D.) Run the unit until all air is purged from the water circuit then turn the power switch to the “off” position and disconnect the power cord from the receptacle.

E.) Proceed with the connection of the pressure line to the wash cabinet. The RNS-3-SS is now ready for normal operation.

NOTE: If the RNS is being used with a manual wash unit, follow all the instructions above except the pressure line will have a spray wand attached. Air purging can be done by depressing the trigger of the wand while powering up the RNS as described above.

OPERATION

CONTROL CONSOLE

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

The RNS-3-SS is an automatic “ON DEMAND” water supply system. Once the unit has been set up and had the initial start up procedure completed, it is ready to operate with no further requirements.

Simply put the power switch in the “ON” position and when the pressure switch senses a drop in pressure or fl ow demand, it will start the pump system as needed and shut off automatically when the demand has ceased.

PLUMBING CIRCUIT THEORY OF OPERATION

REFERENCE FIGURE 3-3

Water is pulled from the bottom outlet port of water tank through the shut off valve and a 100 mesh strainer to the pump inlet.

The water from the pressure side (outlet side) of the pump fl ows through a reverse fl ow check valve, past the main system relief valve, pressure sensor, and gauge. The relief valve is activated if there is a failure in the pump or pressure switch that could cause over pressurization to occur.

Water is then pushed through the 5 micron filter assembly to the solenoid operated water valve.

Under normal operating conditions the solenoid operated valve for the recirculate mode is closed and is activated only when the recirculate function is actuated.

As demand/flow is required at the wash cabinet, the output water goes into the sump area of the wash cabinet base where a float switch is located.

When the water in the sump reaches a depth adequate to energize the float switch, it then energizes the sump pump mounted on the back of the wash cabinet that pumps the spent water back to the RNS return inlet.

As the water passes through the inlet it is dumped into a 50 micron bag filter to remove any debris larger than 50 microns.

The water is held in storage for recycling through the system.

ELECTRICAL CIRCUIT THEORY OF OPERATION

REFERENCE FIGURE 3-4

When the power switch is activated the pump motor and 12 volt DC control circuit are energized. The green power indicator light (LT1) is also energized. When the pump reaches the maximum pressure preset at the pressure switch, the switch (PS) opens and disconnects the pump motor. As a pressure drop is sensed, PS closes and initiates pump start up. PS is preset at the factory for 55 - 70 psi.

If the water level falls below the minimum level required for proper operation, fl oat switch (FS1) energizes the low water indicator light (LT2) as well as relay (CR1), which in turn closes the solenoid operated valve to the wash cabinet (CR1-2) and also opens (MS1-1) and (MS1-2), disconnecting the pump circuit.

In the event of pH imbalance, the proper chemical must be added and the recirculate mode should be energized. Actuating the recirculate energizes relay (CR1) and a timer relay (TR1). (MS1-1) and (MS1-2), and the solenoid operated valve for water circulation to tank (via CR1-1) are energized. The timer relay (TR1) is preset for a 20 minute period. After the unit times out and if the pH imbalance has been corrected, all circuits can resume their normal state, ready for operation.

MAINTENANCE

It is imperative all equipment be inspected and maintained on a regular basis to ensure a long dependable life from your investment. The following information is a rule of thumb only and should be adjusted based on; environment, amount of run time, condition of batteries to be cleaned, etc. As you fi rst start a battery cleaning program, you may fi nd it necessary to have increased inspection and maintenance requirements. But if a good regimen is followed and batteries are kept in a cleaner state, these increases should subside and you will be able to get a better feel for your own individual scheduling of maintenance.

PERIODIC INSPECTIONS

On the following page is an operator/maintenance spread sheet for daily and weekly inspections. The daily tasks are noted by a (D) and the weekly tasks are noted by a (W) in the task column. Copies should be made and stored in an area of your battery room or maintenance department for accessibility by authorized personnel. Some of the inspections noted may require the removal of a particular access panel to accomplish. Refer to the parts/component location figures further back in this manual.

PERIODIC MAINTENANCE

A.) Inlet Strainer Screen

The inlet strainer screen should be inspected and cleaned at regular intervals. A good starting point would be monthly until such time as you can validate the correct time frame for your application.

PROCEDURE: REFERENCE FIGURE 4-2A

1. Remove the front panel to access the plumbing compartment (**See SAFETY WARNING #5 from page ii). Turn the main water shut off valve to the “OFF” position.
2. Push the RECIRCULATE button and allow the unit to de-pressurize for 5 seconds and then turn the main power switch to the “OFF” position.
DO NOT allow the unit to run more than 10 seconds with the water valve shut off. Serious pump damage could occur.

11. Re-install front panel.
12. Normal operation can now be resumed.

FIGURE 4-2A

B.) 5 Micron Filter Cartridge Replacement

The filter cartridge should be changed on a regular basis in order to keep down any restrictions of fl ow in the system. This may be required more frequently as you first start your new battery cleaning program. Symptoms of a restricted filter are reduced flow to the wash cabinet or wand and/or short cycling of the pump pressure switch.

PROCEDURE: REFERENCE FIGURE 4-2B

• Remove the front panel to access the plumbing compartment (**See SAFETY WARNING #5 from page ii). Turn the main water shut off valve to the “OFF” position.
• Push the RECIRCULATE button and allow the unit to de-pressurize for 5 seconds and then turn the main power switch to the “OFF” position.
DO NOT allow the unit to run more than 10 seconds with the water valve shut off. Serious pump damage could occur.
• Place a container under the filter housing to capture the water when the housing is loosened.
• Unscrew the filter housing bowl until flow of water starts. Allow to drain until flow has diminished.
• Remove the housing bowl to access the filter cartridge and remove the cartridge from barrel.
• Place the new cartridge into the housing barrel.
• Verify the large O-ring is in the groove of the housing barrel and re-attach. Hand tighten, then apply one quarter turn more with a strap wrench.
• Turn the main water shut off valve to the “ON” position, depress the recirculation button to allow the unit to cycle and remove the air from the system.
• Return power switch to the “ON” position, depress the recirculation button to allow the unit to cycle and remove the air from the system.
• Allow to stand a few minutes and inspect for leaks. Correct as needed.
• Re-install front panel.
• Normal operation can now be resumed.

C.) Return Inlet Bag Filter The bag filter should be replaced as required, when the return water from the sump pump starts to back up onto the bag mounting platform or before.

PROCEDURE: REFERENCE FIGURE 4-2C

1. Turn the power switch to the “OFF” position.

1. Remove the water tank cover by unhooking the four latches located on the sides of the unit. Assistance is recommended for removal of cover.

1. Remove the bag filter by lifting the top ring of the filter and slowly sliding it to either side of the bag mounting platform. (The return line assembly may be removed for easier access if desired.)

1. Allow excess water to drain off bag filter before removal.

1. Place a new bag filter into the mounting hole and replace tank cover. (Replace the return line assembly if removed)

FIGURE 4-2B

pH METER AND MONITORING

pH LEVEL MONITORING

Consistent monitoring of pH levels in recirculation and neutralization systems is the single most important step in preventing part failures, insuring smooth operation and extending the life of the system. Failures due to improper pH levels will not be covered under warranty.

The pH level should never drop below 5.0 or rise above 9.0. Allowing the pH levels outside these parameters will result in premature failure of the sump pump and fl oat switch in the battery wash cabinet. Left unchecked, further damage may be done to the relief valve and the system pump in the RNS.

It is recommended that pH levels are checked at least daily under normal conditions. If a large number of batteries are going to be washed or if batteries that have not been well maintained are going to be washed for the first time, it is recommended that the pH be checked after every second or third battery and neutralizer added accordingly. After several pH tests, adjust the frequency of testing accordingly.

The pH level should be checked at the start of each shift as a part of the daily checklist of the entire battery handling system.

pH METER USE AND CARE

It is important that the pH meter sent with the RNS-3-SS is properly maintained and calibrated in order to ensure that correct pH readings are displayed when testing the water in the RNS-3-SS tank.

BHS provides 2 different bottles of pH solution used to calibrate the pH meter. One bottle contains solution at 7.0 pH and the other bottle contains solution at 4.0 pH. To calibrate the unit, first immerse the probe end of the unit in to the 7.0 pH solution and use the screwdriver provided with the unit (or a very small standard screwdriver) to turn the screw inside of the hole below the display until the display reads 7.0. Then immerse the probe end of the unit into the 4.0 pH solution and confirm the reading goes down to 4.0 pH +/- 0.1. If the unit reads properly when switched between the 2 solutions, the unit is properly calibrated. If the reading in the display does not go down to 4.0 pH, the bulb on the probe end of the pH meter may be dried out and will not obtain a true reading. At this point you can try soaking the probe end of the unit for a couple of hours in the 7.0 pH solution to see if the meter will re-hydrate. If it will not, the meter will need to be replaced.

To prevent the bulb from drying out you will need to keep a small amount of the 7.0 pH solution in the cap of the pH meter. When the meter is not in use, it must be stored standing upright and not laying on its side.

These procedures are outlined in the instructions that come with the pH meter and are available from the BHS Tech support group.
