Timer Start-Up Procedures (Cont’d.)
1. During cold weather it is recommended that the installer warm the timer up to room temperature before operating.
2. Once the timer has reached Service normal operation is resumed. In Normal Operation the Time Of Day and, if
flow meter equipped, the Volume Remaining Displays will alternate being viewed. Set the Time Of Day Display by
depressing the Up or Down Set Button to the correct time. (See above figure.)
3. Flow Meter Equipped Timer Only: The Volume Remaining Display is the volume of water (in gallons) remaining
prior to regeneration, including any reserve capacity. Without any water usage the Meter Arrow should be either off
or on but not changing. Open a soft water tap. The Meter Arrow should begin flashing at a rate that varies with flow
rate. Close the tap after 3 - 5 gallons of water flow.

4. Manually initiate a regeneration cycle and allow water to run to drain for 3 to 4 minutes. Next, manually step the
valve through a regeneration cycle checking valve operation in each step.
A. Initiating Regeneration (Depending on the timer regeneration type you have one or two (2) Options):
1. Press and Release the Extra Cycle Button. With Immediate Regeneration Timers the control will go into
Regeneration immediately. With Delayed Regeneration Timers the Service Arrow will begin to flash imme-
diately and a regeneration will occur at the preset regeneration time (i.e. 2:00 a.m.)
2. Press and Hold for 5 seconds the Extra Cycle Button. The control will go into Regeneration immedi-
ately.
B. Control Operation
1. During Regeneration: During Regeneration the control will display which regeneration step number the
valve is advancing to, or has reached, and the time remaining in that step.
2. When the first cycle step is reached, a red LED will turn on to indicate the current regeneration cycle step.
3. Pushing the Extra Cycle Button during a regeneration step will immediately advance the valve to the next
regeneration step position.
4. Pushing the Up or Down Set Button during a regeneration step will adjust the time remaining in that current
regeneration step. Programmed regeneration step times will not be changed.
5. Once all regeneration cycle steps have been completed the valve will return to Service and resume normal
operation.
5. Manually step the valve to the Brine Draw position (see Step #14) and allow the valve to draw water from the brine
tank until it stops. Note: The air check will check at approximately the midpoint of the screened intake area.
6. Manually step the valve to the Brine Refill position and allow the valve to return to Service automatically.
7. Make sure the brine refill time (salt dosage) is set as recommended by the manufacturer.
8. With the valve in Service, check that there is about 1sof water above the grid in the brine tank, if used.
9. Fill the brine tank with salt.
10. A 9V Alkaline Battery is recommended to be installed at all times for proper valve operation. The control will
indicate when the battery needs to be replaced by turning on the Low Battery LED.

1. Follow the installation procedures contained within the remote meter service manual.
2. The remote meter/timer should be installed with the inlet and outlet and connections (if any) made in accordance
with the manufacturer’s recommendations and to meet all applicable plumbing codes.
3. Follow the installation and start-up procedures contained within each valve(s) service manual.
4. Referencing the wiring diagram furnished with each valve in the system, make the proper electrical connections to
the remote timer. All electrical connections must be made in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations
and to meet all applicable electrical codes.
5. During cold weather it is recommended that the installer warm the remote timer up to room temperature before
energizing.
6. Plug the remote timer into an approved power source. The valve(s) connected to the remote timer may then cycle
themselves back to Service.
WARNING
Backplate must be grounded when voltages greater than
24V are used with remote meter.

3. Manually initiate a regeneration cycle of all valves in the system through the remote timer. Allow water to run to
drain on each valve for 3 to 4 minutes. Manually step each valve through a complete regeneration cycle checking
valve operation in each step.
A. Initiating Regeneration (Depending on the timer regeneration type you have one or two (2) Options):
1. Press and Release the Extra Cycle Button. With Immediate Regeneration Timers the control will go into
regeneration immediately. With Delayed Regeneration Timers the Service Arrow will begin to flash immedi-
ately and a regeneration will occur at the preset regeneration time (i.e. 2:00 a.m.)
2. Press and Hold for 5 seconds the Extra Cycle Button. The control will go into regeneration immediately.
Delayed Regeneration Timers Only)
B. Control Operation While Sending A Regeneration Signal:
1. When sending a regeneration signal the control will display the remaining signal time.
2. A red LED will also turn on to indicate that a regeneration signal is being sent.
3. Pushing the Extra Cycle Button during a regeneration signal will immediately advance the timer back to
Service.
4. Pushing the Up or Down Set Button during a regeneration signal will adjust the signal time remaining. Pro-
grammed signal time will not be changed.
5. Once the Regeneration Signal has been completed the timer will return to service and resume normal
operation.

In Normal Operation the Time Of Day Display will alternate being viewed with the Volume Remaining Display. Water
flow through the unit is indicated by the Meter Arrow that will flash in a direct relationship to flow rate. As treated water
is used, the Volume Remaining Display will count down from a maximum value to the calculated reserve capacity. Once
this occurs, the Reserve Arrow will begin to flash as an indication that reserve capacity is being used. At the preset
Regeneration Time, a regeneration cycle will then be initiated immediately.

Timer/Remote Meter Control Operation (Cont’d.)
Timeclock Regeneration Valves -
In Normal Operation the Time Of Day Display will be viewed at all times. The control will operate normally until the days
since the last regeneration reaches the preset number of days. Once this occurs, a regeneration cycle will then be
initiated immediately at the preset Regeneration Time.
Flow Meter Equipped Immediate Regeneration Valves/Remote Meter Immediate Regeneration Systems -
In Normal Operation the Time Of Day Display will alternate being viewed with the Volume Remaining Display. Water
flow through the unit is indicated by the Meter Arrow that will flash in a direct relationship to flow rate. As treated water
is used, the Volume Remaining Display will count down from a maximum value to zero. Once this occurs a regeneration
cycle will then be initiated immediately.
Sensor Immediate Regeneration Valves -
In Normal Operation the Time Of Day Display will be viewed at all times. The control will operate normally until a valid
sensor input signal is received. Once this occurs, a regeneration cycle will then be initiated immediately. The Sensor
Input Arrow will flash until the signal is determined to be valid.
Sensor Delayed Regeneration Valves -
In Normal Operation the Time Of Day Display will be viewed at all times. The control will operate normally until a valid
sensor input signal is received. Once this occurs, a regeneration cycle will then be initiated immediately at the preset
Regeneration Time. The Sensor Input Arrow will flash until the signal is determined to be valid. Then the Reserve
Arrow will begin to flash as a indication that reserve capacity is being used.
Immediate Regeneration Valves/Meters With Days Between Regeneration Override Set -
When the timer has reached its set Days Since Regeneration Override value a regeneration cycle will be initiated
immediately. This event occurs regardless of the Volume Remaining display having reached zero.
Delayed Regeneration Valves/Meters With Days Between Regeneration Override Set -
When the timer has reached its set Days Since Regeneration Override value a regeneration cycle will be initiated at the
preset Regeneration Time. This event occurs regardless of the Volume Remaining display having reached the
calculated reserve capacity.
