OEM General Programming Instructions
The control valve offers multiple procedures that allow the valve to be modifi ed to suit the needs of the installation. These
procedures are:
• OEM Confi guration Setup • User Display Settings
• OEM Softener System Setup • Diagnostics
• OEM Filter System Setup • Valve History
• Installer Display Settings

Table 1: Regeneration Cycles Softening
Tables 1 and 2 show examples when the valve is set up as a softener or fi lter.
The control valve with a water meter can be set for Demand Initiated Regeneration (DIR) only, Time Clock operation only or DIR and Time Clock which ever
comes fi rst, depending upon what settings are selected for Day Override and Gallon Capacity.

See Table 3.
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.

For DIR Softeners, there are two options for setting the Gallons Capacity. The Gallons Capacity is automatically calculated if set to AUTO. Reserve Capacity is
automatically estimated based on water usage if AUTO is used. The other option is to set the Gallons Capacity to a specifi c number. If a specifi c number is set,
reserve capacity is zero, unless the value is manually set (i.e. the manufacturer intentionally sets the gallon capacity number below the calculated capacity of the
system).
A unique feature of this control valve is the ability to display actual water usage for the last 63 days. The values are initially stored as “----”. This
means the value is unknown. As days pass values are stored as “0” for no fl ow or the actual number of gallons. The counting of the gallons starts at the
regeneration time. If no regeneration time can be set (i.e. when the valve is set for immediate regeneration) the counting of gallons starts at 12 a.m. Day
1 is yesterday, day 2 the day before yesterday, etc. As new values are added the oldest history disappears.
Another unique feature is that the valve automatically calculates a reserve capacity when set up as a softener with “Gallons Capacity” set to “AUTO”
and the “Regeneration Time Option” set to “DELAY REGEN” or “DELAY + IMMEDIATE”. The actual reserve capacity is compared to the gallons
capacity remaining immediately prior to the preset regeneration time. A regeneration will occur if the actual reserve capacity is less than the gallons
capacity remaining. The actual reserve capacity is calculated by using the estimated reserve capacity and adjusting it up or down for actual usage.
The estimated reserve capacity for a given day of the week is the maximum value stored for the last three non-trivial water usages (i.e. more than 20
gallons/day) in seven day intervals.

Days to REGEN and Gallon Capacity can not both be set to “OFF” at the same time.
