Placing Water Conditioning System Into Operation

After you have performed the installation steps, the conditioner will need to be placed into operation.

Follow these steps carefully, (pages 16 to 21) as they

differ from previous Autotrol valve instructions.

Note: All Logix 764 controls will be shipped in the service (treated water) position. Do not rotate the camshaft before performing the following steps.

The incoming supply water should be turned off.

Remove air from tank(s).

1.Position the bypass valve(s) to the in service (not in bypass) position.

2.Open the nearest water faucet completely.

3.Open the incoming water supply valve slowly to the quarter open position.

Note: Do not plug in the power supply until step 5. The tank(s) will fill with water. The air will exit through the faucet. When water flows steady from the faucet, the tank(s) are purged.

4.Turn off the faucet then turn off the incoming water supply.

Power-up the Control

5.Plug the transformer into a non-switched outlet. The display will show the valve type that was loaded from memory.

If this is the first time the control is powered up the display will show 255A.

6. Use the or buttons to increment through the available selections, Table 1.

For the next steps you may want to remove the cover to watch the camshaft movement.

7. Press to enter the valve type and the proper preprogrammed valves for your application:

255A for Twin Alternating

255P for Twin Parallel

255L for single or multiple tanks with regeneration lockout or remote regeneration start

8.The display will show ---. Select media volume or “F” for filter setup. If a number or “F” is displayed the resin volume or a filter valve has been preprogrammed, Table 2.

Finish programming the Logix 764 control using the Level I programming guide.

For a 255A system: the control will automatically syncronize the cam positions.

Tank 1 will move to standby Tank 2 will move to service

err# will be displayed when the Tank 1 cam is moving. err4 will be displayed when Tank 2 cam is moving.

For a 255P system:

Tanks 1 and 2 will move to service if not already in service.

For a 255L system:

The tank(s) will move to service if not already in service.
