RECHARGE NOW
-- For an immediate extra back-
wash at any time, use this feature. Press and
hold
in the RECHARGE keypad for three seconds until
RECHARGE NOW begins to flash in the display. The
filter backwashes for 25 minutes, followed by a 5
minute fast rinse cycle. Then the filter returns to ser-
vice.
VACATION
-- The day you leave on vacation, or oth-
er long absence, press (DO NOT HOLD IN) the RE-
CHARGE keypad.
VAC
begins to flash in the
display. The timer will keep time, but the filter will not
backwash and waste water.
NOTE:
While in the VACATION setting, the filter
will
go through a backwash if the RECHARGE NOW
feature is used (see above).
WHEN YOU RETURN, press the RECHARGE key-
pad again to return the filter to service, and the cor-
rect time of day will show in the display.
Remember
to do this or the filter will not backwash and you
will have unfiltered water.
The default settings for backwash (25 minutes) and
fast rinse (5 minutes) cycles of recharge are factory
set for maximum performance of the filter. Use the
following procedures to check for correct cycle
times, or to change if desired. However, only trained
technicians should change the time settings.
ADJUSTABLE BACKWASH
-- Press and hold the
SELECT button until the display shows “000----”,
then press the SELECT button once to advance to
the Backwash time adjust screen.
Using the UP or DOWN buttons, adjust the back-
wash time from 0 minutes to 60 minutes.
ADJUSTABLE FAST RINSE
-- Press and hold the
SELECT button until the display shows “000----”,
then press the SELECT button twice to advance to
the Fast Rinse time adjust screen.
Using the UP or DOWN buttons, adjust the fast rinse
time from 0 minutes to 60 minutes.
NOTE:
Fill and brine times are adjustable, but preset
at the factory to zero minutes. It is recommended to
leave these settings as preset, unless the filter is
used in a custom application by the installer.
TIMER “POWER--OUTAGE MEMORY”
-- If electri-
cal power to the timer is interrupted, the “memory”
built into timer circuitry keeps time settings for
several hours (minimum) or more. The display is
blank and the filter will not recharge. When electrical
power comes on, one of two things will happen.
1. The present time of day will show steady, meaning
the timer has not lost time.
2. The display will show a time, but it will be flashing.
The timer memory did
not
keep the time setting and
must be reset (page 11). If you do not reset the time
setting, recharges will most likely be at the wrong
time of day.
NOTE:
The flashing display is to remind you to reset
the timer.
NOTE:
If the filter was in a backwash when power
was lost, it will now finish the cycle.
