Introduction

This manual is about a control valve to be used on water softeners or water filters. The manual is designed to aid water treatment equipment manufacturers in the selection of the various control valve options. Information in this manual is different than what is needed for installation and servicing of a particular water treatment system. This manual is not intended to be used as a manual for a complete water softener or filter. Certain parts of the manual will serve as aids to manufacturers in the writing and layout of the manuals for installers and service personnel.

The following general warnings and the specifications in Table 1 must appear in the OEM’s System Manual.

The control valve, fittings and/or bypass are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, other hydrocarbon lubricants or spray silicone anywhere. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings but is not necessary. Avoid any type of lubricants, including silicone, on the clear lip seals.

The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand or with the special plastic wrench. If necessary a pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. Do not place a screwdriver in the slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer.

Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Use Teflon tape on the threaded inlet, outlet and drain fittings. Teflon tape is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.

After completing any valve maintenance involving the drive assembly or the drive cap assembly and pistons, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack from the printed circuit board (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position. The display should flash all wording, then flash the software version and then reset the valve to the service position.

All plumbing should be done in accordance with local plumbing codes. The pipe size for the drain line should be a minimum of ½”. Backwash flow rates in excess of 7 gpm or length in excess of 20’ require ¾” drain line.

Solder joints near the drain must be done prior to connecting the drain line flow control fitting. Leave at least 6” between the drain line control fitting and solder joints when soldering pipes that are connected on the drain line control fitting. Failure to do this could cause interior damage to the drain line flow control fitting.

When assembling the installation fitting package (inlet and outlet), connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or o-ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring and o-ring. Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve.

Plug into an electrical outlet. Note: All electrical connections must be connected according to local codes. (Be certain the outlet is uninterrupted.)

Install grounding strap on metal pipes.

Control Valve Function and Cycles of Operation

This glass filled Noryl1(or equivalent) fully automatic control valve is designed as the primary control center to direct and regulate all cycles of a water softener or filter. When the WS1CH control valve is manufactured as a softener, the control valve can be ordered to perform downflow or upflow regeneration. The WS1.25CH control valve is only available in downflow regeneration. When the WS1CH or WS1.25CH control valve is set up as a filter, the control valve can be set to perform downflow regeneration or simply backwash. The control valve can be set to regenerate on demand (consumption of a predetermined amount of water) and/or as a time clock (passage of a particular number of days). The control valve can be set so that a softener can meet the Water Quality Association (WQA) Standard S100 or NSF/ANSI Standard 44 efficiency rating.

It is not recommended to change control valves from downflow to upflow brining or vice versa in the field. The valve bodies for downflow and upflow are unique to the regeneration type and and should not be interchanged. A mismatch of valve body and regeneration piston will result in hard water bypass during service.

The control valve is compatible with a variety of regenerants and resin cleaners. The control valve is capable of routing the flow of water in the necessary paths to regenerate or backwash water treatment systems. The injector regulates the flow of brine or other regenerants. The control valve regulates the flow rates for backwashing, rinsing, and the replenishing of treated water into a regenerant tank, when applicable.

The control valve uses no traditional fasteners (e.g. screws); instead clips, threaded caps and nuts and snap type latches are used. Caps and nuts only need to be firmly hand tightened because radial seals are used. Tools required to service the valve include one small blade screw driver, one large blade screw driver, pliers and a pair of hands. A plastic wrench is available which eliminates the need for screwdrivers and pliers. Disassembly for servicing takes much less time than comparable products currently on the market. Control valve installation is made easy because the distributor tube can be cut ½” above to ½” below the top of tank thread. The distributor tube is held in place by an o-ring seal and the control valve also has a bayonet lock feature for upper distributor baskets.

The AC adapter power pack comes with a 15 foot power cord and is designed for use with the control valve. The AC adapter power pack is for dry location use only. The control valve remembers all settings until the battery power is depleted if the power goes out. After the battery power is depleted, the only item that needs to be reset is the time of day; other values are permanently stored in the nonvolatile memory. The control valve battery is not rechargeable but is replaceable.

The control valve’s unique design and electronics allow the OEM the flexibility shown in Tables 3 and 4.

For DIR Softeners, there are two options for setting the Gallons Capacity. The Gallons Capacity is automatically calculated if set to AUTO. Reserve Capacity is automatically estimated based on water usage if AUTO is used. The other option is to set the Gallons Capacity to a speciﬁ c number. If a speciﬁ c number is set, reserve capacity is zero, unless the value is manually set (i.e. the manufacturer intentionally sets the gallon capacity number below the calculated capacity of the system).

If the system is set up as a preﬁ ll upﬂ ow softener the control valve can also be set to normal or proportional brining. If proportional brining is selected, the actual salt level ﬁ ll will be calculated by dividing the actual volume treated by the calculated volumetric capacity, then multiplying the salt level ﬁ ll selected by this percentage.

The control valve can also be set to regenerate immediately or at the next regeneration time by changing the Regeneration Time Option. There are three choices for settings:

1. “NORMAL” means regeneration will occur at the preset regeneration time.

2. “on 0” means regeneration will occur when the gallons capacity reaches zero.

3. “NORMAL” and “on 0” means the regeneration will occur at the preset regeneration time unless the gallons capacity reaches zero. If the gallons capacity reaches zero the regeneration will begin 10 minutes after no water usage.

The user can initiate manual regeneration. The user has the option to request the manual regeneration at the delayed regeneration time or to have the regeneration occur immediately:

1. Pressing and releasing the REGEN button. “Regen Today” will ﬂ ash on the display and the regeneration will occur at the delayed regeneration time. The user can cancel the request by pressing and releasing the REGEN button. This method of manually initiating regeneration is not allowed when the system is set to “on 0”, i.e. to immediately regenerate when the gallon capacity reaches zero.

2. Pressing and holding the REGEN button for approximately 3 seconds will immediately start the regeneration. The user cannot cancel this request, except by resetting the control by pressing NEXT and REGEN buttons simultaneously for 3 seconds.

The WS1CH & WS1.25CH control valves consist of the following components:

1. Drive Assembly 6. Drain Line Flow Control and Fitting Assembly

2. Drive Cap Assembly, Main Piston and Regenerant Piston 7. Water Meter or Meter Plug

3. Spacer Stack Assembly 8. Mixing Valve (optional)

4. Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector 9. Installation Fitting Assemblies

5. Reﬁ ll Flow Control Assembly or Reﬁ ll Port Plug 10. Bypass Valve (optional)

Note: The WS1CH & WS1.25CH share many of the same components. Refer to Figure 6 for control valve identiﬁ cation.

See Installer Display Settings, OEM Softener System Setup and OEM Filter System Setup for explanations of Day Override and Gallon Capacity.

Day Override and Gallon Capacity can not both be set to “oFF” at the same time.

The control valve with a water meter can be set for Demand Initiated Regeneration (DIR) only, Time Clock operation only or DIR and Time Clock which ever comes ﬁ rst, depending upon what settings are selected for Day Override and Gallon Capacity.2 See Table 5.

If a control valve does not contain a meter, the valve can only act as a time clock, and day override should be set to any number and gallon capacity should be set to off.

OEM General Instructions

The control valve offers multiple procedures that allow the valve to be modiﬁ ed to suit the needs of the installation. These procedures are:

• OEM Setup

• OEM Softener System Setup

• OEM Filter System Setup

• Installer Display Settings

• User Display Settings

• Diagnostics

• Valve History

Once the OEM Setup has been set, the other procedures can be accessed in any order. Details on each of the procedures are provided on the following pages.

At the discretion of the manufacturer, the ﬁ eld technician can access all settings. To “lock out” access to diagnostic and valve history displays and modiﬁ cations to settings except hardness, day override, time of regeneration and time of day by anyone but the manufacturer, press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and SET CLOCK in sequence after settings are made. To “unlock”, so other displays can be viewed and changes can be made, press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and SET CLOCK in sequence.

When in operation normal user displays such as time of day, gallons remaining before regeneration, days remaining before regeneration or current ﬂ ow rate are shown. When stepping through a procedure, if no buttons are pressed within ﬁ ve minutes, the display returns to a normal user display. Any changes made prior to the ﬁ ve minute time out are incorporated.

To quickly exit OEM Softener Setup, OEM Filter Setup, Installer Display Settings, Diagnostics or Valve History press SET CLOCK. Any changes made prior to the exit are incorporated.

When desired, all information in Diagnostics may be reset to zero when the valve is installed in a new location. To reset to zero, press NEXT and ▼ buttons simultaneously to go to the Service/OEM 1 screen, and release. Press ▲ and ▼ simultaneously to reset diagnostic values to zero. Screen will return to User Display.

Sometimes it is desirable to have the valve initiate and complete two regenerations within 24 hours and then return to the preset regeneration procedure. It is possible to do a double regeneration if the control valve is set to “NORMAL” or “NORMAL + on 0” in OEM Softener System Setup or OEM Filter System Setup. To do a double regeneration:

1. Press the “REGEN” button once. REGEN TODAY will ﬂ ash on the display.

2. Press and hold the “REGEN” button for three seconds until the valve regeneration initiates.

Once the valve has completed the immediate regeneration, the valve will regenerate one more time at the preset regeneration time.

Proportional Brining If the system is set up as a preﬁ ll upﬂ ow softener, the control valve can also be set to normal or proportional brining.

This step will appear after Step 8S and before Step 9S if the system is set up as a preﬁ ll upﬂ ow softener. The following options can

be selected:

• NORMAL FILL - System always preﬁ lls with the salt level selected.

• ProP FILL - If proportional brining is selected the actual salt level ﬁ ll will be calculated by dividing the actual volume treated by the calculated volumetric capacity, then multiply the salt level ﬁ ll selected by this percentage. Press NEXT to go to the next step. Press REGEN to return to the previous step.

Page 8

OEM Cycle Sequence

OEM Cycle Sequence instructions allows the OEM to set meter size, dPswitch or alternating valve, pre or post ﬁ ll and dn or up brine where applicable. Fill and brine values are ignored when the system is set up as a ﬁ lter. The OEM Softener System Setup or the OEM Filter System Setup allow the OEM to set how long cycles will last.

Verify the correct valve body, main piston, regenerant piston, and stack are being used, and that the injector or injector plug(s) are in the correct locations. See Compliance Table in Service Instructions under Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector section and Figure 6.

The following is an example of how to set a valve so that when regeneration is initiated BACKWASH occurs ﬁ rst, dn BRINE occurs second, RINSE occurs third, and FILL occurs fourth.

Step 1C – Press NEXT and ▼ simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. Then press NEXT and ▼ simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. If screen in Step 2C does not appear in 5 seconds the lock on the valve is activated. To unlock press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and SET CLOCK in sequence, then press NEXT and ▼ simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. Then press NEXT and ▼ simultaneously for 3 seconds and release.

STEP 1C

Step 2C – Use the ▲ or ▼ to select 1.0 for WS1CH or 1.25 for WS1.25CH valve. Press NEXT to go to

Step 3C. Press REGEN to exit OEM Cycle Sequence.

STEP 2C

STEP 3C

Step 3C – Allows selection of one of the following:

• an outside signal to initiate a regeneration;

• the Control Valve to act as an alternator; or

• the Control Valve to have no hard water bypass.

Selecting the use of an outside signal to initiate a regeneration: Selection only matters if a connection is made to the two pin connector labeled DP SWITCH located on the printed circuit board. Following is an explanation of the options:

dPon0 - If the dP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 minutes a regeneration will occur immediately.

dPdEL - If the dP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 minutes a regeneration will occur at the scheduled regeneration time.

HoLd - If the dP switch is closed a regeneration will be prevented from occurring.

Selecting the Control Valve to act as an alternator: Note: Also must do one of the following:

• If set up for a softener in Step 9S set Volume Capacity in GALLONS, in Step 10S select Regeneration Time Option “on 0” and in Step 3I select Day Override “oFF”.

• If set up for a ﬁ lter, in Step 8F set Volume Capacity in GALLONS, in Step 9F select Regeneration Time Option “on 0” and in Step 3I select Day Override “oFF”.

Select ALTA for the control valve that has the two pin connector labeled DRIVE connected to the alternator valve motor. Select ALTb for the control valve that will not be connected to the alternator valve motor.

Conﬁ guring the Control Valve for No Hard Water Bypass Operation: Selection requires a connection to a Clack Two Way Motorized Valve or a Clack Motorized Alternator Valve (MAV) is made to the two pin connector labeled ALTERNATOR DRIVE located on the printed circuit board. The Clack Two Way Motorized Valve can be connected to the valve outlet in either direction. The B port of a MAV must be plugged and the valve outlet connected to the A port. The Clack Two Way Motorized Valve or a Clack Motorized Alternator Valve will be driven closed before the ﬁ rst regeneration cycle that is not FILL or SOFTENING or FILTERING, and be driven open after the last regeneration cycle that is not FILL.

Press NEXT to go to Step 4C. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

RETURN TO NORMAL MODE

STEP 4C – Set Reﬁ ll option using ▼ or ▲ buttons:

• “PoST” to reﬁ ll the brine tank after the ﬁ nal rinse; or

• “PrE” to reﬁ ll the brine tank two hours before the regeneration time set. If selecting “Filter” in Step 2F, “POST” should always be selected. Press NEXT to go to Step 5C. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

STEP 5C – Set regenerant downﬂ ow or upﬂ ow using ▼ or ▲ buttons:

• “dn” if the regenerant is to ﬂ ow downward through the media; or

• “UP” if the regenerant is to ﬂ ow upward through the media. Step 2C must be set to 1 for a 1” valve. Prior to selecting a regenerant ﬂ ow direction, verify the correct valve body, main piston, regenerant piston, and stack are being used, and that the injector or injector plug(s) are in the correct locations. See Compliance Table in Service Instructions under Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector section and Figure 6. This screen will not display if the unit is set up as a 1.25”,1.5”,2” or ﬁ lter valve. If selecting “Filter” in Step 2F, “dn” should always be selected. Press NEXT to exit OEM Cycle Sequence. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

User Display Settings

General Operation

When the system is operating, one of ﬁ ve displays may be shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day.

The second display is one of the following: days remaining or volume remaining. Days remaining is the number of days left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. Capacity remaining is the gallons that will be treated before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. Pressing the ▼ button while in the Capacity Remaining display will decrease the capacity remaining in 10 gallon increments and will also increase the volume used impacting the recorded values in Diagnostics Steps 3D, 4D and 5D and Valve History, Step 4VH.

The third display shows the current treated water ﬂ ow rate through the system. The fourth display will show either dP or hold if the dP switch is closed.

The ﬁ fth display indicates the user should call for service. The ﬁ fth display will not appear if OFF is selected in Step 14S of OEM Softener System Setup or Step 13F of OEM Filter System Setup. To clear the Service Call reminder, press the ▲ and ▼ buttons simultaneously while CALL is displayed.

If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the preset time of regeneration, the words REGEN TODAY will appear on the display.

If a water meter is installed, the word “Softening” or “Filtering” ﬂ ashes on the display when water is being treated (i.e. water is ﬂ owing through the system).

REGEN TODAY will Flash if a regeneration is expected “Tonight.”

Regeneration Mode

Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. An example of a time with low water usage is when a household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the system is regenerating, untreated water will be used.

When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to include information about the step of the regeneration process and the time remaining for that step to be completed. The system runs through the steps automatically and will reset itself to provide treated water when the regeneration has been completed.

Page 18

Manual Regeneration

Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than when the system calls for it, usually referred to as manual regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day.

To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, when the regeneration time option is set to “NORMAL” or “NORMAL + on 0”, press and release “REGEN”. The words “REGEN TODAY” will ﬂ ash on the display to indicate that the system will regenerate at the preset delayed regeneration time. If you pressed the “REGEN” button in error, pressing the button again will cancel the request. Note: If the regeneration time option is set to “on 0” there is no set delayed regeneration time so “REGEN TODAY” will not activate if “REGEN” button is pressed.

To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the “REGEN” button for three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. The request cannot be cancelled.

Note: For softeners, if the brine tank does not contain salt, ﬁ ll with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating.

Set Time of Day

The user can also set the time of day. Time of day should only need to be set if the battery has been depleted because of extended power outages or when daylight saving time begins or ends. If an extended power outage occurs, the time of day will ﬂ ash on and off which indicates the time of day should be reset. The non rechargeable battery should also be replaced.

Installation

Refill Flow Control Assembly or Refill Port Plug

Control valves that are setup for backwash only come equipped with a refill port plug. The refill port plug has no regenerant line connection.

Control valves that use a regenerant come equipped with a 3/8” refill flow control assembly. To switch to the ½” refill flow control assembly, remove the refill flow control and retainer (from the 3/8” refill elbow) by twisting and pulling out. Insert the refill flow control and retainer into the ½” refill elbow.

To complete the regenerant line connection, orientate the outlet in the desired direction and push the plastic insert into the polytube. Push the polytube into the nut. Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. The threads for the compression nut do not need Teflon tape. Tighten the nut securely to create a pressure tight connection. A pliers or crescent wrench may be used to tighten or unscrew the nut. The nut, gripper and retainer sleeve is a 3 piece assembly that can come apart if removed from the elbow body. Parts must be reassembled exactly as shown in refill flow control assembly drawing to function properly. If the nut is completely removed from the body, slip the nut, plastic gripper and retainer sleeve on to the tube then tighten on to the fitting.

Drain Line Flow Control and Fitting Assembly

To determine which drain line flow control to use, obtain media bed expansion tables from the media manufacturer, choose a water temperature and look up the desired backwash rate per square foot of bed area. Then calculate the backwash rate using the desired tank diameter. Using Table 7, choose the drain line flow control that has the backwash flow rate closest to the calculated backwash rate. If a manufacturer chooses to use an external drain line flow control, use an elbow fitting that does not contain a hole.

If the drain line is a 5/8” flexible polytube, slide the nut onto the polytube, then place the polytube insert into the end of the polytube and tighten the nut on to the ¾” drain line fitting. The nut is only designed for use with flexible polytube. Use other nuts if attaching different materials.

To access the drain line flow control remove the locking clip by pulling it straight out. Pull fitting out and replace the locking clip so that it is not misplaced. The drain line fitting is pressed in and has an o-ring seal.

In the ¾” elbow, the white flow control retainer is pressed in and has an o-ring seal. The retainer can be removed by rotating and pulling. The flow control can be removed by prying upward with a small blade flat screwdriver in one of the slots on the side. The drain line flow control and retainer can be chemically cleaned in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar, or replaced. Do not use a wire brush to clean the flow control or the washer. The washers are identified with three numbers, which correspond to the flow rate. When reinstalling make sure the identifying number and the rounded inside diameter on the washer is visible when seated in the retainer. The white flow control washer retainer can also be removed and cleaned. Push the retainer in firmly when reinstalling.

In the 1” straight fitting, the retainer is the fitting. Unscrew the nut to access the flow control. The drain line flow control and the fitting can be chemically cleaned or replaced. Do not use a wire brush to clean the flow control or the fitting.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on the black o-ring. Use a pliers or crescent wrench to tighten or unscrew the nut. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nut. Do not use pipe dope or other sealants on threads. Use Teflon tape on the threads of the drain line control fitting when installing ¾” NPT or 1” straight fitting.

Page 23

Installation Fitting Assemblies

The installation fittings connect to the control valve or the bypass valve using nuts that only require hand tightening. Hand tighten nut connections between control valve and installation fittings, control valve and bypass valve, and bypass valve and installation fittings allow for easy serviceability. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nuts on installation fittings. Hand tighten only.

The split ring retainer design holds the nut on and allows load to be spread over the entire nut surface area, reducing the chance for leakage. The split ring design, incorporated into the installation fittings allows approximately 2 degrees off axis alignment to the plumbing system. The installation fittings are designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but are not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.

When assembling the installation fitting package, connect the fitting to the plumbing system first and then attach the nut, split ring and o-ring. Heat from soldering or solvent cements may damage the nut, split ring or o-ring. Solder joints should be cool and solvent cements should be set before installing the nut, split ring and o-ring. Avoid getting primer and solvent cement on any part of the o-rings, split rings, bypass valve or control valve. Solvent cements and primers should be used in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

Slip the nut onto the fitting first, then the split ring second and the o-ring last. Hand tighten the nut. If the fitting is leaking tightening the nut will not stop the leak. Remove the nut, remove the fitting, and check for damage or misalignment of the o-ring.

Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Use teflon tape on threaded inlet, outlet and drain fittings. Teflon tape is not necessary on the nut connection or caps because of o-ring seals.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings.

Bypass Valve

The bypass valve easily connects to the control valve body using nuts that only require hand tightening. Hand tighten nut connections between control valve and fittings, control valve and bypass valve, and bypass valve and installation fittings allow for easy serviceability. The split ring retainer design holds the nut on and allows load to be spread over the entire nut surface area, reducing the chance for leakage. The split ring design incorporated into the bypass allows approximately 2 degrees off axis alignment to the plumbing system. The bypass is designed to accommodate minor plumbing misalignments but is not designed to support the weight of a system or the plumbing.

Avoid getting primer and solvent cements on any part of the o-rings or split rings, bypass valve or control valve. Do not use pipe dope or other sealant on threads. Teflon tape is not necessary on the caps because of o-ring seals.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on black o-rings.

Mixing Valve

The mixing valve is an option on the control valve. If the control valve is ordered with a mixing valve it will be installed in the control valve assembly process.

To adjust the blended water, close the mixing valve. Open a water faucet to the desired flow rate. Open the mixing valve until the desired hardness is reached. Close the faucet.

Note: The use of the mixing valve requires modification to the valve body. These modifications should not be done in the field.

Service Instructions

Drive Assembly

Remove the valve cover to access the drive assembly.

Disconnect the power source plug (black wire) from the PC board prior to disconnecting the motor or water meter plugs from the PC board. The power source plug connects to the four-pin jack. The motor plug connects to the two-pin jack on the left-hand side of the PC board. The water meter plug (gray wire) connects to the three-pin jack on the far right-hand side of the PC board.

The PC board can be removed separately from the drive bracket but it is not recommended. Do not attempt to remove the display panel from the PC board. Handle the board by the edges. To remove the PC board from the drive bracket, unplug the power, water meter and motor plugs from the PC board. Lift the middle latch along the top of the drive bracket while pulling outward on the top of the PC board. The drive bracket has two plastic pins that fit into the holes on the lower edge of the PC board. Once the PC board is tilted about 45° from the drive bracket it can be lifted off of these pins. To reinstall the PC board, position the lower edge of the PC board so that the holes in the PC board line up with the plastic pins. Push the top of the PC board towards the valve until it snaps under the middle latch, weave the power and water meter wires into the holders and reconnect the motor, water meter and power plugs.

The drive bracket must be removed to access the drive cap assembly and pistons or the drive gear cover. It is not necessary to remove the PC board from the drive bracket to remove the drive bracket. To remove the drive bracket start by removing the plugs for the power source and the water meter. Unweave the wires from the side holders. Two tabs on the top of the drive back plate hold the drive bracket in place. Simultaneously lift the two tabs and gently ease the top of the drive bracket forward. The lower edge of the drive bracket has two notches that rest on the drive back plate. Lift up and outward on the drive bracket to disengage the notches.

To reassemble, seat the bottom of the drive bracket so the notches are engaged at the bottom of the drive back plate. Push the top of the drive bracket toward the two latches. The drive bracket may have to be lifted slightly to let the threaded piston rod pass through the hole in the drive bracket. Maintain a slight engaging force on top of the drive bracket while deflecting the bracket slightly to the left by pressing on the side of the upper right corner. This helps the drive gears mesh with the drive cap assembly. The drive bracket is properly seated when it snaps under the latches on the drive back plate. If resistance is felt before latching, then notches are not fully engaged, the piston rod is not in hole, the wires are jammed between the drive bracket and drive back plate, or the gear is not engaging the drive cap assembly.

To inspect the drive gears, the drive gear cover needs to be removed. Before trying to remove the gear cover, the drive bracket must be removed from the drive back plate. (Refer to the instructions above regarding removing the drive bracket from the drive back plate. The drive gear cover can be removed from the drive bracket without removing the motor or the PC board.) The drive gear cover is held in place on the drive bracket by three clips. The largest of the three clips is always orientated to the bottom of the drive bracket. With the PC board facing up, push in and down on the large clip on the drive gear cover. Handle the cover and the gears carefully so that the gears do not fall off the pegs in the cover.

Replace broken or damaged drive gears. Do not lubricate any of the gears. Avoid getting any foreign matter on the reflective coating because dirt or oils may interfere with pulse counting.

The drive gear cover only fits on one way, with the large clip orientated towards the bottom. If all three clips are outside of the gear shroud on the drive bracket the drive gear cover slips easily into place.

The drive bracket does not need to be removed from the drive plate if the motor needs to be removed. To remove the motor, disconnect the power and motor plugs from the jacks on the PC board. Move the spring clip loop to the right and hold. Rotate the motor at least a ¼ turn in either direction so the wires are vertical (up & down) before gently pulling on the wire connectors to remove the motor. Pulling directly on the wires without rotating the motor may break the wires off the motor.

Page 25

Figure 5

Replace the motor if necessary. Do not lubricate the motor or the gears. To reinstall the motor, move the spring clip loop to the right and hold. Gently turn the motor while inserting so that the gear on the motor meshes with the gears under the drive gear cover. Release the spring clip loop and continue to rotate the motor until the wires are horizontal and the motor housing engages the small plastic bulge inside the drive bracket motor retainer. Reconnect the motor plug to the two-pronged jack on the lower left side of the PC board. If the motor will not easily engage with the drive gears when reinstalling, lift and slightly rotate the motor before reinserting. Reconnect the power plug.

Replace the valve cover. After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position. The display should flash all wording, then flash the software version and then reset the valve to the service position.

Drive Cap Assembly, Main Piston and Regenerant Piston

The drive assembly must be removed to access the drive cap assembly. The drive cap assembly must be removed to access the piston(s). The drive cap assembly is threaded into the control valve body and seals with an o-ring. To remove the drive cap assembly use the special plastic wrench or insert a ¼” to ½” flat blade screwdriver into one of the slots around the top 2” of the drive cap assembly so it engages the notches molded into the drive back plate around the top 2” of the piston cavity. See Figure 5. The notches are visible through the holes. Lever the screwdriver so the drive cap assembly turns counter clockwise. Once loosened unscrew the drive cap assembly by hand and pull straight out.

The drive cap assembly contains the drive cap, the main drive gear, drive cap spline, piston rod and various other parts that should not be dissembled in the field. The only replaceable part on the drive cap assembly is the o-ring. Attached to the drive cap assembly is the main piston (downflow or upflow) and if a regenerant is used, a regenerant piston.

Page 26

The regenerant piston (the small diameter one behind the main piston) is removed from the main piston by pressing sideways and unsnapping it from its latch. Chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar, or replace the regenerant piston if needed. To remove the main downflow or upflow piston fully extend the piston rod and then unsnap the main piston from its latch by pressing on the side with the number. Chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar, or replace the main piston.

Reattach the main piston to the drive cap assembly. Reattach the regenerant piston (if needed) to the main piston. Do not lubricate the piston rod, main piston or regenerant piston. Lubricant will adversely affect the clear lip seals. Reinsert the drive cap assembly and piston into the spacer stack assembly and hand tighten the drive cap assembly. Continue to tighten the drive cap assembly using a screwdriver as a ratchet until the black o-ring on the spacer stack assembly is no longer visible through the drain port. Excessive force can break the notches molded into the drive back plate. Make certain that the main drive gear still turns freely. The exact position of the piston is not important as long as the main drive gear turns freely.

Reattach the drive assembly to the control valve and connect all plugs. After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position. The display should flash all wording, then flash the software version and then reset the valve to the service position.

Note: Refer to Figure 6 to identify main piston.

Spacer Stack Assembly

(Refer to Figure 6 for WS1CH & WS1.25CH spacer stack identification.)

To access the spacer stack assembly remove the drive assembly, drive cap assembly and piston. The spacer stack assembly can be removed easily without tools by using thumb and forefinger. Inspect the black o-rings and clear lip seals for wear or damage. Replace the entire stack if necessary. Do not disassemble the WS1CH or WS1.25CH stack.

The spacer stack assembly may be chemically cleaned (dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar) or wiped with a soft cloth.

The spacer stack assembly can be pushed in to the control valve body bore by hand. Since the spacer stack assembly can be compressed it is easier to use a blunt object (5/8” to 1-1/8” in diameter) to push the center of the assembly into the control valve body. The assembly is properly seated when at least four threads are exposed (approximately 5/8”). Do not force the spacer stack assembly in. The control valve body bore interior can be lubricated with silicone to allow for easy insertion of the entire stack. Do not use silicone or any other type of lubricant on the clear lip seals or the piston.

Reattach the drive cap assembly and piston(s) and the drive assembly.

After completing any valve maintenance, press and hold NEXT and REGEN buttons for 3 seconds or unplug power source jack (black wire) and plug back in. This resets the electronics and establishes the service piston position. The display should flash all wording, then flash the software version and then reset the valve to the service position.

Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug and Injector

Unscrew the injector cap and lift off. Loosen cap with special plastic wrench or pliers if necessary. Attached to the injector cap is a screen. Remove the screen and clean if fouled.

The plug and/or injector can be pried out with a small screwdriver. The plug can be wiped clean. If the plug leaks replace the entire plug. The injector consists of a throat and a nozzle. Chemically clean the injector with vinegar or sodium bisulfite. The holes can be blown out with air. Both pieces have small diameter holes that control the flow rates of water to insure that the proper concentration of regenerant is used. Sharp objects, which can score the plastic, should not be used to clean the injector. Scoring the injector or increasing the diameter of the hole could change the operating parameters of the injector.

Refill Flow Control Assembly or Refill Port Plug

To clean or replace the refill flow control, pull out the elbow-locking clip and then pull straight up on the elbow. Replace the elbow locking clip in the slot so that it is not misplaced. Twist to remove the white flow control retainer. The flow control can be removed by prying upward through the side slots of the retainer with a small flat blade screwdriver.

Chemically clean the flow control or the white flow control retainer using dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar. Do not use a wire brush. If necessary, replace the flow control, o-ring on the flow control retainer, or the o-ring on the elbow.

Reseat the flow control so the rounded end is visible in the flow control. Reseat the white flow control retainer by pushing the retainer into the elbow until the o-ring seats. Remove locking clip, push down on elbow to reseat and insert locking clip.

Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on the o-ring on the elbow or the white retainer.

Water Meter or Meter Plug

The water meter assembly is connected to the PC board by a wire. If the entire water meter assembly is to be replaced, remove the control valve cover and disconnect the power source and water meter plugs from the PC board. Unlatch the drive assembly and lean it forward. Unthread the water meter wire from the side of the drive assembly and through the drive back plate. To reinstall, rethread the water meter wire through the drive back plate and the side of the drive assembly. Reattach the drive assembly and the water meter and power plugs.

THIS WATER METER SHOULD NOT BE USED AS THE PRIMARY MONITORING DEVICE FOR CRITICAL HEALTH EFFECT APPLICATIONS.

If no water meter wire is visible, then a plug is installed, not a water meter.

The water meter wire does not need to be removed from the PC board if the water meter is only being inspected and cleaned. To remove the water meter assembly, unscrew the meter cap on the left side of the control valve. Pliers may be used to unscrew the nut if necessary.

With the nut removed, a slot at the top of the water meter is visible. Twist a flat blade screwdriver in the slot between the control valve body and the meter. When the meter is part way out it is easy to remove the water meter from the housing. Once the water meter is removed from the control valve body, gently pull forward on the turbine to remove it from the shaft.

Page 28

Do not use a wire brush to clean the turbine. Wipe with a clean cloth or chemically clean in dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar. The turbine can be immersed in the chemical. Do not immerse electronics. If the turbine is scored or damaged or the bearings on the turbine are worn, replace the turbine.

Do not lubricate the turbine shaft. The turbine shaft bearings are prelubricated. Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on the o-ring. A silicone lubricant may be used on the black o-ring.

Snap the turbine on the shaft and reinsert the water meter into the side slot. Hand tighten the nut. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten nut.

Mixing Valve

To clean or replace the mixing valve, unthread the mixing valve from the valve body. Chemically clean the mixing valve with a dilute sodium bisulfite or vinegar solution. Do not use Vaseline, oils, or other unacceptable lubricants on o-rings. A silicone lubricant may be used on the o-ring. Before replacing the mixing valve in the valve body turn the knob clockwise so that the mixing valve is in the open position. Failure to do this may cause damage to the mixing valve when it is screwed in to the valve body.

To adjust the blended water, close the mixing valve. Open a water faucet to the desired flow rate. Open the mixing valve until the desired hardness is reached. Close the faucet.

Bypass Valve

The working parts of the bypass valve are the rotor assemblies that are contained under the bypass valve caps. Before working on the rotors, make sure the system is depressurized. Turn the red arrow shaped handles towards the center of the bypass valve and back several times to ensure rotor is turning freely.

The nuts and caps are designed to be unscrewed or tightened by hand. If necessary a pliers can be used to unscrew the nut or cap. Do not use a pipe wrench to tighten or loosen nuts or caps. Do not place screwdriver in slots on caps and/or tap with a hammer. To access the rotor, unscrew the cap and lift the cap, rotor and handle out as one unit. Twisting the unit as you pull it out will help to remove it more easily. There are three o-rings: one under the rotor cap, one on the rotor stem and the rotor seal. Replace worn o-rings. Clean rotor. Reinstall rotor.

When reinstalling the red arrow handles be sure that:

1. The handle pointers are lined up with the control valve body arrows, and the rotor seal o-ring and retainer on both rotors face to the right when being viewed from the front of the control valve; or

2. Arrows point toward each other in the bypass position.

Since the handles can be pulled off, they could be accidentally reinstalled 180° from their correct orientation. To install the red arrow handles correctly, keep the handles pointed in the same direction as the arrows engraved on the control valve body while tightening the bypass valve caps.

A unique feature of this control valve is the ability to display actual water usage for the last 63 days. The values are initially stored as “----”. This means the value is unknown. As days pass values are stored as “0” for no ﬂ ow or the actual number of gallons. The counting of the gallons starts at the regeneration time. If no regeneration time can be set (i.e. when the valve is set for immediate regeneration) the counting of gallons starts at 12 a.m. Day 1 is yesterday, day 2 the day before yesterday, etc. As new values are added the oldest history disappears.

Another unique feature is that the valve automatically calculates a reserve capacity when set up as a softener with “Gallons Capacity” set to “AUTO” and the “Regeneration Time Option” set to “DELAY REGEN” or “DELAY + IMMEDIATE”. The actual reserve capacity is compared to the gallons capacity remaining immediately prior to the preset regeneration time. A regeneration will occur if the actual reserve capacity is less than the gallons capacity remaining. The actual reserve capacity is calculated by using the estimated reserve capacity and adjusting it up or down for actual usage.

The estimated reserve capacity for a given day of the week is the maximum value stored for the last three non-trivial water usages (i.e. more than 20 gallons/day) in seven day intervals.

See Installer Display Settings, OEM Softener System Setup and OEM Filter System Setup for explanations of Day Override and Gallon Capacity.

Days to REGEN and Gallon Capacity can not both be set to “OFF” at the same time.

Page 49

Once the OEM Cycle Sequence has been set, the other procedures can be accessed in any order. Details on each of the procedures are provided on the following pages.

To “lock out” access to diagnostic and valve history displays and modiﬁ cations to settings except hardness, day override, time of regeneration and time of day by anyone but the manufacturer, press W, NEXT, V, and CLOCK in sequence after settings are made. To “unlock”, so other displays can be viewed and changes can be made, press W, NEXT, V, and CLOCK in sequence.

When in operation normal user displays such as time of day, volume remaining before regeneration, present ﬂ ow rate or days remaining before regeneration are shown. When stepping through a procedure, if no buttons are pressed within ﬁ ve minutes, the display returns to a normal user display. Any changes made prior to the ﬁ ve minute time out are incorporated.

To quickly exit OEM Softener Setup, OEM Filter Setup, Installer Display Settings, Diagnostics or Valve History press CLOCK. Any changes made prior to the exit are incorporated.

To clear the Service Call reminder, press Vand Wsimultaneously while CALL is displayed.

W simultaneously to reset programming and diagnostic values to zero. Screen will return to User Display.

Sometimes it is desirable to have the valve initiate and complete two regenerations within 24 hours and then return to the preset regeneration procedure. It is possible to do a double regeneration if the control valve is set to “DELAYED REGEN” or “DELAY + IMMEDIATE” in OEM Softener System Setup or OEM Filter System Setup. To do a double regeneration:

1. Press the “REGEN” button once. REGEN TODAY will ﬂ ash on the display.

2. Press and hold the “REGEN” button for three seconds until the valve regeneration initiates.

Once the valve has completed the immediate regeneration, the valve will regenerate one more time at the preset regeneration time.

Proportional Brining

If the system is set up as a preﬁ ll 1” upﬂ ow softener the control valve can also be set to normal or proportional brining.

This step will appear after Step 8S and before Step 9S if the system is set up as a preﬁ ll upﬂ ow softener. The following options can be selected:

• NORMAL FILL - System always preﬁ lls with the salt level selected.

• PROPORTIONAL FILL - If proportional brining is selected, the actual salt ﬁ ll time will be calculated by dividing the actual volume of treated water used by the full volumetric capacity, then multiplying this value by the maximum salt ﬁ ll time.

Press NEXT to go to the next step. Press REGEN to return to the previous step.

STEP 1CS

OEM Conﬁ guration Setup

Step 1CS – Press NEXT and W simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. Then press NEXT and W

simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. If screen in Step 2CS does not appear in 5 seconds the lock on the valve is activated. To unlock press W, NEXT, V, and CLOCK in sequence, then press NEXT and W simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. Then press NEXT and W simultaneously for 3 seconds and release.

Step 2CS – Use the Vor W to select 1.0 for 1” valve, 1.25 for 1.25” valve, 1.5 for 1.5” valve, 2.0L for 2L valve or 2.0 for 2” valve

. Press NEXT to go to Step 3CS. Press REGEN to exit OEM cycle sequence.

Step 3CS – When 2.0L or 2.0 is selected, an additional screen will appear. It is used to select which size ﬂ ow meter is to be used with the valve, 1.5, 2.0 or 3.0. Variable meter pulses of 0.1-150.0 PPG can also be selected. Press NEXT to go to Step 4CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

STEP 2CS

When using the WS2 control valve, the circuit board software must have valve selection choices of 2.0 and 2.0L. The WS2 valve must be set for the 2.0 valve type during programming. If the software version does not have both the 2.0 and 2.0L selections, consult your equipment supplier for a replacement circuit board. When using the WS2L valve with older version software that does not have both 2.0 and 2.0L selection choices, the valve must be set to 2.0 during programming. If a WS2L valve is being used with newer version software that has both 2.0 and 2.0L selection choices, the valve must be set to 2.0L during programming.

Note: When using the WS2 valve, if “2.0L” is set instead of “2.0”, when the valve is in regeneration and the piston drives to the “DRAW” cycle the piston will stall and generate a 102 error code. Clear the error code by pressing “NEXT” and “REGEN” buttons simultaneously until the valve resets, then re-program valve to proper valve type setting.

STEP 3CS

Page 51

Step 4CS – Allows selection of one of the following using the V or W buttons:

• the Control Valve to act as an alternator; or

• the Control Valve to have a no hard water bypass: 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.

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 function or separate source.

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 “INTERCONNECT”. Also connect the meter cord to either control valve

to the three pin connector labeled “METER”.

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 conﬁ guration 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 conﬁ guration, 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.

Conﬁ guring 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 DRIVE 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 Bypass the MAV will be driven closed before the ﬁ rst 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 remain in its current state until the error is corrected and reset.

Step 4CS (continued) – If set up for a ﬁ lter, in Step 7F set Volume Capacity in Gallons; in Step 8F select Regeneration Time Option “Immediate”; and in Step 3I select Day Override “oFF”.

For Clack Corporation alternator systems using WS1, WS1.25, WS1.5, and WS2L valves there will be an option to delay the last two cycles of regeneration (only “Rinse” and “Fill”). This feature splits the regeneration into two portions. The ﬁ rst portion of the regeneration will start immediately and all programmed cycles before the “Rinse” and “Fill” cycles will be performed. After all programmed cycles before “Rinse” and “Fill” are completed the control valve will drive to the service position (displaying “Delayed Rinse + Fill Pending”). When the volume of the on-line unit is depleted to 10% of its programmed capacity, the control valve will be triggered to ﬁ nish the second portion of the regeneration. Once “Rinse” and “Fill” are completed, the valve will re-enter Standby mode until requested to come on-line for Service.

For Clack Corporation alternator systems using the WS2 valve, when NEXT is pressed after selecting ALT A or ALT B, a display will allow the user to set the amount of pre-service rinse time for the stand by tank just prior to returning to service.

Va lv e

Conﬁ guring 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 DRIVE 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 ﬁ rst 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 remain in its current state until the error is corrected and reset.

Conﬁ guring the Control Valve to operate with Clack System Controller: Select System Board Enabled 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.

Press NEXT to go to Step 5CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

STEP 5CS

Step 5CS – Set Auxiliary Drive Output (MAV only) to operate in one of two modes:

• TIME – Output is activated at a set time after the start of regeneration, for a speciﬁ ed length of time.

• Set SEP SOURCE: Allows Auxiliary MAV to switch positions before the start of regeneration and then switch back at the end of regeneration.

• Set OFF: Deactivates this output.

Only use 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 TIME or SEPARATE SOURCE functions.

Press NEXT to go to Step 6CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Page 54

Step 6CS – This allows the use of an outside signal to control the initiation of a regeneration. Selection only matters if a connection is made to the two pin connector labeled DP SWITCH located on the printed circuit board. Following is an explanation of the options:

oFF – Feature not used.

NOTE: In a twin alternating system each control must have a separate dP signal or dP switch. One dP signal or one dP switch cannot be used for both controls.

IMMED REG – If the dP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 minutes a regeneration will be signaled to the unit. In a twin alternating system the MAV will transition ﬁ rst to switch units so that the signaled unit can start regeneration. After the MAV is fully transitioned the regeneration begins immediately. Note: For WS1 – WS2L control valves programmed for twin alternating: if the dP function “IMMED REG” is set, the Delayed Rinse and Fill feature is not available.

DELAY REG – If the dP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 minutes a regeneration will occur at the scheduled delayed regeneration time. In a twin alternating system once the dP switch is triggered the PC Board will display “REGEN TODAY” and when the delayed regen time comes the control will switch tanks and the triggered unit will then go into regeneration. Note: For WS1 – WS2L control valves programmed for twin alternating: if the dP function “DELAY REG” is set, the Delayed Rinse and Fill feature is not available.

HOLD REG – If the dP switch is closed a regeneration will be prevented from occurring while there is switch closure. In a twin alternating system the regeneration of a unit can be prevented upon switch closure. If the unit depletes the capacity down to zero it will not be allowed to switch tanks to regenerate until the switch is open. Note: For WS1 – WS2L control valves programmed for twin alternating the Delayed Rinse and Fill feature can be set in conjunction with the “HOLD REG” if desired.

Press NEXT to go to Step 7CS (if 1.5IN was selected in Step 2CS) or to exit Conﬁ guration Setup. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Step 8S –Set Grains Capacity using the V or W button. The ion exchange capacity is in grains of hardness as

calcium carbonate for the system based on the pounds of salt that will be used. Calculate the pounds of salt using the ﬁ ll time previously selected. Grains capacity is affected by the ﬁ ll time. The grains capacity for the selected ﬁ ll time should be conﬁ rmed by OEM testing. The capacity and hardness levels entered are used to automatically calculate reserve capacity when volume capacity is set to AUTO. Press NEXT to go to Step 9S. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Step 9S – Set Volume Capacity using the V or W button. If value is set to:

• “AUTO” capacity will be automatically calculated and reserve capacity will be automatically estimated;

• “OFF” regeneration will be based solely on the day override set (see Installer Display Settings Step 3I); or

• a number, regeneration initiation will be based off the value speciﬁ ed. If “OFF” or a number is used, hardness display will not be allowed to be set in Installer Display Settings Step 2I. If “OFF” is selected, Regeneration Time is automatically “Delayed”, so Step 10S will not appear. See Setting Options Table for more detail. Press NEXT to go to Step 10S. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Step 10S – Set Regeneration Time Options using the W or V button. If value is set to:

• “DELAYED REGEN” means regeneration will occur at the preset time;

• “IMMEDIATE” means regeneration will occur immediately when the volume capacity reaches 0 (zero); or

• “DELAY + IMMEDIATE” means regeneration will occur at one of the following: — the preset time when the volume capacity falls below the reserve or the speciﬁ ed number of days between

regenerations is reached whichever comes ﬁ rst; or

— immediately after 10 minutes of no water usage when the volume capacity reaches 0 (zero). “DELAYED REGEN is the default if Step 4CS is set to ALTA or ALTB, and “DELAY + IMMEDIATE” will not be available. See Setting Options Table for more detail. Press NEXT to go to Step 11S. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Step 11S: Set Relay 1 operation using the V or W button. The choices are:

• Set REGEN TIME: Relay activates after a set time at the beginning of a regeneration and then deactivates after a set period of time. The start of regeneration is deﬁ ned as the ﬁ rst backwash cycle or Regenerant Draw UP (1” only) or DN, which ever comes ﬁ rst.

• Set VOLUME: Relay activates after a set number of gallons have been used while in service and then deactivates after a set period of time or after the meter stops registering ﬂ ow, whichever comes ﬁ rst.

• Set REGEN VOLUME: Relay activates after a set number of gallons have been used while in service or during regeneration and then deactivates after a set period of time or after the meter stops registering ﬂ ow, whichever comes ﬁ rst.

General Operation

When the system is operating, one of six displays may be shown. The displays normally rotate, however pressing NEXT will pause on the selected display for 5 minutes. Pressing NEXT will alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day. The second display is one of the following: days remaining or volume remaining. Days to a Regen is the number of days left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. Capacity remaining is the gallons that will be treated before the system goes through a regeneration cycle. Pressing the W button while in the Capacity Remaining display will decrease the capacity remaining in 10 gallon increments and will also increase the volume used impacting the recorded values in Diagnostics Steps 3D, 4D and 5D and Valve History, Step 4VH. The third display shows the current treated water ﬂ ow rate through the system. The fourth display will display the phone number and banner text if it was edited. For concerns with phone number or banner text displays, contact OEM for instructions. The ﬁ fth display will show either dP or hold if the dP switch is closed. The sixth display indicates the user should call for service. The sixth display will not appear if OFF is selected in Step 17S of OEM Softener System Setup. To clear the Service Call reminder, press the Vand Wbuttons simultaneously while the number and banner text screen is displayed. If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the preset time of regeneration, the words REGEN TODAY will alternate with the header on the display. If a water meter is installed, GPM ﬂ ashes on the display when water is being treated (i.e. water is ﬂ owing through the system).

Flow indicator will display while water is being treated.

DELAYED RINSE+FILL PENDING will be displayed whenever a zero-capacity tank has transferred to an off-line state and is currently waiting to initiate the second portion of a regeneration cycle. Viewed only when Delayed Rinse and Fill is set to ON.

REGEN PENDING will be displayed in Alternator Systems whenever a unit is waiting to initiate the ﬁ rst cycle step of regeneration.
