Aqua-Pure AWS150M - Manual (Page 10)

BRINE LINE CONNECTION
The brine line to the brine tank connects to the valve. Make the connections and tighten (See Figure 4). Be sure that the brine
line is secure and free from air leak. Even a small leak may cause the brine line to drain out, and the conditioner will not draw
brine from the tank. This may also introduce air into the valve causing problems with valve operation.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTION
All AWS controllers operate on 12-volt alternating current power supply. This requires use of the supplied AC adapter.
AC ADAPTERS
Make sure power source matches the rating printed on the AC adapter.
IMPORTANT NOTE
The power source should be constant. Be certain the AC adapter is not on a switched outlet. Power interruptions longer than 8 hours may cause the controller
to lose the time and day settings. When power is restored, the day and time settings must then be reentered.
CAMSHAFT
The front end of the camshaft has an indicator cup. The cup has slots in the outer periphery and numbers on the inside
face. The numbers can be seen with the cover off, from the front over the top of the controller. The number at the top
indicates which regeneration cycle is currently in progress (See Figure 5).
CAMSHAFT FRONT END
The corresponding slot for the number is positioned at the optical sensor which is approximately 90 degrees out of phase.
Regeneration Cycle Indicators
C0 = Treated Water - normal operation mode
C1 = Backwash Cycle
C2 = Brine Draw Cycle
C3 = Slow Rinse Cycle
C4 = System Pause
C5 = Fast Rinse Cycle 1
C6 = Backwash Cycle 2
C7 = Fast Rinse Cycle 2
C8 = Brine Refi ll
POWER LOSS MEMORY RETENTION
The AWS series controllers feature battery-free time and date retention during the loss of power. This is designed to last a minimum of 8 hours depending on the
installation. The controller will continue to keep time and day in dynamic memory while there is no AC power.
The controller will not track water usage on volumetric demand controls in the event of a power failure.
All programmed parameters are stored in the static memory and will not be lost in the event of a power failure. These settings are maintained separately from the
time and day settings.
Information entered or calculated by the controller is stored in two different ways:
A static memory will store:
Media volume
Regenerant setting
Time of regeneration
Days between regeneration
A dynamic memory with 8 hour retention will store:
Current day of week
Running clock
