1 - DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY The products of series Timer S F E Comply with the following Directives: 2006/42/EC: Machinery Directive 2006/95/EC: Low Voltage Directive 2004/108/EC: Electromagnetic Compatibility Meet the following technical standards: EN 61010-1: Safety provisions for electrical measurement, control and laboratory equipment - Part 1: general provisions.
2 - GENERAL INSTRUCTION Read this user and maintenance manual carefully before using the device. The controller must be installed by qualified personnel; the installation procedures must be carried out with equipment switched off. Package and storage The equipment is packaged in a formed polystyrene frame and contained in a cardboard box. No special procedures are required for unpacking.
3 - GENERAL FEATURES The SFE controller allows the management of softening and filtering systems. The controller is based on two electronic boards for TC & metered versions SFE is available with 2 different electronic boards: standard 7930-23 or chlorine cell control 7930-24.

4 - OPERATION 4.1 Control panel description Buttons description Description It is used to edit the displayed value during a programming step. Press it together with the arrow up Down arrow key for 5 seconds to open the advanced settings menu. Press and release to access the basic settings menu.
4.2 Display 1. Service status icon; 2. Weekdays icon; 3. Time display mode icon; 4. Programming parameters/regeneration status/time digit; 5. Power supply status icon (if it is enabled it indicates a lack of mains supply and storage of the programming data to the memory); 6.
4.2.2 Display during regeneration When the module is in regeneration, the display shows the following information: • During the transition phases nC-|, where n is the number of the regeneration cycle phase, a turning bar is display to mean that a transition is occurring from a regeneration phase to the next one. Transition to phase 1 • During the stopping phases nCxx|, where n is the number of the regeneration cycle phase and xx are the residual minutes before switching to the next phase.
Battery-operated status 4.3 General information before programming The SFE controller allows to manage your installation by a time clock control or by a volumetric control. The controller will automatically initiate regenerations cycles based upon the programmed regeneration mode and the programmed parameters.
When Delayed manual regeneration is chosen current day of the week and service icon are going to blink until regeneration starts Day of the week and service icon blink to confirm Delayed Manual Regeneration 4.5 Microswitch search When powering the module may sometimes display F1-| or F2-| where the number indicates if we are carrying out the first or the second microswitch search attempt, a turning bar is also shown to indicate that the motor is on.
The treated volume is displayed on a running string so as to allow reading a number greater than 9999. Press to switch parameters . The date and time information for the last regenerations carried out are only available if regenerations have been carried out.
4.9 Power failure The following conditions may occur in the event of a power failure: The power failure occurs during the standby phase, during a parameter reset phase, during the statistics analysis phase. In all these cases, the module returns to stand by and displays the clock with the battery on icon, meaning a power failure.
5 - PROGRAMMING 5.1 Basic programming The most common operating parameters are set in the basic menu. To access the basic menu, press and release the button. The basic menu contains the following parameters: DATA DESCRIPTION DEFAULT MIN - MAX 12H –...
5.2 Advanced programming The module operating parameters are set in the advanced menu. Press at the same time for 5 seconds to open this menu. DATA DESCRIPTION DEFAULT MIN - MAX Regeneration start mode: 0 - Regeneration start at the time set during the enabled days. 1 - Regeneration start at the time set after the volume treatment in the enabled days.

Note 1: calculation of number of regenerations before a salt alarm is generated. The following formula is used to calculate the number of regenerations before a salt alarm is generated: SA = (M.xxx) * 1000 SA = (M.xxx) * 1000 (L.xxx) x (G.xxx) where: M.xxx: amount (in kg) of salt found in the brine tank;...
Microswitch alarm. The module cannot find the service position. No regenerations are carried out during the microswitch alarm. RESET HARDWARE The SFE controller is fitted with a hardware reset button located on the board itself close to the display and not directly reachable by the user. Hardware reset button Button to reset the SFE board After a hardware reset, the time on the display flashes until any button is pressed.
7 - INSTALLATION The SFE controller may be installed on the following of SIATA valves: V132, V230, V250 (with the accessory 5191-P). NOTE: a whole series of accessories is available for installation on the following valves: V240, V260, V360. 7.1 Installation with V132/V230 Valves...
