Chapter 3 USING THE ELIX SYSTEM
3-1 HOW THE ELIX NORMALLY DELIVERS PRODUCT WATER
SDS AND LOOPS
The Product Water from an Elix System is normally delivered to a Storage Reservoir (called a SDS). The SDS usually has a
Distribution Pump. The Distribution Pump is used to pressurise stored water and to send it through a network of pipes (a Loop).
The Loop is used to deliver water to various applications such as a dishwasher, humidifiers and so forth. The water from the Loop
that is not used is returned back the SDS.
AUTOMATIC METHOD
The Elix System will enter PRODUCTION Mode automatically if it is connected to a SDS or similar type of storage reservoir.
When the word PRODUCT appears on the 2nd line, the
Resistivity and TOC values are measured inside the Elix System.
TC = Temperature Compensated to 25 °C
A parameter called the TANK LEVEL RESTART is used to go from TANK FULL Mode to PRODUCTION Mode. This parameter is
factory set to 80%. When the Elix System is in TANK FULL Mode and water is withdrawn from the Reservoir, then the Elix
will go to PRODUCTION Mode automatically when the Reservoir is 80% full.
MANUAL METHOD
1. Start in STANDBY Mode.
2. Press the PRODUCTION Keypad Button for about 2 seconds.
Press PRODUCTION for about
2 - 3 seconds.
Lasts for about 16 seconds.
3. The Elix System will perform a Pressure Test for about 16 seconds. This tests the pressure reaching the Elix System.
4. The Elix System will go into RINSING Mode for a minimum of 1 minute. See Section 3-5 for an explanation about RINSING
Mode.
