The 1/4 in. (5 mm) O.D. tube connecting
the T-Connector to the Pressure Differential
Transducer may become kinked or debris may
block the tube.

Solution

: Replace any hose or tube that is kinked.

Disconnect each end of the tube and blow air
through the tube to ensure that it is not blocked.

The pressure readings at the Touch Pad are
inaccurate. The minimum voltage output is below
.5VDC and or the maximum voltage output is
above 5 VDC.

Solution

: Check wiring and connections to and

from the Transducer. Replace the Transducer.

15) OIL/WATER SEPARATOR

The Oil/Water Separator housing contains a 10 micron
coalescing filter element. This Oil/Water Separator is
positioned after the Prefilter in the Feed Water Line.
Unlike a conventional cartridge filter element, the water
flow is into the center and out ward. The purpose of this
filter is to coalesce and trap oil so that it doesn’t reach
the R.O. membrane element. Oil will permanently foul the
R.O. membrane element.

WARNING! OIL/WATER SEPARATOR
ELEMENT

: Do not use third party Oil/

Water Separator elements, use only
Sea Recovery supplied elements. Third
party elements do not properly fit and
will not adequately coalesce the oil from
the feed water. They also allow by-pass
resulting in premature fouling of the
R.O. Membrane Element and extensive
damage to the High Pressure Pump.
Damage to the Sea Recovery System
caused by the use of third party, non Sea
Recovery, Oil/Water Separator Elements
is the responsibility and liability of the
operator and not covered by the Sea
Recovery Warranty.

CAUTION

! Finger tighten the lid locking

ring onto the base. DO NOT over tighten.
DO NOT use any wrench or device to
tighten the lid locking ring. The lid is
O-ring sealed, two finger tightening is
adequate. Over tightening will stress the
threads on the base and the lid locking
ring causing them to crack.

The pressure differential readings across the
Prefilter indicate that the element is filled with
debris blocking the feed water.

Solution

: Replace the Prefilter Element.

13) T-CONNECTOR PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL

PICK-UP

The T Connector is for line differential pressure pick
up between optional prefiltration components to the
Differential Pressure Transducer #3. This Transducer
allows the operator to determine exactly which
prefiltration component requires servicing.
Problems and Symptoms appearing and caused by the
T-Connector Pressure Pick-Up:
a)

The Pressure Differential Transducer does not
register pressure.

The 1/4 in. (5 mm) O.D. tube connecting the
T-Connector to the Low Pressure Transducer
Manifold may become kinked or debris may
block the tube.

Solution

: Replace any hose or tube that is kinked.

Disconnect each end of the tube and blow air
through the tube to ensure that it is not blocked.

14) PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL TRANSDUCER

The Pressure Differential Transducer for line pressure
reading across (between) prefiltration components
allowing the operator to determine which prefiltration
component requires servicing.
The Pressure Differential Transducer sends a DC voltage
signal to the System Control Logic. The minimum value
is .5 VDC when no pressure is applied to it, and the
maximum value that the System will accept is 4.5 VDC.
The variation of voltage output from the Transducer is
converted to pressure value by the System Control Logic.
Problems and Symptoms appearing and caused by the
Pressure Differential Transducer:
a)

The Pressure Differential Transducer does not
display on the Touch Screen.

Solution

: Refer to Section 6 to Set Up and

Inform the System Control Logic that the
Pressure Differential Transducer has been
installed and connected.

The Pressure Differential Transducer does
not register pressure or the pressure displayed
is inaccurate.
