Check List forOptimal Filter Performance
[] There should be no back-pressure on the flush line. A 1” valve should
have a 2” waste line, and 2” valve should have a 3” waste line. Do not use
rubber hosing or flexible tubing for the waste line.
[] Thedifferential pressure gauge should be mounted within 3 feet of the
filter. Long tubing lines will resultin faulty gauge readings.
[] The water supply line to the piston should be connected to the neck of the
flush outlet and filtered bya ¼”mini filter.
[] The fitting on thesideofall pistons is for venting only. It should be open
to atmospheric pressure and pointing toward the ground.
[] Sealant should be applied on the contact points on the backside of the d/p
gauge to protect itfrom water. The d/p gauge shouldbe mounted up-side
down to prevent shorting of the contact points in the event of a water leak.
[] If the filter outlet discharges to a tank, or to open atmosphere, a valve
should be installed at the filter outlet to maintain aminimumworking
pressure of 40 PSI during the cleaning cycle.
[] If the flush valvefails to open or close, verify the connections to the
controller are wired correctly (see diagram on pg. 6-9).
[] Asurge protector should be installed before the electronic controller

SECTION I Introduction
Automatic Filters, Inc. features state of the art electronic backwash controllers in the GB
series. GB6 and GB7 controllers are complete with a differential pressure sensor, a
backwash counter, and an emergency alarm output. The GB6 controller backwashes a
single filter, while GB7 controllers control up to two filters simultaneously. Both models
will initiate a backwash cycle in three ways: when the differential pressure gauge is
triggered, periodically by timer, or when manually activated. They are available in
115/230 volts or battery operated at 9/12 volts.
SECTION II Installation
GB6 and GB7 The controllers come factory-prepared and are ready to use. The only steps
necessary for installation are:
1. Mounting the controller
2. Connecting the tubing and wires of the PD gauge
3. Connecting the power supply (AC models)
4. Connecting the wires of the electric ball valve
Mount the electric controller on a convenient wall or panel as close as possible to the
filter to minimize the length of the pressure tubing. The controller can also be mounted
directly on the filter itself with brackets. The pressure differential (PD) gauge/switch is
to be installed on the bottom of the controller housing. The ¼” tubing from the high
pressure connection (red) on the center of the PD gauge goes to the high pressure side of
the filter or manifold (inlet). The lowpressure connection (blue) of the PDgoesto the
low pressure side of the filter or manifold (outlet). If desired, the gauge may be removed
from the housing and mounted at a suitable location on or near the filter.
For 110/230 Volt AC models, connect 120 VAC or 230 VAC, depending on the primary
voltage in your area, to the transformer wires. The 24 VAC leads are to be connected to
the terminal strip.
SECTION III Electric Ball Valve
The 24VAC stainless steel electric ball valve should be wired to the controller terminals
in the following manner:

SECTION IV Front Panel Controls & Settings
4.1 Periodic Flush
A periodic flush will occur at the elapsed time set on the PERIODIC dial, provided a
normal PD flush or manual flush has not occurred during that time cycle. The periodic
switch resets after each backwash. For example, if the switch is set for one hour and a PD
flush occurs at 49 minutes, the periodic flush will not start a cycle 11 minutes later. It will
reset for 1 hour later. Settings range from OFF to 24 hours.
4.2 Flush Time
The duration of the filter backwash should be set in a range of 4 to 12 seconds.
4.3 Dwell Time
The GB6 controller can control 1 filter, while the GB7 models can control up to 2 filters.
The controller flushes each filter in sequence, starting with filter #1. The dwell dial sets
the time between successive filter flushes. It allows the 1st filter’s rinse valves to close
completely before the 2nd filter starts to flush, and so on. If only one filter is being
controlled, this switch is not used. Recommended dwell time is 10 seconds.
4.4 Power On/Off Switch
The power on/off switch controls power to the controller and to all filter components.
Make sure that this switch is in the OFF position when the system is not in use or work is
being performed on the electrical system.
4.5 LCD Screen
The LCD screen displays the backwash counter. Also, when the output fuse has blown,
the display indicates “FUSE,” and the PD and DWELL lights will flash alternately until
the fuse is replaced.
4.6 Manual Start Button
The manual start button activates back flushing of the filter(s).
4.7 Counter Reset Button
The counter reset button resets the back flush counter.
4.8 Alarm Reset
An alarm output is activated whenever the controller initiates three or more consecutive
backwashes by pressure differential signal in less than 2 minutes. This alarm has both a
visible light and an electrical output capable of activating a relay which can, in turn,
operate a lamp or a bell. The alarm can be reset with the push button on the panel.

SECTION V Behind-the-Panel Controls
5.1 AC/DC Voltage
Tekleen controllers operate at 120 VAC at 60 Hz. and 230 VAC at 50 Hz. Battery
operated controllers will operate with 12 VDC or 9 VDC.
5.2 Circuit Board Fuse
The fuse for the electronics is located between the front panel and circuit board. To
replace, remove the front panel and replace with a 3 amp fuse. DO NOT replace with
higher amp fuse.
SECTION VI Terminal Strip Connections
6.1 Transformer “RWR”
These transformers are three terminals which connect to the power supply from the
transformer -- two red leads and one white lead. The white lead should be connected in
the middle terminal. This will be pre-installed by the manufacturer. R1 + R2 = 24VAC
R1 + W = 12VAC R2 + W = 12VAC
6.2 Flush Terminal 1
This terminal controls the valve assigned as valve #1. See the wiring diagram for
connections.
6.3 Flush Terminal 2
This terminal controls the valve assigned as valve #2. See the wiring diagram for
connections.
6.4 Master Valve “M”
The master valve output is marked with an M on the terminal block. This output is ON at
the start of each backwash cycle and goes OFF when the controller returns to IDLE. The
master valve output is only used when the filter system requires the optional pressure
sustaining valve at the down stream of the filter. The filter needs to maintain inlet
pressure greater than 35 PSI (2.5 BAR) during rinsing.
6.5 Alarm Output “A”
These are terminals for the alarm output. The GB6/7 are available in two pre-set logic
versions. The first does not disable the operation of the filter. This type is supplied. The
second version does disable the operation of the filter by cutting out power to the
valve(s). Reactivation of the controller is by “alarm reset.”

6.6 PD Gauge “PD”
These are terminals for the PD gauge. Polarity is not important. They are installed by
either the manufacturer or by the customer. Please make sure to install the DP gauge
upside down. This will eliminate any future shorts if the high or low pressure tubing
leaks. You may cover the contact points with silicone or any water sealant to prevent
shorting.
SECTION VII GENERAL NOTES
7.1 1st Filter Actuation
A built-in time delay of 30 seconds, before the first backwash, is activated as soon as a
signal to flush (from the PD gauge) enters the controller. The purpose of this delay is to
eliminate any water pressure spikes or false pressure surges from actuating a rinse.
7.2 Cautions
1. DO NOT exceed output ratings of controller (3 amps).
2. Make sure output voltage is correctly set for 24 VAC or 12 VDC.
3. When using a 12 VDC power source, use only the first two terminals on the terminal
block. The third terminal is not used for DC input.
4. DO NOT connect 230 VAC to a 115 VAC transformer.
7.3 Common Sense
1. You may install the controller far away from the filter, provided that the DP switch is
at the filter.
2. A surge protector is needed to protect the controller from voltage spikes. Surge
protectors can be purchased at any electrical supplies store.
3. It is always advisable to check and clean the mini-filter, which is located on the tubing
line, between the flush outlet and the piston.
