PREINSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR DEALERS: The manufacturer has preset the water treatment unit’s sequence of cycles, cycle times, salt dose, exchange capacity and salt dose refill time. The dealer should read this page and guide the installer regarding hardness, day override, time of regeneration, service alarm and buzzer alarm settings before installation. For the installer, the following must be used: • Program Installer Settings ...
BYPASS VALVE: The bypass valve is typically used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system’s water pressure in order to perform control valve repairs or maintenance. The 1” full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions, including a diagnostic position that allows a service technician to have pressure to test a system while providing untreated bypass water to the building. Be sure to install bypass valve onto main control valve, before beginning plumbing.
INSTALLATION: GENERAL INSTALLATION & SERVICE WARNINGS The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments. There is a small amount of “give” to properly connect the piping, but the water softener is not designed to support the weight of the plumbing. Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black “O” Rings, but is not necessary.
7. INSTALLING GROUND: To maintain an electrical ground in metal plumbing of a home’s cold water piping (such as a copper plumbing system), install a ground clamp or jumper wiring. NOTE: If replacing an existing softener, also replace the ground clamps/wire. If removing a softener, replace the piping with the same type of piping as the original to assure plumbing integrity and grounding. 8. DRAIN LINE: First, be sure that the drain can handle the backwash rate of the system.
PROGRAMMING PROCEDURES: 1. Set time of day: Time of day should only need to be set after extended power outages or when daylight saving time begins or ends. If an extended power outage occurs, the time of day will flash on and off indicating that the time should be reset. STEP 1 – Press CLOCK. STEP 2 – CURRENT TIME (HOUR): Set the hour of the day using + or — buttons. AM/PM toggles after 12. Press NEXT to go to step 3. STEP 3 – CURRENT TIME (MINUTES): Set the minutes using + or — buttons.
STEP 5 – REGENERATION MINUTES: Set the minutes using + or — buttons. Press NEXT to exit installer programming. Press REGEN if you need to return to the previous step. To initiate an immediate manual regeneration, press and hold the REGEN button for three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. The control may be manually stepped through the regeneration cycles by pressing REGEN. STEP 6 – BACKLIGHT DISPLAY CONTROL: Set the display backlight on or off using + or — buttons.
OPERATING DISPLAYS AND INSTRUCTIONS: 1. GENERAL OPERATION: When the system is operating, one of three displays may be shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day. The second display shows the current treated water flow rate through the system in Gallons Per Minute. The third display is one of the following: days remaining or volume remaining. Days remaining is the number of days left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle.
5. ERROR MESSAGE: If the word “ERROR” and a number are alternately flashing on the display record the number and contact the dealer for help. This indicates that the control valve was not able to function properly. ERROR 6. BRINE TANK MAINTENANCE AND SALT: Refill the brine tank as necessary, making sure at least 1/3 of the brine tank is full at all times. Without proper salt levels, the water softener may not operate properly.
START-UP INSTRUCTIONS: FLUSHING OF SYSTEM: To flush the system of any debris and air after installation is complete, please perform the following steps: 1. Rotate bypass handles to the bypass mode (see Fig. 2 of page 4). 2. Turn on inlet water and check for leaks in the newly installed plumbing. 3. Fully open a cold water faucet, preferable at a laundry sink or bathtub without an aerator. 4. Wait two to three minutes or until water runs clear, then turn water off and follow start-up instructions.
8. SANITIZING OF UNIT UPON INSTALLATION AND AFTER SERVICE: At this time, it is advised to sanitize the softener: 1. Open brine tank and remove brine well cover. 2. Pour 1 oz. of household bleach into the softener brine well. 3. Replace brine well cover. NOTE: Avoid pouring bleach directly onto the safety float components in the brine well. Unit sanitizing will be complete when the first cycle is run and the bleach is flushed from the softener. 9. Check time of day. Start-up is now complete.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE: PROBLEM 1. No display on PC board 2. PC board does not display correct time of day 3. Display does not indicate that water is flowing. Refer to user instructions for how the display indicates water is flowing. 4. Control valve regenerates at wrong time of day 5. Time of day flashes on and off CAUSE CORRECTION A. No power at electric outlet A. Repair outlet or use working outlet B.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE cont’d: PROBLEM 7. Control valve does not regenerate automatically but does when the correct button(s) is depressed and held. For timeclock valves the buttons are ▲ & ▼. For all other valves the button is REGEN. 8. Hard or untreated water is being delivered 9. Control valve uses too much regenerant 10. Residual regenerant being delivered to service 11. Excessive water in regenerant tank CAUSE CORRECTION A. Bypass valve in bypass position A.
PROBLEM 12. Control valve fails to draw in regenerant 13. Water running to drain 14. E1, Err – 1001, Err – 101 = Control unable to sense motor movement 15. E2, Err – 1002, Err – 102 = Control valve motor ran too short and was unable to find the next cycle position and stalled CAUSE CORRECTION A. Injector is plugged A. Remove injector and clean or replace B. Faulty regenerant piston B. Replace regenerant piston C. Regenerant line connection leak C. Inspect regenerant line for air leak D.
TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE cont’d: PROBLEM CAUSE CORRECTION A. Motor failure during a regeneration 16. E3, Err – 1003, Err – 103 = Control valve B. Foreign matter built up on piston and stack motor ran too long and assemblies creating friction and drag enough was unable to find the to time out motor next cycle position C. Drive bracket not snapped in properly and out enough that reduction gears and drive gear do not interface 17. E4, Err – 1004, Err – 104 = Control valve A.
