The ADI-X Controller Components

ADI-X Controller Installation

The ADI-X controller can be supplied as part of a filtration system or as a standalone device. The controller is installed on a bracket and can be easily removed by pushing it up. If the controller is supplied as a part of a filtration system, the controller is already installed and connected

To disassemble the installed controller :

1. Disconnect all cables and pipes (See ADI-X Terminal Blocks Connections and ADI-X DP Sensor Connections).
2. Push the controller up to remove it from the bracket

ADI-X Terminal Blocks Connections

1. RJ-45 COM: Used to connect PLC or other control device.
2. Extension A and B: Used for connection between primary and secondary controllers (see 5.8).
3. Digital inputs: Used to connect external water meters.
4. External DP: Used to connect external differential pressure switch.
5. Pause: Used to connect an external device to trigger pause.
6. Analog inputs: Used to connect analog signals 4-20 mA, 0-10 V (power to input is controlled) from sensors of the following types: pressure, temperature, conductivity, turbidity, and humidity.
7. DS valve: Output for downstream valve through solenoid latch.
8. V1-V12 outputs: For filter flush through solenoid latch.
9. Alarm output: Used to switch external devices via NO/NC relay.
10. End of the cycle (EOC): Used to send EOC signal via NO/NC relay.
11. External power supply connection: The power supply for the controller must supply 7-14 VDC, 2A.

ADI-X DP Sensor Connections

The ADI-X controller can work with an internal or external DP sensor, depending on configuration.

The controller’s default configuration is the internal DP sensor. Water pipes should be connected to the DP inlet and outlet (See Figure 1: ADI-X controller components).

Batteries Installation/Replacement

The ADI-X controller is supplied with 4 x 1.5V type D batteries supplied loose.

The estimated battery lifetime is one year or about 80K flushes (Whichever comes first).

To install /replace the batteries:

1. Remove the top cover by loosening the four screws.
2. Remove the two screws that secure the battery cover. This will allow access to the battery assembly.
3. Remove the battery assembly from the device and replace 4 x 1.5V type D batteries.
4. Reinstall the battery assembly.
5. Close the battery cover and tighten the screws.
6. Reassemble the top cover and tighten the screws.

The ADI-X controller can be controlled by the application as follows:

1. ADI-X Desktop Application connects to the controller via the cloud. It allows you to operate your controller by remote access. To access the ADI-X Desktop application go to the adix.amiad.com website.
2. ADI-X Mobile Application connects to the controller via the cloud. It allows you to operate your controller by remote access.
3. ADI-BLE Mobile Application connects to the controller via Bluetooth wireless technology. The mobile device should be within a range of 10-15 meters from the controller. This application does not require or support cloud services.

The free ADI-X and ADI-BLE mobile applications by Amiad Water Systems are available for download on Google Play ( version 5 and up ) or the App Store ( iOS version 9 and up).
