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:
• SYSTEM SETUP
• INSTALLER SETTINGS
These procedures can be accessed in any order. Details on each of the procedures are provided on the
following pages.
When in operation, NORMAL OPERATING DISPLAYS show the time of day or days remaining before
regeneration. 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 SYSTEM SETUP or INSTALLER SETTINGS simultaneously press SET HOUR + DOWN. Any
changes made prior to the exit are incorporated.
To reinitialize the control valve (usually needed after disassembly), check to be sure the valve is in the NORMAL
OPERATING DISPLAYS. Then simultaneously press SET HOUR + DOWN or unplug power source plug (black
wire) on the circuit board, and plug back in. When stepping through the displays, 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 SOFTENER SETUP or INSTALLER SETTINGS, press SET HOUR and
DOWN.
Any changes made prior to the exit are incorporated.

water is added to the solution tank. With salt (sodium or potassium chloride) this
equates to approximately 11/2 pounds of salt per minute of fill.

STEP 4SS — Use UP or DOWN buttons to switch
between:
• 1-99 Days, or
• 7-Days Between Regenerations

STEP 5SS — Use UP or DOWN buttons to switch
between 60 Hz or 50 Hz option. Supply your own
transformer if using 50 Hz option.
Press SET HOUR button to go to Step 6SS.
STEP 6SS — If a differential pressure switch is
installed and actuated:
• a regeneration will occur immediately if no arrow
points at Regen Hour; or
• a regeneration will occur at the delayed
regeneration hour if an arrow points at Regen Hour.
Use UP or DOWN buttons to switch between the
two choices. If a differential switch is not installed
the settings in this display are ignored. Press SET
HOUR to exit SYSTEM SETUP.
NOTE: The two terminals at “A”, if connected to an external pressure differential switch or other “dry” contact
switch which closes for five minutes, can be used to initiate an immediate backwash or a backwash scheduled for
the next regeneration time. The choice is determined in Step 6SS above. If no connection is made at “A” it
doesn’t matter what setting is made in 6SS. The backwash will occur according to the days between
regenerations and the time of regeneration settings.

SETTING THE TIME OF DAY

STEP 1U – Press SET HOUR
STEP 2U – Current time: Set the clock to the closest hour by using the UP and
DOWN button. An arrow points to PM after 12. After a power outage, the time of
day will need to be reset. Press SET HOUR to exit.
NORMAL OPERATING DISPLAYS
When the system is operating one of two displays will be shown. Pressing UP or
DOWN buttons will alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the
current time of day (to the nearest hour). The second display is the days remaining
until the next regeneration. If the days remaining is equal to one, a regeneration will
occur at the next preset regeneration time. The user can scroll between displays as
desired. If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the preset time
of regeneration, the arrow will point to Regen.
Regeneration Mode
Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage...usually
overnight. 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 indicate the cycle
of the regeneration that is occurring and an arrow will also point to Regen. The
system will run through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide treated
water when the regeneration is completed.
Manual Regeneration
Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than when the system
calls for it.... usually referred to as a manual regeneration.
To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time,
simultaneously press the UP + DOWN buttons together and release. The arrow will
point to the word Regen if a regeneration is expected “tonight.” To cancel the
regeneration simultaneously press the UP + DOWN buttons and release.
To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, simultaneously press the UP +
DOWN buttons together for three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate
immediately. This cannot be cancelled. Note: For softeners, if brine tank does not
contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating.
Power Loss & Error Messages
If the power goes out current time of day will need to be reset. If the power goes out
while the system is regenerating, the cycle picks up where it was interrupted when
the power returns.
Note: The display will flash if a power outage has occurred.
If “E1,” “E2” or “E3” appears on the display contact a technical service person for
help. These indicate that the valve did not function properly.

START UP INSTRUCTIONS
• After installation is completed and checked for leaks, rotate the bypass handles to the bypass position
(see Figure 2, Bypass Valve diagram page in main manual).
• Fully open a cold water faucet.
• Allow water to run until clear to rid pipes of debris, which may have occurred during installation.
• The system is now ready for testing:
1. For all units...With the bypass valve still in the bypass mode.
If starting up a softener or a regenerating filter, manually pour enough water into the regenerant
tank to reach the top of the air check valve.
2. Press and hold the UP and DOWN buttons simultaneously for three seconds until the drive
motor starts. Wait until the motor stops and the display reads “C1”, 1st backwash position.
3. Open the inlet handle of the bypass valve very slightly allowing water to fill the tank slowly in
order to expel air. Go to 4a or 4b.
CAUTION: If water flows too rapidly, there will be a loss of media to the drain.
4a. For softeners and regenerating filters only, Programs PO-P6...
• When the water is flowing steadily to the drain without the presence of air, press the UP
button. This will advance the valve to the regenerant draw position, C2.
• Fully open the inlet bypass valve handle (the diagnostic mode, Figure 3.)
Check to verify that regenerant solution is being drawn from the regenerant tank with no air
bubbles.
There should be a slow flow to the drain.
Allow three minutes for the media bed to settle. Go to 4b.
4b. For all units including backwashing filters and acid neutralizers, Programs P7-P9...
• Press the UP button again until the control valve displays cycle C4, final rinse. Depending on
the program used C3, 2nd backwash, may appear before C4 is displayed. Allow water to run to
the drain for 2-3 minutes or until clear. At this point the control may be allowed to automatically
time out and return to service or SET HOUR + DOWN can be pressed to exit program.
5. For softeners and regenerating filters only, Programs PO-P6...
• Press the UP button to advance the control to where the display reads C5. This will allow
water to refill the regenerant tank and prepare it for the next regeneration. Allow this to time out
automatically and return to service.
• While the regenerant tank is filling, load it with salt or regenerant chemical, if appropriate.
