Placing Conditioner Into Operation (Turning On The Water) - Autotrol 255 Manuel D'utilisation

PLACING CONDITIONER INTO OPERATION (turning on the water)

Conditioner and FA Filter Start-Up
En
After you have performed the previous initial power-up steps, you
will need to place the conditioner into operation. Follow these steps
carefully, as they differ from previous Autotrol valve instructions.
WARNING: Do not rotate the camshaft by hand or damage to the unit may
occur. Use the controller to step the camshaft electronically through the
cycles.
1. Remove the cover from the valve. Removing the cover will allow
you to see that the camshaft is turning, and in which cycle the
camshaft is currently positioned.
2. With the supply water for the system still turned off, position
the bypass valve to the "not in bypass" (normal operation) position.
3. Hold the REGEN button on the controller down for 5 seconds.
This will initiate a manual regeneration.
The controller will indicate that the motor is turning the
camshaft to the cycle C1 (Backwash) position by flashing an
hourglass. The controller will display the total regen time
remaining.
If you press and hold the SET button, the controller will indicate
the time remaining in the current cycle.
4. Fill the media tank with water.
A. While the controller is in cycle C1 (Backwash), open the
water supply valve very slowly to approximately the
1/4 open position.
WARNING: If opened too rapidly or too far, media may be lost out of the tank
into the valve or the plumbing. In the 1/4 open position, you should hear air
slowly escaping from the valve drain line.
B. When all of the air has been purged from the media tank
(water begins to flow steadily from the drain line), open the
main supply valve all of the way. This will purge the final air
from the tank.
C. Allow water to run to drain until the water runs clear from the
drain line. This purges any refuse from the media bed.
D. Turn off the water supply and let the system stand for about
five minutes. This will allow any air trapped to escape from
the tank.
