INSPECTION & PREPARATION

Installation Safety Guide

• AWS I-2500 works on standard 100-240 V AC supply power plugs only.
• Control valve should be higher than the drain outlet, and not far from the drain hose.
• If the drain valve is squeezed or higher than the control valve, then the brine solution will not be sucked from the brine tank due to the pressure difference.
• Incase the process changes from fast rinse (4) to filling cycle (5), there is a high pressure coming to the drain pipe. Please fix the drain pipe properly.
• Placement of the vessel should be as the picture below.
• Handle with care when moving the water softening system. Do not turn upside down, drop, drag, or set on areas with sharp protrusions.

Device location (Fig-A)

• Water softener should be located close to the drain.
• Ensure the unit is installed with enough space for operation and maintenance.
• The brine tank needs to be close to the softener.
• The unit should be kept away from the heater, and not be exposed outdoors. Sunshine or rain will cause system damage.
• Avoid installing the system on an acid/alkaline, magnetic or strong vibration platform, because the above factors will cause a system disorder.

Pipeline installation

Install control valve (Fig- B)

• Glue the riser pipe to the bottom strainer and put it into the vessel tank.
• Ensure that the ‘O’ ring inside the control valve doesn’t fall or isn’t misplaced while fitting onto the vessel.
• Fill in the Geolex media followed by the water softener resin media into a vessel.
• Plug the riser pipe to prevent media from entering the pipe.
• Fix the top strainer into the Multi-port valve.
• Insert the riser tube into the control valve.

Install Animated Connector (Fig-C)

• As the figure shows, put the sealing ring into the nut of the animated connector, and screw in the water inlet.

Install Flow Meter (Fig-C)

• As the figure shows, put the sealing ring onto the nut of the flow meter, screw in the water outlet; insert the probe wire into the flow meter.

Install Drain Pipeline (Fig-D)

• As the figure shows below, slide the drain hose connector into the drain outlet.
• Locate the drain hose well as shown in Fig- D.

Connector Brine Tube (Fig-E)

• Slide 3/8’’ brine tube hose connector over end of brine tube. Insert the tube bushing into the end of the brine tube.
• Tighten the nut onto the brine line connector and connect the other end of the brine tube with the brine tank with the help of a strainer.

Note
MPV valve should be higher than the drain outlet, and not far from the drain hose. If the drain outlet is higher than the control valve, a check valve must be installed in the drain outlet or else, the waste water will flow backwards into the water outlet when the brine is refilled.

INTERCONNECTING CABLE

• The interlock connector needs to be connected with the same color as the interlock connector on the main board
• Use an interlock cable to connect the Black socket of one valve with the Blue socket of another valve in the series
