Step 5CS –

 This display will not appear if 1.0

 

 was selected in Step 

2CS. Allows selection of one of the following using 

 

or 

:

• the Control Valve to have no hard water bypass;
• the Control Valve to act as an alternator;
• the Control Valve to have a separate source during the regeneration 
cycle; or
• the Control Valve to operate with the System Controller.

Select OFF when none of these features are used.

Only use Clack No Hard Water Bypass Valves or Clack Motorized Alternating Valves (MAV) with these selections. Clack No Hard Water 
Bypass Valves (1” or 1.25” V3070FF or V3070FM) are not designed to be used with the alternator or separate source functions.

Selecting the Control Valve to act as an alternator:

618.3 and higher = Use 3-wire Interconnect Cables for all communication between units.
616.6 and lower = Use 2-wire Interconnect Cables for twin alternators with independent 

fl

 ow meters.

Con

fi

 guring the Control Valve for No Hard Water Bypass Operation:

Select nHbP for control operation. For no hard water bypass operation the three wire communication cable 
is not used. 

Selection requires that a connection to MAV or a Clack No Hard Water Bypass Valve is made to the two 
pin connector labeled MAV located on the printed circuit board. If using a MAV, the A port of the MAV 
must be plugged and the valve outlet connected to the B port. When set to nHbP the MAV will be driven 
closed before the 

fi

 rst regeneration cycle that is not FILL or SOFTENING or FILTERING, and be driven 

open after the last regeneration cycle that is not FILL.

NOTE: If the control valve enters into an error state during regeneration mode, the no hard water bypass 
valve will return to the open Position, if not already there.

Con

fi

 guring the Control Valve for Separate Source Operation:

Select SEPS for control operation. For separate source operation the three wire communication cable is not 
used. 

Selection requires that a connection to a Clack Motorized Alternator Valve (MAV) is made to the two pin 
connector labeled MAV located on the printed circuit board. The C port of the MAV must be connected to 
the valve inlet and the A port connected to the separate source used during regeneration. The B port must 
be connected to the feed water supply.

When set to SEPS the MAV will be driven closed before the 

fi

 rst regeneration cycle, and be driven open 

after the last regeneration cycle.

NOTE: If the control valve enters into an error state during regeneration mode, the MAV will return to the 
open position, if not already there.

NOTE: If the control valve is in an error state during regeneration mode the MAV will close the B port and keep open the A port until the error is 
corrected and reset.

Step 5CS

Prior to starting the programming steps, connect the communication cable to each control valve board’s three pin connector labeled 

‘COMM CABLE’. Also connect the meter cord to either control valve to the three pin connector labeled ‘METER’.

Step 5CS

Set to ALT A

Connect  the outlet plumbing of ALT A 

valve to the MAV’s A port and connect 

the MAV’s two pin wire connector to the 

two pin connector labeled “DRIVE” on 

the ALT A valve

Set to ALT b

Connect the outlet plumbing of ALT b valve to the 

MAV’s B port. No electrical connections are required 

between the ALT b valve and the MAV.
