The Z-brane is a revolutionary product which incorporates the Z-Guard High Voltage
Capacitive technology into the membrane pressure vessel. Always active, the Z-Brane
creates an environment that is unfriendly to bio-film and bacteria. The Z technoalgy also
assits in the prevention of scale formation on the membrane surfaces. The Z-Brane allows
the system to be shut down or decommissioned for extended periods of time without
chemicals or preservatives. The Z-Brane will not prevent freezing so that in cold climates
Propylene Glycol is still required.
The Z-Brane system is integral with the watermaker unit and only requires continuous
12Vor 24V DC power to be operative. The installation of the Z-Brane only consists of
wiring the power supply to a continuous source The Z-brane power supply can tolerate
voltages between 10V and 28V DC.
Note: There is no reason to open the transformer enclosure. Do not ser-
vice this unit without disconnecting the power source! There may be
high voltage present.
It is recommended that the Z-Brane be connected to a discreet continuous power source.
The power must be on during the time that the system is operation and during the time the
Z-Brane is used for membrane storage. If the power is obtained from the MPC then the
MPC must be powered up at all times during storage. This may not be desirable.
Fuse the power at the source with a 5 amp fuse or circuit breaker.
