Placing Conditioner Into Operation
Conditioner Start-Up
After you have performed the previous initial power-up steps, you will
need to place the conditioner into operation. Follow these steps carefully,
as they differ from previous Autotrol valve instructions.
1. Remove the cover from the valve. Removing the cover will allow you to
see that the camshaft is turning, and in which cycle the camshaft is
currently positioned.
2. With the supply water for the system still turned off, position the
bypass valve to the “not in bypass” (normal operation) position.
3. Press and release the REGEN button on the controller. The scrolling
text on the display will show "DELAYED REGENERATION". Press UP to
navigate to "IMMEDIATE REGENERATION".
4. Press and release SET to begin regeneration. The display will show
eight LEDs moving from left to right on the banner display indicating
that the motor is running. Additionally, the display will show the total
regeneration time remaining.
Pressing and holding SET when the motor has stopped displays the
cycle description and cycle time remaining.
5. Press and release SET and UP simultaneously to advance to each
cycle.
6. Advance the control to the Backwash. See below for the cycle
sequences.
NOTE: The control valve can be started-up even if power is not yet
available to the controller. The valve must be connected to the water
supply. The motor can be unmounted from the valve, and the camshaft
can be indexed manually counterclockwise by hand. This will allow the
tank to be filled and allows regenerant draw to be tested.
