Setting Options Table
The control valve with a water meter can be set for
• Demand Initiated Regeneration (DIR) only
• Time Clock operation only
• DIR and Time Clock, whichever occurs rst, depending upon what settings are selected for Day Override and Gallon
Capacity
If a control valve does not contain a meter, the valve can only act as a time clock, and day override should be set to any
number and gallon capacity should be set to off.
The user can initiate manual regeneration. The user has the option to request the manual regeneration at the delayed
regeneration time or to have the regeneration occur immediately:
1. Press and release REGEN. “Regen Today” will ash on the display and the regeneration will occur at the delayed re
generation time. The user can cancel the request by pressing and releasing REGEN. NOTE: This method of manually
initiating regeneration is NOT allowed when the Regeneration Type is set to On 0.º
2. Press and hold REGEN for approximately 3 seconds to immediately start the regeneration. The user cannot cancel this
request, except by resetting the control by pressing NEXT and REGEN simultaneously for 3 seconds.
The control valve may be stepped through the regeneration cycles by pressing REGEN.

OEM General Instructions
The control valve offers multiple procedures that allow the valve to be modied to suit the needs of the installation. These
procedures are:
OEM Softener Setup
OEM Filter Setup
Installer Displays & Settings
Service Alarm Setup
User Displays & Settings
Diagnostics
Valve History
These procedures can be accessed in any order. Details on each of the procedures are provided on the following pages.
At the discretion of the manufacturer, the eld technician can access all settings. To “lock out” access to diagnostic and valve
history displays and modications 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, gallons remaining or days remaining before regeneration are
shown. When stepping through a procedure, if no buttons are pressed within ve minutes the display returns to a normal user
display. Any changes made prior to the ve 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 information in Diagnostics may be reset to zero when the valve is moved to a new location. To reset to zero,
press NEXT and ▼simultaneously to go to the Service/OEM 1 screen, and release. Press ▲and ▼simultaneously to reset
diagnostic values to zero. Screen will return to User Display.

STEP 1S – Press NEXT and ▼simultaneously for 3 seconds. If screen in step 2S 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.
STEP 2S – Select Valve Type. Use ▲or ▼ to select between 1.0 and 1.25. Press NEXT
to go to Step 3S. Press REGEN to exit OEM Softener System Setup.
STEP 2S
STEP 3S – Choose Softening using ▲or ▼. Press NEXT to go to Step 4S. Press
REGEN to exit OEM Softener System Setup.
STEP 3S
STEP 4S – Enter the ion exchange capacity in grains of hardness as calcium carbonate
for the system based on test data using ▲or ▼. Press NEXT to go to Step 5S. Press
REGEN to return to previous step.
STEP 5S – Enter the pounds of salt per regeneration using ▲or ▼. Press NEXT to go
to Step 6S. Press REGEN to return to previous step.
STEP 4S
STEP 6S – Backwash: Select “NORMAL” or “LONGER” using ▲or ▼. Press NEXT
to go to Step 7S. Press REGEN to return to previous step.
STEP 6S
STEP 7S – Set Gallons Capacity using ▲or ▼:
• “AUTO” (reserve capacity automatically estimated and gallons capacity
automatically calculated from grains capacity and water hardness);
• “oFF” (regeneration based on day override); or
• number of gallons (20 to 50,000).
See Setting Options Table for more detail. Press NEXT to go to Step 8S. Press REGEN
to return to previous step.
