8 - TIMER FEATURES SXT
Figure 5
Features of the SXT:
• Power backup that continues to keep time and the
passage of days for a minimum of 48 hours in the event
of power failure. During a power outage, the control goes
into a power-saving mode. It does not monitor water
usage during a power failure, but it does store the volume
remaining at the time of power failure.
• Settings for both valve (basic system) and control type
(method used to trigger a regeneration).
• Day-of-the-Week controls.
• While in service, the display alternates between time of
day, volume remaining or days to regeneration.
• The Flow Indicator ashes when outlet ow is detected.
• The Service Icon ashes if a regeneration cycle has been
queued.
• A Regeneration can be triggered immediately by pressing
the Extra Cycle button for ve seconds.
• The Parameter Display displays the current Cycle Step
(BW, BF, RR etc) during regeneration, and the data
display counts down the time remaining for that cycle
step. While the valve is transferring to a new cycle step,
the display will ash. The parameter display will identify
the destination cycle step (BW, BF, RR, etc) and the data
display will read "------". Once the valve reaches the cycle
step, the display will stop ashing and the data display
will change to the time remaining. During regeneration,
the user can force the control to advance to the next cycle
step immediately by pressing the extra cycle button.
Setting the Time of Day
1. Press and hold either the Up or Down buttons until the
programming icon replaces the service icon and the
parameter display reads TD.
2. Adjust the displayed time with the Up and Down buttons.
3. When the desired time is set, press the Extra Cycle button
to resume normal operation. The unit will also return to
normal operation after 5 seconds if no buttons are pressed.
