Aqua Timer Plus - 4/34
1 – BASIC CHARACTERISTICS
Aqua Timer Plus is dedicated to the control of a SIATA multi-port valve for the realisation of water softening
systems, working on the principle of ionic exchange resins.
Aqua Timer Plus can control a hydraulic distributor which, with one or two SIATA valves, forms an
electrical/hydraulic command unit for single or duplex systems.
When Aqua Timer Plus is programmed in a duplex mode, it is possible to activate a particular regeneration cycle,
which has a stand-by position at the start of the regeneration.
Aqua Timer Plus automatically calculates the volume of treatable water based on the following parameters:
the hardness of the water
the volume of the tank
the capacity of the exchange of the resins used
The regeneration cycle is entirely programmable and may be run in three different ways:
by time (the programmed time running out sets off the regeneration)
by volume (the programmed volume running out sets off the regeneration)
mixed (this is a combination of the first two)
manually
by an external signal (remote starter)
It is also possible, by pressing the key Reset to cancel a regeneration in progress, or to jump one or more phases by
pressing the key Regener during the stop phase.
Aqua Timer Plus makes it possible to use an outlet which is activated during the second phase of the regeneration
cycle (phase 2C normally used for having the regenerants moved along the resin), which may be used to control the
supply of an electrolytic cell for chlorine or any other electrical controller.
Aqua Timer Plus is equipped with a counter of the regenerations which may be carried out with the salt introduced
into the system; the controller will emit an alarm when it is the right time to restore the salt level.
Aqua Timer Plus may be connected to a computer via RS232 using the correct cable serial cod. 881-1, so as to be able
to acquire and then analyse the progress of the work parameters.
Aqua Timer Plus is equipped with a buffer battery which allows for the work parameters to be retained in the
memory should the electricity current fail.
Aqua Timer Plus is equipped with an EEPROM memory, on which the programmed data is memorised, with the
capacity to retain data for over 10 years.
Aqua Timer Plus, like all the range of SIATA controllers, conforms to the EEC Directives and is produced in the
SIATA plant of Montespertoli which operates with the certified Quality System according to the regulation
ISO 9001 / UNI EN ISO 9001.

5 – GENERAL
The installation of the controller must be carried out by qualified personnel; the installation procedures must be carried
out when the controller is disconnected from the electricity supply
5.1 – Packaging and storage
The packaging consists of a cardboard box with a label identifying the product, carrying the following infrormation:
name of producer and PN producer AT-PLUS2/05; the quick reference guide for the installation and programming
may be found inside.
No particular procedures are necessary for the removal of the controller from the packaging.
The controller must be stored in environments with the following characteristics:
Temperature of between +0°C and +55°C;
Relative humidity of between 30 % and 95 %.
5.2 – Installation
The controller consists of a PVC box with a cover in plexi-glass which may be opened manually, giving access to the
keypad, and of a cover which may be removed by removing two screws and which gives access to the external
connection terminal board.
The box is covered by a certificate with the IP65 grade of protection, Aqua Timer Plus is therefore protected against
infiltration of dust and direct jets of water. This protection is valid when the cover is closed, and the wiring slots are of
the correct size for the cables used and are correctly assembled. If these conditions are not respected, the level of
protection falls to IP40, which gives no protection against infiltration of dust and water.
The back of the box is equipped with mechanical details which allow it to be wall-mounted.

Aqua Timer Plus - 8/34
5.3 – Electrical connections
The electrical connection of the controller must take place conforming to the conditions stated in the diagram CE0027
shown on the attached appendix A.
If the system uses a single hydraulic distributor connected with one or two valves, the relative electrical connections
must conform to that indicated in the diagram CE0028 which is shown on the attached appendix B.
If the system uses a duplex hydraulic distributor connected to one valve each, the relative electrical connections must
conform to that indicated in the diagram CE0021 which is shown on the attached appendix C.
Also follow the instructions shown in par. 6.11 on the connections.
The controller is equipped with free contact outlets with the following signals.
-Dosing pump
-End of cycle impulse
-Impulse during phase 2
-Alarm
-Regeneration in progress
Warning!!
Before carrying out any installation and/or maintenance operation, check that the controller is disconnected from the
power supply.
The supply to the controller must take place in accordance with all that is set out in the Low Voltage directive
(73/23/EEC). Aqua Timer Plus is equipped with a clip for the earth connection.
5.4 – Protection devices
The controller is protected from current overloads by a 0.6A supply retardant fuse which is assembled on the front
panel. It is also protected against disturbances originating from the electricity supply by filters mounted inside the
controller.
If the version supplied at 24 Vac is used, the fuse is 1A retardant.
An Autoreset circuit intervenes automatically if Aqua Timer Plus stops functioning after particularly strong
disturbances.

Aqua Timer Plus - 9/34
6 – INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
6.1 – Turning on
The controller is turned on via the main switch ON (I) - OFF (0) situated on the front panel. This switch acts on both
supply conductors.
The supply voltage must be 230 Vac - 50 Hz. (on demand 24 Vac – 50 Hz. )
Check the supply voltage using the adhesive labels situated on the cover of the connections.
6.2 – Programming of the operative modalities
Before proceeding to the programming of Aqua Timer Plus, it must be checked that the distributor cams are positioned
at the limit cycle position. If operations are to be carried out on the controller before its installation, that is without the
distributor connected, the limit switch entry must be closed with a connection bridge. If this simple rule is not
respected, Aqua Timer Plus will accept all the new programming, but will not be able to carry out the normal
operations needed during the service.
The programming will be carried out via the keypad on the front of the controller.
Aqua Timer Plus has the following operative modalities:

6.2.5 – LLL2 – LL–2 – One duplex column with start by volume.
6.2.5.a – Operative characteristics.
In this operative modality the regeneration starts exclusively when the volume reaches the value 0.
The flag 0HL allows for the enabling also of the start of the regeneration by time. Thus, the immediate start of the cycle
by finished volume remains unchanged to which the start of the cycle at the programmed time after the interval days
programmed or on the active days is added.
The control on the reserve is not available.
The control on the remote start is available, and can start up the regeneration both immediately and deferred to the
programmed time, on the basis of the content of the flag 2HL.
In this operative modality it is not possible to activate the cycle with the stand-by.

6.2.6 – LLL2 – LL–3 – One duplex column with mixed time / volume start.
6.2.6.a – Operative characteristics.
In this operative modality the control for the start of the regeneration depends on the use or otherwise of the cam with
stand-by, that is of the programming of the flags 1CL and 2CL.
If both of the flags are programmed with the value 0, the regeneration cycle is standard in 4 phases of 25 seconds. The
start of the cycle is controlled by the running out of the interval time between two regenerations, or by the running out
of the volume. The latter condition, differently from that described in par. 6.2.3.a, does not activate a request for
regeneration to be carried out at the programmed time, but causes the immediate start of the cycle.
The same effect is obtained also by programming to 1 only the flag 2CL, that is when the standard regeneration cycle
standard with a stand-by cam is required to be carried out.
If both of the flags are programmed with the value 1, the controller carries out the regeneration with stand-by. In this
case, the running out of the volume causes a request for regeneration which will be carried out at the programmed time.
The controller will immediately position the cam in the stand-by position, that is it will carry out the exchange of the
columns. The regeneration will start from the stand-by position.
The control on the reserve is not available.
The control on the remote start is available, and this can start up the regeneration both immediately and deferred to the
programmed time, on the basis of the content of the flag 2HL.
