Figure 1: Ionpure Touch Panel

The Ionpure® Touch Panel, IP-POWERDSP-TP, is a slim-form operator interface with a bright
touchscreen display designed specifically to function as the human interface that allows an operator
to control and monitor the Ionpure Digital Communication Rectifier, IP-DCR600V15A-M.

IP-POWERDSP-TP-MAN REV. 0 Page 5 of 16

IONPURE® IONPURE Touch Panel – IP-POWERDSP-TP-MAN

The touchscreen display employs a bright 480 x 272 pixel touchscreen display for a clear view of
data under most lighting conditions. Ionpure and Nexed module operating parameters can be
adjusted and screens can be navigated using the on-screen buttons.

The COM (DB-9) port on the back of the unit is used for connection with the DCR Power Controller
utilizing a Modbus RTU communication cable, Ionpure part number IP-RTUCABLE-DCR
(W2T381957). Alternatively, a custom cable or adapter (RJ45 to DB-9) can be sourced locally. One
touchscreen display can independently operate up to sixteen DCR Power Controllers when they are
linked together in a daisy chain with a standard CAT 6 cable. A 24 VDC, 300 mA (maximum)
external power supply is required with the Ionpure Touch Panel.

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 the DIP Switches of the DCR Power Controller
as described in Figure 4. 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 DCR Power Controller
manual (IP-DCR600V15A-MAN) lists the maximum DC currents required by each module.

trigger.

4 Getting Started

4.1 Initial Start-up

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 Touch Panel display, touch the current feedback
number to adjust the DC current setpoint 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 re-adjusted if there is a change in feed water conditions
and/or flow rate.
