Aqua Ionic - 4 di 24
1 – GENERAL CHARACTERISTICS
Aqua Ionic manages SIATA multi-way valves for the creation of water treatment devices.
The regenerative cycle, which is completely programmable, can be activated in either of the
following ways:
after a programmable time during which the probe detects that the water is not good;
immediately when the treatable volume is exhausted;
manually, using the Manual Regen key;
immediately by means of the Remote Start external signal.
Aqua Ionic is provided with an eeprom memory where the programming is stored, and of a buffer
battery allowing to keep the working parameters in the memory in the event of a supply voltage
failure.
Aqua Ionic, as well as all the other SIATA controllers, is compliant with the EEC Directives and is
built in the SIATA factory in Montespertoli, Florence (Italy) working with the Quality System
certified according to the following standard
ISO 9001 / UNI EN ISO 9001.

Key functionality (Tab. 2)
X 0.1
When pressed during operation, it changes the setting of the X 1 or X 10 probes.
When pressed at the end of the programming phase, it allows to access the
programming of the regeneration cycle phases.
PROGRAM
MODE
It allows to access the programming functions of the working parameters.
ADVANCE
When pressed during programming or time setting, it allows to increase the digit
blinking on the display.
When pressed during operation, it allows to display the residual volume.
SELECT
It allows to change the regeneration start mode.
MAN. REGEN
It allows to activate the regeneration manually.
RESET
During programming, it allows to quit without saving the parameter being
modified when the key is pressed.
During regeneration it ends it.
HIDDEN KEY
Placed below the 6 keys, in the middle between Advance and Volume/Clock, it
allows to start a test regeneration. When pressed during some programming
phases, it zeroes the digit blinking on the display.

4 – CODE MEANING
On the case rear panel a label as in Fig. 2 indicates:
AI7-02/05 the controller code
12705 the order number (which is the same as the lot number)
SN 110/98 the serial number with reference to the code
In particular, the controller code is composed as follows:
AI 7 – 02 / 05
Controller version, assigned by the Technical Office for
customizations (05 = standard).
Typology of the electric connections (02 = DIN sockets).
Number of drivers (7 = 7 drivers).
Family to which the controller belongs (AI = Aqua Ionic).

5 - GENERAL INFORMATION
Please find herewith below some instructions to be followed during the controller usage and
maintenance in order to ensure its long-term operativity.
5.1 – Packaging and storage
The package consists in a box with a product identification label.
The device must be stored in environments compliant with the following characteristics:
-temperature within +4°C e +40°C;
-relative humidity within 30 % and 95 %.
5.2 – Installation
The controller installation must be performed by qualified technical staff; the installation
procedures must be performed when the device is off power.
The device consists in an ABS case closed on front by a cover blocked with 4 screws. As an
optional, a transparent cover is available that can be used as a keyboard protection.
The controller is supplied by a 230 / 12 Vac transformer. Upon request, other types of transformer
are available (Es. 115 / 12 Vac – 60 Hz).
The right hand side of the case is opened where the DIN sockets are placed (Fig. 9).

In the event you would like to supply the controller external drivers (see Fig. 3 and 4) with
compressed air, please make sure that:
The air pressure be within 1 and 6 bar, and however not higher than the input water pressure;
an air humidification system (with water or proper silicone lubricant) is mounted on the air line,
in order to prevent the driver internal seals from getting dry;
SIATA always recommends to supply the drivers with water. In this case it is necessary to use an
input filter to avoid impurities.
Please be particularly careful when installing the controller in environments that are not compliant
with the EN 50082-1 standard (electromagnetic compatibility).
5.3 – Maintenance
Mind to check the battery efficiency about every 12 months as follows:
Switch off the timer for at least 15 minutes.
The timer disconnected from the supply voltage, check the battery voltage using a multimeter. If
the measured voltage is less than 3,2 Vdc, replace the battery with the spare part code 867.
The following servicing operations must always be performed when the controller is off power.
In case of replacement of the electronic board only and each time you operate on the open case,
please avoid as much as possible touching the components and the welded parts with your hands,
above all in the microprocessor area, since possible electrostatic discharges could seriously damage
the controller.
Furthermore, we recommend not to place the electronic board on a metal surface, unless it is
properly isolated (a couple of paper sheets will be sufficient).
To store the electronic boards, please always use the anti-static envelopes that come with the
replacement kits.
Avoid the electronic board to come in contact with liquids. In case it happens, please dry it with an
air jet.
5.4 – Safety devices
The controller is provided with the following safety devices :
Safety and isolation transformer.
Safety electronic circuit against voltage peaks and disturbances.

6 – INSTRUCTIONS FOR USE
6.1 – Powering on
Aqua Ionic is not provided with power switches. Powering on is obtained by connecting the power
transformer to the outlet.
6.2 – Working
After powering on, the display placed on the front panel will display the conductivity value read by
the probe.
The regeneration starting modalities are the following:
Auto Set Point
The regeneration starts at the expiration of the programmed delay time that
begins to be counted when the conductivity value read by the probe exceeds the
programmed threshold limit.
Auto Volume
Immediate start when the available volume is exhausted.
Auto Set Point
+ Auto Volume
The timer performs both the above mentioned checks and will activate the
regeneration as soon as either of the two checks will indicate that the foreseen
conditions have been reached.
Manual
The regeneration starts only when pressing the proper key.
Auto Set Point
+ Manual
The timer performs the checks requested by the Auto Set point mode, but it is not
able to perform the regeneration in the automatic mode.
Auto Volume +
Manual
The timer performs the checks requested by the Auto Volume mode, but it is not
able to perform the regeneration in the automatic mode.
Event
What happens
Display
Powering on
The display shows the conductivity value read by
the probe.
0 0 5 0
Start of operation
At the end of a regeneration, or pressing the reset
key, the working parameters are restored with the
programmed values. The display shows the
conductivity.
0 0 5 0
Exhausting volume
The impulses issued by the counter allow to
decrease the treatable volume. The display is still
showing the conductivity.
0 0 5 0
The regeneration will start when the volume
reaches value 0 and the timer is programmed in the
Auto Volume mode.
