IV. Programming

Figure 6 shows the icons and display characters of the timer mecha-

nism.

When the Master Programming Mode is entered, all available option/

setting/displays may be viewed and set as needed. Depending on

current option settings, some parameters cannot be viewed or set.

This timer is used on other system configurations as well so it is

important that the user carefully programs the system in accordance

with the values shown on the Master Programming Chart.

A. Setting the Time of Day

1. Press and hold either the Up or Down buttons until the pro-

gramming icon replaces the service icon and the parameter

display reads TD.

2. Adjust the displayed time with the Up and Down buttons.
3. When the desired time is set, press the Extra Cycle button to

resume normal operation. The unit will also return to normal

operation after 5 seconds if no buttons are pressed.

B. Entering Master Programming Mode

The master level programming has been set at the factory however

you should check the program against the Master Programming

Chart. With the control valve in the service position set the Time

Of Day display to 12:01 P.M. Press the Extra Cycle button (to exit

Setting Time of Day mode). Then press and hold the Up and Down

buttons together until the programming icon replaces the service

icon and the Display Format "DF" screen appears. Once you are in

the master programming screen, pressing the extra cycle button

will advance the controller to the next parameter. Pressing the up or

down buttons allows the user adjust each parameter’s value up or

down respectively.

C. Exiting Master Programming Mode

Press the Extra Cycle button to accept the displayed settings and

advance to the next parameter. Press the Extra Cycle button at the

last parameter to save all settings and return to normal operation.

The control will automatically disregard any programming changes

and return to normal operation if it is left in Master Programming

mode for 5 minutes without any keypad input.

V. Controller Operation

The factory default program settings should be adequate for most

installations.

A. Queueing a Regeneration

1. Press the Extra Cycle button. The service icon will flash to

indicate that a regeneration is queued. Regeneration will occur

that day at the programmed Regeneration Time (RT).

2. To cancel a queued regeneration, press the Extra Cycle button.

B. Regenerating Immediately

Press and hold the Extra Cycle button for five seconds.
Time Clock Delayed Control
A Time Clock Delayed Control regenerates the system on a timed

interval. The control will initiate a regeneration cycle at the pro-

grammed regeneration time when the number of days since the last

regeneration equals the regeneration day override value.
Control Operation During Regeneration
During regeneration, the control displays a special regeneration dis-

play. In this display, the control shows the current regeneration step

number, the valve it is advancing to, or has reached, and the time

remaining in that step. The step number that displays flashes until

the valve completes driving to this regeneration step position. Once

all regeneration steps are completed the valve returns to service and

resumes normal operation.
Pressing the Extra Cycle button during a regeneration cycle immedi-

ately advances the valve to the next cycle step position and resumes

normal step timing.
Control Operation During Programming
The control only enters the Program Mode with the valve in ser-

vice. While in the Program Mode, the control continues to operate

normally monitoring water usage and keeping all displays up to date.

Control programming is stored in memory permanently, eliminating

the need for battery backup power.
