1.3Intended Use
The equipment is intended for the conditioning of untreated water into drinking water .
The retention degree of harmful chemical substances and biological pathogens or contaminants
is very high.
The quality of the produced drinking water ultimately depends on the contamination degree and
salt content of the untreated water .
- Prior to the initial starting of operation, we recommend carrying out an analysis of the
untreated water .
- Continuous drinking-water quality can be ensured only when the equipment is controlled
regularly.
- The respective national or international drinking water regulations are to be observed.
Under consideration of these rules of conduct, water produced from this system can quite safely
be classified as drinking water.

1.4Safety Instructionse
1.4.1Quality of the Untreated Water
Sufficient quality of the untreated water must be ensured!
Faultless drinking water is achieved only when all filters of the equipment are
maintained regularly .
1.4.2Chlorination of Drinking Water
When applying post chlorination, the limit values set by national laws must be maintained. The chemicals used have a caustic and fire-promoting effect.
Dangers:
- Danger of fire in case of contact with combustible materials.
- Toxic gas develops when coming in contact with acids.
- Heat or direct sunlight decomposes the chemical: Chlorine and oxygen are released.
- Caustic effects to the eyes, skin and respiratory system result.
Safety Instructions:
- Wear acid-resistant protective equipment (goggles, gloves) and when dust is produced,
breathing mask protection with a filter.
- Keep an eye wash bottle (small) readily available.
- Provide for adequate room ventilation and a washing facility.
- Store the chemicals in a cool, dry place, not below 5 °C.
- Store chemicals in a location out of the reach of children.
In Case of Accidents:
- In case of contact with the eyes, rinse immediately and thoroughly with fresh water and
consult a doctor.
- Use water to extinguish; avoid impact and friction.
- If solutions are spilt, flush the area with a sufficient amount of fresh water .
1.4.3Disposal of Chemicals
It is generally recommended to admit resulting disinfection solutions, preservation solutions, etc.
into a neutralizing system.
If this should not be possible, the disinfection solution, after clarification with the relevant
authority (mayor’s office, district administration office, etc.) is to be neutralized and can
afterwards be led into the public sewer system.

3.2.1First fill of the metering tanks
The first time they are filled, the metering tanks are filled with 30 litres of chlorine-free water.
This is taking from the reverse osmosis at the drinking water sampling tap (1/12).
For the first fill of the metering tank, the system is switched to disinfection mode and set to the
following flow rates:
- Drinking water: 100 l/h
- Concentrate: 600 l/h
CAUTION
Use the prescribed system yield (50% or 75%) and the water analysis to determine each of the
chemical quantities for a 30 litre metering solution according to Chap. 3.2 to 3.5, add to the tanks
and mix well.
Switch the system to operation mode.
3.2.2 Pre-chlorination
CAUTION
1.Take the system yield (50% or 75%) from the evaluation of the untreated water analysis.
2.Take the analysis values for iron (Fe), manganese (Mn) and ammonium (NH3 or NH4 ) in mg/l
from the untreated water analysis.
3.Iron content:____ x 0,4 = ______
During the disinfection operating mode, all confirmation queries are switched off!
Observe the pressure downstream of the fine filer: as soon as it is less than 2 bar
pressure, immediately switch off the system. The high-pressure pump is running dry!
Only use drinking water to dilute the original chlorine product upstream of the

3.2.3Antiscalant
The drinking water for the metering solution is taken from the sampling tap for drinking
water (1/4.21).
The antiscalant metering quantity can be set with a very good approximation using the following
table. The optimum quantity can only be calculated using a calculation program after a precise
water analysis has been carried out. The typical metering range lies between 2 and 5 mg/l.
Where water hardnesses are higher than 28°dH, special design is necessary.
If this design is not possible, the following setting is recommended: 5 mg/l RM5000 and 50%
yield, until the precise design is available.

3.2.4 Metering Amounts and Mixing of the Post Chlorination
The chlorine quantity given matches a chlorine content of 0.3mg/l in the drinking water.
The following quantities of RM 852 or calcium hypochlorite are each required for 10 litres of
metering solution:
- RM 852 Sterilization Agent:32 ml
- Chlorinated Lime:17 ml (= 18 g)
Example: 75 litres ready mixed metering solution (one metering tank) consists of 7.5 x 32 = 240 ml
RM 852 or 7.5 x 17 = 128ml (=136 g) calcium hypochlorite and chlorine-free drinking water
(cf. Chapter 3.2.3 for extraction).
The quantities must be adjusted accordingly for higher or lower chlorine contents.
Example: Chlorine content: 1.2 mg/l
- RM 852:4 x 32 ml = 128 ml
- Chlorinated Lime:4 x 17 = 68 ml
3.2.5Flocculation Agent
The exact demand in flocculents can only be determined by test. Therefore a test solution is
mixed first, then the raw water is flocked and finally the dosing quantity is evaluated.
3.2.5.1Mixing of the flocking test solution
Auxiliaries:
- Measuring cup with 500-ml-scale 6.277-001.0 (within service kit)
- Desalinated water (refill water for car batteries)
- Flocculent RM 5001 6.294-716.0 resp. 6.294-703
- Measuring cup 25 ml 6.394-425.0 (within service kit)
- Dropping bottle 50 ml,PE 6.394-426.0 (within service kit)
- Plastic eating spoon.
Work Steps:
1.Give 25 ml flocculent RM 5001 into measuring cup
2.Fill up with desalinated water to 500 ml
3.Stir up thoroughly with plastic eating spoon
4.Give 50 ml of this into a clean dropping bottle, close bottle
5.Cast away the remainder.

Service Handbook 08.2004
WTC 600 LP / MPOPERATION OF THE SYSTEM
3.2.5.2Perform flocking test
Auxiliaries:
- Transparent cup, 1 litre with marking at 0.5 litre 6.277-001.0
- Dropping bottle with test solution 6.394-426.0
- Plastic eating spoon.
Work Steps:
1.Measure pH-value of water, has to be between 6 and 9
2.Pour 0.5 Liter raw water into cup
3.Give 10 drops of flocking test solution into spoon
4.Fill flocking test solution into cup, at this stir strongly for 5 seconds
5.Leave cup: flocking has to start within 1 minute and settle significantly.
NOTE
If analysis is not possible on the spot, take out 2 litres of test solution and store in refrigerator at
ca. 4°C until analysis. Cooling maintains cloudiness by suspended matter.
NOTE
3.2.5.3Evaluate flocking test
Adjustment of dosing pump flocking means:
- Stroke: 40%
- Frequency: 70%.
The required amount of flocculation agent RM 5001 is then calculated as follows:
- For 50% yield: number of drops x 120 = ml RM 5001 per 10 litres metering solution
- For 75% yield: number of drops x 80 = ml RM 5001 per 10 litres metering solution
If no flockung has start repeat test and change quantity of flocking test solution (first
more test solution, if not successful repeat with less test solution).
Shake well before measurement in labor atory.
Calculation example:
The flocculation test gave 11 drops of flocculation test solution to 500ml up to ideal flocculation,
the yield is 75%:
11 drops x 80 = 880 ml RM 5001 per 10 litres of metering solution

3.4.2.1Initial Filling
Remove the central control valve and position the central pipes with the lower nozzle in the
middle of the tank floor. Fill the tank up to a third with water. Place the filling funnel (4.901-090.0)
in the opening and fill the filter bed with a shovel (6.812-049.0) in accordance with T ab le 15:
Table 15Completely fill the tank with water
Align the central pipe in the middle of the container opening and reinsert the central control valve
again after removing the cover. Connect the hydraulic connections again.
3.4.2.2Starting Operation
After filling, the filters must be backwashed. For this the complete system is to be connected
hydraulically and electrically, and to be switched on at the main switch. The reverse osmosis
system must be in the Switched Off operating mode (compare 3.4.3 – 3.4.5). The
backwashing is initiated manually with the MANUAL REGEN pushbutton (15/4) and takes
approx. 15 minutes. The procedure can be followed on the display of the controller:
- Step 1C: Backwashing; duration approx. 10 min
- Step 2C and 3C:Without function
- Step 4C: Initial filtration; duration approx. 3 min
Afterwards the filter is ready for operation.
3.4.2.3Backwashing / Regeneration
For cleaning of the filters, the flow direction of the water is reversed so that the settled debris
particles are moved to the outlet of the flushing water.
The filters are equipped with different devices for actuation of backwashing:
Activated carbon filter:
- Time-controlled:1 x per nightStandard: 2:30 a.m.
- Manually:any time
Media filter:
- Pressure difference:upon contamination of the filterStandard: 1 bar difference
- Time-controlled:1 x per nightStandard: 2:00 a.m.

NOTE
Service Handbook 08.2004
Dispose of the conservation solution according to the regulations.
If the WTC 600 is shutdown for a lengthy period, the pre-filters have to be drained. this prevents
bacterial growth and the filter material from caking as well as frost damage.
Work steps:
1.Back-wash both pre-filters to remove any air from the containers.
The first back-washing step can be aborted after one minute by pressing the "manual
regeneration" key, the 4th step can be skipped by pressing the "manual regeneration" key.
2.Interrupt the untreated water supply, depressurise the filter.
3.Undo hose 6.390-962.0 from the hose nozzle at the outlet of the activated carbon filter.
4.Attach a connection hose to this hose nozzle and screw tight with a hose clamp.
5.Fix the other end of the connection hose to the filter control heads.
6.Keep the untreated water supply open until water comes out of the connection hose.
7.Interrupt the untreated water supply and undo the screw fitting at the media filter inlet (of the
AM version) or the activated carbon filter inlet (A version).
8.Quickly place the end of the connection hose in a discharge which is lower than the WTC 600
system: the filters are levered out (if necessar y, repeat steps 5-8).

1General
1.1General Remarks
The present Manual is the technical documentation of the RO 1000 control system for reverse
osmosis units.
When studying this manual, it would be useful to have the control system ready for operation so
that you can directly try to realize the explained items and functions. As some of the modules
are directly related to other ones, it is recommended to follow the given order of the different
chapters.
Should there arise any problems or questions during the operation of the control system, please
ask for our advice and assistance. Please try to localize the problem as exactly as possible and
to record any actions or conditions which caused the problem; this will enable us to help you as
quickly as possible.
The supplier does not accept any liability with regard to any faults contained in this
documentation. Under no circumstances whatsoever a liability for any damages related directly
or indirectly to the delivery and use of this documentation is accepted.
1.2Scope of Application
The RO 1000 system is a control system for reverse osmosis units of different sizes. Its
technical features are:
– Microprocessor control with liquid crystal text display and keyboard covered with a protective
film.
– LED displays for operation, malfunction, disinfection, disposal, regeneration and tank full
– Circuit inputs: regeneration, motor protection (available by Limitent contact), pressure switch,
min. permeate level as well as max. permeate level
– Relay outputs: inlet valve, outlet valve, concentrate valve, system pump as well as alarm
– Conductivity sensor for permeate, optional 2 to 200 µS/cm, resolution: 0.2%, accuracy: 1%,
temperature compensation with integrated sensor
– Self-explanatory menu-assisted operator environment
– All settings and adjustments via keyboard/text display, no mechanical adjustments
(potentiometers, trimmers, switches, plug-in bridges)
– Any process time can be set
– Preselection for tank type (with/without overflow), hardwater production (admissible/not
admissible), concentrate displacement/disposal
– Hour meter with maintenance interval message
– Protection against improper acknowledgement of failures
– Permanent display of measured values
– T wo-point calibration
– T echnical diagnostic function
Service Handbook 08.2004

APPENDIXWTC 600 LP / MP
1.3Instructions for Use
The following instructions should be followed when operating the control system:
– Do not switch on/off the control system in quick succession. Wait at least 5 seconds between
switching the main switch on and off.
– The control system should only be operated under the ambient conditions (temperature,
humidity) mentioned in the technical data (see item 5). It is particularly important to protect the
control system against water and humidity. It must not come into contact with splash water or
condensed water.
– Manufacturer's seals (trimmer fixation, EPROM labels) must not be damaged. Otherwise the
right to assert claims for defect shall lapse.
– Should the control system become defective, take note of the type of problem
(consequences) before removing the system. The system can only be repaired if it is
completely removed and the failure correctly described.
– The max. admissible load of the circuit outputs as well as the total admissible load of the unit
(see item 5) must not be exceeded.
1.4Safety Instructions
The following safety instructions are imperative:
– Diagnosis (see item 3.3) allows direct manipulation of all actuatores (valves, pumps,.etc.)
without interlocks or monitoring. Access to this function therefore requires a password and
only should be used by the experts.
– Should the control system not react in the normal way, it has to be switched off immediately
and the maintenance service has to be informed.
– Do not try to repair the control system yourself (loss of guarantee), always call the authorized
maintenance staff. Only this will guarantee a reliable and safe function of the system.
– When a protection device was activated (fuse, motor circuit breaker) you should first try to
clear the problem (e.g. clean the pump) before reactivating the protection device. Frequent
actuation always is due to a sensor/actuator failure which also could damage the control
system itself.
Non-observance of these instructions may cause damage to the control system and the unit
which may result in a loss of warranty.

APPENDIXWTC 600 LP / MP
2Installation/Start-up
2.1Basic Requirements for System Installation
The following remarks have to be observed during installation and connection of the RO 1000
unit:
– The connected consumers must not exceed the max. admissible loads of the circuit outputs
as well as the total output of the unit (see item 5) (in case of inductive loads, the phase angles
have to be taken into account).
– All inductive consumers (valves, motors, contactors, transformers) of the unit have to be
provided with suitable interference suppressors (RC element, var istor, diode)
– Should other devices with a high mains-borne interference level be installed in the
surroundings of the control system, suitable external interference suppressors (line filters)
have to be installed at the supply voltage input.
– The clamps must not be actuated with too much force.
– The screw-less terminal clamps are suitable for single-core and fine core conductors (without
sleeves) of up to 0.5mm2 (for sensor and analog output terminals) and up to 2.5 mm2
respectively (all further terminals). According to the manufacturer's instructions it is not
necessary to use core sleeves.
– All assembly activities have to be done in accordance with the corresponding VDE
regulations.
2.2Start-up
For the first start-up of the unit after its installation, the below-mentioned steps have to be carried
out in the given order. Should the control system not operate in the described manner or if
other malfunctions are discovered, the electric supply has to be interrupted immediately
(and repaired by the manufacturer).
1.Install control and fix all terminal clamps. It has to be taken into account that the softener
output is not protected by fuses. A short-circuit at this output may therefore destroy the
conductor lines.
2.Switch on mains supply voltage è after at most 5 sec a text has to be displayed on the LC
display (otherwise switch off è repair).
3.Carry out diagnostic program (see item 3.3) and test all inputs and outputs of the control unit.
Should the fuse on the pc-board become active, one of the valve outputs is short-circuited.
4.Set operating modes and parameters (see item 4).
5.Calibrate sensors (see item 4.4.2).

3.2Operating parameters
When the control system is switched on, the following four operating modes exist:
STOP
The control system does not carry out any production process. All outputs remain inactive.
Failures are not registered.
OPERATION
The control system fulfills the production in accordance with the respective operating conditions
in the unit. As long as the unit status is
DISPLACEMENT/FLUSH or DISCONTINUOUS RINSE, the current operating data
(conductivity, temperature, etc.) are displayed one after the other (rolling). Failures are
registered, processed and displayed.
DISPOSAL, PRODUCTION ON, CONCENTRATE
DISINFECTION
The control system does not carry out any production process, but INLET V ALVE, OUTLET
VALVE as well as the PUMP are switched on so that a disinfection can be carried out. No
failures are registered.
DIAGNOSIS
The DIAGNOSIS is called via the main menue (see item 4.4.1). For diagnosis purposes, all
control outputs can be manipulated via the keyboard and the input status (analog/digital) can be
displayed (see item 4.4.5).
Attention: Failures are not registered/displayed.
The current operating mode is maintained when the system is switched off, that means the
control system will be in the same operating mode which was running when the system was
switched off.

3.4Operating conditions
When the unit is in OPERATION the control system performs one of the seven possible
operating conditions. The following diagram shows the various conditions as well as the reasons
for status changes. For that purpose an error-free sequence of operations is assumed.

Service Handbook 08.2004
WTC 600 LP / MPAPPENDIX
3.5Operating failures/failure messages
The control system is able to detect operating failures dur ing
OPERATION and DISINFECTION
and to display them. Usually, the unit will be stopped if a failure occurs. However, operating
settings exist for the failures
CY EXCEEDED and HARDWATER which make it possible that
such a failure is only displayed without interruption of the production. During the operating mode
DISINFECTION, only a MOTOR FAILURE can be detected.
The different operating failures/failure messages as well as their reasons and consequences are
as follows:

MAINTENANCE
When the preset maintenance interval is over, the LED display OPERATION starts to flash (but
only if control system is in the operating conditions
DISPOSAL, PRODUCTION ON,
CONCENTRATE DISPLACEMENT/FLUSH or DISCONTINUOUS RINSE. This alar m message
can only be switched off by a technician who has then to enter a new maintenance interval (see
item 4.4.4).
Besides the above mentioned failures also other types of failure exist. These are erroneous
calibration ranges (failure message on text display), internal system failures (flashing FAILURE
light) and initialization failures (EEPROM fail message in text display immediately after having
switched the system on or during operation). As these failures correspond to malfunctions which
the user cannot repair, the supplier has to be inf ormed immediately if such f ailures occur.
ATTENTION !!! As an internal system failure will interrupt program run, failures will not be
monitored. Such a control system must not be used any more.

4Operation
4.1User interface
The user interface of the RO 1000 consists of a text display (16x2 characters), a keyboard
covered with a protective film (6 keys) and 7 indicator lights.
4.1.1Indicator lights
The indicator lights correspond to the most important operating conditions of the unit.
The control system has the following indicator lights:
OPERATION
Active, if the control system is in the operating mode OPERATION and if at least one pump is
switched on. This indicator light will be a flashing light (instead of a continous light) if the set
maintenance interval has run out.
FAILURE
Active, if there is an operating trouble. In this case, the reason is displayed. In case of Cy alarm
the failure LED flashes. Should the trouble light flash immediately after having the control system
switched on, the reason is an internal system failure (see item 3.5).
DISINFECTION
Active, if the control system is in the operating mode DISINFECTION.
DISPOSAL
Active, if the control system is in the operating condition DISPOSAL.
FORCED STOP
Active, if the FORCED STOP input is activated and if the control system is in the operating
mode
OPERATION.
TANK FULL
Active, if the TANK FULL input is activated.
4.1.2Keyboard
The control system has keys for the functions UP Ï, DOWN Ð, LEFT Í, RIGHT Î, ENTER
Í as well as ESC (on the equipment keyboard, symbols/arrows are used to identify some of
them). They allow to call via the menu all functions and to modify the system settings/
parameters.
4.1.3Te xt display
The purpose of the LC text display is to indicate, besides the indicator lights, the current
operating mode or the current unit condition respectively (normal level); it also serves for the
(menu-assisted) user communication for control system settings (user/technician level).
80
Service Handbook 08.2004
WTC 600 LP / MPAPPENDIX
4.2Basic elements
The whole user surface of the control system is composed by basis functions such as
password entry, menu selection, selection of settings, numerical entries etc. The descr iption of
the basic functions will be followed by the operating elements of the menus for users/
techniciens.
4.2.1Password entry
The entry of the password is the only way to gain access from the normal level to the user/
technician level. User and technician have different passwords.
For user's password entry, the following keys have to be actuated in the normal level, within
one minute.
For technician's password entry, the following keys have to be actuated in the normal level,
within one minute.
ESC ESC
For technician's password entry, the following keys have to be actuated in the normal level,
within one minute.
4.2.2Selection of menu
A menu is used to select or call specific functions. It consists of several numerical menu points
(lines) listed one below the other. The text display of the control system always shows two of
these menu lines, that means it always displays a two-line section (window) of the whole menu.
If a function or a menu point has to be called in, the desired menu point has to be selected first
using the / keys. If the menu consists of more than two lines, the displayed section is
automatically displaced within the whole menu (scrolled), the selected menu point being marked
with arrows at the left and right sides of the display (e.g. ">9 settings<").
This selected menu point is called-in with the . key.
A menu is finished with the ESC key (return to normal level). At certain program points (settings,
calibrations, uncommitted input) nested menus appear . That means that the selection of a menu
point starts a further menu (sub-menu). In that case, the ESC key causes return to the
preceding menu.
4.2.3Selection
The selection serves to chose one out of different options (usually operating settings). When a
selection is called in (e.g. via a menu) the name of the selection appears in the upper display line
(operating settings), the lower line displays the current status (value). With the / keys all
further options can then be displayed. As soon as the key is pressed, the currently displayed
option is then accepted (stored) as new operating setting.
A selection can be interrupted with the ESC key without having carried out any modification.
Service Handbook 08.2004
81
APPENDIXWTC 600 LP / MP
4.2.4Multiselection
The multiselection allows to select various arguments simultaneously (for the purpose of this
paper, argument means an y type of setting).
In the lowest line of the text display appears for that purpose a chain of "0" and "1". Each one of
these characters represents an argument. A "0" argument is inactive, a "1" argument is active.
A curser (flashing block) can be moved with the Í/ Î keys between the different characters
(arguments), and the corresponding description of the argument then appears in the
upper display line (e.g. name of operating mode). An argument can be activated/inactivated with
the Ï / Ð key.
The current setting of all arguments is accepted/stored with the Í key.
4.2.5Numerical editing
The numerical editing is required to set the internal operating parameter and to enter the adjusted
values.
The procedure is the same as used for decade switches.
When numerical editing is called-in (e.g. via a menu), the name of the operating parameter/
adjusted value appears in the upper display line. The current value is displayed in the low er line.
A flashing block (cursor) always marks the figure which can be modified; this modification (new
setting) can be achieved with the Ï / Ð keys. Cursor displacement is achieved with the Í / Î
keys, so that other figures can be modified, too.
The displayed value is stored as new operating parameter when the Í key is actuated. The
ESC key allows to interrupt the procedure without any storage even if a new figure was entered.
4.2.6Alphanumerical editing
The alphanumerical editing is required to set the message text for the uncommitted input failure
message. The procedure is the same as for numerical editing (see item 4.2.4), with the
exception that the Ï / Ð keys do not only allow to select numbers but also letters (capital/small)
and special characters.
4.2.7Confirmations
Various menu activities require confirmations in order to avoid data entry errors. The user is
asked to confirm that modifications of operating settings/parameters and adjustments are
actually correct.
Confirmation is done with the Î key (select "yes") followed by the Í key. Otherwise, the
system will return to the level from which the function was called-in (e.g. menu) without any
consequences (no modification wil be stored).
82
Service Handbook 08.2004
WTC 600 LP / MPAPPENDIX
4.3Operating levels
Similar to the operating modes, the user surface has different operating levels:
Normal level:
In this level, the text display shows the operating mode, the operating condition, the current
measured values and operating values as well as special messages (maintenance message) by
means of different (scrolling) masks (see 4.3.1).
User level:
The user level (see 4.3.2) allo ws oper ation and setting of the most important functions and
operating settings/parameters respectively as well as the calibration of the conductivity sensors.
T echnician's le vel:
The technician's level is a extended user level: It allows to carry out the functions of the user
level, to manipulate Í all operating settings/parameters and to fulfil a hardware test by means of
a specific diagnostic function.
The different operating levels and their functions as well as the operating options and the
displayed texts (as far as possible) are described below.
4.3.1Normal level
According to the operating mode, the sequence of displays in the normal level is as follows:
The only operation which is admitted is the acknowledgement of a failure (only for psacknowledgment = without password); the purpose is to protect the control system against
unintentional/unauthorized manipulations. When the system is switched on, it always is in the
normal level, so that is also can be called the basic level.
Service Handbook 08.2004
83
APPENDIXWTC 600 LP / MP
4.3.2User's Level
Access to the user level is achieved by entering a user's password (see 4.2.1). This level allows
operation and setting of the most important functions and operating settings/parameters
respectively. The operating status is not displayed because display is used to represent the
menus to do selections and editing.
The functional scope corresponds to that of the main menu (see 4.4.1), but without the menu
points Setting and Diagnosis.
If there is no key actuation for more than 10 min. and provided that the current function does not
correspond to the display of measured values, the control system automatically returns to the
normal level for safety reasons.
4.3.3Technician's level
The technician's level is an expanded user level. It allows to fulfill the functions at user's level, to
manipulate all operating settings/parameters and to fulfill a hardware test by means of a
diagnostic function. The functional scope covers all menus and sub-menus (see 4.4.).
Access to the technician's level is similar to that to the user's level, that means a specific
password has to be entered (see 4.2.1). If there is no key actuation for more than 10 min. and
provided that current function does not correspond to the display of measured values or a
diagnostic process, the control system returns to the normal level.

4.4Menu structure
The menu structure of the user surface is shown below. Access to the main menu is achieved
by entering a pass word (see item 4.2.1).
Service Handbook 08.2004
85
APPENDIXWTC 600 LP / MP
4.4.1Main menu
The details of the different menu points of the main menu are described below.
Menu point:Function:
1 Ackn. failureThis menu point allows to acknowledge an operating failure
(the only possibility if ps acknowledgement = with password).
2 Operat. modeThis menu point allows to change the operating mode by means of a
selection. For safety purposes, selection only can be made between
STOP and OPERATION as well as STOP and DISINFECTION
respectively (direct change-over from OPERATION to DISINFECTION
is not possible).
2 Cy permeatePermanent display of current permeate conductivity. To leave this menu
point press one of the keys.
4 Temp. permeateP ermanent display of current permeat temperature. To leave this menu
point press one of the keys.
5 Hour meterCalling-in (display) of the operating hours meter .
6 Cy limitsNumerical entry of LIM and aaLIM.
7 Optional alarmSetting (selection) of ps LIM high
8 CalibrationThis menu point assures branching to the calibration menu (see item
4.4.3). The new calibration will be stored if the entered data are
acknowledged before leaving the calibration menu.
9 SettingThis menu point assures branching to the setting menu (see item 4.4.4).
The modification will be stored of the entered data are acknowledged
before leaving the setting menu.
10 DiagnosisThis menu point assures branching to the diagnosis menu (see item
4.4.5). At the beginning of the diagnosis, all actuators of the unit are
switched off. The sytem returns to the previous status if diagnosis is
completed.

Service Handbook 08.2004
WTC 600 LP / MPAPPENDIX
4.4.2Calibration menu
The calibration menu is used to adjust the sensors. The following functions are available:
Menu point:Function:
1 Cy permeateCalibration of permeate sensor . If the menu point '1 Cy permeate' is
chosen, a submenu appears with two items: '1 min. Cy' and '2 max. Cy'.
'1 min Cy': please remove the Cy sensor and press the . key.
'2 max Cy'
Important!!! The temperature must be calibrated before calibration of the
conductivity.
Connect the Cy sensor. Now the current permeate conductivity has to be
determined by means of a standard meter, and this v alue has to be
entered by numerical editing. The entered value is equated with the
current conductivity after actuation of the Í key.
2 temp.permeateCalibration of permeate temperature sensor.
For that purpose the current permeate temperature has to be defined
with a standard meter, and this value has to be entered by means of
numerical editing. The entered value is equated with the current
temperature when the Í key is then actuated.
3 calibr. resetThis menu point allows to reset adjustment of the two measuring inputs
to the internal standard values.
ATTENTION !! Inter nal calibration is not a correct adjustment.
