EMULATOR MODULE
MODEL # MOD-EMU-BWS
The Emulator module comes with a male
IEP connecon (Innite Expandability
Port). Prior to start-up, rst ensure all the
toggle switches for the “Module Alarms”
and “Lamp Alarm” are in the OFF (toggle
up) posion. Plug the Emulator connector
into the IEP on the BLAKE/HO controller,
then plug in the controller power cord.
To Emulate a parcular module failure,
toggle the corresponding switch to the
ON (toggle down) posion. The alarm can
be cleared by returning the switch to its
OFF (toggle up) posion. The device also
can emulate the UV intensity reported by
a UV sensor module. Turning the right “UV” knob in the clockwise direcon will increase the
intensity, while turning it counterclockwise will decrease the intensity. Please note that to see
all the capabilies of the sensor, you will need to cycle the intensity through the range of 49
through 66 %. The “Days Remaining” cycle can also be adjusted by turning the le “Days” knob.

SOLENOID MODULE
MODEL # MOD-SOL1-BWS
The Solenoid Module is designed to connect a
NORMALLY CLOSED line voltage solenoid valve to the
controller. It is possible to us a 12V or 24V normally
closed solenoid by replacing the AC power cord.
Note that the maximum contact rang is 240VAC
(50-60Hz) / 30VDC / 2A.
LOCATION
Step 1) Find a suitable locaon on the wall for the
solenoid module. The module must be installed close
enough to the controller, or the UV sensor to be able
to plug in the male IEP connector. The module must
also be installed close enough to the actual solenoid
valve and this distance will be dependent on the cord
length of the parcular solenoid valve that is used.
Step 2) Pick a locaon for the solenoid valve and install as per the manufacturer’s direcons.
The solenoid module requires bare leads, so if the solenoid cable has a plug aached, remove
the plug and strip the wires to a suitable length.
INSTALLATION
Step 1) Make sure the solenoid valve cable is NOT plugged into the electrical outlet. Insert
the solenoid valve cable through the center hole of the middle strain relief. Connect the three
electrical wires to the terminal block that is marked “SOLENOID” (see Fig. 1). Connect the
ground wire in the posion marked “GND”, the line voltage wire in the posion marked “L1”
and the neutral wire in the posion marked “N”. Typical wire colour conguraons are marked
directly on the circuit board to the le of the SOLENOID terminal block to aid in this process
(see Fig.2) If you are unsure of the correct wiring conguraon for you parcular solenoid
valve, please contact an approved electrical contractor. Once all the line voltage connecons
have been made, ghten the strain relief nut to secure the cable to the solenoid module.

Step 2) Plug the solenoid valve into the applicable electrical
outlet. At this stage, the funconality of the solenoid valve
can be tested by pressing the solenoid test buon located on
the upper le of the circuit board. Manually depressing (and
holding) this buon will complete the electrical circuit and will
open the normally closed solenoid valve. You should be able to
hear the acvaon of the solenoid valve at this stage to ensure
the valve is funconing properly (see Fig. 3).
Step 3) Make sure your UV controller is unplugged from the
power source. Once all these connecons have been made,
ax the male IEP plug of the solenoid module cable into the
IEP port on the controller, or any other available IEP port such
as the UV sensor, 4-20 mA module or remote alarm module. It
does not maer which IEP port any module is aached to, as
long as they are aached.

Solenoid Test Buon
OPERATION
Step 1) Plug the controller into the power source and make sure the solenoid module is
acvated on the controller. During the start-up sequence, the SOLENOID MODULE screen will
indicate a “inialized” when the module is acvated properly (see Fig. 4).

Step 2) The controller will only nofy you when there is a failure
mode whereby the solenoid module (and connected solenoid valve)
will be acvated. On the BWS5 system, the solenoid module will be
acvated (shung o the ow of water) upon LAMP FAILURE (see
Fig. 5). To remedy this, replace the UV lamp and restart the system as
per the direcons outlined in the Owner’s Manual.
Step 3) On the BWS6 system where a UV sensor is installed, the solenoid
module will be acvated (shung o the ow of water) upon a LOW
UV condion (less than 50%) (see Fig. 6). To remedy this, you will need
to address the reason for this low UV condion which may be due to a
dirty UV sensor and quartz sleeve, a lamp that is not eming enough
UV energy, or a change in the water quality. Please refer to the UV
systems Owner’s Manual for correcve acon procedures.
Figure 5
LAMP FAILURE Screen
Step 4) To determine what posion the solenoid valve is currently in, the solenoid module
incorporates three lights on the circuit board (see Fig. 7). When the solenoid is in the OPEN
posion a green light will appear on the circuit board beside the word “OPEN”. When the valve
is CLOSED, a red light will appear on the circuit board beside the word “CLOSED”. And when the
solenoid is in an OVERRIDE posion, an amber light will appear on the circuit board beside the
word “OVERRIDE ON”.

Boil Water Advisory: If any failure occurs on a BLAKE UV system, the water
must not be used for human consumpon unl the system is returned to a safe operaonal
mode. If the water is used for human consumpon during this period, the water must be
boiled (minimum 20 minutes at a full boil) prior to consumpon.
EMERGENCY BYPASS
In a case where the solenoid valve has been acvated (valve is closed and no water is allowed
to ow), the solenoid module has the ability to bypass the solenoid valve in case of an
emergency need of water. To iniate this bypass, depress the buon labeled “OVERRIDE”
located in the lower le poron of the circuit board (see Fig. 8)

Figure 8
Solenoid Bypass
Buon
Once this buon has been pressed, the system will remain in this
override mode regardless of whether or not the condion causing the
solenoid acvaon has been remedied or not. To reset the system,
the power to the controller must be shut o and restarted. While
in this override mode the controller will intermiently display a red
“SOLENOID OVERRIDE” screen (see Fig. 9).

DISABLING EMERGENCY BYPASS
In certain regulated applicaons, the availability , and use,
of the emergency bypass feature may be in violaon of the
local, state/provincial codes. If this is the case, the bypass
feature can easily be disabled by physically removing the
bypass buon. To accomplish this, carefully use a pair of
needle nose pliers and physically remove the actual bypass
buon (marked “OVERRIDE”) from the circuit board .

OTHER FAILURE MODES
In the event there is an issue with the solenoid connecon from
the IEP cable to the controller, the system will register a “SOLENOID
FAILURE” screen on the controller (see Fig. 10).
CAUTION: BEFORE PERFORMING ANY
WORK ON THE SOLENOID MODULE, THE
POWER CORD MUST BE DISCONNECTED
FROM ITS POWER SOURCE (WALL PLUG).
