– Allows selection of one of the following using
or
:
• the Control Valve to have no hard water bypass;
• the Control Valve to act as an alternator; or
• the Control Valve to have a separate source during the regeneration cycle; or
• the Control Valve to operate with the Clack System Controller.
Select OFF when none of these features are used.
This display will not appear if 1.0T was selected in Step 2CS.
Only use Clack No Hard Water Bypass Valves or Clack Motorized Alternating Valves (MAV) with
these selections. Clack No Hard Water Bypass Valves (1” or 1.25” V3070FF or V3070FM) are not
designed to be used with the alternator or separate source functions.
Selecting the Control Valve to act as an alternator:
Prior to starting the programming steps, connect the interconnect cable to each control valve board’s three pin connector
labeled COMM CABLE. Also connect the meter cord to either control valve to the three pin connector labeled ‘METER’.

Set to ALT A
Connect the outlet plumbing of Valve A to
the MAV’s A port and connect the MAV’s two
pin wire connector to the two pin connector
labeled “DRIVE” on Valve A
Set to ALT B
Connect the outlet plumbing of Valve B to the
MAV’s B port. No electrical connections are
required between Valve B and the MAV

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.
