Configuring the Control Valve for Separate Source Operation:
Select Separate Source for control operation. For separate source operation, the three wire connector
is not used. Selection requires that a connection to a Clack Motorized Alternator Valve (MAV) is made
to the two pin connector labeled MAV MTR located on the printed circuit board. The C port of the
MAV must be connected to the valve inlet and the A port connected to the separate source used during
regeneration. The B port must be connected to the feed water supply.
When set to Separate Source the MAV will be driven closed before the first regeneration cycle, and be
driven open after the last regeneration cycle.
NOTE: If the control valve enters into an error state during regeneration mode, the MAV will either
remain in Service or be returned to Service until the error is corrected and reset.
Configuring the Control Valve for No Hard Water Bypass Operation:
Select NO HARD BYPASS for control operation. For no hard water bypass operation the three wire
connector is not used. Selection requires that a connection to MAV or a Clack No Hard Water Bypass
Valve is made to the two pin connector labeled MAV MTR located on the printed circuit board. If using
a MAV, the A port of the MAV must be plugged and the valve outlet connected to the B port. When set
to No Hard Water Bypass the MAV will be driven closed before the first regeneration cycle that is not
FILL or SOFTENING or FILTERING, and be driven open after the last regeneration cycle that is not
FILL.
NOTE: If the control valve enters into an error state during regeneration mode, the no hard water
bypass valve will either remain in Service or be returned to Service until the error is corrected and
reset.

Note: Clack Twin Alternator Operations
• Twin alternating systems can be programmed with a day override setting combined with the normal volume-based regeneration
programming. A twin alternating system in this configuration will then regenerate based on the volume used or the day override if there is
a period of low water usage.
• Twin alternating systems can be programmed as a time clock only based regenerating system. In this configuration, the days remaining are
counted only on the unit that is in service. The unit in Stand-by Mode only notes days in diagnostics, which results in time clock only twin
regeneration initiation.
• Twin alternating systems can be programmed for a delayed regeneration time. The system will allow an immediate transfer of the MAV
to switch tanks and place a fully regenerated unit in service once a unit becomes exhausted. The exhausted unit will then be placed into
Stand-by Mode and allowed to have a delayed regeneration at the pre-set time.
Configuring the Control Valve to operate with Clack System Controller:
Select SYSTEM CONTROLLER to link the Control Valve to the Clack System Controller. For
communication between the Control Valve and the System Controller, a three-wire communication
cable is required. Selection requires that a connection to a Clack No Hard Water Bypass (V3070FF
or V3070FM) be made to the two-pin connector labeled MAV located on the printed circuit board for
WS1and WS1.25 control valves. For valve types WS1.5 and WS2, a connection from a Clack No Hard
Water Bypass (V3097/BSPT or V3098/ BSPT) to the two pin connector labeled MAV located on the
printed circuit board is required.
