Product Features
The controller supports 1 to 10 filter stations in a single unit, accommodating systems from single filter units to complex multi-tank configurations. Its modular design allows expansion as filtration needs grow.
Two versions are available to suit different installation environments:
DC Controller: Operates on 6V or 12V DC power, controlling two-wire 12V DC latch type electromagnetic heads
AC Controller: Equipped with a built-in transformer, accepts 110V or 220V AC input and provides 24V AC output for electromagnetic heads
Backflush cycles can be initiated through three separate methods:
Pressure Differential: Embedded electronic sensor triggers backflush when the preset pressure difference across the filter is reached
Time-Based: Programmable intervals initiate automatic backflush cycles
Manual: Operators can start backflush cycles on demand
The controller includes backflush limit detection to prevent infinite loop scenarios. This feature stops unnecessary backflushing when predefined limits are exceeded.
It features a customized backlit LCD display and a 4-button keyboard (ENTER, +, -, function). The display automatically turns off after 1 minute of inactivity to conserve energy. The controller emits a beep every 20 seconds as a reminder, and pressing any button for a few seconds reactivates the display.
Beyond backflush valves, the controller can operate holding valves and main valves. It also includes an alarm output for remote notification of system status or fault conditions.
Product Uses
This controller is suitable for:
Automatic screen filter systems
Automatic disc filter systems
Sand filter systems
Multi-station filtration systems
Greenhouse irrigation filtration
Industrial water treatment
Retrofit of existing manual filter systems
Mount the controller in a weather-protected location with adequate space for wiring and ventilation.
Connect the power supply according to your controller version (DC or AC).
Install pressure taps before and after the filter system and connect the differential pressure sensor.
Connect backflush valves (electromagnetic heads) to the controller outputs.
Connect holding valves, main valves and alarm output as required.
Complete the initial confirmation process to define the backflush program and calibrate for your environment.
Problem | Possible Cause | Solution |
Display not working | No power | Check power connections |
Display not working | Display timeout | Press any button to reactivate |
Cannot enter edit mode | Controller locked | Power cycle and retry |
Values not changing | Edit mode not active | Press ENTER to enter edit mode |
Backflush not initiating | Sensor failure | Check sensor connections |
Backflush not initiating | Programming incorrect | Verify settings |
Backflush not initiating | Valve failure | Check valve connections |
Continuous backflushing | Backflush limit exceeded | Check water quality; adjust settings |
Continuous backflushing | Sensor malfunction | Replace sensor |
Alarm triggering | System fault | Check system; clear fault |
FAQ
The FILTRON 1-10 controller supports 1 to 10 filter stations, suitable for single filter units or complex multi-station filtration systems.
Two versions are available: DC controller for 6V or 12V DC power supply (controls two-wire 12V DC latch type electromagnetic heads), and AC controller with built-in transformer for 110V or 220V AC input (provides 24V AC output for electromagnetic heads).
Backflush can be triggered three ways: pressure differential sensing when the set value is reached, time-based programming at set intervals, or manual initiation by the operator.
The controller features a customized LCD display and 4-button keyboard (ENTER, +, -, function). The display shows multiple editable and non-editable fields for programming and monitoring.
Press ENTER to enter edit mode – the cursor flashes under the current editable field. Use "+" and "-" to adjust values, then press ENTER to confirm and move to the next field. Continue through all fields until programming is complete.
