OSMOTIC PRESSURE
The transfer of water from one side of the membrane to
the other will continue until the head (pressure) is great
enough to prevent any net transfer of the solvent (water) to
the more concentrated (feed water) solution.
When the quantity of water passing in either direction
is equal, the head pressure is then defined as the
”Osmotic Pressure” of the solution having that particular
concentration of dissolved solids.

PRESSURE
The operating pressure has a direct affect on product
water quality and quantity. Both factors will progress as
the system pressure increases (higher quantity and higher
quality within design limits).
The system must be operated at the lowest pressure
required to achieve the designed product water flow
rate. This parameter also minimizes compaction, which
proceeds at a faster rate at higher pressures, as well as at
higher temperatures.
The system will automatically adjust its operating pressure
to maintain a precise amount of product water flow.
However, in so doing, at low temperatures and or high
salinity feed water conditions, the system will operate
at higher than normal pressure in order to maintain the
specified amount of product water flow. This is a normal,
design characteristic of the system, and should be
expected.

SPIRAL-WOUND MEMBRANE
The spiral-wound membrane consists of multiple
membrane envelopes formed by enclosing a channelized,
product water-carrying material between two large flat
membrane sheets. The membrane envelope is sealed on
three edges with a special adhesive and attached with the
adhesive to a small diameter pipe.
A polypropylene screen is used to form the feed water
channel between the membrane envelopes. A wrap

ELECTRICAL:
CAUTION: The Parker Sea Recovery Reverse Osmosis Desalination System is designed to be as electrically efficient as
possible. The high pressure pump’s RPM’s and operating pressure govern the amount of energy required by the high
pressure pump’s electric motor. In order to maintain a sufficient flow of feed water into the Reverse Osmosis Membrane
Element, Parker Sea Recovery utilizes several different Driver/Driven pulley ratios. These different pulley ratios, in turn,
create different power requirements.
Parker Sea Recovery Systems utilize a three-phase, mono cycle (Hz) electric motor of either 50 or 60 Hz. When operating
on 50 Hz, the electric motor turns slower than a motor used in a 60 Hz operation. However, the high pressure pump must
be driven at a predetermined RPM. For this reason, Parker Sea Recovery systems utilize different pulley ratios, or variable
frequency drives (VFD), to drive the pumps. The pumps maintain its predetermined RPM when operating on the specified
power source.
Therefore, do not attempt to operate the Parker Sea Recovery system from a power source that creates 50 Hz if you have
a 60 Hz System. Likewise, do not attempt to operate the Parker Sea Recovery system from a power source that creates
60 Hz if you have a 50 Hz System.
If the Parker Sea Recovery system is set up for 50 Hz and operated at 60 Hz, the motor will turn too fast and require
excessive power. This over stresses and overheats the motor. If the Parker Sea Recovery system is set up for 60 Hz but
operated at 50 Hz, R.O. Membrane Element fouling may occur. This is because the motor turns too slowly and drives
the pumps slower than the required predetermined speed, thus subjecting the R.O. Membrane Element to high recovery
(percentage ratio of feed to product).

COMPLIANCE CERTIFICATES

American Bureau of Shipping


Parker Sea Recovery’s Reverse Osmosis Desalination Systems are Type Accepted by the American Bureau of Shipping,
ABS.
Description

American Bureau of Shipping.

Safety, Service, Solutions


These three goals define the activities of ABS. They are the bedrock upon which the American Bureau of Shipping’s com-
mitment to set standards of excellence as one of the world’s leading ship classification societies is founded.

From its inception in 1862, setting safety standards for the marine industry has been the core commitment of ABS. This is
achieved through the establishment and application of technical standards (Rules) for the design, construction, and opera-
tional maintenance of ships and other marine structures. Classification is a process that certifies adherence to these Rules.
The core competencies of this worldwide network of ABS professionals lie in the fields of survey, engineering and auditing.
Backing these field representatives is an unequivocal commitment to research and development.

The ABS Type Approval Program


The ABS Type Approval program has existed in some form since 1983. Today it is formalized in the Rules. Two basic pro-
cesses and certificates establish the validity of a product and all other certificates that may be issued in the program. The
format imitates the format of the European Marine Equipment Directive (MED).

• Satisfactory evaluation of a product to a set of Rules or standards is recorded in the issue of a “Product Design As-
sessment (PDA)” certificate. The process is the same as would be followed for an ABS Design Review Letter. It imitates the
Module B category of the MED.

• Satisfactory evaluation of the manufacturing (Works) facility to confirm their ability to consistently manufacture the
product in accordance with the PDA is recorded in the issue of a “Manufacturing Assessment (MA)” certificate. This was
previously known in ABS as the MMEC program. This imitates the modules D and E of the MED.

The IACS Ad-Hoc Committee for the Certification of Materials and Components have a consensus that Type Approval re-
quires; 1) an evaluation of the product including prototype tests (if necessary), 2) a witness of the manufacture of the prod-
uct (type test), and 3) an assessment of the manufacturer’s ability to consistently manufacture the product in accordance
with the approved specifications. There are a multitude of derivations of this process; following is an abbreviated outline of
the basic certificates:

A Type Approved Product has satisfied the processes of:

1. An Engineer’s evaluation of a design to determine conformance with specifications. The manufacturer should submit
sufficient information to allow ABS to determine if the product meets specification. This results in a Product Design Assess-
ment Certificate (PDA).

2. Witnessing manufacture and testing of a type of the product to determine compliance with the specification

3. A Surveyor’s evaluation of the manufacturing arrangements to confirm that the product can be consistently produced in
accordance with the specification. This results in the issue of a Manufacturing Assessment Certificate

TEMPERATURE & PRESSURE EFFECTS

PARKER SEA RECOVERY® TEMPERATURE EFFECT COMPARISON CHART


(At 820 psi & 35,000 ppm feedwater TDS conditions)
The Temperature Effect Chart on this page illustrates the loss or gain of productivity across the R.O. Membrane.
To determine what normal (in spec.) flow of the system is at 77º F (25º C), follow these directions:
Description

1. Determine feed temperature.


2. Locate the corresponding temperature on the chart.
3. Follow the corresponding temperature in a vertical line up to the plotted production line.
4. From this temperature point at the production line, move left horizontally to the plotted productivity percent.
5. Calculate the system’s present productivity in U.S. gallons per day by multiplying the gallon per hour product water
flow meter reading by 24.
6. Divide the figure reached in step 5 above, present gallon per day productivity, by the plotted productivity percentage
from step 4 above. The answer will be equivalent to the membranes present productivity at specification test
parameters, 820 psi & 77º F (25º C).

Example:
1. With the system operating at 820 psi (57 bar).
2. The present feed temperature is 61º F (16º C).
3. Plotted productivity is therefore 72% of normal.
4. The system is a 14,530 gallon per day model and it is presently producing 9,000 gallons per day.
5. 9,000 per day divided by .72 equals 12,500 gallons per day calculated productivity. The system is rated at 14,530
gallons per day ± 15% (12,350 to 16,709 gallons per day). Therefore the system is within specifications at 12,500
gallons per day actual productivity at 61º F (16º C), 820 psi (57 bar), and 35,000 ppm feed.

PARKER SEA RECOVERY® TEMPERATURE EFFECT COMPARISON CHART


(Do not use this chart for brackish water systems & applications)

As the seawater temperature increases, the Parker Sea Recovery system pressure must be adjusted so that the system
achieves no greater than 100% of rated product water flow. Product water flow greater than 100% of rated capacity
causes premature fouling of the R.O. Membrane Element. This leads to more frequent required cleaning and voids all
warranties of the Parker Parker Sea Recovery R.O. Membrane Elements.

A. AMPERAGE NOTES
The electric motors within the System start in sequence
(with a time delay between each motor) starting after the
touch screen “Start” switch is pressed. First, the booster
pump starts, then the main high pressure pump electric
motor starts. Alternatively, the booster pump and high
pressure pump may be started manually by accessing the
manual operation mode from the touch screen.
During start up, the current of the booster pump electric
motor surges to “Locked Rotor” amperage for a fraction
of a second after which the current drops to normal
running load. Soon after, the high pressure pump electric
motor starts and surges to “Locked Rotor” amperage for
a fraction of a second, after which the current drops to
normal running load.
Therefore, the maximum surge current equals the booster
pump electric motor normal running amperage plus the
high pressure pump electric motor starting amperage.

A. MEDIA FILTER
a. Remove the top entrance cover. The material used in
the media filter consists of two grades of sand, which
must be placed into the media filter from the bottom
up as followed (quantities are per one filter housing,
if multiple filter housings are used then multiply
accordingly):
1) Add approximately 200 lbs (91 kg) of Fine Angular

1 - 3 inches (25 - 75 mm) above the bottom laterals.
2) Add approximately 300 lbs (136 kg) of No. 20 grade
Silica Sand.
b. Upon completion of the sand loading, wash off the top
of the filter to remove all sand from the o-ring groove.
Lubricate and place the o-ring into its groove and
mount the top entrance cover onto the top of the filter
assembly.
c. Close the media filter valve on the System. This forces
the flow of feedwater from the booster pump through
the media filter before it returns to the pre-filter inlet.

Media Filter Connections:


NOTE: Media filter flange connections
are designed to mate directly to their
corresponding flanges on the side of the
System frame. If space limitations prevent
this, connect the system flanges to their
corresponding media filter flanges with

Control System Operations Manual AGE Page 8 of 114
[CONTROL SYSTEM OPERATIONS MANUAL] Sept. 2014

The new North Sea control system incorporates the very latest in powerful control system technology as
well as highly intelligent programming. At the core of the control system is the all new 32 bit
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC); this device provides constant supervision of your water maker.
Should any problem arise during operation this intelligent hardware will first analyze if this fault could
possibly damage the water maker, if so it classifies this error as ‘critical’ and shuts the unit down to
prevent damage. However, if the controller deems the current problem as ‘non critical’ the water maker
is allowed to continue operating; meanwhile the control system will alert operators that service is
required by beeping and displaying a warning notification on the system touch screen; the controller will
continue to monitor the situation closely and if the current problem should become ‘critical’ the control
system will take action to prevent damage and shut the water maker down. The reason for the
shutdown will be displayed on the system touch screen.

The new North Sea controller has also been designed to ensure maximum water maker productivity; the
system contains multiple programs to allow for operation even in ‘critical’ fault situations, ensuring that
whenever possible your water maker can produce the water essential for survival. Please see
“emergency operations” section for further details.

This manual has been written to help walk you through the various features offered by the installed
control system. During fault situations your water maker control system produces messages to help
point you to the problem; contained within this manual is a list of trouble shooting tips based on these
messages; each tip will detail the likely possibilities which resulted in the call for the associated fault
message.

The new North Sea control system also comes with an available Modbus interface. This Modbus
interface can be used to create an open communications interface between locally hosted control
systems and the North Sea water maker. Via the Modbus interface it is possible to monitor all control
system inputs and outputs; it is also possible to monitor data normally displayed on the control system
touch screen including alarm information, performance information, system pressure information and
salinity information.

For further information on the Modbus interface, please refer to the North Sea Modbus Specification
documentation.

3.2 Motor and Pump Rotation Checks

Step 1.

Once at the motor jog screen press the auxiliary pump button to jog the external pump. If the button
will not activate this is because the auxiliary pump option is not enabled, therefore skip this step. If the
button does activate and the pump spins in the correct direction proceed to the next step. However, if
the pump spins in the incorrect direction, press the booster pump jog button, if the booster pump jogs
in the correct direction switch the main power disconnect on the control panel door to the ‘Off’
position, using a screw driver release the lock on the control panel door and open the control panel
door. Locate the external pump contactor (DCP-100). Turn the switch at the top of the contactor to the
‘Off’ position. Loosen the screw clamps holding the field L2 and L3 wires in the contactor output
terminals, swap the wires over and re-secure them in the contactor output terminals, turn the switch at
the top of the device back to the ‘On’ position, close and lock the enclosure door, and switch the main
disconnect back to the ‘On’ position. Navigate back to the commissioning screens and finally to the
motor jog screen, jog the pump once again to ensure correct rotation.

Extremely High Outgoing Voltage Present!


Always ensure incoming power to the unit has been disconnected and locked off
before proceeding with altering outgoing power connections. Failure to do so
could result in injury or death.

If the booster pump spins in the incorrect direction shutdown main incoming power to the unit and
switch the main power disconnect on the control panel to the ‘Off’ position, using a screw driver release
the lock on the control panel door and open the control panel door. Locate the main incoming power
disconnect switch DS-100. Loosen the screw clamps holding the incoming power L2 and L3 wires into the
disconnect switch input terminals, swap the wires over and re-secure them into the disconnect switch
input terminals, close and lock the enclosure door. Switch main incoming power back on and rotate the
main disconnect switch back to the ‘On’ position. Navigate back to the commissioning screens and
finally to the motor jog screen, jog the external pump once again to ensure correct rotation.

Extremely High Incoming Voltage Present!


Always ensure incoming power to the unit has been disconnected and locked off
before proceeding with altering incoming power connections. Failure to do so
could result in injury or death.

Step 2.

If the auxiliary pump spun in the correct direction, press the booster pump jog button, check to see if
the booster pump spins in the correct direction, if it does proceed to step three, if the booster pump
does not spin in the correction direction shutdown main incoming power to the unit and switch the
main power disconnect on the control panel to the ‘Off’ position, using a screw driver release the lock
on the control panel door and open the control panel door. Locate the main incoming power disconnect
switch DS-100. Loosen the screw clamps holding the incoming power L2 and L3 wires into the disconnect
switch input terminals, swap the wires over and re-secure them into the disconnect switch input
terminals. Locate the external pump contactor (DCP-100). Turn the switch at the top of the contactor to
the ‘Off’ position. Loosen the screw clamps holding the field L2 and L3 wires in the contactor output
terminals, swap the wires over and re-secure them in the contactor output terminals, close and lock the
enclosure door. Switch main incoming power back on and rotate the main disconnect switch back to
the ‘On’ position. Navigate back to the commissioning screens and finally to the motor jog screen, jog
the external pump and booster pump once again to ensure correct rotation.

Extremely High Incoming Voltage Present!


Always ensure incoming power to the unit has been disconnected and locked off
before proceeding with altering incoming power connections. Failure to do so
could result in injury or death.

Extremely High Outgoing Voltage Present!


Always ensure incoming power to the unit has been disconnected and locked off
before proceeding with altering outgoing power connections. Failure to do so
could result in injury or death.

If there is no external pump fitted and the booster pump spun in the correct direction, proceed to step
three.

Step 3.

As correct rotation of both booster and High pressure pump are checked and confirmed during the FAT
test there is no need to check rotation of the High pressure pump. However, it is still recommended as a
final check that you still do so. Press the High Pressure pump jog button and confirm correct rotation of
the pump.

Once these tests have been completed and correct rotation of all connected pumps has been confirmed
exit commissioning mode by pressing the arrow in the top left corner four times. This will return you to
the main operations menu.

high pressure pump bypass check valve opens. If there is not sufficient pressure to allow this, the control
system will raise an alarm to notify the operator that Fresh Water Flushing is not taking place as
designed.

Typical values entered here are 30 PSI

4.3 Minimum HP Pump Inlet Pressure:

This value determines at what minimum inlet pressure the system will shut down and indicate a High
Pressure pump inlet pressure low fault. In order for the Danfoss high pressure pump to operate
correctly there must always be a minimum inlet pressure of 20 PSI at the inlet of the pump, pressure
below this limit cause the pump to cavitate, if the control system is connected to a CAT pump this value
can be much lower.

Typical values entered here are 20 PSI in Danfoss pump applications


Typical values entered here are 10 PSI in CAT pump applications

4.4 Maximum HP Pump Inlet Pressure:

This value determines at what maximum inlet pressure the system will shut down and indicate a High
Pressure pump inlet pressure high fault. In order for the Danfoss high pressure pump to operate
correctly there cannot be a pressure greater than 75 PSI at the inlet of the pump, pressure above this
limit causes the pump to shear off the piston shoes as it initially begins to rotate. This type of damage is
not covered by warranty should these settings report being changed by the user, if the control system is
connected to a CAT pump this value should remain at 75 PSI.

Typical values entered here are 75 PSI in all pump applications

5. Normal Operation

5.1 Overview

The new North Sea control system has two possible methods of operation; these are manual mode and
automatic mode. In manual mode the controller requires that the operator activate the pumps by
turning the relative pump operator switches to the ‘Pump On’ position. If the user attempts to operate a
pump when it is determined by the control system as unsafe to do so, the controller will raise a
performance warning (See Performance Warning Messages) detailing the specific reason why the
requested pump cannot be started, it will also flash the appropriate pump control switch which is being
prevented from operating. The operator must correct the situation before attempting to run the pump
again. To request further attempts to run the pump simply turn the relative pump operator switch to
the ‘Off’ position, then back to the ‘Pump On’ position. If the problem has been rectified the pump will
start, if problems still persist further performance warning messages will be raised.

Once successful start up of all connected and enabled pumps has been completed by the operator, the
control system will attempt to automatically activate the connected system valves. If the connected
valves cannot be successfully activated the control system will raise performance warning messages
(See Performance Warning Messages), but will continue to hold the system in an operational state. In
the event of these types of failures manual actuation of the vales will be required.

5.2 Starting the System Manually

The North Sea has a variety of different pump configuration options available; therefore this manual
start up procedure will cover all available options. If your system does not have a discussed option
installed simply ignore the relative descriptions.

Before attempting a manual start up procedure it is important to check that all valves are in the correct
position as previously identified in the section titled, “System settings prior to attempting operation”.

Ensure that the main circuit breaker located in the top right corner of the control panel is in the ‘ON’
position and that the ‘Power On’ Indicator on the front of the control panel is illuminated.

Ensure that the E-Stop button is not pressed in. If the E-stop button is illuminated, the button is pressed
in, release it by turning the mushroom in a clockwise direction.

Ensure no alarms or faults are currently being indicated. If the alarm light is illuminated or flashing an
alarm or performance warning is present, accept or clear these alarms before attempting to proceed.

5.8 Manual Salinity Control Operation:

When operating in manual mode, the control system monitors the health of the salinity sensor, if the
salinity sensor reports as unhealthy it is still possible to operate the system, however monitoring of the
salinity levels will not be available, therefore the operator is required to monitor the salinity levels of the
product water manually via the sample ports and using a hand held salinity meter.

In the event that the salinity sensor has failed the control system will present you with the following
screen immediately after successful high pressure pump start up.

From this screen you can monitor all available system pressures and salinity readings if they become
available, you can also control system valves directly from this screen. As this screen was brought up by
the control system, it automatically attempted to close the high pressure by-pass valve. If the valve fails
to activate properly the control system will raise a performance warning message detailing the problem.

7. Automatic Start up Operation

Automatic start up operation is a new feature added to the North Sea Series of products. It allows for
virtually hands free start up of the system and all associated equipment. This automatic start up
operation can also be carried out remotely via the Modbus communications link (if installed).

Before attempting automatic start up, it is important to check that all valves are in the correct position
as previously identified in the section titled, “System settings prior to attempting operation”.

Ensure that the main circuit breaker located in the top right corner of the control panel is in the ‘ON’
position and that the ‘Power On’ Indicator on the front of the control panel is illuminated.

Ensure that the E-Stop button is not pressed in. If the E-stop button is illuminated, the button is pressed
in, release it by turning the mushroom in a clockwise direction.

Ensure no alarms or faults are currently being indicated. If the alarm light is illuminated or flashing an
alarm or performance warning is present, accept or clear these alarms before attempting to proceed.

To initiate an automatic start up of the system simply press the ‘Auto-Start’ button on the control panel
door or navigate to the ‘System Operation’ screen (See Menu Navigation). Once the screen has been
accessed press the ‘Start’ button.

Immediately after the ‘Auto-Start’ button is pressed, the green indicator light embedded in the button
will begin to flash rapidly, at this moment the system is performing system pre-checks, if a problem is
detected the system will abort the automatic start-up routine and display a system fault notification

pressure pump outlet pressure monitoring is provided to protect the high pressure pumps internal
moving parts. If the high pressure pump is operated at too lower a pressure there is not enough internal
pressure to effectively lubricate the pumps moving surfaces, this will result in rapid wear of the pump
piston shoes and other essential moving parts.

10. System Critical Error Messages

The North Sea control system contains three message centers, all of which are intended to provide as
much information to the operator as possible. The main of the three message centers is the critical error
message center.

During operation if a system failure occurs which could result in the unsafe operation of the water
maker, the fault is deemed as a ‘Critical Error’. These types or faults cause an immediate shutdown of
the water maker and all associated equipment. The critical error message center is the information
window used by the operator to examine system faults of this nature. Typically when these faults occur
they are preceded by a ‘System Warning’ screen as shown below:

11. System Performance Messages

The North Sea control system contains three message centers, all of which are intended to provide as
much information to the operator as possible. The most commonly displayed of the three message
centers is the performance message center.

During operation, if a system fault which results in the water maker not operating at peak efficiency is
detected, the fault is deemed as a ‘Non Critical Error’. These types of faults do not require an immediate
shutdown of the water maker. While safe to do so the water maker will continue to run and prompt the
operator that attention is required by logging the fault in the performance message center. The
performance message center is the information window used by the operator to examine system faults
of this nature. Typically when these faults occur they are preceded by a ‘Performance Warning’ screen
as shown below:

Press here
to ignore
Press here to
review error

Pressing ‘Ignore’ clears the performance warning; pressing ‘Show Log’ will open the performance
warning log window where details concerning the detected problem are given as shown below:

Pressing ‘Select’ will highlight the first alarm item.


Pressing ‘Move Up’ will scroll up through the alarm list
Pressing ‘Move Down’ will scroll down through the alarm list
Pressing ‘Accept’ will clear the listed alarm notifications.
Pressing ‘Back’ will exit the alarm list. Please note the ‘Back’ button is only active if no faults or errors
are currently displayed, if errors or faults are displayed, press ‘Accept’ to exit this screen.

When a system performance fault is detected the system fault indicator will blink at 0.5 second
intervals, the general alarm contact will not change state in these situations. The system fault indicator
will continue to blink until the fault is accepted by the operator; this can be done by pressing the
‘Accept’ button in the performance message center or by pressing ‘Ignore’ in the preceding
performance warning screen. Once a fault has been accepted the system fault indicator will stop
blinking, but a log of the fault is kept within the performance message center. This list of potential
problems can be viewed at any time by manually navigating back to the performance message center
(See Menu Navigation)

12. System Status Messages

The North Sea control system contains three message centers, all of which are intended to provide as
much information to the operator as possible. The most commonly used of the three message centers is
usually the system status message center.

During operation, anytime the water maker senses a change in external input, or if the water maker
makes a decision to operate any part of the water maker a message detailing what is currently
happening will be displayed in the system status message center. The system status message center is
the information window used by the operator to examine any internal messages generated by the water
maker.

To access this messaging screen navigate to the system message selection menu (See Menu Navigation)
and press the arrow alongside the ‘System Status Messages’ text. Doing so will present you with the
following screen:

Pressing ‘Select’ will highlight the first message item.


Pressing ‘Move Up’ will scroll up through the message list
Pressing ‘Move Down’ will scroll down through the message list
Pressing ‘Back’ will return you to the system message selection menu.

When a system status message is displayed, the system fault indicator will not illuminate and the
general alarm contact will not change state.

15. Emergency Operation

15.1 Accessing Emergency Override Menus:

One of the newer features of the North Sea control system is the ability to operate with damaged
sensors. It is possible to override faulty/damaged sensors and still run the system in these emergencies
to ensure potable water is still available.

Operation in emergency mode is only possible for brief periods of time; therefore it is vital that the
required sensor is ordered as soon as possible to prevent water shortages.

Once emergency mode has completed its full operation cycle, it cannot be activated again. Each time
the unit is started the control system will abort operation automatically and indicate to the operator
that the maximum allowable time for emergency mode operation has been reached. Manual operation
of the system is also inhibited.

Accessing the emergency override system is a password restricted procedure. Passwords must be
obtained from DSRC. To access the emergency override menu screen press in the top left hand corner of
the first ‘System Menu’ screen, this will return you to the water maker home screen, as shown below:

From the ‘Emergency Sensor Override’ screen it is possible to disable system sensors by pressing on the
associated sensor button, as you press the button the buttons face changes to reflect the current
operational state of the associated sensor.

It is not possible to disable both the low pressure sensor and the low pressure switch at the same time.
If you attempt to do this, the button to the second device being disabled will become un-responsive.

Each time you disable a sensor the system fault light will begin to flash, this indicates that a ‘System
Performance Warning’ has been raised. Once you exit the ‘Emergency Sensor Override’ screen the
control system will provide you with a performance warning prompt so you can review new messages as
shown below:

From this screen it is possible to view the total accumulated emergency operation hours. As these
timers approach 100Hrs the system will shut down and further operation in any mode will not be
permitted.

If the operator presses the ‘Reset’ button the emergency override time will not be cleared. Instead the
control system will prompt for a secondary password as shown below:

To cancel
press here

Press here
to Enter

In extreme emergencies it is possible to clear the timers and allow the system to run for a further 100
Hours, in these situations DSRC will void all equipment warranties.

Once the damaged sensor has been replaced with a new one, the control system will automatically
detect this and clear the ‘Emergency Override Operation’ timer associated with the replaced part. The
operator must manually remove the override to prevent further system shutdowns. Failure to do so will
result in the system still operating in emergency sensor override mode, and faulting out after the 100
hour limit has been reached.

An easy way to remove sensor overrides is to simply cycle power to the water maker, each time power
to the water maker is turned off and then back on again, any disabled sensors are automatically re-
enabled.

16. Manual Actuation of System Valves.

Manual actuation of system valves maybe required in emergency situations. Actuating these valves can
be carried out in the following manner:

16.1 Actuating the High Pressure By-pass Valve

To manually actuate this valve the operator must first remove power from the valve actuator motor.
This is done by locating the valve power plug hidden in the North Sea electrical tray work located
directly beneath the valve itself (See figure 1.1)

Figure 1.1

Once the power plug has been located separate the plug, by pressing on the button located on the top
of the plug. Once pressed pull the plug a part (See figure 1.2)

17. Fresh Water Flushing

Each time a running pump is stopped using the ‘Auto-Stop’ button the fresh water flush system will
automatically be activated. Once all running pumps have been stopped the fresh water flush valve will
open allowing fresh water into the system. The valve will remain open for 10 minutes to allow fresh
water to completely fill the water maker pipe work and membrane vessels, during this time the fresh
water flush indicator on the control panel door will remain steadily illuminated.

After the 10 minute fresh water flush cycle has ended, the valve will close and the fresh water flush
indicator light on the panel door will extinguish. The control system will now enter ‘Sleep Mode’, while
in this state the fresh water flush indicator light will illuminate for 1 second each hour. This brief flashing
is indicating that the fresh water flush mode is still active but currently waiting for the next fresh water
flush cycle to begin.

7 Days after the initial fresh water flush cycle completed, a secondary fresh water flush cycle will begin;
the valve will re-open for 10 minutes allowing fresh water to flood the system once again. While the
valve is open the fresh water flush indicator light on the panel door will remain steadily illuminated.
After the 10 minute cycle has elapsed the control system will return to ‘Sleep Mode’.

This cycle will continue indefinitely, unless a system pump is started by the operator, or the operator
cancels the fresh water flush sequence by pressing and holding the “Auto-Stop’ button for 2 seconds.

When the fresh water flush system is flushing; the control system examines the available fresh water
pressure, if pressures are detected as being below the system set-point a performance warning
notification is raised by the control system as shown below:

The North Sea control system is fully capable of initiating multi-media backwash cycles automatically
however this will only occur if the system is operating in fully automatic mode. If the system is operating
in manual mode automatic backwashing of the multi-media filter assembly is disabled, instead the
system will raise a performance warning notification indicating to the user that the detected multi-
media filter differential pressure has exceeded specifications, as shown below:

19.10 Activating the backwash cycle manually while operating the system in automatic mode

If your system is operating in automatic mode the control system will automatically initiate multi-media
backwashing cycles when needed, however you can still initiate these backwash cycles manually if you
choose to do so. Please note that if you manually initiate a backwash cycle during automatic operation
the system will see this as a manual intervention; hence once the backwash cycle has been completed
the system will remain shutdown and will not automatically re-start and re-enter production mode by
itself.

To manually initiate a backwashing cycle during automatic mode press panel button #12 ‘Back Wash
Status’ (illustrated on page 7), once you press this button the controller touch screen will display the
following screen:

19.11 Automatic activation of the backwash cycle

If your system is operating in automatic mode the control system will automatically initiate multi-media
backwashing cycles when needed, when the control system initiates a backwashing cycle automatically
its begins by shutting down the water maker, once the backwashing cycle has completed the control
system will automatically re-start the water maker and place it back into production. The control system
initiates an automatic backwashing cycle when it detects a high differential pressure across the multi-
media filter assembly, before initiating the automatic shutdown procedure the control system will alert
the system operator by displaying the following screen:

Delay time before


backwash starts

Once the indicated time has elapsed the system will begin an automatic shutdown of the water maker
and enter the automatic backwashing sequence. Once the backwashing sequence has completed the
system will re-start and re-enter production mode automatically.

If you wish to skip the countdown time and initiate a backwash cycle manually press the panel button
#12 ‘Back Wash Status’ twice, pressing this button in this manner will abort the 5 minute count down
and initiate the backwashing cycle immediately. Please note, as a manual intervention was detected the
system will no longer automatically re-start and re-enter production mode, instead it will simply remain
in shutdown mode once the backwashing cycle has completed.

19.12 Activating the backwash cycle manually while in standby mode

1. FAULT CODE TROUBLESHOOTING:

The North Sea comes equipped with a highly intelligent control system. This system constantly performs
health checks. If health checks show a component fault or pending system failure; the control system
will shut the unit down to protect from damage. The reason for the shutdown is displayed on the system
touch screen. To diagnose a problem refer to the tables listed in this document.

Next to each fault code is a list of reasons that could cause this fault code to be displayed. Investigate
the reasons listed in order to locate and rectify the problem. If you are not able to locate the fault after
researching the reasons given, call Parker Sea Recovery for further assistance.

When faulted the system generates specific fault codes, please refer to the table below for tips:

3. AUXILIARY PUMP TROUBLESHOOTING

If the Auxiliary pump fails to operate, follow these steps to isolate the problem

1. Open the control panel door and manually override the disconnect switch to ensure the panel
has power.

Extremely High Voltage Present!


Working on a live panel is sometimes necessary to help locate system faults.
While working on a live panel extreme caution is needed.
Working on live panels should only be attempted by fully qualified personnel.

2. Turn the Auxiliary pump operator switch to the manual position.


3. Inspect the Auxiliary pump contactor (DCP-100) circuit protector switch. If this switch is
currently in the ‘off’(horizontal) position is confirms that a system overload resulted in the
circuit breaker popping to protect the circuit. Reset the breaker by turning the switch to the ‘on’
(vertical) position and check Auxiliary pump function. If the pump still does not function,
proceed with the next test.
4. Inspect the condition of relay YS-1005A, the small light on the relay should be illuminated when
the Auxiliary pump operator switch is in the manual position. If it is, proceed to the next test, if
not inspect the PLC, locate and inspect output indicator Q13, this output indicator should be
illuminated. If it is, there is a wiring fault between the PLC and the Auxiliary pump contactor
control relay (YS-1005A), trace out the wiring to identify the problem. If this output indicator is
not illuminated there could possibly be a problem with the control system PLC, contact Parker
Sea Recovery for further details.
5. Using a multi-meter test the voltage available across terminals A1 and A2 of the Auxiliary pump
contactor (DCP-100). If 24vDC is detected when the Auxiliary pump operator is moved to the
manual position proceed to the next test, if 24vDC is not detected, there is a wiring fault
between the Auxiliary pump control relay (YS-1005A) and the Auxiliary pump contactor, trace
out the wiring to identify the problem
6. Leave the Auxiliary pump operator in the manual position, using a multi-meter check the
outgoing voltage from the Auxiliary pump contactor (DCP-100) terminals T1, T2 and T3. If the
correct output voltage is detected, the problem lies within the Auxiliary pump power wiring, or
within the motor itself. Re-assemble the panel, manually turn off the disconnect switch, close

4. Booster Pump Trouble Shooting.

If the booster pump fails to operate, follow these steps to isolate the problem

1. Open the control panel door and manually override the disconnect switch to ensure the panel
has power.

Extremely High Voltage Present!


Working on a live panel is sometimes necessary to help locate system faults.
While working on a live panel extreme caution is needed.
Working on live panels should only be attempted by fully qualified personnel.

2. Turn the booster pump operator switch to the manual position.


3. Inspect the booster pump contactor (DCP-101) circuit protector switch. If this switch is currently
in the ‘off’(horizontal) position is confirms that a system overload resulted in the circuit breaker
popping to protect the circuit. Reset the breaker by turning the switch to the ‘on’ (vertical)
position and check booster pump function. If the pump still does not function, proceed with the
next test.
4. Inspect the condition of relay YS-1005A, the small light on the relay should be illuminated when
the booster pump operator switch is in the manual position. If it is, proceed to the next test, if
not inspect the PLC, locate and inspect output indicator Q14, this output indicator should be
illuminated. If it is, there is a wiring fault between the PLC and the booster pump contactor
control relay (YS-1005A), trace out the wiring to identify the problem. If this output indicator is
not illuminated there could possibly be a problem with the control system PLC, contact Parker
Sea Recovery for further details.
5. Using a multi-meter test the voltage available across terminals A1 and A2 of the booster pump
contactor (DCP-101). If 24vDC is detected when the booster pump operator is moved to the
manual position proceed to the next test, if 24vDC is not detected, there is a wiring fault
between the booster pump control relay (YS-1005A) and the booster pump contactor, trace out
the wiring to identify the problem
6. Leave the booster pump operator in the manual position, using a multi-meter check the
outgoing voltage from the booster pump contactor (DCP-101) terminals T1, T2 and T3. If the
correct output voltage is detected, the problem lies within the booster pump power wiring, or
within the motor itself. Re-assemble the panel, manually turn off the disconnect switch, close
and lock the panel door. If the correct output voltage is not detected proceed with the next test.

7. Ultra-violet Sterilizer Troubleshooting.

If the ultra-violet sterilizer fails to operate, follow these steps to isolate the problem.

1. Open the control panel door and manually override the disconnect switch to ensure the panel
has power.

Extremely High Voltage Present!


Working on a live panel is sometimes necessary to help locate system faults.
While working on a live panel extreme caution is needed.
Working on live panels should only be attempted by fully qualified personnel.

2. Check the incoming and outgoing power fuses to the ultra-violet transformer (FB-21 & FB-22), if
the indicator lights on the fuse carriers are illuminated this indicates the fuses have blown,
replace the fuses and try operating the system again.
3. If the associated fuse carriers do not have the blown indicators illuminated, using a multi-meter
measure the outgoing power from the panel to the ultra-violet sterilizer (TB6-1&2), if the
correct voltage is measured the problem lies somewhere in the ultra-violet unit itself or the
associated power wiring, manually turn off the disconnect switch, close and lock the panel door.
If the correct output voltage is not detected proceed with the next test.
4. Using a multi-meter measure the output voltage of the ultra-violet control relay (YS-0002), if the
correct voltage is measured the problem lies somewhere within the wiring from the control
relay to the output terminals (TB6-1&2) of the panel, trace out the wiring to identify the
problem. If the correct voltage is not measured, proceed to the next test.
5. Using a multi-meter measure the input voltage of the ultra-violet control relay (YS-0002), if the
correct voltage is measured and the relay is energizing as required the problem lies within the
control relay, replace the control relay with a new unit. If the correct voltage is not measured,
proceed to the next test.
6. Using a multi-meter measure the output voltage of the ultra-violet transformer, if the correct
voltage is measured the problem lies somewhere within the wiring from the transformer to the
output terminals of the panel, re-check the health of FB-22 by removing the fuse and testing for
conductivity, if the fuse tests as ok trace out the wiring to identify the problem. If the correct
voltage is not measured, proceed to the next test.

7. Using a multi-meter measure the input voltage to the ultra-violet sterilizer transformer, if the
correct voltage is measured the problem lies within the transformer itself; replace the
transformer with a new unit. If the correct voltage is not measured proceed to the next test.
8. Using a multi-meter measure the output voltage of FB21, if the correct voltage is measured the
problem lies within the wiring between the fuse block and the ultra-violet transformer itself;
trace out the wiring to identify the problem. If the correct voltage is not measured proceed to
the next test.
9. Using a multi-meter measure the input voltage of FB21, if the correct voltage is measured the
problem lies within the fuse carrier; re-check the health of FB-21 by removing the fuses and
testing for conductivity, if the fuses test as ok, the problem lies within the fuse carrier. Replace
the carrier with a new unit. If the correct voltage is not measured proceed to the next test.
10. Using a multi-meter test the voltage available across terminals L1 and L3 of DB-1, if the correct
voltage is detected the problem lies within the cabling between DB-1 and FB-21; trace out the
wiring to identify the problem. If the correct voltage is not detected move on to the next test.
11. Using a multi-meter test the voltage available across terminals T1 and T3 of the main disconnect
switch (DS-100), if the correct voltage is detected the problem lies within the cabling between
DS-100 and DB-1, trace out the wiring to identify the problem. If the correct voltage is not
detected move on to the next test.
12. Once again verify incoming power to the panel. Using a multi-meter test the voltage available
across terminals L1 and L3 of DS-100 If the correct voltage is detected the problem lies within
the main disconnect switch. Remove the switch and replace with a new unit. If the correct
voltage is not detected investigate why the incoming power to the control system has failed.
