PROBLEM: ALL 11 GALLONS OF DISTILLATE GO INTO THE PROCESSED WATER DRUM.

Possible Cause 1 & 2: Loose wire on TAS3 or TAS3 is defective or

Stuck/faulty Divert Solenoid Valve.

Disconnect electrical power to the BE unit before performing tests

on the Temperature Actuated Switches.

Check the wire connections on TAS3. This is a “normally open” switch threaded into the front of the

Process Tank behind the access panel in the insulation (it may be slightly hidden under the insulation near the

top of the opening). This switch closes if the Process Tank reaches 280F. This is supposed to activate the

Divert Solenoid Valve to begin processing the glycol.

 For units H94 or older, TAS3 will be a 1/2” diameter silver and black sensor and have two wires (#13 and

#14) attached to it. Verify that the solder connections are holding, and that neither of the wires are

touching the metal part of TAS3. Re-solder any loose connections with a high-temp solder. A loose wire

could prevent the activation of the Divert Solenoid Valve.

1. Follow wires #13 and #14 out--each will lead to a wad of tape. Remove the tape (it will probably be

hardened, use a razor knife to remove if needed) to expose the nut and bolt connecting each set of

wires. Place a jumper wire between the two sets of wires. Verify that no wires are touching any

metal parts (or anyone).

2. Restore power to the unit. After 6 seconds, you should here a click. Then turn on the machine (with

the TAS3 jumper installed).

3. Watch the Vacuum Gage. If the unit begins to show a vacuum, see how high it goes. It should reach

-24 to -28 in. If it does, replace TAS3. If no vacuum forms, the Divert Solenoid Valve is stuck in the

water position. Refer to the “Service Procedures: Divert Valve Repair or Replacement” section of

this manual for further instruction.

 For units I94 or newer units, TAS3 is a 1/2” diameter white ceramic sensor with a brass hex base, push-on

connectors, and “F280” written on it. Verify that the push-on connectors are crimped securely.

1. Remove wires #13 and #14 from TAS3 and connect a jumper wire between them. Verify that no
