Step 1: 

Check plug is dry first, then connect lead into power outlet, switch on.

 

Step 2: 

Remove  clear  cover  from  timer  face  by  pulling  the  two  black  lock  pins  outward.
Depress  the  red  knob 

(Fig.  14)

  and  rotate  anti-clockwise  to  backwash  position,

release  red  knob,  wait  for  valve  drive  to  index  to  backwash  position,  (if  not
already in this position) spindle fully out.

 (Fig.11).

 

Step 3: 

Just  open  inlet  isolating  valve  approximately  1.1/2  turns.  Allow  unit  to  fill  slowly
(water  will  issue  to  drain)  continue  to  run  until  the  unit  automatically  indexes  to
Pause position which may take up to 20 minutes. All air must be removed.

 

Step 4: 

Depress the red knob and turn anti-clockwise  until  the  microswitch  trips  into  the
fast  rinse  position.  Allow  the  valve  to  move  fully  into  this  position 

ie.  Fig.  13

.

Further  rotate  the  red  knob  anti-clockwise  so  that  the  arrow  tip  is  pointing  at
about  a  seven  o'clock  position.  Then  allow  the  red  knob  to  advance  electrically
around to the Service position.  This may take up to 10 minutes.

 

Step 5: 

Depress  the  red  knob  and  turn  anti-clockwise  to  start,  release,  the  unit  will  now
go through each cycle - Backwash, purge and back to service automatically.

 

 

NOTE

:

A small amount of media may pass to drain during the initial backwash,

this is considered normal.

 

Step 6: 

Check  with  site  supervisor  that  unit  can  go  on  line.  If  so  -  slowly  open  outlet
isolating  valve  fully,  check  that  manual  bypass  valve  is  fully  closed.  This  unit  is
now on line.

 

Step 7: 

Check for and report any leaks.

 

Step 8: 

Set  the  backwash  frequency  to  Tuesday,  and  Saturday  for  Carbon  Filter  if
frequency  of  backwash  has  not  already  been  calculated.  To  set,  PUSH  the
skipper pins IN on the skipper wheel on days Backwashing is required.

 

 

Note

:    This  is  only  a  guide  for  initial  setting  and  should  be  altered  to  suit  each

individual installation in accordance with load conditions.

 

 

Turn the dial to the correct day of the week on which you are setting the dial. Now
depress the pins for the desired day/s for backwash required.
