This chapter is available for standard regeneration types. Contact your supplier if the actual
regeneration is not standard and if you need assistance.
7.1.

Start up procedure

1. With the bypass still in Bypass position plug in the SFE-EV-VIRIDION controller to the power
source.
2. Proceed to programming according to your system specification if not done yet.
3. Start a manual regeneration by pressing
motor will move. The first stop will either refill, either backwash (see 6.4.3. Advanced
programming, "Variable brining function", page 52 and "BLFC size", page 62) If, 1B cycle (refill)
is displayed, press and release
position, unplug the SFE-EV-VIRIDION controller from the power source.
4. With the outlet manual valve still closed, slowly open the inlet manual valve and the bypass.
5. If in the installation are not present manual inlet/outlet valve but only a bypass, open the nearest
faucet close to the system, then slowly open the bypass valve. The valve and tank will slowly get
filled with raw water, allowing air to be purged by the drain and/or by the open faucet next to the
system. Open the inlet manual valve progressively until fully open position.
6. Once the drain runs clear and the inlet manual valve fully open, plug in again the 
SFE-EV-VIRIDION controller to the power source. Press
service position again.
7. After the controller is back in service position, enter advanced programming and go to the
parameter that controls manual opening of the brine valve (see 6.4.3. Advanced programming,
"Manual opening of brine valve", page 59).
8. Keep the brine valve open and check if the water flow in the brine tank. Refill until the water
reach the air check level, then close the brine valve.
9. Start again manual regeneration by pressing
refill first or variable brining let it perform a full refill (1B cycle). Otherwise skip to step 12.
10. In case there is a salt platform in the brine tank, after 1B cycle (refill) is finish, unplug the
controller and close the inlet manual valve to perform the following operations: check if the
water level has overcome the platform level for at least 5 cm or at least 10 cm if variable brining
function is activated. If not cut the salt platform feet in order to create this condition. Mark the
level reached by water with a pen. Put salt in the brine tank, and check the level reached by after
salt refill, mark this level also. In the future, after each regeneration, you can visually control
that the quantity of water refilled should be between the 2 marks done. Marking are optional, but
may allow to visually detect any irregularity during regeneration that may lead to softener
inefficiency.
11. Set the safety brine valve Floater in-between the higher marked level and the overflow elbow.
12. Plug the controller to power. It is now in backwash position. Press
