Normal Operation
1. Home Display
a. Alternates between the display of Time of Day and Number of Days until the Next Backwash. (Metered
Softeners will alternate between time of days and gallons remaining until next regeneration)
- Days Remaining until the Next Backwash will count down from the entered value until it reaches 1 day
remaining.
- A Backwash Cycle will then be initiated at the next designated regeneration time.
2. Battery Back-Up (Uses a standard 9-volt alkaline battery.)
Features of Battery Back-Up:
• During power failures, the battery will maintain the time of day as long as the battery has power. The
display is turned off to conserve battery power during this time. To confirm that the battery is working,
press either button and the display will turn on for five (5) seconds.
• If power failure occurs while system is regenerating, the Isobar 2 will motor to a shut off position to
prevent constant flow to drain. After power is restored, the Isobar 2 will return and finish the cycle where
it left off prior to the power interruption.
• When used without battery back-up, during a power failure, the unit stops at its current point in the
regeneration position and then restarts at that point when the power is restored. The time will be offset
by the increment of time the unit was without power, so it is necessary to reset the time of day on the
unit. No other system settings will be affected.
