D. PRESSURE TEST THE INSTALLATION
The plumbing system can now be checked for any possible leaks
1. Put the unit into backwash. To do this, push and hold the REGEN button for 3-5 seconds. When the
Valve stops cycling, unplug the unit. With water supply off, put the bypass into the service position.
2. Open water supply line valve very slowly. Water should escape slowly from the drain line. If water enters
too quickly, resin may be lost to the drain.
3. When all of the air has been purged from the mineral tank (water flows steadily from the drain) open the
main supply valve fully.
4. Allow water to run to drain until clear. CHECK FOR LEAKS!
5. Plug the unit back in.
6. Manually step the unit through the remaining steps, stopping at the fill cycle (to do this, push the REGEN
button. The unit will say Brine on the screen). Once the piston has stopped moving, push the REGEN
button again to the next cycle. Continue until Fill appears on the screen. The unit will now fill the brine
tank to the appropriate level. (This sequnce is for softeners with post fill brine)
7. Allow control to return to the home position.
8. Check for leaks!
9. Make sure the power cord is plugged into a properly grounded wall receptacle.
E. MANUAL REGENERATION
The user can initiate manual regeneration. The user has the option to request a manual regeneration at the
delayed regeneration time or to have the regeneration occur immediately:
1. Pressing and releasing the REGEN button. “Regen Today” will flash on the display and the regeneration
will occur at the delayed regeneration time. The user can cancel the request by pressing and releasing
the REGEN button. This method of manually initiating regeneration is not allowed when the system is set to
immediately regenerate when the gallon capacity reaches zero.
2. Pressing and holding the REGEN button for approximately 3 seconds will immediately start the regeneration
The user cannot cancel this request.
NOTE: Program Timer “Lockout” Feature
The Program Timer is initially set to allow access to all Programming, Diagnostic and History screens
The Installer can limit access to (lockout) most screens by activating the Lockout Feature.
Activating “Lockout” allows the user to view and change only Water Hardness, Days Override, Time of Regeneration
and Time of day.
Activate “Lockout” Feature: Press then NEXT then then SET CLOCK in sequence. LOC will briefly appear
in the display.
De-activate “Lockout” Feature: Press then NEXT then then SET CLOCK. UNLOC will briefly appear in
the display.
When in operation normal user displays such as time of day, gallons remaining or days remaining before regeneration
are shown. When stepping through a procedure if no buttons are pressed within five minutes the display returns to a
normal user display. Any changes made prior to the five minute time out are incorporated. The one exception is cur-
rent flow rate display under the diagnostic procedure. The current flow rate display has a 30 minute time out feature.
