PROGRAMMING
Initial Start Up
The initial start up will probably be done by the technician
installing the softener system. If not, the following instructions
will step you 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 4) 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 salt keeper.
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 the display will flash 12:00 (AM).
(Figure 7, page 6).
5.
Set the time of day (figure 8, page 7).
6.
Push REGEN button and hold it down for 3 seconds.
The system will advance to the “Fill” position. (Note:
If the system is not programmed as “brine refill first”,
“Backwash” will display first). Keep pushing REGEN
button until “Rinse” shows in the lower right hand
corner of display. Slowly place the by-pass into the
“diagnostic mode” (see fig 4, page 4). Run water to the
drain until it runs clear. Return the by-pass valve to the
by-pass position (fig 3, page 4). Push REGEN button
one more time, “Time” will appear in upper left hand
corner of display.
7.
Once again, push REGEN button and hold down for 3
seconds. Keep pushing REGEN button until “Back-
wash” appears. Slowly place the by-pass valve into
the “Diagnostic Mode” 1/2 way. Allow water to slowly
fill the mineral tank. When a solid stream of water
starts coming out of the drain line, open the by-pass
inlet valve all the way and allow to run out the drain
until water clears. Then slowly place the by-pass into
the “normal operation” mode by opening the outlet
side of by-pass valve, figure 2, page 4.
8.
Press the regen button one more time. LED display
should say “BRINE”. Loosen the brine line from the
top of the safety brine valve in the brine tank. Place
finger over the end of the tube to check for suction. If
no suction, see trouble-shooting guide. (See #11,
Page 11) If proper suction, reattach brine tube to
safety brine valve, and allow it to draw water down to
the bottom of the air check, (figure 6b, page 5).
9.
Press REGEN button once again. LED will once again
display “BACKWASH”. Keep in backwash until water
once again runs clear at the drain.
10. Press REGEN button again. LED will display “RINSE”.
Allow rinse cycle to run its full circle. While the rinse
cycle is finishing, this would be a good time to load
your brine tank with salt. The brine tank does not
require a grid because softener is programmed to fill
brine tank with appropriate volume of water 2 hours
prior to regeneration.
11. Once the rinse cycle has finished the softener control
will return to the softening cycle. The LED screen will
indicate “TIME”.
12. Next set your softeners water hardness, days override
and regeneration time settings (see figure 9, page 7).
Your programming is now complete.
General Information
The Hellenbrand Series 100 control valve is the “brain” of your
water softener. It consists of the valve body and powerhead with
solid state microprocessor.
The display panel (see Figure 7) consists of the LED
display, power light, and five push buttons which are used in
displaying and programming the water softener settings.
