USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL 2. INSTALLATION AND START-UP 2.1. INSTALLATION The machine must be installed in a dry, suitably hygienic and well-ventilated area where adequate precautions have been taken to protect it from sub-zero temperatures and/or heated components and direct sunlight. Consider an area protected from routine processing or cleaning operations in order to protect the system from being accidentally sprayed with water.
USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL 2.1.1. INSTALLATION – SALT STORAGE SKID Position the skid taking the requirements given below into account: • Easily accessible and salt refill position; • Flat and stable position; • Maximum distance from softeners equal to 2 metres positioned on the same support surface as the latter;...
USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL 2.1.2. ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS Connect the general power plug of the ES control panel of skid 1 to a single-phase electrical power outlet. Connect the skid 2 salt deposit from the EO board to the ES board of the skid 1 (see points 3-4 of the connection diagram) GENERAL INFORMATION The machine must be connected to an earthed power outlet.

USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL 1. Close the water supply or insert the by- pass valve/s. 2. Depressurise the system by manually starting extra regeneration disconnecting the timer from the power supply. 3. Remove the four screws and nuts which secure the turbine fitting to the by-pass valve or the pipes.
USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL 2.2.2. STARTING THE SOFTENERS: HOT WATER PART Starting the softener • Slowly open the inlet valve. • Turn knob A to the backwash position (red light on) and let it flow for a few minutes or until the system feeds water without any air to the drain.
USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL 2.2.3. STARTING THE SALT STORAGE SKID Before starting the softeners: -Add untreated water until the extraction filter (A) is covered, about 10 litres; -Remove the floats and fill with salt; -Place the floats vertically at the top and position them horizontally on the salt. CAUTION USE GOOD QUALITY SALT WITH NO EARTH RESIDUE.
USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL 3. MACHINE DESCRIPTION 3.1. COLD WATER OPERATING LOGIC The softeners fitted with a Logix control valve have nine operating cycles. The softening system consists of two control valves, two cylinders containing strong cation resin in sodium cycle, connected to one another to form a continually flowing system which operates with a duplex alternator logic and of two brine vats on a separate brine system skid.
USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL System pause position (repressurization) The system goes into stand-by, pressurising the cylinder. Waiting position The regeneration process is interrupted whilst waiting for the cylinder in service to run out. Quick rinse 1 position The water flows through the resin and rises up via the central pipe, flowing towards the drain. The residual brine is thus eliminated.

USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL with sodium ions. As the water passes through the resin bed, it is conditioned. Backwash - C1 cycle The water flow is reversed by the valve and sent downwards along the rising pipe and upwards through the resin bed.
USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL 3.3. OPERATING LOGIC When the first minimum level for the salt is reached, the float is in a vertical position (fig a) and triggers a light indicator in the control panel. Remove the float completely and after filling and restoring the correct salt level, it must be briefly placed upright before being reinserted (fig b).
USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL 3.4. ROUTINE CHECK PLAN 3.4.1. PREVENTIVE CHECKS A series of visual and operational inspections aimed at checking the correct operation and performance of the skid. The preventive checks allow the components, subject to consumption or wear, to be identified through preventive checks and replaced as indicated in the following paragraphs and in the section entitled Error! Reference source not found..
USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL 3.4.3. UNSCHEDULED MAINTENANCE WORK PART TO BE CHECKED CHECK FREQUENCY Basic calibration Functional test 3 MONTHS Functional test Functional test 3.4.4. RECOMMENDATIONS Use original spare parts To ensure the device works correctly safely, only use the original spare parts and accessories recommended by the manufacturer.

The tap symbol is displayed, indicating that In this condition, the softener cannot generate water is being supplied to the service softened water.
USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL 4.1.4. REGENERATION MODE When in stand-by, the display shows the current time and day of the week. During regeneration, the time indicates the operating phase (C1÷C8) and the regeneration time remaining. Delayed regeneration Press the REGEN button, the programmer will perform a regeneration at the next set regeneration time (at 2:00 by default).
USE AND INSTALLATION MANUAL 4.1.6. TIMER PROGRAMMING Initial switch-on When first switched on, the camshaft must turn to the starting position (in service). It may take 1-2 minutes for the camshaft to position itself in the starting position. Err 3 will be displayed until the camshaft is in the starting position. If more than 2 minutes pass, check that the motor is turning the camshaft.
