OEM General Instructions
The control valve offers multiple procedures that allow the valve to be modified to suit the needs of the installation. These
procedures are:
• OEM Cycle Sequence
• OEM Softener System Setup
• OEM Filter System Setup
• Installer Display Settings
• User Display Settings
• Diagnostics
• Valve History
Once the OEM Cycle Sequence has been set, the other procedures can be accessed in any order. Details on each of the procedures
are provided on the following pages.
To “lock out” access to diagnostic and valve history displays and modifications to settings except hardness, day override, time of
regeneration and time of day by anyone but the manufacturer, press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and SET CLOCK in sequence after settings
are made. To “unlock”, so other displays can be viewed and changes can be made, press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and SET CLOCK in
sequence.
When in operation normal user displays such as time of day, volume remaining before regeneration, present flow rate or days
remaining before regeneration are shown. When stepping through a procedure, if no buttons are pressed within five minutes, the
display returns to a normal user display. Any changes made prior to the five minute time out are incorporated.
To quickly exit OEM Softener Setup, OEM Filter Setup, Installer Display Settings, Diagnostics or Valve History press SET
CLOCK. Any changes made prior to the exit are incorporated.
When desired, all programming and all information in Diagnostics may be reset to defaults when the valve is installed in a
new location. To reset to defaults, press NEXT and ▼simultaneously to go to the Softening/Filtering screen. Press ▲and
▼simultaneously to reset diagnostic values and all programming to defaults. Screen will return to User Display.
Sometimes it is desirable to have the valve initiate and complete two regenerations within 24 hours and then return to the preset
regeneration procedure. It is possible to do a double regeneration if the control valve is set to “NORMAL” or “NORMAL + on 0”
in OEM Softener System Setup or OEM Filter System Setup. To do a double regeneration:
1. Press the REGEN button once. REGEN TODAY will flash on the display.
2. Press and hold the REGEN button for three seconds until the valve regeneration initiates.
Once the valve has completed the immediate regeneration, the valve will regenerate one more time at the preset regeneration time.
For Valve Type 1.0 , press and hold SET CLOCK and ▲for about 3 seconds to initiate an exchange of the tank in Service with-
out cycling the regeneration valve. After tank switch, days remaining and capacity remaining status is retained for each tank until
the next regeneration.
Prior to selecting the upflow regeneration cycle, verify that the correct body, main piston, regenerant piston and stack are being
used, and that the injector plug(s) are in the correct location. Refer to the Service Manual for drawings and part numbers.

Page 6 CI Manual
OEM Cycle Sequence
OEM Cycle Sequence instructions allows the OEM to set the order of
the cycle. The OEM Softener System Setup or the OEM Filter System
Setup allow the OEM to set how long cycles will last. The OEM may
choose up to 9 cycles in any order.
END must be used as the last cycle option. The SERVICE cycle
should only be used in brine prefill applications.
The following is an example of how to set a valve so that when regeneration is initiated BACKWASH occurs first, dn BRINE
occurs second, RINSE occurs third, and FILL occurs fourth.
STEP 1CS Step 1CS – Press NEXT and ▼simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. Then press NEXT and ▼
simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. If screen in Step 2CS does not appear in 5 seconds the lock
on the valve is activated. To unlock press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and SET CLOCK in sequence, then press
NEXT and ▼simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. Then press NEXT and ▼simultaneously for
3 seconds and release.
Step 2CS – Use ▲ or ▼ to select 1.0 for WS1 valve, 1.25 for WS1.25 valve, 1.5 for WS1.5 valve, 2.0
for WS2 or 1.0 for a twin valve.
STEP 2CS
Step 3CS – When 1.5 or 2.0 is selected, an additional screen will appear.
It is used to select which size flow meter is to be used with the valve, 1.5”,
2.0” or 3.0”. Variable meter pulses of 0.1-150.0 PPL can also be selected.
Press NEXT to go to Step 4CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Step 4CS – Allows selection of one of the following using ▲ or ▼:
• the Control Valve to have no hard water bypass;
• the Control Valve to act as an alternator; or
• the Control Valve to have a separate source during the regeneration cycle; or
• the Control Valve to operate with the Clack System Controller.
Select OFF when none of these features are used.
This display will not appear if 1.0 was selected in Step 2CS.
Only use Clack No Hard Water Bypass Valves or Clack Motorized Alternating Valves (MAV) with
these selections. Clack No Hard Water Bypass Valves (1” or 1.25” V3070FF or V3070FM) are not
designed to be used with the alternator or separate source functions.
STEP 4CS
Selecting the Control Valve to act as an alternator:
Software Rev Level 320.0 and higher = Use 3-wire Interconnect Cable for all communication between units.
Software Rev Level 319.5 and lower = Use 2-wire Interconnect Cables for twin alternators with independent flow meters.
Prior to starting the programming steps, connect the interconnect cable to each control valve board’s three pin connector labeled ‘COMM
CABLE’. Also connect the meter cord to either control valve to the three pin connector labeled ‘METER’.

Configuring the Control Valve for No Hard Water Bypass Operation:
Select nHbP for control operation. For no hard water bypass operation the three wire communication
connector is not used.
Selection requires that a connection to MAV or a Clack No Hard Water Bypass Valve is made to the
two pin connector labeled MAV located on the printed circuit board. If using a MAV, the A port of the
MAV must be plugged and the valve outlet connected to the B port. When set to nHbP the MAV will
be driven closed before the first regeneration cycle that is not FILL or SOFTENING or FILTERING,
and be driven open after the last regeneration cycle that is not FILL.
NOTE: If the control valve enters into an error state during regeneration mode, the no hard water
bypass valve will remain in its current state until the error is corrected and reset.
Configuring the Control Valve for Separate Source Operation:
Select SEPS for control operation. For separate source operation the three wire communication
connector is not used.
Selection requires that a connection to a Clack Motorized Alternator Valve (MAV) is made to the
two pin connector labeled MAV located on the printed circuit board. The C port of the MAV must be
connected to the valve inlet and the A port connected to the separate source used during regeneration.
The B port must be connected to the feed water supply.
When set to SEPS the MAV will be driven closed before the first regeneration cycle, and be driven
open after the last regeneration cycle.
NOTE: If the control valve enters into an error state during regeneration mode, the MAV will remain
in its current state until the error is corrected and reset.

Page 8 CI Manual
If set up for a filter, in Step 7F set Volume Capacity in M3; in Step 8F select Regeneration Time Option “on 0”; and in Step 4I
select Day Override “oFF”.
NOTE: If the control valve is in an error state during regeneration mode the MAV will close the B port and keep open the A port
until the error is corrected and reset.
WS1, WS1.25
and WS1.5 Valves
WS2
Valve
For Clack Corporation alternator systems using WS1, WS1.25 and
WS1.5 valves there will be an option to delay the last two cycles
of regeneration (only “Rinse” and “Fill”). This feature
splits the regeneration into two portions. The first portion of the
regeneration will start immediately and all programmed cycles
before the “Rinse” and “Fill” cycles will be performed. After
all programmed cycles before “Rinse” and “Fill” are completed
the control valve will drive to the service position (displaying
“Delayed Rinse + Fill Pending”). When the volume of the on-
line unit is depleted to 10% of its programmed capacity, the
control valve will be triggered to finish the second portion of the
regeneration. Once “Rinse” and “Fill” are completed, the valve
will re-enter Standby mode until requested to come on-line for
Service.
For Clack Corporation alternator systems using the WS2 valve,
when NEXT is pressed after selecting ALT A or ALT b, a display
will allow the user to set the amount of pre-service rinse time for
the stand by tank just prior to returning to service. With 1.0 set,
this same display appears and is set in a similar manner.

Note: Clack Twin Alternator Operations
• Twin alternating systems can be programmed with a day override setting combined with the normal volume-based
regeneration programming. A twin alternating system in this configuration will then regenerate based on the volume used or
the day override if there is a period of low water usage.
• Twin alternating systems can be programmed as a time clock only based regenerating system. In this configuration, the days
remaining are counted only on the unit that is in service. The unit in Stand-by Mode only notes days in diagnostics, which
results in time clock only twin regeneration initiation.
• Twin alternating systems can be programmed for a delayed regeneration time. The system will allow an immediate transfer
of the MAV to switch tanks and place a fully regenerated unit in service once a unit becomes exhausted. The exhausted unit
will then be placed into Stand-by Mode and allowed to have a delayed regeneration at the pre-set time.

CI Manual Page 9
STEP 5CS Step 5CS – Allows selection of one of the following using ▲ or ▼:
• an outside signal to initiate a regeneration;
• an outside signal to prevent or delay regeneration.
Selection only matters if a connection is made to the two pin connector labeled DP SWITCH located on
the printed circuit board. Following is an explanation of the options:
OFF - Feature not used.
NOTE: In a twin alternating system each control must have a separate dP signal or dP switch.
One dP signal or one dP switch cannot be used for both controls.
dPon0 – If the dP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 minutes a regeneration will be
signaled to the unit. In a twin alternating system the MAV will transition first to switch units so that
the signaled unit can start regeneration. After the MAV has fully transitioned, the regeneration begins
immediately. Note: For WS1 – WS1.5 control valves programmed for twin alternating: if the dP
function “dPon0” is set, the Delayed Rinse and Fill feature is not available.
dPdEL – If the dP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 minutes a regeneration will occur at
the scheduled delayed regeneration time. In a twin alternating system, once the dP switch is triggered
the PC board will display REGEN TODAY and switch tanks immediately. At the Delayed Regeneration
Time, the triggered unit will then regenerate. Note: For WS1 – WS1.5 control valves programmed for
twin alternating: if the dP function “dPdEL” is set, the Delayed Rinse and Fill feature is not available.
HoLd – If the dP switch is closed a regeneration will be prevented from occurring while there is switch
closure. In a twin alternating system the regeneration of a unit can be prevented upon switch closure. If
the unit depletes the capacity down to zero, it will not be allowed to switch tanks to regenerate until the
switch is open. Note: For WS1 – WS1.5 control valves programmed for twin alternating the Delayed
Rinse and Fill feature can be set in conjunction with the “HoLd” if desired.

General Operation
When the system is operating, one of five displays may be
shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate between the displays. One
of the displays is always the current time of day. The second
display is one of the following: days remaining or volume
remaining. Days remaining is the number of days left before the
system goes through a regeneration cycle. Capacity remaining
is the cubic meters that will be treated before the system goes
through a regeneration cycle. The third display shows the current
treated water flow rate through the system. If 1.0 is selected
in Step 2CS, an “A” in front of the flow rate indicates that the
tank with the control valve on it is in service. If “b” is displayed,
the tank with the in/out head is in service. The fourth display
will show either dP or hold if the dP switch is closed. The fifth
display shows the kg of salt remaining or flashes “SALT” fill
when the calculated kg of salt falls below a safety level. The fifth
display will not appear if the valve is a WS2, set up as a filter or
if the Set Low Salt Warning is set to off (see last step in OEM
Softener System Setup). The user can scroll between the displays
as desired.
If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the
preset time of regeneration, the words REGEN TODAY will
appear on the display.
If a water meter is installed, the word “Softening” or “Filtering”
flashes on the display when water is being treated (i.e. water is
flowing through the system).
or
REGEN TODAY will
Flash if a regeneration
is expected “Tonight.”
In Alternator Systems when a unit is waiting to initiate the first cycle step of regeneration,
“REGEN Pndg” is displayed.
“STbY” is displayed in Alternator Systems when a valve is in Standby state.
“REGEN Pndg FILL RINSE” 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.

Set Time of Day
The user can also set the time of day. Time of day should only need to be set after power outages lasting more than 24 hours, if
the battery has been depleted and a power outage occurs or when daylight saving time begins or ends. If a power outage lasting
more than 24 hours occurs, the time of day will flash on and off which indicates the time of day should be reset. If a power outage
lasts less then 24 hours and the time of day flashes on and off, the time of day should be reset and the non rechargeable battery
replaced.
STEP 1U – Press SET CLOCK.
STEP 2U - Current Time (hour): Set the hour of the day using ▲or ▼. Press NEXT to go to
Step 3U.
STEP 3U - Current Time (minutes): Set the minutes of the day using ▲or ▼. Press NEXT to exit
Set Clock. Press REGEN to return to previous step.
Regeneration Mode
Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. An example of a time with
low water usage is when a household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the system is
regenerating, untreated water will be used.
When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to include information about the step of the regeneration process
and the time remaining for that step to be completed. The system runs through the steps automatically and will reset itself to
provide treated water when the regeneration has been completed.
Manual Regeneration
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than when the
system calls for it, usually referred to as manual regeneration. There may
be a period of heavy water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day.
To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration
time, when the regeneration time option is set to “NORMAL” or “NORMAL + on 0”, press and release “REGEN”. The words
“REGEN TODAY” will flash on the display to indicate that the system will regenerate at the preset delayed regeneration time. If
you pressed the “REGEN” button in error, pressing the button again will cancel the request. Note: If the regeneration time option
is set to “on 0” there is no set delayed regeneration time so “REGEN TODAY” will not activate if “REGEN” button is pressed.
To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the “REGEN” button for three seconds. The system will begin to
regenerate immediately. The request cannot be cancelled.
Note: For softeners, if brine tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating.
REGEN TODAY will be
displayed if a regeneration
is expected “Tonight.”
