Final Set-Up
Final Set-Up
With Proper Valve Operation Verified:
1. Add water to the top of the air check. Manually step the valve to the
Brine Draw Position and allow the valve to draw water from the brine tank
until it stops. Note: The air check will check at approximately the mid
point of the screened intake area.
2. Next, manually step the valve to the Brine Refill Position and allow the
valve to return to Service automatically.
3. With the valve in Service, check that there is about 3.0” to 5.0” of water
above the grid in the brine tank, if used.
4. Fill the brine tank with salt.
5. Set-Up is now finished, the control can now be left to run automatically.
There are five (5) error codes that could indicate a possible problem with the control valve:
Error 2 - Homing slot expected. Valve will start looking for home.
(Normal operation continues)
Error 3 -Encoder is not sending a signal
(Valve requires service to continue)
Error 4 - Unable to find homing slot
(Valve requires service to continue)
Error 5 - Motor overload (stalled position or shorted motor)
(Valve requires service to continue)
-New Signature program is identified by "r2.1" in presentation upon power up.

Master Programming Mode
Entering Master Programming Mode
-To Enter Master Programming Mode Press and Hold both buttons for 5 seconds.
Note: All Master Programming functions have been preset at the factory. Unless a
change is desired it is NOT neccessary to enter the Master Programming Mode.
1. Regeneration Type (t)
This Display is used to set the Regeneration Type. This option setting is
identified by the letter ‘t’ in the left digit. There are 2 possible settings:
Timeclock Filter Delayed. The control will determine that regeneration is required
when the set Regeneration Time has been reached. The Regeneration Frequency
setting will determine which days a regeneration cycle will be initiated.
Example: [ t - - c ]
Meter Delayed (Demand) The control will determine that a regeneration is
required when the available volume of softened water drops to or below zero.
Regeneration is to begin immediately at the set Regeneration Time.
Example: [ t - - d ]
The Set/Change Button will adjust this value.
To Accept the Digit Value Press the Menu/Enter Button
2. Regeneration Day Override (A) - Meter Mode Only
Press Menu/Enter Button. This display is used to set the maximum amount of time
(in days) the unit can be in service without a regeneration. This option setting is
identified by the letter ‘A’ in the left digit. This option will be in the Master Programming
Menu only in the Meter Mode. Regeneration will begin at the set Regeneration Time. A
0 setting will cancel this feature. The Max Value for this item is 29.
Example: Override every 7 days - [ A - 07 ] (Factory Setting)
Cancel setting - [ A - 00 ]
To Adjust this Value Press the Set/Change Button.
To Accept the Digit Value Press the Menu/Enter Button.
3. Regeneration Time (r)
Press the Menu/Enter Button. The next display viewed is the option setting for
Regeneration Time. It is identified by the letter ‘r’ in the left digit. Set the desired time
of day that a regeneration may occur, if required. The first digit(s) indicates the Hour
and the other digit indicates A.M. or P.M..
Example: 2 A.M. regeneration time - [ r 2A ] (Factory Setting for Softeners)
12 A.M. backwash time - [ r12A ] (Factory Setting for Filters/Reactrs)
To Adjust this Value Press the Set/Change Button.
To Accept the Digit Value Press the Menu/Enter Button.

4. Regeneration Cycle Step Programming (1)(2)(3)(4)
Press the Menu/Enter Button. The next 4 displays viewed are part of a series of
option settings used to program the Regeneration Cycle. Up to 4 steps can be
programmed. Each display is used to set the duration time in minutes for that specific
step in a regeneration cycle. A step # will turn on for the regeneration cycle step being
programmed. Regeneration steps are skipped by setting the display to 0 as shown
below:
Examples: Regeneration Cycle Step #1 - 10 minutes - [ 1 - 10 ] (Factory Setting)
Regeneration Cycle Step #2 - skipped - [ 2 - - 0 ]
Desired lbs. salt ÷ 3 ÷ (Brine Line Flow Control) size (gpm) = refill time in minutes
12 lbs. salt ÷ 3 ÷ .50 = 8 minute refill
* All units are preprogrammed for full salting at factory
Softener Capacity Softener Capacity
24K, 32K, 48K, 64K (.50 gpm BLFC) 90K, 96K, 120K (1.0 gpm BLFC)
Desired Brine Refill Time Desired Brine Refill Time
Salting (lbs.) (minutes) Salting (lbs.) (minutes)
9 lbs. 6 minutes 15 lbs. 5 minutes
12 lbs. 8 minutes 24 lbs. 8 minutes
15 lbs. 10 minutes 30 lbs. 10 minutes
24 lbs. 16 minutes 45 lbs. 15 minutes
30 lbs. 20 minutes 60 lbs. 20 minutes
5. System Capacity in Grains (c) - Meter Mode Only
Press the Menu/Enter Button. This display is used to set the system capacity in grains
and is used in conjunction with the hardness setting to calculate total gallons of treated
water available between regenerations. This option is identified by the letter ‘c’ in the left
digit. This option will only be available when Meter Delay is selected in Step 1. The
maximum value for this item is 399.
Example: 32,000 grain capacity [ c 0 3 2 ]
Exiting the Master Programming Mode
Press the Menu/Enter Button until all steps have been viewed. The Program Mode will
be exited and normal operation resumed. If no buttons are pressed for 60 seconds or
longer in Master Programming Mode it will be exited automatically.

Water Conditioner Flow Diagrams
1.) SERVICE POSITION
Hard water enters unit at valve inlet and flows around the piston down thru the mineral in the mineral
tank. Conditioned water enters center tube thru the bottom distributor then flows up thru the center
tube and to the outlet of the valve.
2.) BACKWASH POSITION
Hard water enters unit at valve inlet - flows around piston - down center tube - thru bottom distibutor
and up thru the mineral - around the piston and out the drain line.
