General
Our control box type HY-MAG Competition is a high-quality menu and micro-processor controlled
control box providing maximum efficiency for the HY-MAG Water Conditioning Units sizes DN20
to DN65. The control box is set ex works to the individual water conditioning units.
The instruction render a survey on the menu guide and the individual programming possibilities
for the operator.
The control box shall only be started if the Harting plug connection between control box itself and
water conditioning unit is closed! Insert Harting connection of the control box into the correspond-
ing bushing at the water conditioning unit and close safety bracket.
NOTE : The HY-MAG Competition control box is provided with a transparent
plastic glass. To be able to change or set control operations, the plastic
cover must be opened with the right-hand closure.
Once setting has been finished, the glass must be closed again with an
audible noise.
Initiating phase
Once the control box was connected to the mains power and switched on, the initiating phase
and an initial system check is started automatically. Every individual and actually running operat-
ing sequence is shown in the LCD –display.

whereby the individual actual operation sequencesare shown in the display and bythe LED lights.
The individual operation phases are shown optically. The below display monitoring is shown dur-
ing continuous operation.

and setting of parameters.
Selection of individual menu sequences in menu levels, modification
and setting of parameters.
Retrieval of individual menu sequences, confirmation/ acknowedge-
ment of settings
NOTE: The monitoring returns to Standard Mode if input is delayed for more than 30 sec-
onds and standard operation is shown in the display.
Main programme menu
The individual sub-menus are selected in the main menu. The main menu is reached by pressing
the button once.
The below menu sequences can be retrieved by the buttons

The corresponding menu sequence is retrieved with the button and the respective sub-
menu shown.
Mode of operation
The operator can select between 3 different operation modes for the HY-MAG water conditioning
units.
Continuous
operation HY-MAG operates on a continuous 24 hour/day basis
Timer control The control box isin standby mode (LED standby). Switch-on and –off times
are controlled by the internal timers.
One switch-on and –off time per day can be programmed.
Operation off No operation of HY-MAG - no water treatment/conditioning. Such operation
mode shall not be selected and set for normal operation but exclusively for
test mode!
The above operation modes can be selected by pressing the buttons and the correct
mode then be confirmed and acknowledged by pressing the button once.
The control box and/or monitoring returns automatically to main menu after the setting has
been confirmed.
Operating hours
The operating hours of the HY-MAG unit are registered by 2 separate counters.
Absol. value: Total operation time of HY-MAG unit in the actual installation.
(Operation hours since start-up). Standby-times are not registered and
thus, not shown.
Relative value Operating hours of unit counted from a certain period of time.
The counter can be reset by the operator. (Operating hours since
last reset).
The below display is shown after the main menu sequence ‘operating hours’is retrieved:

The operator is in a position to reset the relative operating hours by pressing the button
once and the relative operating hours counting from the last reset are shown in the display.
The operating hours can be cleared by pressing the button once or the buttons also is used
to reach and return to the previous display.
Clearing the relative operating hours results in an automatic store and monitoring in line 2 of the
actual time of clearing.
Date / Time
The operator can alter the internal timer and the date as described below. The main menu Date /
Time must initially be retrieved, whereby the display shows the actual setting.
If the setting is to be altered, press the button and should no modification be requested, the
sub-menu can be left by pressing the button .
The active field that can be altered is marked with a line underneath. Alter the setting by pressing
the buttons or until the desired figure is visible. The setting is finished once the Cursor
is not flashing anymore. The mode is achieved by pressing the corresponding button . The
menu can be left by pressing the button once.
NOTE: If the button is pressed during the modification phase, the input is interrupted
and the changed figures not be registered.

Time zones
The switch-on and –off times of the unit can be programmed in the menu ‘Time zones’after the
operation mode ‘Timer control’was retrieved. One such setting is possible per day.
A group of several days or also individual days can be programmed by the operator. Switch-on
and switch-off times are controlled and initiated by the internal timer.
Groups: Mo ... Su
(several days)
Mo ... Fr
Sa ... Su
Individual days: Mo, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fr, Sa, Su
and so on –for every day in the week.
An initial selection of the desired menu is possible with the Cursor buttons , the menu
is then retrieved by pressing the button once and the switching times can then be altered
with the Cursor buttons. The figure that can actually be altered is marked with a line underneath.
Once the correct setting is achieved, the button must be pressed until the line underneath
is no longer visible. If the total switch settings for the selected and retrieved group of days /indi-
vidual day are to be cleared, press the button once.
The times for switch-on and switch-off can be selected right on the dot. Below is an example for
setting switch time - group of days Mo-Su, switch-on 6.00 a.m., switch-off 10.00 p.m.
NOTE: If times different to the individual days than provided in the corresponding group of
days are set, the displayfor the group of days show**:**-**:** and the actual switch
time is set in the day monitoring.
If the switch-off time is set earlier than the switch-on time or if the times were reset
(00:00-00:00), the water conditioning unit is not activated that day(s).

Failure Indication
The Competition control box is provided with an automatic failure recognition. The failure type is
shown.
In case of failure, the total LED-scale flashes red and the display shows the type of failure.
Moreover, it is possible to signal a failure via a potential-free contact. The correct connection is
shown in the terminal plan and such relay-contact can be load as below:-
Rated current: 6A
Rated voltage: 250V AC
max. breaking capacity: 1500W (class AC1 –Ohm load)
max. breaking capacity: 300W (class AC15 –electro-magnetic load)
min. breaking capacity: 500mW / 12V / 10mA
Failure 1: Undercurrent
Coil not closed, faulty connection control box → water unit
Failure 2: Overload
Short cut of coil, faulty coil
Failure 3: Short cut
Short cut in coil connection (visible during initialisation)
Failure 4: Control box failure
failure in any electrical component of the control box, e.g. faulty components

Failure –remedial action
General:
If there is no display or should no sign for any operation be visible, initially check the following:
Check whether or not the unit is switched on and mains voltage 230V/50 cps available. If that is
all correct, check the fuse as per the below instruction:
The fuse is provided in the terminal unit on the ledge for the water part connections and mains
supply. Please take care that the mains plug is removed prior to opening the unit! Open the lower
front cover and replace fine fuse (3.15 AT).
If there is still no LED scale visible, inform the technical department of Hydrotec.
Failure 1: Undercurrent
Check connection and correct fit of Harting coupling.
Failure 2: Overload
Failure at magnet coil in water unit. Inform Hydrotec immediately in that case since there are no
further local steps possible.
The first time the failure had been recognised must be noted.
Disconnect unit from mains voltage
Failure 3: Short cut
Short cut (external) of coil circuit
Disconnect unit from mains supply. Check for foreign particles in connection (spiral cable of con-
trol box and connection socket of water unit).
Restart unit. Hydrotec have to be informed immediately if the failure arises again. There are no
further local measures necessary. Disconnect the unit from mains supply.
Failure 4: Control box
Faulty control box. Return box for inspection to Hydrotec along with corresponding failure report
or other information.
Supply conditioning unit
Supply main voltage
Voltage free contact
Fuse 3,15 AT
