POWER FAILURE 

 
In  the  event  of  a  power  failure,  the  program  will  remain 
unchanged,  while  the  mechanical  clock  will  stop; 
consequently, in  case  of  a power  failure, the time of  day 
will not be maintained and will need to be set. 
 
When the power failure occurs during the execution of an 
automatic  regeneration,  the  control  valve  will  remain  in 
the  regeneration  position;  when  the  power  supply  is  re-
established, the control valve will resume the  regeneration 
from the point where it was interrupted. 
 
 

SERVICE / REGENERATION MODE 

 
In  service mode  the drain  plunger (G) will be closed. The 
actuator (F) should NOT be visible. 
  
In regeneration mode the drain plunger (G) will be pushed 
down by the actuator (F). The actuator (F) will be visible. 
 
The control valve can be reset to service mode at any time 
by  slowly  turning  the  timer  knob  counter  clockwise  until 
the drain plunger (K) is released again by the actuator (F). 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 

MANUAL REGENERATION 

 
It is possible to manually initiate a regeneration. 
1.

 

Push in the skipper tab (E) that is aligned with the day 
indicator (C). 

2.

 

Turn  the  timer  knob  (K)  counter  clockwise,  until  the 
time of day  in the time of day window (L) equals the 
time  of  regeneration  in  the  time  of  regeneration 
window (B). 

3.

 

The time of day and the skipper tab (E) must be reset, 
when the regeneration is terminated. 

 
 

PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONS 

 
Before  starting  the  programming  sequence,  make  sure 
that the control valve is in the service mode. 
 
1.

 

TIME OF REGENERATION

 

Turn  the  clock  plate  (A)  until  the  desired  time  of 
regeneration  appears  in  the  time  of  regeneration 
window (B). 

 

2.

 

TIME OF DAY

 

Turn the timer knob (K) counter clockwise until the 
correct  time  of  day  on  the  clock  gear  appears  in 
the time of day window (L). 

 

3.

 

REGENERATION FREQUENCY

 

With  all  skipper  tabs  (E)  pulled  out,  rotate  the 
skipper wheel (D) until day “1” is aligned with the 
day indicator (C); 

 

push in skipper tabs (E) which correspond with the 
desired days of regeneration. 

 

The  regeneration  frequency,  i.e.  the  number  of  days  of 
service  after  which  the  system  needs  to  be  regenerated, 
must  be  calculated,  by  dividing  the  nominal  exchange 
capacity of the system (see Technical Specifications) by: 
1.

 

the local water hardness, 

2.

 

the daily water usage. 

 
Example:  

 

Micro Budget 6 

 

Water hardness = 19 °f 

 

Water usage = 500 L/day = 0,5 m³/day 

 

 

Regen freq.  =  nominal      exchange      capacity  

 

water hardn. x daily water usage 

 
 

=             31       m³x°f  

 

19 °f x 0,5 m³/day 

 

 

=  3,2 days  

 

Regenerate every 2 days
