Set each step according to the values below, appropriate for a softener:
1
8 minutes. This is the Backwash cycle.
[ 1 - 8 ]
2
60 minutes. This is the Brine Draw cycle.
[ 2 - 60 ]
3
6 minutes. This is the Rapid Rinse cycle.
[ 3 - 6 ]
4
For the Brine Refill Cycle, set the time according to the size of your system:
4. Set the Capacity
The display screen will have a lower-case c, and three numbers: [c
027].
Set this according to the size of softener you have, i.e.:
[c 024] for a 24,000 capacity, [c 032] for a 32,000 capacity, [c 048]
for 48,000 Capacity, etc.
5. Set the Safety Factor (P)
The control unit takes the input value for the capacity and divides it by the value input for the
hardness (the H setting).
So, if you have a capacity of 048 (48,000 grains) and you have 10 grains of Hardness, you will have a
“gallon run” between regenerations of 4,800 gallons. The flow meter starts at that value, and when
that many gallons have passed through the softener, it will do an automatic regeneration, at the pre-
programmed time.
Since that may happen up to 23 hours before the next regeneration can happen, a safety factor can
be input, as a percentage. In the above example, if you set
P
at 10, it will subtract 480 gallons, and
will have a gallon run of 4320- this safeguards that you will have softened water throughout the day,
when the valve has already counted down to zero gallons.
6. Bluetooth Settings
After the Capacity setting, you will see
bE 1, btPP and 1234
each time you hit the Menu/Enter
button. These are factory/dealer settings and not used currently on your valve.
After
1234
the display will return to the service screen, flashing between the clock time and the
number of gallons remaining until regeneration.
