Faceplate Timer Features

EXTRA RECHARGE

Sometimes, a manually started regeneration (recharge) may be desired, or needed. Two examples are:

•You have used more water than usual (guests visiting) and you may run out of soft water before the next timer started regeneration.

•You did not refill the softener with salt before it was gone. Add salt to the softener before regenerating.

You can start a regeneration right away, or you can set the timer to regenerate at the next 2:00 AM (or other pre- set recharge time).

RECHARGE NOW

Press the REGENERATION button and hold until *RECHARGE screen shows in the display and the green recharge LED is flashing. This screen shows the regen- eration time and cycle time remaining. After regneration, you will have soft water again.

*NOTE: If the CLEAN feature is set to ON, a cleaning backwash (CLEAN and Bkwsh or Rinse flashes in the display, along with the minutes of the clean cycle remaining) precedes the recharge.

RECHARGE TONIGHT

Press and release (do not hold) the REGENERATION button. RECHARGE TONIGHT flashes in the display, the green recharge LED is on and the softener begins regen- eration at the next preset recharge time. Press and release the REGENERATION button once more if you decide to cancel the regeneration, RECHARGE TONIGHT will no longer be displayed on the screen and the green recharge LED will turn off.

The timer has menu driven programming. To get to the main menu from the normal operating screen view, press the SELECT button.
