Un bon manuel d’utilisation

Les règles imposent au revendeur l'obligation de fournir à l'acheteur, avec des marchandises, le manuel d’utilisation GE E4H Series. Le manque du manuel d’utilisation ou les informations incorrectes fournies au consommateur sont à la base d'une plainte pour non-conformité du dispositif avec le contrat. Conformément à la loi, l’inclusion du manuel d’utilisation sous une forme autre que le papier est autorisée, ce qui est souvent utilisé récemment, en incluant la forme graphique ou électronique du manuel GE E4H Series ou les vidéos d'instruction pour les utilisateurs. La condition est son caractère lisible et compréhensible.

Qu'est ce que le manuel d’utilisation?

Le mot vient du latin "Instructio", à savoir organiser. Ainsi, le manuel d’utilisation GE E4H Series décrit les étapes de la procédure. Le but du manuel d’utilisation est d’instruire, de faciliter le démarrage, l'utilisation de l'équipement ou l'exécution des actions spécifiques. Le manuel d’utilisation est une collection d'informations sur l'objet/service, une indice.

Malheureusement, peu d'utilisateurs prennent le temps de lire le manuel d’utilisation, et un bon manuel permet non seulement d’apprendre à connaître un certain nombre de fonctionnalités supplémentaires du dispositif acheté, mais aussi éviter la majorité des défaillances.

Donc, ce qui devrait contenir le manuel parfait?

Tout d'abord, le manuel d’utilisation GE E4H Series devrait contenir:
- informations sur les caractéristiques techniques du dispositif GE E4H Series
- nom du fabricant et année de fabrication GE E4H Series
- instructions d'utilisation, de réglage et d’entretien de l'équipement GE E4H Series
- signes de sécurité et attestations confirmant la conformité avec les normes pertinentes

Pourquoi nous ne lisons pas les manuels d’utilisation?

Habituellement, cela est dû au manque de temps et de certitude quant à la fonctionnalité spécifique de l'équipement acheté. Malheureusement, la connexion et le démarrage GE E4H Series ne suffisent pas. Le manuel d’utilisation contient un certain nombre de lignes directrices concernant les fonctionnalités spécifiques, la sécurité, les méthodes d'entretien (même les moyens qui doivent être utilisés), les défauts possibles GE E4H Series et les moyens de résoudre des problèmes communs lors de l'utilisation. Enfin, le manuel contient les coordonnées du service GE en l'absence de l'efficacité des solutions proposées. Actuellement, les manuels d’utilisation sous la forme d'animations intéressantes et de vidéos pédagogiques qui sont meilleurs que la brochure, sont très populaires. Ce type de manuel permet à l'utilisateur de voir toute la vidéo d'instruction sans sauter les spécifications et les descriptions techniques compliquées GE E4H Series, comme c’est le cas pour la version papier.

Pourquoi lire le manuel d’utilisation?

Tout d'abord, il contient la réponse sur la structure, les possibilités du dispositif GE E4H Series, l'utilisation de divers accessoires et une gamme d'informations pour profiter pleinement de toutes les fonctionnalités et commodités.

Après un achat réussi de l’équipement/dispositif, prenez un moment pour vous familiariser avec toutes les parties du manuel d'utilisation GE E4H Series. À l'heure actuelle, ils sont soigneusement préparés et traduits pour qu'ils soient non seulement compréhensibles pour les utilisateurs, mais pour qu’ils remplissent leur fonction de base de l'information et d’aide.

    Some operating definitions are provided to help you further understand your machine: Permeate Rate [Product W ater Rate (Q p )] is the flow rate of purified water which has passed through the membrane element and out of the membrane element housing; expressed in gal/min (gpm) or gal/hr (gph) [in metric, liter/min (Lpm) or cubic meters/hour (m 3 /h)[...]

    Flow Description - The feed water passes through a replaceable 5-micron cartridge pre-filter which removes bulk suspended solids. Filtered water then flows to the inlet con- trol valve. This solenoid-controlled diaphragm valve is wired to the ON/OFF switch and opens when the machine is turned ON, allowing water to flow to the pump inlet. When the m[...]

    STEPS 1. Re-check the function and integrity of your pretreatment equipment. Ensure that your water softener , activated carbon filters and iron filters (where applicable) have been leak-checked, backwashed, and thoroughly rinsed for service before starting up your RO unit. 2. Attach the feed water pipe to the inlet of the machine. 3. Check for lea[...]

    inlet stream to the RO pump. It is important to balance the operating pres- sure and the respective flows of these valves to ensure that your machine is operating correctly . It is also important to understand the relationship of these two valves, the pressure gauge, and your RO pump. The pump has a fixed amount of flow produced, and the valves are[...]

    NOTE: Do not allow the pressure to exceed 250 psi (17.2 bar). If the pressure exceeds 250 psi (17.2 bar), open the concentrate flow control valve until the pressure gauge shows 250 psi (17.2 bar) or less. As the machine purges the air and fills with water , the pressure will grad- ually increase. Y ou should see water flowing through the permeate a[...]

    Once the desired flow rate is achieved [250 psi (17.2 bar) operating pres- sure] no further valve adjustment is needed. The table below shows flow rates at 50%, 66% and 75% recovery for the E4H models. Use this table in adjusting flow rates. NOTE : Permeate flow rates are dependent upon temperature and con- ditions at your site. Contact your dealer[...]

A Daily Log Sheet (Section 10.0) which includes general operating con- ditions (pressures, flows, concentrations, pH, and pretreatment condi- tions), and routine or special maintenance (flushing or cleaning as need- ed) must be kept. This Daily Log Sheet will be required by GE Osmonics if a warranty question arises. 17[...]

    4.3 Flushing The machine should be flushed at least daily to remove sediment from membrane element surfaces. T o flush the unit: STEPS 1. Open the concentrate valve until the pressure gauge indicates the minimum pres- sure designated on the nameplate. This increases the flushing action on the mem- brane element. NOTE: If pressure will not decrease [...]

After this valve has been opened, close the permeate service valve. Permeate water will flow into the CIP tank. Allow the water to run through the CIP tank and the CIP tank drain valve for a few minutes to ensure [...]

    4. T urn the CIP ON/OFF switch to the ON position and recirculate the cleaning solu- tion through the machine. The cleaning solution should be recycled for approxi- mately 15 minutes or until the solution temperature reaches 85°F (29°C). If heat rise occurs too quickly , larger volumes of cleaning solution or the use of a heat exchanger will slow[...]

    3. Remove the tubing connections on the inlets and outlets of the membrane element housings. 4. Open the concentrate valve. 5. Remove the drain plugs from all PVC manifolds. 6. Be sure the flow meters are drained by disconnecting the bottom fitting of each flow meter . 7. Allow the machine to drain for a minimum of eight hours or until the opened p[...]

    7. Inspect the membrane element housing and clean as necessary to remove any con- taminants, obstructions, etc. 8. Apply a small amount of O-ring lubricant to all O-rings on the end caps, and the brine seal on the membrane element. 9. Insert the downstream end of the membrane element in the upstream end of the membrane element housing (i.e., load i[...]
