Fully Operational

C.Observe that water is being drawn from the regenerant tank for at least three minutes. If the water level does not recede, check all regenerant line connections for air leaks.

8.If the water level is receding from the regenerant tank you can quick cycle the control to the C8 Regenerant tank refill position.

A.The control will cycle to the regenerant tank refill cycle, and water will be directed down through the regenerant line to the regenerant tank. Let the water flow through the line until all air bubbles have been purged from the line. Note: Do not let the water flow down the line to the tank for more than one to two minutes, or the tank may overfill.

9.Repeat steps 4 and 8 for each additional tank.

10.Finally, turn on a faucet plumbed after the water conditioner. Run the faucet until the water runs clear.

11.Add the appropriate amount of regenerant to regenerant tank.

The Water Conditioning System is Now

Note: After any control reset (valve type or system change, etc.) it is necessary to initiate a manual regeneration and quick cycle through it. This will ensure the control and cam are synchronized. If not synchronized err# will display and the control will drive cams to the correct position for valve and system type programmed.

Quick Cycling the Control for 255A Systems

It is required that the control be quick cycled to specific regeneration cycles when placing the conditioner into operation. This will ensure that all of the air in the tank and valve is purged. The process also provides a check for leaks and functioning of the brine system.

After the initial power up and programming, tank 1 will be in standby and tank 2 will be in service.

Before the final filling of the media tanks with water, check that:

–the nearest water faucet is completely closed.

–the valve drain line is properly routed to a drain.

–the regenerant tank is empty and the regenerant hose is connected to the valve.

–the water supply valve is partially open

–valve bypasses are in service positions.

During this process the valves will need to be quickly advanced to the next cycle. To quick cycle press

and	after the regeneration cycle has started.

255 Alternating tank systems have one Logix 764 control that is mounted on tank 1. Tank 2 has a blank faceplate and the tank 2 valve is controlled by the Logix 764 control on tank 1.

To Place the 255 Alternating System into Operation:

1. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds. This will start the first regeneration.

Note: Once the valve has reached the cycle (visable on the display and camshaft has stopped turning), quick cycle to the next cycle. This is especially recommended for the C8 cycle. Overfilling the regenerant tank will affect the brine and future regen cycles.

Note: It is recommended that you do not put regenerant into the tank until after the control valve has been put into operation. With no regenerant in the tank, it is much easier to view water flow and motion in the tank.

Tank 1 moves through cycles: C5 - Fast Rinse

As water enters the tank, air will be forced out the drain line. Once water fills the tank it will then discharge out the drain line. Quick cycling the control can now be used to advance through the remaining cycles

C8 - Regenerant Refill; the aircheck is filled and flow to the regenerant tank is visable

Quick cycle Tank 1 to service then--

Tank 2 moves through cycles: C1 - Backwash

C2 - Regenerant Draw; the regenerant tank should have water in it. As the draw occurs the level will go down.

C3- Slow Rinse

C4 - Standby

Both tanks have now been purged of air. The water supply valve can be fully opened.
