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.
The SFE controller offers the possibility to manually start regeneration simply by pressing the regeneration
button, as well as initiate a regeneration from an external signal.
The controller is able to receive an external signal for regeneration inhibition, that will block any
regeneration start as long as the inhibit signal is received by the controller.
The SFE controller can manage a chlorine production cell that will be activated during the brine draw cycle
of the regeneration.
Whenever a regeneration has started, the regeneration can be cancelled by pressing button for
5 seconds. The controller will then place the valve back to service position.
4.4 Manual regeneration
To initiate a manual regeneration, press and hold the button for five seconds. The SFE controller
allows choosing whether to start the regeneration immediately or delayed at the programmed time. Here
under are showed the two displayed options, use the buttons to scroll and press to confirm.
Immediate manual regeneration Delayed manual regeneration

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. If both searches fail, the message FR01 is displayed.
4.6 Salt recharge
The controller has a counter that is decreased by one at each regeneration. When the counter reaches 0,
a salt alarm is generated. To recharge the counter to the initial value of the parameter SA, press and hold
when the module is in service, “SAL” will flash on the display for 5 seconds and the counter will be
reset to the value setup.
4.7 Statistics menu
The Statistics menu displays some historical data of the module. To open the Statistics menu, press and
hold for 5 seconds.
The following data are displayed:
Data Description
Xxxx Number of regenerations carried out
SAxx Number of residual regenerations before the salt alarm is generated.
FFxx Number of days elapsed since the last regeneration.
Lxxxxxx Overall volume treated (in litres).
Xx:xx Day and time of the last regeneration carried out, the regeneration icon is on.
Xx:xx Day and time of the second last regeneration carried out, the service icon is on.
Xx:xx Day and time of the third last regeneration carried out service and regeneration icons are on simultaneously.
End End of the statistics.
189x Software release and revision.

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.
While the statistics are displayed, the regeneration icon is on, if not otherwise indicated.
4.8 Reset eeprom
To reset the eeprom to the default values, proceed as follows. In the service condition (regeneration cycle
not running and clock displayed):
- To open the Statistics menu, press and hold for 5 seconds.
- Press and release the
- Press and release the
- Press and release the
- Press and hold the for about 5 seconds
The display shows “rSt” for a few seconds; this means that the eeprom has been reset to the default
values.
NOTE: this procedure does not reset statistical data.

12
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. If the power failure occurs during a parameter reset, the reset
is closed without saving any changes made and at the end of the power failure it will be necessary to
go to parameter reset again and make the changes.
- The power failure occurs during a phase transition or a microswitch search. In this case, the module
still displays the current phase, the battery icon is turned on to indicate the blackout, the turning bar
is blocked to indicate that the motor has stopped. At the end of the power failure, the motor restarts
to complete the movement.
- The power failure occurs during a phase of the regeneration cycle. In this case, the module still displays
the current phase, the battery icon is turned on to indicate the power failure, the time count down is
stopped. At the end of the power failure, the stoppage time count is restarted and the process goes to
the next step.
- The power failure occurs during an alarm. In this case, the module still displays the alarm and the
battery icon is turned on to indicate the power failure. At the end of the power failure, the module
remains in alarm status.

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;
L.xxx: volume of resin, expressed in litres (l);
G.xxx: amount of salt (in grams) required to regenerate 1 litre of resin, (g/l).
The result of the formula gives the number of regenerations before generating a salt alarm and must be
typed, rounded down to the closest integer (for example 15.4 must be rounded to 15), in the advanced
menu.
Note 2: calculation of the volume of treatable water between two
regenerations.
The following formula is used to calculate the volume of treatable water (in litres) between two subsequent
regenerations:
Vtreatable-water = (L.xxx) x (C.xx) x 1000
(d.xxx - do.xx)
where:
d.xxx: incoming water hardness, in French degrees (°f);
do.xx: desired outgoing water hardness, in French degrees (°f);
C:xx: exchange capacity of the regenerating resin used (expressed in °f x m3/l or in grams of CaCO3);
L.xxx: volume of resin, expressed in litres (l).
The result of the formula gives the volume of treatable water (in litres) between two regenerations and
must be typed, rounded down to the closest integer (for example 34.6 litres must be rounded to 34 litres),
in the advanced menu.
Note that the desired outgoing water hardness value must be compatible with the
provisions of the regulations in force where the controller is used.
