Consumables The SDS 500 consumables are dependent on the options installed. Consumable replacement is managed by the Water Purification System using alerts and wizards. Vent filters Vent filters should always be installed, they filter air entering the tank to protect the stored pure water from contaminants. Vent filters protect from bacterial contamination and can also protect high purity water from CO and volatile organic compounds (VOC).
Accessories Accessories are available to customize the SDS 500 configuration. Loop UV lamp The loop UV lamp accessory includes a 254 nm bactericidal UV lamp to limit bacterial growth in the distributed water. The UV lamp housing is installed upstream of the loop filter. The loop UV is powered when the distribution pump is powered by the Water Purification System.
Communication The SDS 500 communicates with the Water Purification System through 2 cables (Single) or 3 cables (Duplex). Cable CH In C2 Out Connects to... Leak detector, tank UV lamp(s), dumping level and overflow Pump 2 valve and pump 1 detector SDS 500 Single SDS 500 Duplex...
Operation Pumps Control The Water Purification System connected to the SDS 500 controls the operation of the SDS 500 distribution pumps. Setting The selector switch located on the SDS 500 should be set to automatic control (AUTO) in order to give control to the Water Purification System.
Tank Flush Schedule Regular tank flushes allow refresh of stored water when water requirement is low. The Water Purification System connected to the SDS 500 controls the frequency of tank flushes. Setting The selector switch located on the SDS 500 should be set to automatic control in order to give control to the Water Purification System.
1. Verify that it is safe to power on the SDS 500 (no leak or electrical maintenance in progress). 2. Check that the SDS 500 three sampling valves are closed. 3. Check that the tank manual drain valve is closed. 4.
How to Empty the Tank Manually Manually opening the valve underneath the tank is the only way to ensure 100% of the water is drained. 1. Make sure the SDS 500 is set to automatic control. 2. Put the Water Purification System in STANDBY. 3.
Page 18
Return to normal operation if needed (READY modes). Note: The restart of the distribution process may be delayed as the Water Purification System must fill the tank to a minimum level before the distribution is restarted. 18 | Operation...
How to Empty the Tank Automatically The SDS 500 can be emptied automatically at high speed through the SDS 500 dumping valve using the TANK EMPTYING feature on the Water Purification System. 1. Make sure the SDS 500 is set to automatic control. 2.
SDS Stop The SDS Stop button located on the right side of the SDS 500 control panel stops the filling and distribution processes immediately when pressed. The SDS Stop button DOES NOT switch off the electric power in the SDS 500 electrical box.
Maintenance The SDS 500 consumables need replacement when prompted by the Water Purification System Interface. Remember: Make sure isolation valves are not left closed before restart of distribution process. Vent filters Vent filters can be replaced by the user with the provided instructions. Loop filter The loop filter can be replaced by the user with the provided instructions.
How to Replace Vent Filters Two vent filters prevent contamination of the stored pure water by filtering air entering the tank. Vent filters should always be installed with their protection on top of the SDS. Initiate the vent filters replacement wizard on the Water Purification System. Warning: Exposure to UV light is possible if an ASM lamp is installed and is activated.

6. Push firmly down until filters are fully secured. Finalize the vent filters replacement wizard on the Water Purification System in order to reset the replacement timer. Maintenance | 23...
How to Replace (Install) Loop Filter The loop filter is connected using two tri-clamps. The loop filter should be replaced when prompted on the Water Purification System interface or when the pressure drop reaches a preset value (typically 1 bar). If the loop filter is not installed yet, then the by-pass pipe should be replaced by the loop filter (keep the pipe for later use).
Page 25
10. Remove the used filter, or the by-pass pipe, and keep the clamps and gaskets. 11. Position the new filter between the 2 connection clamps. 12. Make sure the seals are correctly seated. 13. Close the clamps on the filter connections and make sure the clamps are well positioned.
Self Help Guide The Self Help Guide covers situations which could occur with your SDS 500 and provides guidance to resolve them yourself. Should you need additional information or support, note the serial number of your water purification system, the serial number of your SDS 500 located on the left side of the control panel and contact your local Service Representative.
Pump Fault Red Light on SDS 500 Duplex A Pump Fault red light on the Duplex SDS 500 Control Panel can have multiple causes. a) One Pump Fault red light illuminated Issue One Pump Fault Red light illuminated on Control Panel. Causes There is a problem with one of the distribution pump.
Messages on Water Purification System The SDS 500 is controlled by the Water Purification System. Alarms and alerts relating to the SDS 500 are displayed on the Water Purification System interface. DISTRIBUTION UV message Issue A Distribution UV message is displayed on the Water Purification System Interface.
PUMP FAILURE messages (SDS 500 Single) a) PUMP FAILURE message only Issue A PUMP FAILURE message is displayed on the Water Purification System interface. Causes 1. The control panel selector switch is on the manual override position. 2. There is a problem with the distribution pump. Effect 1.
PUMP FAILURE messages (SDS 500 Duplex) a) PUMP1 FAILURE or PUMP2 FAILURE messages displayed Issue PUMP1 FAILURE or PUMP2 FAILURE message is displayed on the Water Purification System interface without any TANK LEVEL SENSOR FAILURE message. Cause There is a problem with one pump. Effect The remaining pump is used to maintain normal operation.
Page 31
Solution 1. Make sure the SDS Stop button is not pushed. 2. Contact your Local Service Representative. 3. Power OFF the SDS, wait 10 seconds, power back ON the SDS and then acknowledge message on Water Purification System. Contact your Local Service Representative if the alarm persists.
OVERFLOW message Issue An OVERFLOW message is displayed on the Water Purification System Interface. Cause The level of water in the tank has been detected as too high. Effect The Water Purification System stops filling the tank but does not stop the distribution process.

How to Dispense Water if the Water Purification System is Off The SDS 500 Control Panel can be used to manually control the Distribution Pump(s) instead of automatic control by the Water Purification System. Using the manual override of the pumps on the SDS 500 Control Panel will trigger several alarms on the Water Purification System Interface, it should therefore be used during a short period and only if the Water Purification System is unable to manage the SDS.
How to Check Power The SDS 500 control panel is equipped with a POWER light which indicates if the SDS 500 is powered or not. 1. Locate the POWER light on the SDS 500 control panel. 2. Make sure it is illuminated. If POWER is not illuminated, verify the power supply (mains power and power cord) before contacting your local service support (internal circuit breaker may also have tripped).
How to Air Purge a new Loop Filter The loop filter needs to be purged from trapped air once it has been installed on the SDS 500. A new loop filter has just been installed and isolation valves are still closed. 1.
Page 37
7. Gently open the loop filter top purge valve. 1. If the tank level is above 75%, the loop filter will fill up with water, close the loop filter purge valve when it appears all air has been vented out. This will complete the air purge procedure.
What to do when there is No Flow Several checks can be performed if no water can be dispensed from the loop. 1. Verify the SDS 500 is powered. 2. Make sure the pump(s) isolation valves and loop filter isolation valves are open. 3.
