Introduction
The Model TC Control provides sophisticated
Electronic Time Clock-based water conditioning. The
control is factory default programmed for the majority
of the required settings and only requires simple
minimal on site programming for the remaining
settings to suit the specific installation.
The control provides efficient, trouble free, soft water.
The Series WS1-TC valve combines design
simplicity with glass reinforced NORYL* plastic
construction to provide an uncommonly reliable
appliance.
If maintenance becomes necessary, the Model WS1-
TC water Conditioner System has the capability for
quick repairs.
NORYL is a trademark of GE Plastics.
Special Features
•
Memory Retention. During a power outage,
critical operating information in the control's
memory is stored in a special electronic device
called a NOVARAM. When power is restored, the
information is returned to the microprocessor and
operation resumes as if an outage never
occurred. The time of day will be late by the
length of the power outage. Because most power
outages are less than one minute in duration, it
may be months or years before the time display
requires resetting. If an outage of one or more
hours occurs, the time of day should be reset but
no other reprogramming is necessary.
•
Design Reliability. Solid-state electronics assure
many years of trouble-free performance.
•
Days between Regeneration and Time Of
Regeneration . Once the settings are entered, the
information cannot be lost due to a power outage,
so reprogramming is not necessary.
•
Guest Cycle. An extra regeneration can be
achieved at any time by pressing the
▲▼
buttons
on the front panel. It takes a few minutes for the
regeneration to start. The unit completes the
regeneration in about two hours. This feature is
beneficial when you expect to use more than the
normal amount of water; for example, guest visits
or an extra heavy laundry day. The manual can
be set for immediate regeneration or delayed
regeneration at the programmed in time of
regeneration normally at 2am.
General Conditioner Information
How the Water Softener Works
In general, your water softener works in the follow-ing
manner. Hard water flows into the softener and
through the resin bed where calcium and magnesium
hardness minerals are exchange. The conditioned
water flows out of the resin bed into your plumbing
system. After a certain amount of hard water has
passed through the softener , the resin cannot
remove any more minerals. This resin state is called
exhaustion and indicates that the resin needs to be
regenerated . The regeneration process restores the
conditioner's ability to soften water. The regeneration
process utilised Brine from the storage compartment
to recharge the resin and the Brine will have to be
replenished with Salt regularly. This softener
consumes 3.6 kg of salt per regeneration.
Model TC Control Front Panel
The main components of the model TC Control front
panel are:
•
Main Display Screen
•
Display screen – set as time of day or days to
regeneration
•
Programming Push Buttons
•
Six-cycle operation provides for down flow condi-
tioned water, upflow backwash, downflow brining
and slow rinse, second up flow backwash ,down
flow fast rinse, and refill of the brine tank and
Service
•
System operation cannot get out of phase or
sequence. The control always returns to a fixed
conditioned water position after regeneration.
