Placing Conditioner Into Operation

Conditioner and Filter Start-Up

After you have performed the previous initial power-up steps, you will need to place the conditioner into operation. Follow these steps carefully, as they differ from previous Autotrol valve instructions.

NOTE: The control valve can be started-up even if power is not yet available to the controller. The valve must be connected to the water supply. The motor can be unmounted from the valve, and the camshaft can be indexed manually counterclockwise by hand. This will allow the tank to be filled and allows regenerant draw to be tested.

1.Remove the cover from the valve. Removing the cover will allow you to see that the camshaft is turning, and in which cycle the camshaft is currently positioned.

2.With the supply water for the system still turned off, position the bypass valve to the “not in bypass” (normal operation) position.

3.Press and release the REGEN button on the controller. The scrolling text on the display will show "DELAYED REGENERATION". Press UP to navigate to "IMMEDIATE REGENERATION".

4.Press and release SET and UP to begin regeneration. The display will show eight LEDs moving from left to right on the banner display indicating that the motor is running. Additionally, the display will show the total regeneration time remaining.

Pressing SET when the motor has stopped displays the cycle description and cycle time remaining.

5.Press and release SET and UP simultaneously to advance to each cycle.

6.Advance the control to the Backwash. See below for the cycle sequences.

7.Fill the media tank with water.

A.While the controller is in cycle (Backwash), open the water supply valve very slowly to approximately the 1/4 open position.
