and transporting it.
• When installing the unit, select a location where the unit can
easily be connected to the water supply network. A connection
to the sewage system (at least DN 50 and refer to appendix

Chapter 7: Initial commissioning
7.1 Initial commissioning
• The BWT SEPTRON® Line 31-61 unit may only be operated under the specified operating conditions.
Any inadmissible use can cause malfunctions and safety shutdowns to the device.
• It is essential to observe the instructions of the enclosed “initial commissioning manual“.
• In order to prevent microbial contamination due to long periods of still stand, it is recommended to start up the equipment as fast
as possible after the delivery. If the storage time however exceeds a period of two weeks, we recommend a disinfection procedure
according to Part 10.6.2. We also recommend an disinfection, if the equipment has been out of operation for a longer period of
time (but not for short periods of time, such as the operation at the interval mode!). The risk of microbial contamination correlates
also with the room temperature.
• When the disinfection and first commissioning is done, the feed water quality must be checked with a zero-test sample.
• Never operate the unit without the provided units housing covers.
• Please check before the fist start up process that all feed- and concentrate drain lines are correctly installed.

Chapter 8: Operation and control
8.1 Brief overview of operating modes

The BWT SEPTRON® Line unit is equipped with a modern programmable logic control (PLC) unit and a touch screen display.
All the operational parameters, functions and operating data can be change via the touch screen display.
The program control is designed as programmable step control with variable step times.
With the activated program control the following operation modes and programs can be shown:
Table 4: Overview of different operating modes
Operation mode: Description:
The EDI/RO unit is switched “OFF“. No activation by an external request signal takes place
OFF (e.g. level signal of ultra pure tank). The electric power supply is ON.
When the external lock is activated the unit remains in operation mode “OFF“.
The unit is in the mode “Ready / STAND BY“ and starts or stops according to the
external request signals of the level sensor.
As an option a recycling operation is possible by using a

OPERATION
soft water separation tank and the recirculation valve.
The external level signal could be implemented as an analogue (4-20mA) or a digital (switch) signal.
After the defined start-up sequences the BWT SEPTRON® Line changes into the step ”PRODUCTION“-
mode.
It is the mode of manual operation of program steps and all actuators.

All defined program steps are activated manually and independent from the programmed
TEST mode step times at the automatic mode.
Each of the actuators/sensors can be activated or deactivated selectively within the
“REVISION mode”.
The BWT SEPTRON® Line unit is switched on for a programmed period without active external signal
INTERVAL mode (level). The program steps are similar to those of the “operation mode”, but are without production
release in front of the diluate tank.

Chapter 10: Maintenance and service
10.1 Maintenance and wearing parts

In general every kind of technical equipment needs regular maintenance and inspection of its components.
The maintenance must be always performed by qualified personnel in order to avoid downtime and system failures. Observe all
directions relating to safety and risks on the facility! Maintain all directions relating to safety and risks completely and in readable
condition! Supplement operating instructions by directions concerning special operational conditions, e.g. in relation to work
organisation, work processes, employed staff - including duties of supervision and reporting. If required by regulations use personal
protective equipment.
In order to assure a save, economical and long-lasting operation of your system, we recommend you to conclude a service contract.
The interval of maintenance works will be individually matched to your requirements. Please contact us for further details.
The enclosed inspection log has to be kept close by the device and is updated, whenever a maintenance work is performed.

Depending on the feed water quality of the customer installation
side and the maintenance plan in Part 10.1 the exchange of the
water inlet filter should be done accordingly.
The following materials and tools are required:
✔ 1 pc. filter element 10“, 5μm, Item No. 142 187,

(BWT SEPTRON® Line 31-41)
✔ 1 pc. filter element 20“, 5μm, Item No. 142 188,

✔ Clean microfiber cloth in order to wipe up
water drops and water traces
Note: To maintain a continuous diluate production, the

filter change of the filter element should only be done
at a production break.
The change of the inlet filter should be performed as follows:
✔ Switching the power supply to Off position

✔ The unit is in operating mode “READY“ (STANDBY)
✔ Shut down the device by tapping the “OFF”-button
Fig. 69: B21.01 (20“ filter cup for SL 51 and SL 61)
✔ Observe: Close the water inlet of the SEPTRON® Line unit
✔ Open the right door of the SEPTRON® Line housing
✔ Open the drain valve S21.21 at the bottom
of inlet filter B21.01 to release pressure.
✔ Unscrew the filter cup B21.01 clockwise and pull it down-
wards including the inserted filter element.
✔ Now remove the used filter element from the filter cup
and pour out the water from the filter cup.
✔ Clean dry the filter cup and the (upper) mounting block with
a dry clean and dry microfiber cloth.
✔ Insert a new filter element into in the empty filter cup. Take
care that the filter element position is properly centred in the
centre of the filter cup.
✔ Mount the filter cup including the new element at his screw
thread back into the filter block. Observe that the filter element
remains centred and the sealing is at its correct position.
Observe: Never use once inserted filter elements again!
