Programming the control

 At the start the control must be set to the correct system configuration.

When inserting the control, the following screens may be displayed:

Fig. 1 Example:

 If 255A is flashing, the correct system configuration can be selected directly with the  arrow key.

 For E080 / 150 sand filters, 278 must be selected, for the 278L triplex and for the large valves, 298A must be selected.

 When the correct configuration is flashing, confirm with Set . Display Down  Save Set  Up  manual regeneration Reg. Fig. 1

Fig. 2

 The control has already filed a configuration and is in progress of aligning the main head (Error3) or the secondary head (Error4).  The system configuration must be entered again with a Reset (see

level4). Fig. 3

The display shows only dashes. In this case, there is also a stored configuration, and the control prompts you to enter the current time and day. This setting is lost in case of a prolonged power loss.

 Here it is also recommended to enter the system configuration again with a Reset (see level 4).

 Level 1

Level 1 can only be accessed with a new control after turning power on or with a Reset (see level 4) for entering basic data.

Settings for the following filter valves: 278 A E080(B) / E150(B)

 Level 2

Level 2 is also used to define basic parameters.

 This level is accessed by simultaneously pressing the Up and Down key + for 5 seconds.

This can only be done from the normal operation display. (Therefore if Error3 or Error4 is displayed and the system configuration has not yet been defined or verified, immediately go to level 4 and make a reset.)  For browsing use the arrow keys  or , use Set  to clear the

value for modification.

 The value is changed with the arrow keys and set with Set . LEVEL 1

LEVEL 1

P9 Must be set to 1 for the selection of metric units.

P10 Selection of the time display, must be set to 1 for 0–24hrs. P11 Maintenance interval in months – recommended 0

P12 Time delay in seconds for remote regeneration – default 60 P13 Not used with twin systems - default 0 (optional salt sensor) P14 Brine flow - refill capacity (Brine Refill) in gpm*100 (gpm =

L/min; 3.785 L/g)

 Level 3 - operating phase times

Level 3 is used to display or define the times of the operating phases.  This level is accessed by simultaneously pressing the Set and Down

 +  keys for 5 seconds.

This can only be done from the normal operation display, not during a regeneration.

 Level 4 – history

Level 4 is used to see the history.

 (Possibility in H0 for a reset with the Set key  for 5 seconds).  This level is accessed by simultaneously pressing the Set and Up

keys  + for 5 seconds. (This can even be done during a regeneration).

P16 Select 3, reserve type for E225-T

P17 Not used with alternating operation - for E225-T, reserve capacity expressed in % in relation to hardness (- see above) P18 Selection of the flow sensor for E080(B) / E150(B) /225T = 1

but for E300/E400

P19 Must be set to 1 if a valve sensor is integrated (if P18 = 3, then K-factor)

 Starting a regeneration

 When pressing the Reg. key, the Reg. symbol will be flashing. This indicates that a delayed regeneration is due which would start at the programmed time P3.

 If Reg. is briefly pressed a second time, a factor x2 will be displayed after the flashing Reg. symbol, indicating that both tanks will be regenerated at the set Reg time.

 If the Reg. key is pressed for 5 seconds, the Reg. symbol will be displayed permanently and a regeneration will be started immediately.

 If the Reg. key is again pressed for 5 seconds immediately thereafter, a factor x2 will be displayed after the Reg. symbol, indicating that both tanks will immediately be regenerated one after the other.

 Pressing the Set and Up keys  +  briefly and simultaneously, will quickly skip a phase. This will set the remaining phase time, which is displayed by briefly pressing the Set key , to 0.

 A regeneration which has started can be skipped by pressing the Set and Up keys  + for 5 seconds .

Important start-up information

Softeners E080(B),/ E150(B), E225-T, E300, E400

 The site of installation must be protected from frost and must be level, the floor load must be sufficient for the weight of the full softener. A floor drain is also required.

 The softener must not be exposed to direct sunlight.

 A 50 µm particle filter and a pressure gauge for pressure monitoring must be installed upstream of the softener.

 The maximum pressure must not be exceeded; if necessary, a pressure reducer must be installed.

 The installation must be done in compliance with the local regulations.

 The overflow of the brine tank must be directed to the drain and must also be a free flow design.

 Apply only small amounts of silicone-based FDA-approved lubricant to seals and valves.

 Tighten plastic screw-connections only by hand.

 The drain must be designed as a free flow to prevent back- contamination.

 To refill the brine tank use only regeneration salt tablets intended for softening of drinking water.

 When refilling salt, the salt level must always be higher than the brine level!

 The design of the softener must ensure that the operating time of one tank is at least the regeneration time and the time required for the brine to develop (approx. 3 – 4 hours), and that regeneration takes place at least once a day. Make absolutely sure to avoid prolonged standby times, if necessary regeneration of both tanks must be started manually or electrically.

Filling on site:

 If the softeners are to be filled on site, use the immersion pipe to fill the tanks completely with water after they have been filled with the filter material and before mounting the control heads.
