C. Observe that water is being drawn from the
regenerant tank for at least three minutes. If
the water level does not recede, check all
regenerant line connections for air leaks.
8. If the water level is receding from the regenerant tank
you can quick cycle the control to the C8 Regenerant
tank refill position.
A. The control will cycle to the regenerant tank
refill cycle, and water will be directed down
through the regenerant line to the regenerant
tank. Let the water flow through the line until
all air bubbles have been purged from the
line. Note: Do not let the water flow down the
line to the tank for more than one to two
minutes, or the tank may overfill.
9. Repeat steps 4 and 8 for each additional tank.
10. Finally, turn on a faucet plumbed after the water
conditioner. Run the faucet until the water runs clear.
11. Add the appropriate amount of regenerant to
regenerant tank.
The Water Conditioning System is Now
Fully Operational
Note:
After any control reset (valve type or system
change, etc.) it is necessary to initiate a manual
regeneration and quick cycle through it. This will ensure
the control and cam are synchronized. If not synchronized
err# will display and the control will drive cams to the
correct position for valve and system type programmed.
Quick Cycling the Control for 255A Systems
It is required that the control be quick cycled to specific
regeneration cycles when placing the conditioner into
operation. This will ensure that all of the air in the tank and
valve is purged. The process also provides a check for leaks
and functioning of the brine system.
After the initial power up and programming, tank 1 will be
in standby and tank 2 will be in service.
Before the final filling of the media tanks with water,
check that:
the nearest water faucet is completely closed.
the valve drain line is properly routed to a drain.
the regenerant tank is empty and the regenerant
hose is connected to the valve.
the water supply valve is partially open
valve bypasses are in service positions.
During this process the valves will need to be quickly
advanced to the next cycle. To quick cycle press
and after the regeneration cycle has started.
255 Alternating tank systems have one Logix 764 control
that is mounted on tank 1. Tank 2 has a blank faceplate
and the tank 2 valve is controlled by the Logix 764 control
on tank 1.
To Place the 255 Alternating System into
Operation:
1. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds. This will
start the first regeneration.
Note:
Once the valve has reached the cycle (visable on
the display and camshaft has stopped turning), quick
cycle to the next cycle. This is especially recommended
for the C8 cycle. Overfilling the regenerant tank will affect
the brine and future regen cycles.
Note:
It is recommended that you do not put regenerant
into the tank until after the control valve has been put into
operation. With no regenerant in the tank, it is much
easier to view water flow and motion in the tank.
Tank 1 moves through cycles:
C5 - Fast Rinse
As water enters the tank, air will be forced out the
drain line. Once water fills the tank it will then
discharge out the drain line. Quick cycling the
control can now be used to advance through the
remaining cycles
C8 - Regenerant Refill; the aircheck is filled and
flow to the regenerant tank is visable
Quick cycle Tank 1 to service
then--
Tank 2 moves through cycles:
C1 - Backwash
As water enters the tank, air will be forced out the
drain line. Once water fills the tank it will then
discharge out the drain line. Quick cycling the
control can now be used to advance through the
remaining cycles
C2 - Regenerant Draw; the regenerant tank
should have water in it. As the draw occurs the
level will go down.
C3- Slow Rinse
C4 - Standby
Both tanks have now been purged of air. The water
supply valve can be fully opened.
