Safety instructions
Intended application
This device has been developed for the filtration of the water used to edge ophthalmic lenses. Do not use it
for any other reason.
General Safety
Before putting the device into operation please read the safety instructions and the operation manual
carefully. That way all functions can be used safely and reliably.
Keep this operation manual.
In the case of handing over this device to someone else, this manual has to be passed on as well.
Packaging materials are in no way toys. Prevent children from playing with the bags that are made out of
plastics. There is risk of suffocation.
Keep children away from the materials included in the active carbon cartrige and the Zinc Ricinoleate
bottle. In case of inadvertent contact, wash skin and eyes with water.
Do not try to open or repair the device yourself. Repairs should only be carried out by trained personnel.
Installation Conditions
The device must be placed on a solid and stable subsurface.
Do not run the device in a surrounding where water or liquid might enter. In case of ingress of water there
is a risk of electric shock.
Make sure that all cables and tubes are arranged in a way that no one might stumble.
The air in- and outlet of the anti-smell device must be kept entirely free.
In case of interferences
Pull the plug immediately if cable or device is damaged.
Do not induct any objects into the device. Conductor rails might be touched.
If liquids or foreign substances get into the device, pull the plug immediately. The device should then be
checked before it is put into operation again.
If a proper function is not possible even if the function is according to all articles of the operation manual,
the device has to be disconnected.
Besides these advices in the operation manual all local rules for accident prevention have to be
considered and followed.

Operating Principle
It is imperative that one of the 2 tanks is always empty of water so that the system
works by a principle of communicating vessels!
Although the cycle varies from 10 minutes to 3 ~ 4 hours, the total powered time is about 10 minutes, which
represents an average energy consumption of 0.11 .
Start the cycle every day to prevent the accumulation of residues which will eventually
block the pumps

8. Position the cover of the tank with the filtering bag. Check that the
bag is well open and "sticks" to the walls.
9. Insert the edger pump(s) into the back tank and position the back
cover.
10. Position the edging water receiver above the filtering bag.

15. Switch on the power switch on the front side of the filtration system
Neptune (diodes of the control box will flash and initialize).
16. Fill the tank of the working tank (rear tank) with 25 litres of water. The
green diode of the series of three diodes (MIN, OK, MAX) located on
the box should be lit. If there is not enough water, the lower red light
(MIN) is on, add water. If you put too much water, the upper red light
(MAX) lights up.
It is imperative to pull water out from the tank to return to the OK position
17. Set up the return drain (100mm diameter) between the edger and Neptune
18. Neptune is ready to be used

Description
Control Unit
Use
Operation
The master switch is located on the lower front side of the machine.
When pressed, all LED from the control panel will lit for initialisation. When
finished, only the DAY LED and the Water Level Indicator will remain lighted.
Independantly from the selected mode, i.e. DAY or NIGHT, the T1 LED indicator
indicate the water level in the working tank
There are 3 positions:
1. Red upper LED: Too much water in the tank
2. Green middle LED: Water level is OK
3. Red lower LED: Not enough water in the tank
In the evening
Move the handle to the left position - Night.
Press the MODE switch every evening when closing the lab.
The NIGHT mode green LED lights.
Press the RUN mode switch until the corresponding red LED
lights up. It confirms the starting of the filtering cycle (the pump
should start at this same moment).
The cycle will last from 1 hour to several hours depending of
the quantity of waste in the filter, hence the reason for starting
the cycle at the end of each the working day.
In the morning

User Manual - Neptune Mini Filtering System
The cycle counter indicates the number of cycles that took place in 60 minutes with a maximum of 10 cycles..
When the filtering cycle is finished, a number from 0 to 9 or a letter P or G will be shown:
o The counter indicates 3 or below, it is time to change the filtering bag.
o The counter indicates P, it is an error message. The return pump in the filtering tank has been working
continuously for 8 hours. See maintenance section.
o The counter indicates G, it is an error message. The main pump in the working tank has been working
continuously for 15 minutes. See maintenance section.
o The counter indicates no number or letter: the cycle has been stopped willing or unwillingly (power
supply failure, etc...).
o The T2 LED indicates water in the filtering tank. During the filtering cycle it will turn on and off. This is
normal; it indicates that the water is filtered. This LED should never stay lit during the DAY use. If it is lit, it
indicates that water remains in the filtering tank.
This situation is abnormal:
1. Too much water in the tanks: as the tanks communicate trough a communicating hole in
their top, the filtering tank can never be emptied.
2. Edging residues have penetrated the filtering tank through the communication hole and
have potentially blocked the small pump located at the bottom of the filtering tank.
In both cases, remove the excess water, remove the filter assembly, clean the filtering tank and check the
return pump operation (TEST mode):
1. Press MODE switch to NIGHT
2. Press RUN and wait for the cycle start.
3. Press STOP
4. Press STOP again and maintain pressed. The return pump should start. If not, open it,
check the impeller, clean it and re-assemble.

The night cycle started normally and this morning the red light (RUN) is on and the counter shows the
letter "P".
The return pump from the filtering tank worked continuously for 8 hours.
The water level is set to OK
Turn off power on the front side of the tank, wait several seconds and turn on again the tank. Monitor
the LED test on the control unit (they light up one after the other).
After this test, the control box must be in DAY mode, T2 LED off and water level OK. The cycle counter
will indicate a point, no number (no cycle has been achieved since power on).
If this is the case, the control software bugged during the cycle.
T2 LED is on and the water level is on MIN
o Check the filter tank pump as previously said
o Check the hydraulic connection between the pump and working tank
o Ensure free movement of the water sensor in the filtering tank
The night cycle started normally and this morning the red light is on and the counter shows the letter
"G".
The working tank pump worked continuously for 15 minutes.
Check that the floating sensorN3 is not affected in its movement by edging residues.
The impeller from the main pump is blocked.
Disassemble the body of the pump and remove the blocking material. Check the exhaust tube and
clean it with a stiff wire or a knitting needle.
The green T2 LED and the MAX LED are turned on although the filter cycle is finished
There is too much water in the entire system. Remove water from the working tank before restarting the cycle
at the end of the day. If necessary complete with water in the morning.
Beware; the filtering tank has probably been polluted by contaminated water from the working tank.
As soon as possible, while the filtering tank is empty after a filtration cycle (T2 LED off), remove the filtering
bag and clean the tank.
