Press NEXT to go to Step 6F.
Press REGEN to return to previous step.
Set Regeneration Time
Options using or .
If value is set to:
• “NORMAL” means
regeneration will occur at the preset time;
• “on 0” means regeneration will occur immediately
when the volume capacity reaches 0 (zero); or
• “NORMAL + on 0”means regeneration will occur
at one of the following:
- the preset time when the volume capacity falls below
the reserve or the specified number of days between
regenerations is reached whichever comes first; or
- immediately after 10 minutes of no water usage when
the volume capacity reaches 0 (zero).
“NORMAL” is the default if Step 5CS is set to ALT A
or ALT B, and “NORMAL + on 0” is not available.
“on 0” is the default if Step 2CS is set to 1.0 , and

Regeneration & Error Screens, Button Operation & Function
Regen Screen
Displays the time remaining in the current cycle.
Pressing REGEN advances to the next cycle.
Error Screen
Alternated flashing Err and error code every 3 seconds.
Clear by disconnecting the power supply at the PC
board and reconnecting, or press NEXT and REGEN
simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Changes variable are displayed.
Key sequence to lock and
unlock program settings.
Holding for 3 seconds initiates a control
reset. The software version is displayed
and the piston returns to the home/service position,
resynchronizing the valve.
Used with valve type 1.0
, holding for
at least 3 seconds causes a switch in
the tank in Service without cycling the
regeneration valve. After tank switch, days remaining and
capacity remaining status is retained for each tank until
the next regeneration.
Button Operation and Function
Scrolls to the next display.
Pressing once and releasing will schedule
a regeneration at the preset delayed
regeneration time.
Pressing again and releasing will cancel the regeneration.
Pressing and holding for 3 seconds will initiate an
immediate regeneration.
Pressing while in regeneration will advance to the
next cycle.
Pressing in the program levels will go backwards to
the previous screen.
Manual Regeneration
Normally, you don’t need to perform regeneration after installation, please follow the two steps below in case manual
regeneration is needed.
1. Pressing and releasing the REGEN button. “ REGEN TODAY” will flash on the display and the regeneration
will occur at the delayed regeneration time. The user can cancel the request by pressing and releasing the
REGEN button.
2. Pressing & holding the REGEN button for approximately 3 seconds will immediately start the regeneration. The
user cannot cancel this request, except by resetting the control by pressing NEXT and REGEN simultaneously
for 3 seconds.
In Alternator Systems when a
unit is waiting to initiate the
first cycle step of regeneration,
“REGEN Pndg” is displayed.
“STbY” is displayed in Alterna-
tor Systems when a valve is in
Standby state.
“REGEN Pndg RINSE FILL” is
displayed whenever a zero-
capacity tank has transferred
to an off-line state and is currently waiting to initiate
the second portion of a regeneration cycle. Viewed
only when Delayed Rinse and Fill is set to ON.
