1 With the System ON, Press and Hold the Up and Down Arrows.
2 With the Up and Down Arrows depressed, Press the System On/Off button. The menu will switch to the RO Presets menu shown in Figure 7.
System Start-up w/Permeate Flush
For systems equipped with a Permeate Flush, you must follow the procedure below for proper system startup. When there is no Permeate Water in the tank the RO will not start. 1. With the system on, Press and Hold the Up and Down Arrows 2. With the Up and Down Arrows depressed, Press the System On/Off button. This will switch to the
Hidden Menus as shown above. 3. If not already on the RO Presets Program, Press the Up or Down Arrows until you reach this screen. 4. Once on the RO Presets Program Screen, Press Manual to Edit this Screen. 5. Press the Up or Down Arrow to change to Program 2 6. Once on Program 2, Press Manual to Exit the screen.
7. Press System On/Off to save the changes and return to the Home Page. Once your Permeate Tank has filled enough to do a proper permeate flush, follow the steps again changing from Program 2 back to Program 3.

Table 2 – Controller Programming: ROC2HE Program Selections
The controller has 4 separate, user-selectable sets of settings for configuring the RO. The factory default settings are shown below. The settings are identical except for variations in the flush behavior.
· Program 1, High Pressure flush · Program 2, No Flush · Program 3, Permeate Flush, (low pressure, inlet valve closed) · Program 4, Low Pressure, feed water flush See the previous page for instructions on how to access the menu for selecting these programs. See Appendix A for a detailed explanation of the Parameters and their affect on the RO’s operation.

Controller Fault Condition Displays
Below are examples and explanations of the displays which accompany the fault conditions possible on the CPU-4. Fault conditions always indicate a problem of some sort which requires corrective action. the displays provide sufficient information to recognize the source of the fault and the required corrective action.
Low Pressure Fault: (System is responding to low pressure condition per system settings) Line 1 “Service Fault” Line 2 “Low Feed Pressure” Line 3 Line 4 “Restart in MM:SS”
Pre Treat Fault: (Pretreat Switch is closed indicating problem with pretreat system). Line 1 “Service Fault” Line 2 “Pretreat” Line 3 Line 4 “Check Pretreat Sys.”
Permeate Conductivity Fault: (Permeate conductivity is higher than the alarm set-point.) Line 1 “Service Fault” Line 2 “Permeate TDS xxx ppm” or “Permeate Cond xxx uS” Line 3 “Alarm SP xxx ppm” or “Alarm SP xxx uS” Line 4 “To Reset Push OFF/ON”
Feed Conductivity Fault: (Feed conductivity is higher than the alarm set-point.) Line 1 “Service Fault” Line 2 “Feed TDS xxx ppm” or “Feed Cond xxx uS” Line 3 “Alarm SP xxx ppm” or “Alarm SP xxx uS” Line 4 “To Reset Push OFF/ON”
Conductivity Probe Error messages: Line 2 “Inteference” – Noise detected by conductivity circuit, valid measurement not possible. Line 2 “Over-range” – Measurement is out of range for the circuit, probe may also be shorted Line 2 “Probe shorted” – Short circuit detected on temperature sensor in probe Line 2 “Probe not detected” – Open circuit detected on temperature sensor in probe (white & unshielded wire) Line 2 “Probe Startup 1” – Internal reference voltage too high to make valid measurement Line 2 “Probe Startup 2” – Internal reference voltage too low to make valid measurement Line 2 “Probe Startup 3” – Internal excitation voltage too high to make valid measurement Line 2 “Probe Startup 4” – Internal excitation voltage too low to make valid measurement

Controller Fault Condition Displays
If RO Not Working and Display Shows “Tank Full” or “Tank Full Draw Down” 1. If using a single point high level float switch, the jumper in the wiring instructions must be installed. This
needs to be checked to make sure it is not loose and or disconnected, which would cause a failure and one of the displays above. ie. Remove jumper and reinstall, making sure of a good connection. Re-check display and operation. 2. Check the switch in the tank to make sure it is operating correctly. Check the switch with a multi-meter for correct “on-off” operation. Replace switch or level control if faulty. 3. If someone connected 110v to the terminal strip connection for the high level shut off, they could have fried the “opto-isolator”. 4. Also, if there were major lightning strikes and power outages with surges, it is possible that you may have had a power surge that sent electric current to the dry contacts and possibly fried the “opto-isolator”. This will prevent the system from turning on, and the display will show Tank Full messages. 5. If the jumper is verified to be in place with good connections, and if the high level cut off switch in the storage tank is verified to be operational, then the board might need to be replaced due to number 3 or 4.
