START-UP OF YOUR SOFTENER
Preliminary check of hydraulic parameters of the valve
This step must have been done by your OEM. You need to check that there is no mistake. In
fact, every setting stored in the electronic is largely dependant of hydraulic parameters
(injector/backwash) installed on the valve.
Please check that you are using the correct injector and backwash control in accordance with
the used pressure tank (see table page 14).
Initial start-up step-by-step instructions
Step 2 - Placing conditioner into operation (conditioner start-up)
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.
Step 1 - Program system size
This step may be performed by your system's OEM manufacturer.
In this case, proceed to step 2.
Input system size - resine volume - in cubic feet or liters.
●
Use UP and DOWN buttons to scroll through resin volume
●
choices.
Choose the nearest volume to your actual system size.
●
To choose a 3-cycle filter operation - press the DOWN button
●
until an "F" is displayed.
Press the SET button to accept the system size you've selected.
●
If incorrect setting is programmed, see "Resetting the control"
on page 15.
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.
