WARNINGS

If this or any other system is installed in a metal (conductive) plumbing system, i.e. copper or galvanized metal, the plastic components of the system will interrupt the continuity of the plumbing system. As a result any errant electricity from improperly grounded appliances downstream or potential galvanic activity in the plumbing system can no longer ground through contiguous metal plumbing. Some homes may have been built in accordance with building codes, which actually encouraged the grounding of electrical appliances through the plumbing system. Consequently, the installation of a bypass consisting of the same material as the existing plumbing, or a grounded “jumper wire” bridging the equipment and reestablishing the contiguous conductive nature of the plumbing system must be installed prior to your systems use.

DO NOT USE extra lubricants, unapproved sealants and tools to tighten hand tightened only parts. Use of tools other than hand tighten only parts voids warranty. Testing was performed under standard laboratory conditions; actual performance may vary. Flush the system and change the filter as suggested. The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water filter are not necessarily in all users’ water.

PERFORMANCE

This system conforms to NSF/ANSI 53 for the specific performance claims verified and substantiated by test data. Performance claims are based on independent lab results and manufacturer’s internal test data*. Actual performance is dependent on influent water quality, flow rates, system design and applications. Your results may vary. Performance claims are based on a complete system, including a filter, housing, and connection to a pressurized water source. This filter must be operated according to the system’s specifications in order to deliver the claimed performance. It is essential to follow operational, maintenance, and filter replacement requirements, as directed for each application, for this filter and system to perform correctly. Read the Manufacturer’s Performance Data Sheet accompanying the system and change the filter as suggested. The contaminants or other substances removed or reduced by this water filter are not necessarily in all users’ water.

WATER TOTALIZER NOTIFIER

The overall purpose of this device is to receive a water meter input, and totalize the amount of water that passes through the meter. When there is flow through the water meter, the lights flash at a rate that increases with the water flow rate. When the total amount of water flowed reaches within 10% of a pre-selected amount the totalizer turns yellow, when the total amount reaches the pre-selected amount the totalizer turns red.

Power
This unit is to be powered using +12VDC. The power input is a wire tail with a 2.5mm, center positive barrel jack.

The totalizer has a battery backup. The battery backup uses 3 AAA size batteries. The battery holder is a part of the PCB assembly and can be accessed by removing the lid to the cartridge filter. Battery life will vary based on water flow when running on battery mode and type of batteries used. With high continuous flow, the batteries are expected to last approximately 14 days. With no flow the batteries are expected to last approximately 6 months.

Operation

Water Meter
The totalizer keeps track of the gallons using a water meter. The water meter is a turbine style meter with a magnetic pickup that sends a pulse to the electronics for every revolution of the meter turbine. The meter turbine is removable for inspection and cleaning. Make sure water is bypassed or turned off when removing the meter for maintenance. The meter has a three pin plug that connects to the electronic board.

LEDs
Normal colors for the LEDs are Green, Yellow and Red. Depending on the Totalizer value

  • Green = 0 – 90% of the programmed totalizer maximum
  • Yellow = 90 – 100% of the programmed totalizer maximum
  • Red >= 100% of the programmed totalizer maximum

If there is flow the LEDs should alternately turn off in the following pattern: 1-2-3-2 (repeat). The frequency that they turn off is linearly correspondent to the flow rate being received from the water meter. For every 1 revolution from the meter, the LED pattern should be incremented to turn off the next LED. If there are no pulse edges for 2 seconds, all the LEDs will turn on solid.

If the battery is determined to be low, the middle LED (#2) will turn White. The battery is checked only once an hour to minimize the battery drain from checking the voltage.

Pushbutton
The pushbutton allows for the totalizer to be reset as well as the maximum value to be programmed

To reset the totalizer, the user should press and hold the button for 3 seconds. When the totalizer is reset LEDs should flash green 3 times to confirm that it is reset.

The push button allows the unit to be programmed for the total gallons limit. It can be programmed for the range of 10,000 gals. – 990,000 gals.

To program the maximum value using the push button: Press and hold the button while powering up the board (either battery power or 12VDC power). Once the board is powered LED 1 (left LED) will represent 100,000’s place and should be green. LED 2 (middle LED) will represent 10,000’s place and should be blue. Both LEDs will be flashing at 1 Hz the number of flashes that corresponds to the current setting for that digit placeholder. To indicate the start of the flash sequence both LEDs should flash white for 1 second, then flash the appropriate number of times. Once both are done wait 2 seconds and repeat. Below, Figure 1, is an example.

Figure 1
To change the maximum gallons setting, press and hold the button for 1 second. LED1 should turn solid green, LED2 should turn off and LED3 should flash green the number of times that corresponds to the current setting. Pressing the button for less than 1 second would increment the value, rolling over from 9 to 0. Below, Figure 2, is an example of the LEDs in this mode.
Water Totalizer Notifier

Figure 2
To save the setting for the 100,000s place and begin editing the 10,000s place press and hold the button for greater than 1 second. LED1 should turn off, LED 2 should turn solid blue, and LED3 should flash blue the number of times that corresponds to the current setting. Again, pressing the  button for less than 1 second would increment the value, rolling over from 9 to 0. Below, Figure 3, is an example of the LEDs in this mode
Water Totalizer Notifier

Figure 3
To save the setting for the 10,000s place and exit editing mode and return to the mode in Figure 1 press and hold the button for greater than 1 second. This would also save the current setting into internal EEPROM memory.
Water Totalizer Notifier

Serial Port

  • The serial port allows for quick and efficient programming through a basic terminal type interface. The board responds with a message when the enter key is pressed:
  • Totalizer Current Total: 0 gallons
  • Totalizer Current Max. Setting: 250,000 gallons (Send ‘r’ to reset) ( ## to enter new setting in 10,000s [valid range 0-99]) >:

Consult the manufacturer for more details on connecting to the boards serial port.

Power Monitoring and Battery Mode
The board monitors the 12Vdc power and the battery power. If there is a power failure and no batteries are installed, the current totalizer value will be saved to non-volatile memory. When power is resumed, the totalizer count will resume from when it had previously lost power.

The LEDs should shut off during battery mode. If the totalizer is to the yellow or red state or if the battery voltage gets low, the LEDs will flash on in the appropriate colors for 0.125 seconds every 4 seconds. If the push button is pressed in battery mode, the LEDs will turn on for 4 seconds and then return to battery mode.
