ELECTRONIC DEMAND CONTROLS

VIP Controls for Commercial / Industrial

Water Softeners, Filters and Dealkalizers

The VIP Electronic Demand control goes beyond state-of-the-art to set a new
standard in water softener, filter and dealkalizer controls.

V – Volume Filters – Initiates backwashing of filter

media based on volume throughput for
I – Initiated single, duplex parallel or duplex alternating
P – Programmable systems. Can also be programmed as a
time clock with maximum days between
regenerations on a single system.

Softeners – Initiates regeneration of the

resin based on volume throughput for single,
duplex parallel or duplex alternating
systems. Can also be programmed as a
time clock with maximum days between
regenerations on a single system. Provides
a 10 amp output to control a brine pump
during brine draw cycle.

Dealkalizers – Initiates regeneration of

the resin based on volume throughput for
single, duplex parallel or duplex alternating
systems. Can also be programmed as a
time clock with maximum days between
regenerations on a single system. Provides
a 10 amp output to control a caustic pump
during the brine draw cycle.

A Significant Development In Water Treatment Control Technology

The Ecodyne Industrial VIP (Volume-Initiated Programmable) Electronic Demand controls for commercial
water softeners and filters represents a significant development in water treatment system control technology.
The controls are microprocessor-based electronics, with self-diagnostics. They are easily programmable, they
display information about the system operating status, anticipate future operating conditions, and adjust
themselves to changes in water usage. The VIP Electronic Demand controls provide the water treatment
equipment owner/operator with versatility, economy, and reliability of operation. The VIP controls are part of a
broad Ecodyne Industrial program bringing price, quality, and value to the water treatment industry.

 It programs itself. You input vital data with a keypad (water hardness, resin volume, salt dosage, etc.) and
the Electronic Demand control calculates the math and programs its own operating parameters for highest
efficiency operation. Can be reprogrammed as needed.

Advanced electronics. All PC board mounted, with 4-button keypad and alphanumeric LCD menu
display. Two high-powered outputs, two switch inputs, two 10 amp outputs for service and regeneration
signals, one 10 amp output for brine pump or caustic pump operation during regeneration, single high-speed
turbine input, safe 24-volt operation. Main memory holds time and status data forever, so power outages do
not cause memory loss; no need to reprogram. All contained in a Nema-4X water-tight enclosure. Built-in salt
minder tells user when salt level is low.

It’s self-diagnostic. When equipment malfunctions, the Electronic Demand control emits a tone to alert
operating personnel, and can provide a 10 amp output to a remote alarm. A built-in piezoelectric speaker
transmits a tone alert when an error has occurred. A diagnostics level within the control is provided to aid in
troubleshooting.

It foretells the future. Main memory tracks operating parameters and accumulates data, and a “look-
ahead” feature adjusts regenerations / backwashes as needed.

Easy installation. Main power cord for pre-wired valves plug into the Electronic Demand control through
water-tight twist lock connectors and it is ready for operation. Modular design allows simple addition and
reconfiguration for single, parallel, or alternating operation. Control is wall or pipe mounted.

Easy start-up. Mount the control, connect to the valve, program, and walk away.
We can’t say that it controls cost less than comparable controls because there are no comparables. So we
go one better — the Electronic Demand control is priced lower than other controls that may require more
frequent service calls and, the costliest problem of all, less equipment down-time. In addition, it costs less to
acquire.

The VIP Control is available in three models. The VIP-I controls one or two tanks in single,
parallel, or alternating mode with one meter. The VIP-II controls two, three, or four tanks in
parallel or alternating mode with one meter on each tank. The VIP-III controls two, three, or
four tanks in parallel or alternating mode. The VIP-III can move units from stand-by to
service based on the required flow rate. When service flow increases, units are moved to
service position and as requirements decrease, units are placed back in stand-by, known as
VARIABLE DEMAND.
