7. Put the parts back in their place carefully.
8. Reconnect the transformer connector to the timer (fig. 9, A)
and let the resin rinse cycle end (around 5 minutes).
9.2 RESIN PRESERVATION AND ACTIVATION AFTER
A LONG PERIOD OF INACTIVITY
If the water softener is not to be used for more than 30 days,
it is necessary to do a double regeneration first.
We suggest avoiding a period of inactivity longer than 12
months. It is forbidden to reactivate the system after this pe-
riod of inactivity.
If the period of inactivity is shorter than 12 months, it is ne-
cessary to perform a resin rinse (see paragraph 7.3) and a
manual regeneration (see paragraph 7.1) before reactivating
the equipment.
9.3 DISCONNECTING THE EQUIPMENT
1. Close the inlet and outlet water taps (fig. 3, B, D)
2 Disconnect the transformer connector from the timer (fig. 9,
A).
3. Insert the transformer connector in the timer (fig. 9, A) whi-
le pressing on the
+
key until the writing "RESINS RINSE"
appears on the display.
4. Wait 30 seconds then disconnect the transformer connec-
tor from the timer (fig. 9, A)
5. To disconnect the inlet, outlet and drain pipe, press on the
black ring that surrounds the pipe next to the insertion, and
extract the pipe. (fig. 4)
6. Use the double joint to insert the taps (fig. 11)
This way, you will be able to bypass the water softener and
supply the machine of your choice with unsoftened water.
7. Open the inlet and outlet taps.
9.4 CHANGING THE RESINS
The resins' softening capacity ends after 5-7 years. This pe-
riod can change based on the characteristic of the feed water
and the quantity of softened water.
After this period of time, the user needs to decide if it is enou-
gh to change the resins or if it is better to change the water
softener itself.
To change the resins it is necessary to disconnect the water
softener as described in the previous paragraph.
Bring the tank to an appropriate place to change the resins
and clean the interior of the tank.
Unscrew the valve from the tank, being careful not to lose the
o-ring of the valve.
Do not throw the resins in the sewers. The resins are not bio-
degradable and must be considered a non-hazardous waste
(code CER 190905).
After changing the resins, check and clean the valve seal from
any resin residue. Change the o-ring if necessary.
Insert the o-ring back in its place and tighten the valve to the
tank.
Re-connect the water softener and rinse the resins (see pa-
ragraph 7.3)
Check that there are no leaks.
10) MAINTENANCE FOR THE USER
Maintenance for the user only consists in refilling the brine
periodically with sodium chloride (NaCl, common salt) (fig. 8).
If salt is lacking, the water softener will not be able to soften
the water.
ATTENTION! Use refined salt for cooking, even in tablets,
suitable for water softeners.
Keep the brine tank cap closed, to avoid that dust or other
substances may fall inside and compromise the equipment
Instruction manual AL series
and the water.
The user is responsible for refilling the brine tank with
salt, so we suggest checking the salt levels in the con-
tainer periodically.
Use a container to insert salt, to avoid propping the salt
package on the brine tank..
11) IMPROPER USE OF THE EQUIPMENT
This equipment has been created to soften drinking water for
domestic and technological use. The equipment must not be
used for any other purpose and it must not be modified or
tampered with in any way.
Any other use than the one specified in this manual is impro-
per and therefore dangerous.
The manufacturer cannot be considered responsible for any
damage caused by improper, mistaken or illogical use of the
equipment.
• It is forbidden to feed the equipment with any liquid other
than drinking water.
• It is forbidden to put any products other than cooking salt
(NaCl) and water in the salt container.
12) EQUIPMENT DISPOSAL
Any waste must be disposed of according to the applicable
norms.
The water softener was built with non-hazardous materials
like polymers and stainless steel, and they must be disposed
of according to the applicable norms.
Do not throw the resins in the sewer.
The resins are not biodegradable. They are classified as
non-hazardous waste, and must be disposed of accordingly
(code CER 190905).
13) ALARMS ON THE DISPLAY
• ERROR 1
The valve can't find the correct position.
When this signals appears, check whether the camshaft rota-
tes or if it is stationary.
1.
If the cam shaft rotates:
1.1 Check whether the magnetic reader is in the correct
position or if it is broken (fig. 7, G);
1.2 Check whether the cable or the connector connecting the
timer to the magnetic reader are connected correctly or if
they are damaged (fig. 7, H, I);
1.3 Make sure the camshaft is assembled correctly and is
not inclined;
1.4 Check whether the magnets are all inserted in the cam
shaft (fig. 7, E);
2.
If the cam shaft does not rotate:
2.1 Check if the cable connecting the motor and the timer is
disconnected or assembled incorrectly (fig. 7, A, B, D).
2.2 Make sure the motor is not out of order or hindered in its
movements (fig. 7, D).
• ERROR 2
This signal indicates that the timer couldn't read all the data
in the program.
To refresh the data, disconnect the power connector from the
timer (fig. 9, A) and re-connect it.
If the display does not show the error anymore, program the
timer again with the necessary parameters (see chapter 5,
"SETTING THE TIMER").
If the error persists, disconnect the power connector from
the timer (fig. 9, A) and reset the day and time following the
instructions in paragraph 4.2.
