* The 962 controller functions in either a 12-hour or
24-hour clock mode. Programming P13 (clock mode) before
P1 or P2 will eliminate any confusion when setting these
parameters.
** The 962 controller functions in either U.S. or metric units.
Programming P12 (units of measure) before P3 or P4 will
eliminate any confusion when setting these parameters.
*** The calculated gallon amount loaded into the daily
registers (L7 through L13) at START-UP, uses this percentage
of capacity. Example: 90,000 grains in P5 ñ 10 grains in P3,
90,000 / 10 = 9,000 gallon capacity, 9,000 x .3 (30% in P16)
= 2700 gallons, which is loaded into L7 through L13, the
daily averages. For this example, the smart reserve at
START-UP, would be 2700 gallon x 1.2 (120% of the daily
average) = 3240 gallon. This daily average will change as
actual water usage information is gathered.
P16 ***
Fixed Reserve
capacity
If P15 is set at 1 or 3, enter the fixed reserve capacity (in gallons) (m
3
) that
the unit will look for as explained in sections P2 and P15 above. Not used
in Alternating mode.
P17
Operation type
Self explanatory. 3 = Single or parallel Softener or Tank; 4 = Single or
Parallel Filter.
P18
Salt/capacity
lockout
Allows for the lock out of P4 and P5 so that NO unauthorized changes to
the programmed values can be made.
P19
Flow Sensor Select
This parameter is used to select the flow sensor that is to be used with
the system. The factory-preset value is 1 for a 1-inch turbine. The range is
1 - 4.
1 = Autotrol 1-inch turbine, 2 = Autotrol 2-inch turbine, 3 = user
programmable K-factor, 4 = user programmable pulse equivalent. The
respective meter manufacturer should supply the K-factors or pulse
equivalents for individual meters.
P20
K-factor or pulse
equivalent
The range is 000.01 to 255.00 in 0.01 steps. How this number is used is
defined by the values stored in P12 (units of measure) and P19 (flow
sensor select). P12 is used to define gallons or liters (0 = gallons, 1 =
liters). P19 is used to define K-factor or pulse equivalent (3 = K-factor, 4 =
pulse equivalent). K-factor is defined as pulses per gallon or pulses per
liter. Signet and Sea-Flow are two flow sensor manufacturers that publish
a K-factor. The control can now use any flow sensor as long as the
programmed K-factor is correct. The pulse equivalent is defined as
gallons or liters per pulse. The control will register 5 gallons of flow for
every pulse if P12 = 0, P19 = 4 and P20 = 5.00. Badger Meter is one
manufacturer that uses a pulse equivalent. The control will not show flow
rate if P19 = 4 (pulse equivalent). This is because pulses are accumulated
over 10 seconds and flow rate is displayed in gallons per minute. The
control will alternate between time of day and capacity remaining or
regeneration time remaining during normal operation.
P21
Remote
regeneration/
backwash switch
delay
This parameter is used to program the length of signal time required to
initiate a regeneration/backwash using a differential pressure switch or
remote start button/contact. The range is 1 to 254 seconds in 1-second
steps. The default is 60 seconds. A counter starts when there is a closed
dry contact (no voltage) to this input. A regeneration/backwash will start
when the contacts remain closed for the programmed time. The counter
will reset to zero when the contacts open for at least 0.02 seconds. The
remote regeneration input cannot be used to perform a double manual
regeneration. The remote regeneration input is ignored during a
regeneration/backwash.
