Caution
Never connect the drain line into a drain,
sewer line or trap. Always allow an air gap
between the drain line and the wastewater
to prevent the possibility of sewage being
back-siphoned into the conditioner.
Refer to Figure 1 or your conditioner for the location
of these features.
The front panel incorporates several important
features which allow you t know the status of your
water conditioner. These features are:
•
Regeneration Cycle Indicator.
The white
indicator points to the status of the conditioner.
Soft water is available when the indicator points to
REGENERATION COMPLETE. Other positions
indicate that the conditioner is regenerating the
resin bed and only hard water is available.
•
Four-Digit Display.
The four-digit red LED
display shows system information such as time of
day, gallons of conditioned water available, time
the conditioner will regenerate, or any error
alarms
•
Green indicator lights.
The green indicator
lights are located at the right of the control panel.

REGEN TIME REMAINING
When a green light is on next to one of the six control
legends, the LED display provides information
pertain-ing to that legend. When conditioned water is
available, the display alternates between TIME OF
DAY and CAPACITY and the corresponding green
lights alternate between these control legends.
•
Programmed Push Buttons.
The programming
buttons are located at the bottom of the panel
under the display. Use the buttons to look at or
change the conditioner settings.
•
REGEN Push Button.
The REGEN button is
located at the bottom of the panel below the six
indicator lights. Press the button to start a
regeneration of the water conditioner.
Note:
If you press the button again a minute or more
after a regeneration begins, a second regeneration
will start when the first regeneration is completed. The
display freezes with the REGEN TIME REMAINING
information. After the first regeneration is completed,
the second regeneration begins immediately. The
display will alternate between the TIME OF DAY and
REGEN TIME REMAINING.
Control Settings
General Information
Use the four programming push buttons to change
any of the control settings. Settings can only be
changed if the regeneration cycle indicator is pointing
at REGEN-ERATION COMPLETE. If you try to
change the setting when the cycle indicator is in any
other position or if the setting is not valid, the control
beeps to let you know that the new setting has been
ignored.
To change a setting:
Press the down arrow
ò
button
until the green light is illuminated next to the control
setting you want to change. That control setting value
shows on the display. Press the
SET
button and the
far right number on the display starts flashing. If you
want to change the number, press the up arrow
ñ
button to increase the number or the down arrow
ò
button to decrease the number. To skip the number
without changing, press the left arrow
ï
button.
Note:
If you press and hold either the up arrow
ñ
but-
ton or the down arrow
ò
button for more than 1
second, the flashing number will scroll up or down.
When the number is correct, press the left arrow
ï
button. The first number stops flashing and the next
number starts flashing. You can only change the
flashing number. Continue changing numbers until
you reach the desired setting. Press the
SET
button.
The numbers stop flashing and the control accepts
the new setting. After approximately 30 seconds, the
control starts alternating the display between TIME
OF DAY and CAPACITY.
Note:
If a beep sounds, the new setting is not ac-
cepted because it was outside the range of allowable
values. The old setting will be shown on the display.
Time of Day Clock
The Control uses the Time of Day Clock and the
amount of conditioned water remaining to decide
when to begin a regeneration. When a regeneration is
necessary and the Time of Day Clock is at the same
time as the Time of Regeneration setting, the control
starts the regeneration.
