PROGRAMMING
Initial Start Up
The initial start up will probably be done by the technician install-
ing the softener system. If not, the following instructions will step
through the process.
1. Complete all plumbing connections: inlet, outlet, drain line
and brine line. Do not add salt at this time.
2. Place the bypass valve in the bypass position. (See figure
3 page 5) Turn on the main water supply. Open a cold soft
water faucet to flush the piping of any air and/or foreign
material. Run until the water is clear.
3. Manually add 6 inches of water to the brine tank.
4. Now plug the transformer into a 110-volt receptacle. (Be
certain the outlet is uninterrupted.) Within 5 seconds the
control will automatically align itself into the softening mode
and display will automatically show time of day. (Figure
8, page 7).
5. Set the time of day by pushing set clock button (figure 9,
page 8) and using
and
buttons.
6. Push REGEN button and hold it down for 3 seconds.
The system will advance to the "First" position. (Note:
Depending on how the system is programmed, it could
read backwash, rinse, brine or fill). If "First" position is not
"Rinse", push REGEN button to advance to next position.
Continue until "Rinse" shows in lower right hand corner of
display. Slowly place the bypass valve into the "diagnostic
mode" (see figure 4, page 4). Run water to drain until it
runs clear. Return the bypass valve to the bypass position
(see figure 3, page 4). Push REGEN button to advance
to next position. Continue until unit is back to softening
mode with time of day displayed. Repeat this process for
second tank.
7. Once again, push REGEN button and hold down for 3
seconds. The system will advance to the "First" position. If
General Information
The Pro315-TA Series control valve is the “brain” of your twin
alternating water softener. It consists of the valve body and
powerhead with solid state microprocessor.
The display panel (see Figure 7) consists of the LCD display
and five push buttons which are used in displaying and program-
ming the water softener settings.

USER DISPLAYS/SETTINGS
General Operation
When the system is operating, one of three
displays may be shown (four if the Salt Monitor
Option is activated). The first display is current
time of day. The second display shows the
tank in service on the left (A is the tank with
control valve and b is the tank with the in/out
head) and the current flow rate in gallons per
minute. The third display is the gallons capacity
remaining. The user can scroll between the
displays by pushing NEXT. Note: If the Salt
Monitor Option is activated, a fourth display
(Salt Fill) will be displayed prior to the gallons
capacity remaining.
When water is being treated (i.e. water is flow-
ing through the system) the word "softening"
flashes on the left side of display. If the display
is in the tank in service/current flow rate, the
word "softening" flashes on the left side of the
display and the actual flow rate is displayed
on the right side of the display.

User screens will continuously scroll, switching
views every 3 seconds. If the screens are manu-
ally scrolled, this screen will remain constant for
5 minutes then continue to scroll. The conditional
screens will take precedence over the scrolling
and the conditional conditions will apply.
To manually reduce capacity, press down button
while capacity remaining or days to a regen is
displayed.

"First" position is not "Backwash", push REGEN button to advance
to next position. Continue until "Backwash" shows in the lower
center portion of display. Slowly place the bypass valve into the
"diagnostic mode" 1/2 way. (see figure 4, page 4). Allow water
to slowly fill the brine tank. When a solid stream of water starts
coming out of the drain line, open the bypass inlet valve all the
way and allow water to run out the drain until water clears. Slowly
place the bypass into the "normal operation" mode by opening the
outlet side of the bypass valve (figure 2, page 4).
8. Push REGEN button to advance to Brine dN position. Loosen
the brine line from the top of the safety brine valve in brine tank.
Place finger over the end of the elbow to check for suction. If
no suction, see trouble-shooting guide (#10, page 17). If proper
suction, reattach brine line and allow it to draw water down to the
bottom of the air check (see figure 6b, page 5).
9. Push REGEN button to advance to "Rinse" position. Rinse until
water again runs clear at the drain.
10. Push REGEN button to advance to softening mode with time of
day displayed.
Repeat steps 6–10 for the second tank.
11. When completed, display will show time of day. Pushing next
button can change display from time of day to online tank/flow
rate or gallons capacity remaining.
12. Add salt to brine tank (if provided by installer) or instruct end user
of type and quantity of salt to add. If utilizing brine reclaim, manu-
ally add full volume of water to brine tank for first regeneration.
13. Proceed to Installer Settings on Page 7.
Note: These instructions are based on Hellenbrand Factory Default
Cycle Sequence Settings. If factory settings are changed, you may
need to adjust the number of times pushing REGEN to get to the
proper program cycle.
