Manual Indexing for Each Regeneration

The control valve may be manually indexed to each regeneration position as follows:

1.Remove the control valve cover.

2.Press down on the top of the drive gear to disengage the cam gear. (See Step 1 in Start-Up Rinsing Procedure section.)

3.With the cam gear disengaged, rotate the cam gear counterclockwise to the various positions, using the same steps as the Start-Up Rinsing Procedure.

The control valve may also be operated in a fast mode for testing the control. To activate the fast mode, follow Steps 1 and 2 above to disengage the cam gear. When the cam gear is disengaged, it should be advanced slightly in a counterclockwise direction.

The switch will then activate the motor to cause the cam gear to advance through all the cycles in about 30 minutes. The control will not recognize a fast mode as a regeneration. Manual regenerations can be initiated only by pressing the manual regeneration switch on the face of the control.

Errors

This system continuously monitors itself and displays an error message if it detects something wrong.

When an error is detected, the display shows the letters “Err” with a number from 1 to 4. The table below lists Err numbers, a description of each error, the cause of the error and the solutions.

To clear the error from the display, press any button on the control. If the error still exists, the control will display the error message again after 30 seconds.
