    AL Fault message output ("Alarm") Output "AL" is a volt-free change-over relay contact. During trouble-free operation, the contact between the terminals 22 - 23 is closed and the one between terminals 23 - 24 is open. During power failure or if an error occurs, the contact between terminals 23 - 24 is closed and the one between terminals 22 - 23 is open.

    Electric control of regeneration valves VALVE TYPE It is possible to use central control valves or pilot distributors with up to 8  Change-over stage/positions with impulse or change-over control as well as pilot valves with 4 positions. Impulse In the case of pilot valves, the number of stages is set to a maximum of 3 regeneration stages as these valves usually have 4 positions.

    Automatic calculation of the filter capacity If the total water hardness varies strongly, it is also possible to automate the calculation of the filter capacity (available soft water quantity). The total water hardness is measured with an analysis instrument (Testomat 2000/ECO) and requested at the measuring input IN 0/4-20mA.
