Note: The use of a small needle nose pliers or tweezers
will aid in moving the jumper.
Note: The unit is factory set to regenerate at 2:00 a.m.
If you prefer to have the unit regenerate at an earlier or
later time, simply set the current time of day
accordingly. To have the unit regenerate at 4:00 a.m.,
two hours later, set the clock two hours earlier than the
actual current time.
Hardness Setting
Move the jumper to the set of pins next to the word
HARDNESS (Figure 11). Press the black TIME SET
button until the correct hardness is displayed. The
hardness range is from 1 to 99 grains per gallon.
To change water hardness stated in parts per million
(PPM) to grains per gallon (GPG) use this formula:
Parts per Million
= Grains per Gallon
17.1
Capacity Setting
Move the jumper to the set of pins next to the word
CAPACITY (Figure 12). Press the black TIME SET
button until the correct capacity value is displayed. The
capacity range is 1 to 99 kilograins. Refer to the
Suggested Salt Dial Settings table.
Return the jumper to the top set of pins next to the
word TIME and replace the access door. The next three
sets of pins are used for factory testing and are not
used in normal operation. The jumper must NOT be left
on any pins other than the top pair next to the word
TIME. Otherwise, the unit may not function.
Note: A spare jumper is located on the bottom set of
pins.
In the event that the hardness or capacity setting must
be changed, simply follow the appropriate steps
described above.
Calendar Override Setting
1. Disconnect power.
2. Place jumper on Pin A and reconnect power.
3. Move jumper to Pin B. A zero will appear, indicating
zero days of calendar override. All 460i controllers
are preprogrammed in this manner at the
manufacturer.
4. Depress the black TIME SET button. The numbers
will roll from “0” to “15.” Release the switch at the
desired number of days for the calendar override.
For example, releasing the switch at “10” would
program a 10-day calendar override.
5. Disconnect power.
6. Place jumper back on TIME and reconnect power.
7. The calendar override program is maintained
during power outages by the NOVRAM circuitry.
8. To remove the calendar override, follow the same
steps above and program back to “0.”
Manual Regeneration
Electricity is used only to run the timer and to rotate the
camshaft. All other functions are operated by water
pressure. Therefore, in the event of a power outage, all
the regeneration positions may be dialed manually by
depressing the pointer knob with a straight blade
screwdriver and turning COUNTERCLOCKWISE.
Manual time cycle:
• Backwash–14 minutes
• Brine/Slow Rinse–52 minutes
• Brine Refill–10 minutes
• Fast Rinse/Refill–6 minutes.
Do not exceed 10 minutes for the refill cycle as this will
cause excessive salt usage during the next
regeneration and possibly a salt residue in the softened
water.
DO NOT advance the pointer knob directly to the
conditioned water position (6 o’clock) after a manual
regeneration or when servicing the conditioner.
Advance it to just past the purge position,
approximately 7 o’clock. The timer will then advance
itself to the conditioned water position where the
internal switch will turn the motor off. The internal
switch will not be operated and the motor will continue
to run if advanced directly to the conditioned water
position.
If power fails during a conditioner regeneration, the
cycle will be completed normally when the power is
restored.
