Repeating the operations described above, you will be able to
run through all the cycle steps.
If you press and hold down
N
and
h
at the same time for 5
seconds, the valve, whatever its position, will go past all the
steps non-stop, until the service step.
Then the display will show back the time.
11) SETTING AT WORK
After the installation is complete, follow the procedure below:
1. Close the water inlet and outlet taps (fig. 3, B, D), then
plug in the fixture.
2. Wait for the time to appear on the display; the valve will
be on service step then.
3. Press and hold down the button for 5 seconds to
begin a manual regeneration cycle.
4. Wait for the valve to position on step C1.
5. Unplug the fixture.
6. Slowly open the water inlet by half (fig. 3, D) and leave it
in this position for about 5 minutes.
When all the air is out, open the water inlet completely.
Let the water flow abundantly until it is crystal clear;
7. Pour some water in the brine tank and cover the suction
pipe (fig. 1);
8. Plug in the fixture again.
9. Press
N
and
h
at the same time to run through the
following steps of the cycle, until C8.
10. Wait for the valve to complete the cycle (it will only take a
few minutes) and to position on service step.
11. Press and hold down for 5 seconds to begin a manual
regeneration cycle.
Wait for a few seconds, and the valve will position on
phase C1.
12. Press
N
and
h
to pass to step C2, “salt injection”. Wait,
and make sure that water in the brine is aspired through
the transparent cup. Water will have to be aspired com-
pletely.
13. Press
N
and
h
at the same time to pass to step C5.
14. Let the cycle complete (it will take about 10 minutes).
15. Open the inlet and outlet taps completely (fig. 3, B, D) and
close the by pass tap (fig. 3, C).
16. Add salt, up to more than half of the vat.
17. Press and the regeneration symbol will flash on the
display. It’s now possible to program a regeneration at a
fixed time.
12) ADJUSTING THE MIXER SCREW
The water softener supplies water free of hardness. In some
cases, however, a hardness residual in the water can be im-
portant.
The mixer allows a certain amount of water to pass directly
from the inlet to the outlet of the water softener, without being
softened by resins.
Unscrewing the mixer screw (fig.2, A-2 ,B) you can gradually
increase the hardness of the outcoming water.
Please remember that this operation must be carried out very
carefully.
At the end of the adjustment, we advise you to let some water
flow out and to measure its hardness.
13) RESIN DISINFECTION AND SALT ALARM
On request, the water softener can be provided with an optio-
nal device disinfecting the resins during regeneration.
The device consists in a component that will be screwed up to
the valve (fig. 8) and connected through a cable to the timer
connector (fig. 6, L).
When the device is installed, the timer will activate it autono-
mously and, during the aspiration step (C2), “CL” will appear
on the display.
Besides disinfecting the resins, it can also warn the user when
the brine tank has run out of salt. The orange led flashlight
under the display will turn on (fig. 9, F, “check salt”), remem-
bering the user to load salt to the brine tank (fig. 7).
It is possible to activate and disactivate the “salt alarm” fun-
ction following the procedure below:
1) Press and hold down
ih
at the same time, until “P1”
appears in the lower part of the display.
2) Press and hold down
i
until you see the P11 parametre.
3) Press
N
and the P11 value will start to flash.
4) Press
i
and select:
- 0 if you wish to activate the “salt alarm” function.
- 1 if you want to disactivate it.
5) Press
N
ti confirm the set value, P11.
If you want to manually turn off the led flashlight, briefly press
the button twice.
The led will automatically turn off when, during the following
regeneration, the salty water will be aspired again.
14) MAINTENANCE
14.1 FOR THE USER
Maintenance for users only consists in refilling the brine pe-
riodically with sodium chloride (NaCl, common salt), in lack
of which the water softener will not be able to eliminate water
limy hardness.
ATTENTION! Never use substances different from
common salt (NaCl).
14.2 FOR INSTALLERS
For an ideal working, it is advisable to perform the following
operations periodically:
- Clean the brine and remove any sediment from the suction
pipe (fig. 1) every six months;
- Clean the injector (fig. 6, B), its filter (fig. 6, D) and the
brine control (fig. 6,C) at least once a year, following the
instructions reported below:
1. Close the water inlet and outlet taps (fig. 3, B, D)
2. Press and hold down the button for 5 seconds, to
start a manual quick regeneration cycle.
3. Wait for a few seconds, and check that C1 appears on
the display.
4. Wait for 15 seconds, then unplug the fixture.
5. Unscrew and remove the ejector (fig. 6, B), the filter (fig.
6, D) and the brine control (fig. 6, C).
6. Wash the components with water and make sure the
hole in the ejector isn’t blocked (fig. 6, B).
7. Carefully place the parts again in their seats.
8. Slowly open the water inlet and outlet taps (fig. 3, B, D).
9. Plug in the fixture again.
10. Press the buttons
N
and
h
at the same time for 5 se-
conds. The valve will position on service step. The di-
splay will then show back the time.
