The following screens contain values that are operator adjustable. The controller’s factory preset values may not 
be the final operating values. These values should be adjusted to meet the filters backflush requirements. Refer-
ence the filter manufacturer’s owners manual for additional information. 

Backflush Interval:  The user-defined interval at which the system will 
initiate  an  automatic  backflush  cycle.      The  backflush  Interval  timer 
resets after any backflush cycle occurs (by timer, PD gauge, or opera-
tor).  This value is adjustable from 1 minute to 1000 hrs. Setting both 
values to zero will turn off the backflush timer. It is recommended that 
the operator adjust the backflush interval timer so that the system back-
flushes by the time before the pressure differential is reached. Factory 
Preset value is 24 hours. 

Backflush  Duration:  The  time  allotted  for  the  actual  backflushing  of 
the filter once the valves have been opened to the backflush position.  
This  time  is  set  according  to  the  type  of  filter  and  the  nature  of  the  
material being filtered.  This value is adjustable from 1.0 to 600.0 sec-
onds. Factory Preset value is 180.0 seconds.
