTANT: Double-check your contacts prior to connecting the controller to a
power source. Incorrect connections could result in shorting out the unit.
1. The controller will turn on when the power cord is plugged into an electrical outlet.
2. Open the cover on the front of the controller by gently pulling down.
3. There is only one display for both the IN mode (feed water) and OUT mode (product water).
The OUT mode is the default. To view the TDS level of the feed water, press the “IN MODE”
button. The display will switch to the feed water. NOTE: The display will automatically switch
back to the product water TDS after ve seconds. To view the feed water display for longer,
press and hold the “IN MODE” button.
4. To turn o the controller, unplug it from the electrical outlet.
Setting the Control Set Point
1. To set the control set point (to activate a device via the relay), press the SET button once.
The EC reading will switch to a ashing number (the current set point).
2. Press the UP or DOWN buttons until the desired set point is reached. Pressing once will ad vance the reading by a single digit. Press and hold the button to advance the reading quickly.
3. Press the SET button again. This will save the set point to memory.
4. If the EC level reaches the saved set point, the controller will switch the contacts from the
normal position (either normally open or normally closed), thereby operating the pump,
solenoid valve, or other device attached to contacts #12 & 13 or #13 & 14.
5. Once the EC level falls below the set point, the contacts will switch back to the normal
position.
6. The alarm (if connected) will sound continuously while the EC level is over the set point.
The only way to turn it o is by lowering the EC level below the set point or disconnect ing the blue wire from contacts #5 and #11.
Problem Potential Solution(s)
The controller will not power on.
Incorrect readings.
The relay control does not work.
TROUBLESHOOTING
1. Check to ensure the connections are correct (doublecheck 110V vs. 220V).
2. Check to ensure the power cable is plugged in.
1. Try to recalibrate the controller. Note that the calibration should be done with a tting on (if using a tting).
2. Check for interference caused by other machinery or
electronics (near the controller or cables).
1. Double-check the connections for contacts #12, 13 & 14.
2. Make sure that the set point is properly set.
Calibration
Your controller was factory calibrated to 342 ppm (NaCl). This level is suitable for most tap
water/ltered water applications, so it is ready to use out of the box. However, you may need
to re-calibrate based on your needs, as well as from time-to-time to ensure best results.
To calibrate:
1. Obtain a certied calibration solution that is correct for your needs. The calibration
solution should be NaCl. HM Digital’s 342 ppm NaCl is recommended.
2. Calibrate to the OUT sensor. This will calibrate both sensors simultaneously.
3. Check the controller against the calibration solution. Prior to inserting the sensor into the
calibration solution, be sure the sensor is dry and free of any TDS residue. If the reading
on the controller does not match the calibration value, you will need to re-calibrate. If
using a tting, calibrate with the tting on the sensor. (See step 5 for additional informa tion regarding the calibration value.)
4. For better accuracy, calibrate to a owing solution. If this is not possible, you can
calibrate to a still solution. Ensure the tting is completely lled with solution and there
are no air bubbles. This step is critical for proper calibration.
5. If the reading on the controller does not match the solution, adjust the reading up or
down by gently turning the trimmer pot calibration screw on the face of the unit (marked
as “ADJUST”) clockwise or counterclockwise to raise or lower the reading.
6. If calibrating to a still (not owing) solution, calibrate to 3% above the level of the calibra tion solution. This will accomodate for the lack of owing water, which the controller is
programmed for. For example, if the calibration solution is 342 ppm, adjust the screw
until it reads 352 ppm. If you are calibrating to a owing solution, calibrate to the level of
the solution.
7. Gently release the screwdriver from the trimmer pot.
8. Your controller is now calibrated. There is no need to do anything else.
The display shows “Err”.
1. The TDS level of the water is out of the controller’s range.
2. The sensor is not connected.
3. The sensor is dirty or damaged.
The display shows the feed water
TDS level, instead of the product.
1. The sensors are reversed. Connect the sensor for the
feed water to the IN sensor contacts, and the sensor for
the product water water to the IN sensor contacts.
If troubleshooting does not solve the problem, please contact HM Digital for assistance. If your controller
is still under warranty, please return the controller to HM Digital for repair or replacement (see page 6).
Sensor Replacement
If your sensor has been damaged, you can purchase a new one (model SP-1) without the need
to purchase a new controller.
Contact your authorized HM Digital distributor for a replacement sensor. If you cannot locate
an HM Digital distributor, contact HM Digital at info@hmdigital.com
