5. Ready the Micro-filter assembly as follows:
a. Make sure Strainer S-2 Drain Valve V-109 is closed (see Figure 2 for valve location).
b. Check the MF Trans-Membrane Pressure reading on the OCP. If it is not 0.0, turn the
MF Trans-Membrane Zero adjust dial until a reading of 0.0 is obtained.
c. Check to be sure that the SYSTEM MODE SWITCH is set to STANDBY
6. If raw water flow has stopped, re-establish raw water flow and partially open the Raw Water Flow
Control Valve V-107 (see Figure 4 for valve location).
NOTE
The PLC automatic control moves through the cycle steps and controls the MF feed pump
as needed to fill and flush the MF modules. The time required is 45 seconds. The blinking
STANDBY light indicates cycle completion. The MF feed pump will shut down.
After the MF feed pump comes on, check the MF filtrate flow indicator to make sure flow is
indicated. If no flow, refer to troubleshooting, WP 0033.
7. Set the SYSTEM MODE SWITCH to MF FILL/HOLD. Adjust the Raw Water Flow Control Valve
as necessary to maintain the MF Feed Tank about three quarters (3/4) full.
8. When Fill/Hold is complete (MF Feed Pump "START" button light goes off), set the SYSTEM
MODE SWITCH back to STANDBY.
9. After the Standby light comes on, set the SYSTEM MODE SWITCH to MF FILL/HOLD for a
second fill. This procedure will flush most of the preservative solution out of the MF.
10. Repeat steps 6 and 7 one more time.
