OEM General 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 Setup
• OEM Softener System Setup
• OEM Filter System Setup
• Installer Display Settings
• User Display Settings
• Diagnostics
• Valve History
Once the OEM Setup has been set, the other procedures can be accessed in any order. Details on each of the procedures are provided
on the following pages.
At the discretion of the manufacturer, the fi eld technician can access all settings. To “lock out” access to diagnostic and valve
history displays and modifi cations to settings except hardness, day override, time of regeneration and time of day by anyone but
the manufacturer, press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and SET CLOCK in sequence after settings are made. To “unlock”, so other displays can be
viewed and changes can be made, press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and SET CLOCK in sequence.
When in operation normal user displays such as time of day, gallons remaining before regeneration, days remaining before
regeneration or current fl ow rate are shown. When stepping through a procedure, if no buttons are pressed within fi ve minutes, the
display returns to a normal user display. Any changes made prior to the fi ve minute time out are incorporated.
To quickly exit OEM Softener Setup, OEM Filter Setup, Installer Display Settings, Diagnostics or Valve History press SET
CLOCK. Any changes made prior to the exit are incorporated.
When desired, all information in Diagnostics may be reset to zero when the valve is installed in a new location. To reset
to zero, press NEXT and ▼ buttons simultaneously to go to the Service/OEM 1 screen, and release. Press ▲ and ▼
simultaneously to reset diagnostic values to zero. Screen will return to User Display.
Sometimes it is desirable to have the valve initiate and complete two regenerations within 24 hours and then return to the preset
regeneration procedure. It is possible to do a double regeneration if the control valve is set to “NORMAL” or “NORMAL + on 0” in
OEM Softener System Setup or OEM Filter System Setup. To do a double regeneration:
1. Press the “REGEN” button once. REGEN TODAY will fl ash on the display.
2. Press and hold the “REGEN” button for three seconds until the valve regeneration initiates.
Once the valve has completed the immediate regeneration, the valve will regenerate one more time at the preset regeneration time.
Proportional Brining
If the system is set up as a prefi ll upfl ow softener, the control valve can also be set to normal or proportional brining.
This step will appear after Step 8S and before Step 9S if the system is set up as a prefi ll upfl ow softener. The following options can
be selected:
• NORMAL FILL - System always prefi lls with the salt level selected.
• ProP FILL - If proportional brining is selected the actual salt level fi ll will be calculated by dividing the
actual volume treated by the calculated volumetric capacity, then multiply the salt level fi ll selected by
this percentage.
Press NEXT to go to the next step. Press REGEN to return to the previous step.
