GE 960 Series manual Time of Regeneration, Hardness, Salt Amount, Capacity

Page 7

Time of Regeneration

The next value displayed is the Time of Regeneration. It has a default value of 2:00 a.m. If this is not acceptable, press the SET button and change the number. Press the SET button to enter the value. If 2:00 a.m. is acceptable, press the down arrow () button.

Hardness

Hardness is the next value displayed. This value is the water hardness expressed in grains per gallon (milligrams per liter). The default value is 10 grains/gallon (100 mg/L). If this is not acceptable, press the SET button and enter a new value. Any value between 3 and 250 grains per gallon (30 and2500 milligrams per liter) is allowed. Press the SET button to enter the new value.

Salt Amount

Salt Amount is the next value displayed. The default value for Salt Amount is 6 pounds (2.7 kilograms) of salt; refer to Table 2 for suggested salt settings.

Note: This is the total amount of salt for a regeneration, not pounds per cubic foot. If 6 pounds is not acceptable, press the SET button and change the numbers. If 6 pounds is acceptable, press the down arrow () button.

Capacity

Capacity is the next value displayed and is expressed in kilograins (kilograms). Refer to Table 2 for the capacity setting that corresponds to the resin bed volume and salt

amount . The default value is 1.0 kilograin (0.1 kilogram). If this is not acceptable, press the SET button and enter a new value. Any value between 0.1 and 140 kilograins (.01 and 14.00 kilograms) is allowed.

Note: If the calculation for the system capacity exceeds 9999 gallons (99.99 cubic meters) (P5, Capacity, divided by P3, Hardness,) the control will display 9999 (99.99) for capacity until the water usage has dropped the remaining capacity below that number. When water is flowing through the system, the colon in the Time of Day display will blink.

At this time, all of the mandatory parameters are filled and the control is ready for operation. To further increase the efficiency of the system see P6 and P7 in the Level II Parameters Section. The display will alternate between the Time of Day and Capacity if no keys are pressed for

30 seconds. The Capacity value is the volume remaining in gallons (cubic meters for metric) before a regeneration is needed.

Verify proper power outage operation by briefly removing power to the control. The unit will beep and show the time of day when power is turned on.

If you wish to fine-tune the operation of this control, refer to Tables 1 and 3 for details concerning allowable values, defaults, and parameter descriptions. The programming procedure is the same for all of these parameters.
