⚙️ How It Works
The Astero NXT Autovalve acts as the central controller for an automatic filtration or softening system.
1. Monitors Plant Inputs
The controller receives signals from the system's level switches, pump contacts, dosing level, UV input, remote fault and flow monitoring points.
2. Runs the Programmed Treatment Logic
The panel uses its pre-programmed filter/softener logic to coordinate the treatment process and automatic valve operation.
This reduces the need for the operator to manually control individual treatment steps.
3. Controls the Pumps
The controller operates Pump 1 and Pump 2 and can automatically change over to the standby pump when required.
This provides greater operational continuity for systems equipped with duty/standby pumping.
4. Controls the Automatic Multiport Valve
The panel is designed to work with automatic multiport valves used in filtration and softening applications, allowing the treatment system's valve operations to be automated.
5. Monitors Flow
The built-in flow indicator provides flow-rate information, while the totaliser records accumulated flow.
6. Protects the Motors
The controller continuously considers motor operating conditions and provides protection against:
- Overload
- Single phasing
- Dry running
These protections remain active even when the panel is operated manually.
7. Displays Plant Status
The 16×2 LCD provides operating information, while the 5-LED mimic diagram provides visual I/O indication. The different-colored backlight helps distinguish healthy and fault conditions.
8. Provides Flexible Operation
Depending on the application, the operator can use:
AUTO → Automatic operation according to programmed logic
SEMI-AUTO → Operator-assisted operation
MANUAL → Direct pump control for testing and maintenance
The manual also provides dedicated controls for selecting the system mode, enabling/bypassing the treated-water float and starting/stopping Pump 1 or Pump 2.
