An alarm that limits the number of maximum pressure washes in a single day has been added so as to
limit its use to pool ltration systems, so that priority is given to the pool not being emptied due to poor
conguration of the system.
The hydraulic and electric operation of the valve is checked at the factory
1.2 FLOW DIAGRAM FOR THEVARIOUS VALVE OPERATING POSITIONS.
The valve should be installed in the lter following the instructions provided in the hydraulic connection
diagram.
Installation under load, the maximum water column that can be supported by the pump is six metres
(19.68 ft).
The hydraulic connections for correct operation are made by following the markings on the valve itself.
PUMP indicates the connection coming from the pump.
TOP indicates the upper input to the lter.
BOTTOM indicates the lower exit from the lter to the valve.
RETURN indicates the return from the valve to the swimming pool.
WASTE indicates the connection to the drains.

ENGLISH
1.2.2 Backwash position
The valve automatically reverses the ltration cycle and commences the ltering process. This function
requires that the valve is set so that the water coming from the PUMP connection passes through the
valve and is taken to the lter by the BOTTOM connection, the sand is stirred and the water, together with
any accumulated dirt exits the valve TOP connection which communicates with the WASTE connection
(emptying) and is taken to the drain. This process is carried out in accordance with the pre-established
timing on the keyboard.
1.2.3 Rinse position
The valve is positioned to compress the lter bed and not to send water containing sand to the swimming
pool.This function is achieved by water coming from the PUMP connection entering the lter by theTOP
connection, it thencompresses thesandand thewaterentersthevalvevia theBOTTOM connection which
then sends it to theWASTE connection. This process is carried out in function of the pre-established time
and once it has elapsed, the valve commences the ltration process again.
1.2.1 Filtration position:
The pump sucks water from the swimming pool via the skimmer, bottom cleaner or drain, it is taken to
the multiport valve (PUMP connection) and from here to the lter (TOP). It passes through the lter bed
and returns to the valve once again via the BOTTOM connection and is taken back to the swimming pool
by means of the RETURN connection.
The valve includes a pressure switch that determines the saturation pressure of the lter and therefore
whenitisnecessarytocarryoutawashingandrinsingprocessofthelter.Therangeofthepressureswitch
is from 30 to 200 kPa (0,3 - 2 bar / 4.2 – 28.4 psi), which is factory set to an operating pressure of 200 kPa
(2 bar) (29 psi). A new specic regulation of the pressure switch should be carried out for each installation
so that the operating system to wash the lter is correct. (see paragraph 2.5).
If the pressure exceeds the pre-established limit, the valve will automatically change position to start a
washing and rinsing cycle. This cycle can also be automatically time controlled, after 24 hours or 7 days
from when the last wash was carried out, as long as the valve is connected to the electricity.

2. INSTALLATION.
2.1 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION.
Thespecicsheetforthehydraulicconnectionofthevalvetothelterisattached.Pleasetakeintoaccount
the following warnings:
- Apply PTFE sealing tape on the male thread elements, avoiding sealing paste under all circumstances.
- The use of 3 piece links between the valve and the rest of the installation is recommended to facilitate
possible maintenance tasks.
- Always install a ball valve in the return pipes to the pool.
- Use a suitable glue for the ABS to glue the elbow supplied for the BOTTOM opening of the valve body.
2.2 ELECTRICAL CONNECTION.
Thecontrolmoduleoftheautomaticvalvewillalwaysbeconnectedtoacontrolcabinetthatwilldetermine
the ltration times of the pool by means of a timer. The minimum components that the control cabinet
must have are: dierential (advisable), circuit breaker, pump contactor, position switch (on"II" / high "I")
and programmer clock.
The contactor controls the ltration pump and the valve is connected to the operation of this contactor
in series to the connection coming from the timer in order to stop the pump.
Follow the following instructions in order to prepare the control box and its connection to the electronic
module:
-Powersupply:115-230Vac. Itis advisabletotakethe current fromthecontrolbox connect tothe "out"
terminal of the dierential (if used), or else connect the L, N and T terminals from the magneto thermal
breakertothecorrespondingL,NandTterminalsoftheelectronicmodule.Thisconnectionhasnopolarity.
We recommend that a 3 wire earthed cable of 0.75 mm2 is used (H05VV-F) with a cord diameter of 5 to
6.7mm(Tighteningtorque:1.5Nm).ThecableshouldmeetthespecicationsforLowVoltageRegulation,
as well as other local regulations.
It is mandatory to install a multiple switch that allow the power failure of the device from the control
box.
It's essential for the valve to have the power supply switched on at all times, to guarantee
that the anti-condensation device works properly.
- Control of the contactor solenoid pump: connect series terminals 4-5 of the valve with the input
connection to thecontactorcoil A1.Thevalvewill stop thepump when anyoperationneeds tobe carried
out.We recommend that a 2 thread cable of 0.75 mm2 is used (H05VV-F) with a cord diameter of 5 to 6.7
mm (Tightening torque: 1.5 Nm).This connection has no polarity.
This connection must be made for the valve's correct functioning, as the electronics detects a minimum
consumption to thus avoid, that the operations are carried out with the pressure pump working which
could damage the valve.
It is important that only the solenoid contactor is connected and that there is no other power source
connected so that 0.4 A are exceeded.

ENGLISH
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION BETWEEN THE CONTROL CABINET AND THE VALVE
A1 / A2 are the terminals used to connect the ltration pump's contactor coil.Ter-
minal J10 of the multiport valve must always be connected to connection A1 of the
contactor coil. The J10 socket (4-5) of the selector valve must always be connected
to A1 connection of the contactor coil.
We should ensure that the contactor's operation line, which is connected in series to
the valve does not under any circumstances share the power supply with any other
device, and the intensity of the operation line never exceeds 400 mA. If this point is
omitted it may cause irreversible damage to the equipment.
In cases where another component has to be connected which needs be activated
at the same time as the pump, we recommend the use of an auxiliary contact of the
pump contactor.
In the event the supply of the valve is connected to a three-phase electrical circuit, always make the on-
nection between one phase and the neutral, never between two phases, since that way the maximum
voltage allowed by the valve electronics would be exceeded.
The control circuit (for example contactor's coil of ltration pump) is powered at U andV in this schema.
U andV can be Alternative Current (AC) where U is Line andV is Neutral, or Direct Current
(DC), where U isVdc and V is GND.
Maximum voltage = 230V.

2.3 EXAMPLE OF CONNECTING A SINGLE PHASE 230 V ELECTRICAL CABINET
Before proceeding with the installation of the materials, users must ensure that the assembly and
maintenance work is carried out by qualied and authorised workers who have read and unders-
tood the installation and service instructions.The following diagram shows the external connec-
tions required to connect a SystemVRAC multiport valve to an ASTRALPOOL 25717 cabinet.
Disconnect the A1 end of the cable leading from connection 2 of the 3-position switch and add a
terminal block for the valve control connection.

12
ENGLISH
2.4 FUSE .
The valve's electronics board incorporates a safety fuse to prevent any damage being caused to the J10
connection (terminals 4 and 5).
As stated in the previous point, incorrect connections or other connected components which increase
power consumption at the connection between the solenoid valve of the pump contactor and the valve
may result in operational faults.
A fuse therefore prevents the consumption through this conductor exceeding 0.4 A, thus preventing such
faults.Intheeventthatthefusefails,checktheelectricalinstallationtoensurethatitmatchestheelectrical
diagram before replacing the fuse with a new one of the same specications.
2.5 PRESSURE SWITCH ADJUSTMENT.
Use the lter or valve manometer as a reference guide when reading the pressure gauge. Proceed as
follows:
1ºTurn the pressure switch screw (1) (APPENDIX 1 - g. 1) until it is ush with the black piece (it is not
necessary to tighten it all the way).
2º With the pump running, close the return valve to the swimming pool until you can read on the
manometer the maximum pressure you wish the equipment to be run on. This point is the pressure
value at which the valve will start the backwash and rinse process of the lter.
3º Gently loosen the screw (1) (ANNEX 1 - Fig. 1) of the pressure switch until the green LED backwash
button light of the control panel comes on (see chapter 4.1 of this manual). After approximately 20
seconds, the pump will stop and start the wash routine.
4º IMPORTANT. Open the pool return valve.
The pool’s return tube has to be equipped with a ball valve to ensure a correct adjustment.
2.6 DRAINAGE SAFETY.
The valve comes ready to be installed in an electrovalve in the drainage circuit. Its use is recommended in
order to avoid water loss in case there is no electrical connection and the valve ends up in a position that
could lead to the pool emptying. The electrovalve used should have as low a pump pressure orice as
possible,maximum40 -50kPa(0.4- 0.5bar).Thevoltageofthesolenoidshouldbe 24Vac(See APPENDIX
1 - Fig. 9).

3.3 GUARANTEES.
The valves leave the factory in a fully tested condition, which enables us to guarantee operation. The
guarantee will be eective provided that the installation and maintenance has been correctly carried
out and this requires that the actual installation operation be performed by a person with the necessary
qualications for this type of work. A specic sheet with the valve guarantees is attached to the manual.
3. MAINTENANCE AND GUARANTEES.
3.1 HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION MAINTENANCE
Regular maintenance needs to be carried out on all components of the pool's hydraulic circuit in order
to ensure optimum operation of the installation and thereby prevent damage to the valve or any other
components.
The maintenance operations that may have a direct impact on the operation of the multiport valve are
listed below:
- Be sure to empty and wash the skimmer baskets on a regular basis to keep them clear of leaves and any
other waste. Baskets should be replaced if they are damaged.
- Be sure to empty the basket of the pump pre-lter, clearing away leaves and any other waste. Replace
the basket in the event of damage.
- Regulate the suction and return valves by adjusting the valve's pressure switch before setting the lter
wash pressure. This operation should be repeated whenever a component is changed or added to the
installation or whenever the regulation setting of the valves is changed.
3.2 SPECIFIC VALVE MAINTENANCE
The internal elements of the valve require regular maintenance in accordance with the following
specications:
- Perform all operations with the pump o and with the input and output valves to the lter and the
multiport valve closed.
- Remove the actuator as described in point 5.4 of the manual.
- Remove the remaining 3 screws holding the valve cover in place.
- Remove the cover to allow access to the internal distributor.
- Lift the distributor and clean the area around the distributor seal, clearing away any residue that may
hinder rotation.
- At least once a year, grease the O-rings on the distributor shaft to facilitate the movement of the
distributor.The grease used to lubricate the O-rings should be TURMSILON GL320 NLGI 1-2 (LUBCON).
Themanufacturersuppliesthespeciedgreasetogetherwiththevalve.Theuseofunauthorisedgrease

4. OPERATING ANG PROGRAMMING
4.1 CONTROL PANEL
The valve incorporates in the electronic module cover a panel with push buttons and LEDs to indicate the
function being performed by the valve.
4.2 WASHING CYCLE
4.2.1 Washing by timing of the washing cycle
The washing cycle interval of the keyboard allows a washing and rinsing cycle to be carried out once the
programmed time has elapsed, 24 hours or 7 days.
The timer will reset when:
-The timed cleaning function has been completed.
- A pressure switch backwash has completed.
-The backwash is nished though a push button.
- Power is connected or reconnected after a power outage.
The washes will be done only using pressure in the“OFF”position.
4.2.2 Washing using the press button
The button allows you to start a lter washing routine (washing + rinsing) without having to manipulate
the pressure switch or the return valve. The valve must be correctly connected to the electrical cabinet
and the timer lter programme activated.
If there is a power cut, the backwash and rinse times will remain stored in the valve until the valve once
has a power supply again.
Power supply: LED that indicates that the valve's power supply connection has
been correctly done.
MODBUS Communication: In case of connection in done through MODBUS, it
indicates when data is sent or received.
Connection (4-5): LED indicating that the solenoid of the contactor is active
and that the pump is therefore running.
Cyclewashpressbutton:Pressbuttontoactivatethewash+rinseprogramme.
Empty press button: Press button to activate the emptying function.
Press button for recirculating: Press button to activate the recirculation
function and that indicates that the function is in process.
Closed press button: Press button to move the valve to closed position.
Washing cycle interval: it is possible to programme a daily (every 24h), weekly
(7 days) wash or disable it (OFF).
Backwash time: the push buttons can increase or reduce the backwash time
and the activation of one of the LEDs shows the minutes of programmed wash. It
ashes when the function is running.
Rinse time: the push buttons can increase or reduce the rinse time and the
activation of one of the LEDs shows the rinse time selected. It ashes when the
function is running.
The LEDs on the wheel correspond to the position of the valve.They also indicate with short ashes if the
valve moves to that position and with a long ashes if the programme has remained in the memory at
the end of the ltration time.

15
ENGLISH
A single press starts the routine, which can be cancelled at any time by pressing the button again, so that
the valve returns to the ltering position. During the valve’s change of position, the LED of the button
ashes. Once the routine is nished, the valve will return to Filtration.
4.2.3 Washing by pressure
When the valve is in the Filtration position and the pump is running, an automatic washing and rinsing
programme will be carried out when the lter pressure exceeds the pressure set on the pressure switch
for more than 20s.The LED of the washing position also indicates the activation of the pressure switch
when the pressure exceeds the set value. See "Adjusting the pressure switch".
4.3 PROGRAMMING TIMES FOR WASHING AND RINSE.
The ltration time must be programmed using the programming clock installed in the control cabinet.
To programme the washing time, use the corresponding buttons on the programming page to select the
desired time in minutes, with the corresponding LED being illuminated. When the valve is performing
this function, the LED will ash.
Toprogrammethe Rinsetime,usethe keysonthe keyboardtoselectthe desiredtimein seconds,with the

will move to the Filtration position and the Closed function will be cancelled. Proceed as in 4.4.2 to force
the closed position out of the ltration time.
4.6 RECIRCULATION.
In order for the valve to be placed in the Recirculation position, it will be necessary to be in the Filtration
position and with the pump running. By briey pressing the corresponding button, the valve will change
position, the LED will remain on and the pump will remain active. Pressing again will cancel the function,
so the valve will return to Filtration and leave the pump running. In the event of the end of the ltration
time,thevalvewillmovetotheFiltrationpositionandtheRecirculationfunctionwillremaininthememory
(with the LED with a long ash), to continue when the pump is back on.
4.7 INDICATION OF FAULTS.
If some of the programmed errors are detected, the valve will start an operation to, whenever possible,
put itself into the ltration process and stop the pump, to be in a position where there is no unnecessary
loss of water.
Through the simultaneous ashing of the LEDs for power supply, wash time and back-wash time, we can
detect the valve's possible operating faults with the following code:
- Flashes once: failure in the micro ltration position or the motor does not turn.
- Two ashes: fault in any micro position except for the ltration one.
- Flashes three times: failure in the micro ratchet due to a possible break in the ratchet.
- Flashes four times: excess motor load because the distributor has been stopped.
Itis possiblethatthereissome externalelementthatstopsthe distributor goinground dueto anincorrect
maintenance of the hydraulic installation, or through the lack of maintenance of the valve itself.
Alwaysactasindicatedintherelevantpointsofthismanual:"Solutionofpossibleproblems,""Maintenance
of the hydraulic installation" and" Specic maintenance of the valve."
The valve carries out two operating attempts and whenever possible, will try to position itself in ltration
to show the error.
At rst it does not require any action from the manufacturer'sTechnical Service. In case of requiring their

- Flashes six times: failure of the distributor ascend micro.
- Flashes eight times: an error is activated that indicates that more than 3 wash programmes of t h e
lter have been carried out in less than 24 h activated by a pressure sensor.This is indicative of some error
in the pressure switch adjustment, or either the cable or the pressure switch is faulty.

6. MODBUS.
You have bought the automatic selector valve that includes the features of the MODBUS RTU.
MODBUS is an open communication bus that is widely used to connect dierent devices to a main control.
This is the reason why this standard of communication has been chosen, it is easy to integrate with other
products of the same brand and even with a wide range of products from other suppliers.
MODBUS, MODBUS-RTU and other related names are registered brands of MODBUS Organization. It is
possible to obtain additional information and documentation at http://www.modbus.org/.
MODBUS allows the control and supervision of some of the valve operations, as well as helping in
preventative maintenance and the analysis of defects, thanks to the implementation of internal registers
on the possible actions and most relevant errors.
The valve is ready to work with MODBUS, but it can work in a local mode like a traditional valve without
the need to connect the communication system.
The control system allows it, for example, to be moved to a specic position, inform on errors and on the
operating history and other features that oer the user/installer a wide range of new possibilities based
on automation.
Toobtainmoreinformation,consultthespecicmanualofMODBUS,thatis providedbythe manufacturer.
7. SOLUTION OF POSSIBLE PROBLEMS.
We attach a list of possible problems that can occur with the valve, together with the best solution.

PROBLEM CAUSE SOLUTION
The valve does not start up and the
LED is not lit up. Incorrect electrical connection Check the power connection solenoid.
The LED is lit but the back-wash does
not start. Incorrect electrical connection Check the LED Connection (4-5) is active. If not, check the electrical connection of the pump's
solenoid to terminal J10 (4-5).
The ltration pump is not working Check that the electric cabinet timer keeps the pump
running.
The actuator does not work and the
LEDs ash once. Failure in ltration position or the motor does not turn. Contact technical assistance or request a spare part for the motor unit.
The actuator does not work and the
LEDs ashes twice. Failure in any micro position except for the ltering one. Contact technical assistance.
The actuator does not work and the
LEDs ash 3 times. Failure in the micro ratchet. Contact technical assistance.
The actuator does not work and the
red light ash 4 times. The valve distributor is blocked. DISCONNECT THE POWER SUPPLY AND TAKE OFF THE ACTUATOR.
Take o the valve lid, clean the distributor and apply
grease shaft and o-rings withTURMSILON GL320
grease.
The actuator does not work and the
LEDs ash 6 times. Problem with the distributor ascend micro. Restart the valve's power supply for a few seconds. If this persists, contact technical assistance.
The buttons on the keypad do not
work. The connecting cable is discon- nected Check that it is correctly connected
The actuator does not work and the
LED ash 8 times More than 3 pressure washes have been carried out in less than 24h
due to a bad adjustment or through
a failure of the pressure switch.
Adjust the pressure switch correctly. If this persists,
contact technical assistance to obtain a spare part for
the pressure switch.
There have been more than 3
washes in less than 24h because the
return ball valve is closed or nearly
closed.
Open the ball valve and restart the power supply of
the valve or restart the last error incation.
There have been more than 3
washes in less than 24h due to the
defect in the pressure switch cable
Check the pressure switch connection cable.
The valve does not work and the fuse
has blown. There is an incorrect electrical con- nection producing an excessive level
of power consumption at terminal
J10 (4-5) of the valve.
Measure the power supply in the 4-5 connection
and review the electrical installation. Change the
fuse when the connection problem is solved (it is
delivered as a spare part).
The waste water electro-valve does
not open (in the case that it has been
installed)
The polarity of the cables has not
been respected Change the cables connection: red (+) and black (-).
Error in the electronic board Check the power in the solenoid valve terminal strip:
if it's less than 15Vcc, contact technical assistance.
Error in the electro-valve If the tension is correct, the problem has tobe in the
electro-valve.
