1.2 General Description
Figure 1: G2 Display Board
The Ionpure® G2 Display Board IP-POWERDSP-G2 is a digital controller designed specifically to

function as the human interface that allows an operator to control and monitor the Ionpure G2 DC
Power Controller IP-POWER600-G2.

The display board employs a 20 X 4 LCD backlit display for a clear view of data under most lighting
conditions. Parameters can be adjusted and screens can be navigated using the four membrane
switches on the front panel. Once the parameters have been configured, the setup menu may be
locked out to require a four-digit password for further modifications.
One of the two RJ-45 ports available on the back of the unit is used for connection with the G2
power controller utilizing a Cat 6 cable, Ionpure part numbers IP-CABLE50CM-G2 or IP-
CABLE2M-G2. One display board can independently operate up to sixteen G2 power controllers
when they are linked together in a daisy chain. No external power supply is required with the
G2 display board.

2 Installation
2.1 Requirements
The G2 Display Board meets NEMA 4/IP65 requirements when properly installed. The unit is
intended to be mounted into an enclosed panel with the supplied gasket to provide a seal at the
panel cutout and it is secured from the back with the provided nuts.
The environmental limits for operation are 0 to 50 °C at up to 95% relative humidity

(non-condensing).
Consider the display’s dimensions shown in Figure 2 to select the proper size for the panel.
Figure 2: G2 Display Dimensions
All connections and settings in this section should be made without

energizing the power controller(s). Review other safety procedures prior to
working in the panel.

2.2 Panel Mount
To mount the G2 display into a panel:
a. Prepare a cutout and four mounting holes in the door of the panel as shown in Figure 3. All
cutouts should be clean and free of burrs.
Figure 3: Panel Cutout Dimensions
b. Install the display board on the door of the enclosure using the supplied hardware and
gasket.
2.3 Connections
2.3.1 Connections to a Single G2 Power Controller

To connect the G2 display to a single G2 power controller:
a. Connect one end of a standard Cat 6 cable to one of the two RJ45 ports on the back
of the display.
b. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the two RJ45 ports on the G2 power
controller.

c. Once the power controller is turned on, the display should power on.
Figure 4 illustrates the connections described above:
Figure 4: Connections to a Single G2 Power Controller
2.3.2 Connections to Multiple G2 Power Controllers

a. Connect one end of a standard Cat 6 cable to one of the two RJ45 ports on the back
of the display.
b. Connect the other end of the cable to one of the two RJ45 ports on the first G2
power controller.
c. Use additional standard Cat 6 cables to daisy-chain other power controllers, as

shown in Figure 5.
d. Once any of the power controllers is turned on, the display should power on.

Figure 5: Connections to Multiple G2 Power Controllers
2.4 Power Controller Setup
2.4.1 DC Output Current Range Selection

To limit the possibility of applying excessive current to a CEDI module, it is recommended to
select an appropriate output current range with DIP switch SW1 of the G2 Power Controller as
described in Figure 6. Select the current range that can limit the current closest to the
maximum value that could be required by the module. Table 3 of the G2 Power Controller
manual lists the maximum DC currents required by each module.
Figure 6: Current Range Selection DIP Switch

The G2 display will detect the selected current range upon startup and will limit the DC output
current setpoint (A DC out) to this range.
2.4.2 Unit ID Selection

A unique identification number/letter needs to be assigned to each power controller that is
connected to a G2 display so they can be recognized without conflicts. This is done via rotary
switch SW2 of the G2 Power Controller. Each SW2 position corresponds to a channel or
module (MD) identification number on the display board, as shown in Table 1.
Table 1: Unit ID Selection
SW2 Position G2 Display Channel

can be identified under the ALARMS submenu.

Figure 9: OVERVIEW Screen Example
RUN: this submenu provides operational data and access to adjust the DC output current of
the selected power controller, as well as access to submenus SETUP, ALARMS, LOGS and
DIAGNOSTICS.
There are 5 pages in this submenu. Data is grouped as follows:
PAGE 1:
Figure 10: RUN Screen – Page 1
V DC out: actual DC output voltage from the power controller to the selected
CEDI module.
A DC out: setpoint for the DC output current from the power controller to the
selected CEDI module. Press the ENTER key to adjust this value using the UP
or DOWN keys. Press ENTER again once the desired value has been set. This
setpoint can not be set to a value outside the current range selected in the power
controller via DIP switch SW1.
Ohms pres: actual resistance in ohms of the selected CEDI module. Resistance
values above 999.9 are represented with “***HI”. When the DC output current is
zero, resistance will be represented with “----“ to indicate that resistance can not
be measured.
Ohms init: initial resistance in ohms of the selected CEDI module. This value is
captured when the power controller has operated continuously for 2 hours after

48 hours of cumulative operation from the initial startup. Resistance values

above 999.9 are represented as “***HI”.
PAGE 2:
Ohms chg%: percentage of change in CEDI module resistance from initial

(Ohms init) to present (Ohms pres). Positive values represent an increase in
resistance and negative values represent a decrease in resistance, in reference
to the initial value.
V AC in: actual AC input voltage to the selected power controller. If this value is
higher than 726 VAC, a high AC input alarm will trigger.
A AC in: actual AC input current drawn by the selected power controller.
Power(kW): actual power consumption (Volts DC x Amps DC) in kilowatts of the

selected CEDI module.
PAGE 3:

Op.hours: hours in operation since the initial startup. Time is accrued only while
the Remote ON/OFF input of the power controller is closed.
Ic (VDC): estimated value of analog signal between terminals Ic+/Ic- of the

selected power controller.
Vm (VDC): estimated value of analog signal between terminals Vm+/Vm- of the

Im (VDC): estimated value of analog signal between terminals Im+/Im- of the

PAGE 4:
Board temp: temperature in degrees Celsius of the selected power controller’s

heatsink. If this value is higher than 64±4oC, a high temperature alarm will
trigger.
Press ENTER to activate the cursor and use the UP or DOWN arrows to select
any of the following submenus: SETUP, ALARMS or LOGS. Press ENTER
again to access the selected option.
PAGE 5:

DIAGNOSTICS: press ENTER to access the DIAGNOSTICS submenu.
SETUP: this submenu provides access to adjust the following settings: Ohms limit, VDC limit,
Ext control, Change password? and Change module?
This submenu is protected by a 4-digit password. The factory default password is 0000 and it
can be changed by the user.
The setting options are grouped in 2 pages:
PAGE 1:
Figure 15: SETUP Screen – Page 1
Ohms limit: the default and maximum setpoint is 996 ohms. When set correctly,
this value will alert the operator of a possible issue with the CEDI module due to
scaling, fouling or any other issue that could cause an abnormal increase in the
resistance of the module. This value should be adjusted to match a module’s
high resistance limit as follows: once the module has come to steady state
(typically after about 48 hours of actual operating time), set the Ohms limit to 1.5
times the steady-state electrical resistance. This is higher than the
recommendation in the EDI manual (25%) for resistance change to allow for
temperature fluctuations.
VDC limit: the default and maximum setpoint is 600 Volts. This voltage setting
will limit the actual DC output voltage of the power controller. It is recommended
that this number be set at the “Maximum Required DC Volts” value for the
specific CEDI module, as described in Table 3 of the G2 Power Controller
manual. If the actual DC voltage reaches the setpoint, a high DC voltage alarm
will trigger.
Ext control: the default setting is “No”. Changing this setting to “Yes” disables
the DC output current control capabilities of the display board so an analog
device can be used to control the DC output current of the power controller with
a 0-5 VDC signal at terminals Ic+/Ic-.

Change password?: press ENTER and use the UP/DOWN keys to change the
password of the SETUP submenu.
PAGE 2:
Figure 16: SETUP Screen – Page 2
Change module?: it is recommended to use this option to reset all historic data
after a module replacement. Pressing ENTER will reset the following:
- Op.hours value in RUN submenu
- Ohms init value in RUN submenu
- Resistance alarm in ALARMS submenu
- All logs in the LOGS submenu
ALARMS: this submenu displays the status of alarms and provides the option to clear them.
There are 2 pages in this submenu. Data is grouped as follows:
PAGE 1:
Figure 17: ALARMS Screen – Page 1

Clear alarms?: if any alarms are active, pressing ENTER on this page will
activate the cursor to change the “N” to “Y” using the UP or DOWN arrows.
Pressing ENTER once “Y” is selected will clear all alarms that are active (not
“ok”).
Input VAC: reports the level status of the actual AC input voltage to the power
controller. The alarm will be “ok” if the input voltage is lower than 726 VAC; it will
be “hi” if it exceeds this value.
Output VDC: reports the level status of the actual DC output voltage from the
power controller. The alarm will be “ok” if the output voltage is lower than the
value set for VDC limit in the SETUP submenu; it will be “hi” if it exceeds this
value.
Resistance: reports the level status of the actual resistance of the CEDI module.
The alarm will be “ok” if the resistance is lower than the value set for Ohms limit
in the SETUP submenu; it will be “hi” if it exceeds this value.
PAGE 2:
Figure 18: ALARMS Screen – Page 2
Board temp: reports the level status of the actual temperature of the power
controller’s heatsink. The alarm will be “ok” if the temperature is lower than
64±4oC, and it will be “hi” if it exceeds this value.
Unit status: reports the status of the power controller’s power stage and
temperature sensor. The alarm will be “ok” if no issues are found, and it will be
“fail” otherwise.
LOGS: this submenu provides access to historical data recorded in the power controller. Data
is grouped in three logs: MAX VALUES, MIN VALUES and MODULE OHMS&AMPS.
Press ENTER to activate the cursor and use the UP or DOWN arrows to select any of the

4 Getting Started
4.1 Initial Startup

The startup sequence depends on the design of the CEDI system. Please consult the Operation
Manual for the CEDI system.
The following startup procedure is only an example for a typical single module CEDI system:
1. Close the main disconnect switch (or circuit breaker) for the CEDI system.
2. Open the appropriate valves and start the pretreatment equipment, such as the reverse
osmosis (RO) system, upstream of the CEDI system.
3. Adjust the flow rates of the dilute and concentrate streams through the module.
4. For each operating channel on the G2 display, enter the RUN submenu and adjust “A
DC out” to set the DC output current to the value calculated by the Ionpure Performance
Projection Program (Current Startup Calculator). The power controller will maintain the
current at that setting if the required voltage to drive the current is lower than the
maximum DC voltage available.
5. Verify that the DC output is removed when the CEDI module flow is interrupted.
Operation with DC power on and insufficient water flow can cause

irreparable damage to the CEDI module(s) and system.
4.2 Output Current Adjustment

The DC output current may need to be adjusted if there is a change in feed water conditions and/or
flow rate.

GENERAL DESCRIPTION
®
 The IONPURE Snubber Circuit boards (IP-SNUBCIRC-1PH and IP-SNUBCIRC-3PH) prevent
damage to Ionpure DC power controllers in the event of noisy power sources due to local conditions.
 The IP-SNUBCIRC-1PH snubber circuit is a pre-wired board containing one RC circuit for installation
on the secondary side of an isolation transformer.
 The IP-SNUBCIRC-3PH snubber circuit is a pre-wired board containing three RC circuits for a
transformer with a three-phase primary.
 The snubber circuits can be used on single CEDI module systems as well as multi-module systems.
 The snubber circuits are meant for use with the following Ionpure single-phase DC power controller
boards:
 IP-200VPCB
 IP-400VPCB
 IP-600VPCB
 IP-600VPCB-CE
SUPPRESSION OF VOLTAGE SPIKES
The recommended design of a CEDI power supply includes an AC contactor to switch the AC input to
Power Controller. The contactor coil is energized when there is water flow through the CEDI module(s).
Possible locations for the contactor are on the primary or the secondary side of the isolation transformer.
When a contactor installed on the primary side closes, there is an inrush current through the primary
windings of the transformer as its core is energized. Mechanical chattering or bouncing of the contacts in
the contactor interrupts the inrush current and results in arcs and voltage spikes across the contacts. The
voltage spikes are transmitted to the secondary windings through magnetic coupling, which could cause
damage to the Power Controller. Ionpure Service Bulletin 2003-02 discusses this issue and recommends
two possible solutions:
1. A voltage snubber circuit on the AC mains (Figure 1), or

2. Moving the contactor to the transformer secondary (Figure 2)

FIGURE 1. TYPICAL POWER SUPPLY WITH IP-SNUBCIRC-3PH SNUBBER CIRCUIT
FIGURE 2. TYPICAL POWER SUPPLY WITH CONTACTOR AT THE SECONDARY OF THE ISOLATION TRANSFORMER

The contactor at the secondary keeps the transformer from enduring high inrush currents when the
Power Controller is turned on, since the isolation transformer is already energized at the time the
contactor closes. Mechanical chattering or bouncing of the contacts in the contactor still generate voltage
spikes, so further testing was performed to compare the effectiveness of these two solutions. Figure 4,
below, gives the result of the testing.
The SCR’s used on the single-phase power controller boards are rated for a maximum peak voltage of
1,200 volts. Figure 4 shows that moving the contactor to the secondary alone may not be sufficient if the
transformer secondary voltage is set to 660 VAC. In such cases, the addition of a voltage snubber is
recommended.

FIGURE 3. COMPARISON OF VOLTAGE SPIKES MEASURED AT THE SECONDARY OF AN ISOLATION TRANSFORMER
A voltage snubber consists of a resistor in series with a capacitor. This combination is used to suppress
voltage spikes that can damage the Power Controller. The snubber should be installed downstream of
the contactor that will switch AC power to the Power Controller(s). The location of the contactor (see
Figures 2 and 3) will determine the type of snubber to use (single-phase or three-phase) as shown in
Figures 5 and 6.
