to carry out a measurement according to DIN VDE701/702.
See also service manual DGUV-3. Checking all pertinent DIN
VDE regulations is to be carried out in three steps.
– Inspecting: for instance visual inspection of clamping
units, contacts, PE contacts, possibly crushed cables
– Testing: for instance pull-off test of the plug-in con-
tacts on the radiator and replacing them if necessary,
– Measuring: for instance
• Continuous connection of the protective earth
conductor system (low Ω)
• Loop resistance RS,IK (only carry out if there is no
ELCB, will trigger!)
• Contact voltage UB (at FI/RCD)
Residual current measurement

Osmosis/ reverse osmosis general

3. Osmosis/ reverse osmosis

general
Osmosis occurs when water with two different concentra-
tions is separated by a semi-permeable membrane (low or
no salt content/ high salt content). The water on the side
with the low concentration (low salt content) flows through
the membrane onto the side with the higher concentration
(higher salt content). This increases the level on the side
with the higher concentration.

If an external pressure is applied to the side with the

higher concentration, the flow can be reversed.

10 SM-22873-002-EN / 17.01.22 HOBART

Service Manual ROI EN
Osmosis/ reverse osmosis general

This principle is used by reverse osmosis systems to pro-

duce pure water called "permeate".

HOBART SM-22873-002-EN / 17.01.22 11

EN ROI
Description
4. Description
The RO-I is installed in two different external casings (for
bases of "GC" series and bases of "GX" series).
Three hydraulic connections are located on the rear of the
system:
6. Water supply (untreated water) (G ¾”)
7. Water drain (permeate) (G ¾”) to the dishwasher
8. Drain pipe (concentrate).
All inputs and outputs are processed via the control unit
(STE) of the dishwasher.
Machine ON, filling valve Y1 of the dishwasher is activated,
with 2s delay the inlet valve Y8 of the RO-I follows.
Then the water flows through the activated carbon filter
with quick-action locking system. The activated carbon filter
removes the unpleasant taste of chlorine without impairing
the desired mineral properties of the water. These activa-
ted carbon filters are in addition able to absorb possible
organic trace matter (micropollutants) as well as different
chemical substances (organic and inorganic, such as for
instance chlorine compounds resulting from disinfection of
the water, haloforms, pesticides and tensides).
A low pressure sensor S9 to control the pressure at the
intake is installed downstream of the activated carbon filter.
If this sensor is released, the booster pump M12 starts.
The water then continues to be pumped by the brass vane
pump, which is connected to the M12 motor. The water
is then routed at high pressure (must range between 6.5
and 9 bar) to the reverse osmosis membranes. The per-
meate flows from the main pipe of the membrane and is
routed directly to the machine's filling valve. A backflow
preventer must also be used at the drain (installation kit
01-539385-001).
Discharge rate and recovery ratio can be set at the capillary
drain tube (depending on the flow rate colour-coded white,
black or blue).
Once the level in the boiler has been reached, all previously
active outputs switch off (filling valve Y1, inlet valve Y8,
booster pump M12).
The leakage sensor S8 is located on the left-hand side of the
system. In case of a leak, the system stops automatically.
Message 064 appears on the display.

This icon points out warnings or other important
information for device handling. When this icon
is showing, heightened attention is necessary.
This icon refers to tools required for setting or
repair.
Always pull out the mains plug when carrying out
any work on the RO system.
Additional information:
In standby mode, the osmosis system automatically
switches on rinse mode every 6 hours to maintain the
membranes.
We recommend that after switching off the machine, the
power supply is not interrupted and the water supply is
left open.
If the osmosis system is disconnected from the power and
water supply for more than 30 days, the membranes should
be rinsed thoroughly prior to restart.
Procedure as follows:
1. Replace pre-filter (recommendation)
2. Switch on machine (check water supply and chemicals
level)
3. Reset timer for pre-filter
4. Fill machine
5. Pump out machine
6. Refill machine

is: 0022

Access to the setting parameters directly at the

machine:
• Switch off machine via OFF button (left-hand but-
ton).
• Press OFF button for 5 seconds until the following
screen appears on the display (one half of the
start button is red, the other half blue).

– Enter code 0022 and confirm.

– In the meantime, the machines have their own para-
meter set, so that no special parameter settings are
necessary.

Important points in respect of installation

6.8. Function test / check leak tightness

Test the machine function and check for possible leaks

6.9. Initial startup

Carry out the following steps at initial startup:

- Fill machine

- Completely drain the machine

CAUTION
This procedure removes any antifreeze from the
RO-I and the machine.

6.10. Lowering the rinse aid dosing volu-

me

(0.1 g/l) Use suitable rinse aid, e.g. HLD 5000. (Osmosis
water has approx. 15-20 µS)

Then set concentration to 0.1g/l (is absolutely sufficient).

Wrong rinse aid or a concentration that is set too high can
lead to foaming!!

6.11. Carrying out and recording the

DGUV-3 measurement.

Carry out the DGUV-3 measurement and record the values.
