Performa 960 FA Level II Parameters

The Level II Parameters are P6 through P19 in Table 8.
The Operating and Maintenance Manual for this product 
does not mention these parameters, so the end user does 
not normally have access to these values. To access Level 
II Parameters, simultaneously press and hold the 

 DOWN 

ARROW 

(

) and 

UP ARROW

 (

) button for three seconds.

If the control was alternating between Time of Day and 
Capacity when the above button sequence is entered, the 
display shows P1. If a different Level I Parameter was 
displayed, the display snows the “P” number for that 
parameter. Refer to Table 8 to find the “P” number 
associated with each parameter.
Use the 

UP ARROW

 (

) button or the 

 DOWN ARROW 

(

button to move from one parameter to the next. The 
display cycles through the “P” numbers shown in Table 5 
and Table 8 When you reach P19, the display will go back 
to P1.
When the parameter number you want to change is 
displayed, press the 

LEFT ARROW

 (

) button to display 

the data assigned to that parameter. Press the 

SET

 button 

and the far right digit on the display starts flashing. If you 
want to change this number, press the 

UP ARROW

 (

button or the 

 DOWN ARROW 

(

) button. To skip the 

number without changing, press the left arrow button. 
When the number is correct, press the 

SET

 button. The 

numbers stop flashing and the control accepts the new 
setting. If the new setting was not accepted, the display 
will show the previous setting. Refer to Table 8 for 
allowable values for that parameter.
To change or view other parameters, press the 

LEFT 

ARROW

 (

) button to have the display show “P” numbers. 

Now use the 

UP ARROW

 (

) button or the 

DOWN ARROW 

(

) button to move to the parameter number you wish to 

change.
To exit the Level II programming mode, simultaneously 
press and hold the 

DOWN ARROW 

(

) and 

UP ARROW

 (

)  

buttons for three seconds, or wait 30 seconds without 
pressing a button. The control starts alternating the 
display between Time of Day and Capacity.

Refill Controller

Parameter P6 is used by the Performa 960 FA control 
to calculate the refill dwell time and provide accurate 
regenerant refill volumes. Refill controller must be set 
to 46 for proper system operation. The default value in 
P6 is 33. Press the set button and enter 46.

Regenerant Draw Value

Parameter P7 is used by the control to calculate the 
regenerant draw time. The default value of 25 was 
selected for a “B” injector with low water pressure or 
an “A” injector with moderate water pressure. If this 

does not match your installation, press the 

SET

 button 

and enter a new value. Refer to Table 9 for the correct 
value. The injector cap is labeled with the injector 
letter. The injector is color coded for easy 
identification. Next, determine the typical water 
pressure for this installation. The Regenerant Draw 
value is an estimate of the flow rate of regenerant 
through the injector. This rate varies with water 
pressure and injector type as shown in Table 9. The 
control calculates the regenerant draw time using this 
value and the Regenerant Dosage. The regenerant 
draw time is added to the Slow Rinse Time (P10) to 
determine the total Regenerant Draw/Slow Rinse 
Time.

This control does not use parameter P8. No entry is 
needed for this parameter.

Parameter P9 is used to set the backwash time in 
minutes. The default in P9 is 14 minutes. If a different 
backwash time is desired, press the 

SET

 button and 

enter a new value.

Slow Rinse Time

Parameter P10 determines the slow rinse time. The 
default value for P10 is 40 minutes. If a different slow 
rinse time is desired, press the 

SET

 button and enter a 

new value.

Parameter P11 determines the fast rinse time. The 
default value is 4 minutes. If a different fast rinse time 
is desired, press the 

SET

 button and enter a new value.

Parameter P12 selects the units of measure. Be sure 
that this is set to the correct value before entering any 
data for parameters P3, P4, or P5.

Parameter P13 selects the clock display mode. If the 
12 hour mode is selected, a PM indicator is used. If the 
24 hour mode is selected, the PM indicator is not used.

Parameter P14 is used to set the calendar override 
feature. The default value is zero. If set to zero, the 
feature is disabled. Refer to 

Calendar Override

, on 

page 17 for more information on the calendar 
override feature.

Parameter P15 selects a variable reserve type, 0 to 13. 
For more information see Reserve Options below.

Parameter P16 is used to calculate the initial average 
daily water usage values. The control multiplies the
