Power Loss - Lithium battery on circuit board provides up to 2 years of time clock
backup during power outages. If the power is out when battery is depleted, only time of
day needs to be reset, all other values are stored in non-volatile memory. When time of
day is ashing, replace lithium coin type 2032 battery.
Battery back-up feature will be activated after 24 hours of power.
Do not forget to reset for daylight savings time.

GENERAL INFORMATION
The E3 control valve is the “brain” of your water softener. It consists of the valve
body and powerhead with solid state microprocessor.
The display panel (see Figure 2) consists of the LCD display and ve push
buttons which are used in displaying and programming the water softener settings.

SETTINGS - HARDNESS, DAY OVERRIDE, REGENERATION TIME
Step 1 - Press NEXT and  simultaneously for 3 seconds.
Step 2 - HARDNESS: Set the amount of total compensated hardness in grains (hard-
ness as calcium carbonate) per gallon using  or  buttons. The factory setting is
20 with value ranges from 1 to 150 in 1 grain increments. Note: The grains per gallon
should be increased if soluble iron needs to be reduced. Add 3 grains of hardness
for each ppm of iron present. If this display shows nA -, then system is set-up in “lter”
mode or "AUTO" is not selected in softener system setup. Press NEXT to go to Step 3.
Press REGEN to exit Settings.
Step 3 - DAY OVERRIDE: This sets the number of days between regenerations. If
value set to “oFF” regeneration initiation is based solely on gallons used. If value is set
as a number (allowable range from 1 to 28) a regeneration initiation will be called for on
that day even if sufcient number of gallons were not used to call for a regeneration. Set
Day Override using  or  buttons: Factory setting is 14 days.
• number of days between regeneration (1 to 28); or
• “oFF”
Step 4 - REGENERATION TIME (hour): Set the hour of day for regeneration using  or
 buttons. AM/PM toggles after 12. The factory setting time is 2:00 a.m. Press NEXT
to go to step 5. Press REGEN to return to previous step.
NOTE: When installing this unit as part of a multi unit parallel system the regen time of
day must be adjusted to prevent multiple units from regenerating at the same time.
Step 5 - REGENERATION TIME (minutes): Set the minutes of day for regeneration
using  or  buttons. This display will not be shown if system is set for immediate
regeneration. Press NEXT to exit Installer Displays/Settings. Press REGEN to return to
previous step.
