Symptom / Description

FAULT

The device reports a generic problem with the demineralized water (AD) inlet.

TELEMETRY // LIVESIG: FAULT_DETECTED

Root Cause

ROOT CAUSE

A global failure affects the demineralized water supply system, without distinction between the hot or cold circuit. The problem could be pressure, a blocked valve, or a clogged filter.

CIRCUIT // SUBSYSTEMLOGIC: ROOT_ISOLATED

Repair Instructions

UNLOCKED
1Inspect the entire demineralized water circuit. Fully open the supply valves. Clean all filters on the line. Check the working condition of the demineralization unit itself.

1. Pre-Intervention Electrical Safety Protocols
  • !Electrical Safety Protocol: Disconnect electrical power before touching solenoid valve coils or Aquastop connectors.
  • !Firmly shut off the domc water supply tap before unscrewing the inlet hose fitting.
  • !Check safety base drip tray for accumulated water triggering the anti-flood polystyrene float switch.
3. Preliminary Mechanical & Visual Checks
  • Remove and clean sediment and sand particles from the 3/4" inlet hose metal mesh filter.
  • Verify domestic dynamic water pressure is between 1.0 and 10.0 bar (0.1 to 1.0 MPa).
  • Inspect outer Aquastop hose jacket for expansion, pinch damage, or internal leak reservoir triggering.
