THE NIMBUS MN-800 TF REVERSE OSMOSIS TREATMENT SYSTEM The Nimbus MN-800 TF is the perfect system for a wide variety of applications. Features include stainless steel pressure vessels, frame and concentrate recirculation valve. There are pressure gauges on the pre-filter outlet, post-filter inlet and the high pressure outlet of the desalinator array. The MN-800 TF is also equipped with a 20" 10µ (micron) carbon cartridge pre-filter and post- filter. An Auxiliary 10 Post Filter with a

CONCENTRATE RECIRCULATION VALVE: A needle valve that controls the amount of concentrate from the desalinator array to be recirculated back into the feed stream. This feature allows for higher recovery rates. Additionally, adjustment of this valve regulates the pump discharge pressure. FLOW CONTROL: A fixed orifice that controls the amount of water flowing across the membrane to drain. PRODUCT WATER CHECK VALVE: A one-way valve that prevents pressurized product water from flowing bac

ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT: The following items are also covered in this manual to form a complete water treatment system. PRESSURE TANK: The tank provides storage for approximately 34 gallons of treated water at a pressure of 40 to 60 psi. REMOTE BY-PASS PANEL: This panel monitors treated water TDS and storage tank pressure. It includes a valve for switching to delivery of city water to the food service machines in the event of an RO system failure. INSTALLATION KIT: This kit contains f

piece of black 5/8 tubing from the valve up to the 5/8 compression fitting at the back right side of the RO system manifold. §4.2.2 BY-PASS PANEL PREPARATION AND INSTALLATION: The by-pass panel is to be located convenient to the RO where the TDS monitor is visible and the valve can be operated without difficulty. The standard fittings provided are ½ MPT x 5/8 compression to be installed directly in the 3 ½ FPT ports at the bottom of the panel. Three ½ street elbows are also pro

§5.0 SYSTEM FLUSH AND PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION Although MN-800-TF systems are fully tested at the factory prior to shipping, it is recommended to flush and verify your system's performance on-site. §5.1 SYSTEM FLUSH AND OPERATION New membranes have a preservative on them that needs to be flushed before use. Open the fast flush valve and all usage outlets to allow product to run to drain. • Fully open the concentrate recirculation valve by turning the knob counterclockwise. •

As a final check turn on the city water valve to the By-Pass Panel and check the plumbing • for leaks. §5.2 PERFORMANCE VERIFICATION Factory test data is supplied with the system. To ensure optimum performance, on-site data should be taken and compared to the factory test data. This data should be taken after the system has been flushed for one hour. Some deviations may be seen due to differences in feed water TDS and temperature between the site and factory. If you have already conn

gauge reads about 60 psi (4.1 bar). Now, by opening the tank inlet valve the tank pressure should begin to drop and the system should turn on when the pressure drops below about 40 psi (2.8 bar). If the system fails to shut off at 60 psi (4.1 bar), watch the gauge and be sure that it does not rise above 80 psi (5.5 bar). If it reaches 80 psi (5.5 bar), unplug the system. Refer to §7.1.2 for TANK PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT. §6.0 OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE Nimbus MN-800-TF systems are de

Before servicing, always disconnect power to the unit to avoid shock. • To adjust, remove cover and refer to the diagram inside the cover. • Turn adjustment nut #1 counterclockwise to decrease cut-out pressure and clockwise to • increase cut-out pressure. Under normal circumstances it is not necessary to adjust this switch setting. Replace cover and restore power to unit. • ALWAYS BE SURE TO CHECK THE CUT-OUT OPERATION AFTER ADJUSTMENT AS OUTLINED IN §
