Program The Timer
SET REGENERATION TIME
To complete setting the regeneration time, complete the follow-
ing steps:
1. Press the SELECT button to display 2:00 AM (flashing) and
RECHARGE TIME.
2. At the 2:00 AM recharge time setting, the softener begins
regeneration (see pages 29 - 31) at 2:00 AM. This is a good
time in most households because water is not being used. If
a different recharge time setting would be better for your
household, complete the following step.
3. Press the UP or DOWN buttons to set the desired recharge
starting hour. Be sure to observe the AM-PM as you did when
setting the present time of day.
Note:
Note: Each press of the UP or DOWN buttons changes
the display one hour. Holding the buttons in changes the
display twice each second.
4. Press the SELECT button once again, to complete initial
programming, and the current time of day shows in the dis-
play.
Normal Operating Screen has several useful items that
can be viewed at a glance. The black bars on the left col-
umn display the amount of salt in the storage tank. The
present time is shown in the upper right hand corner.
Options are shown in the top center of the display. If the
unit is going to recharge tonight or is in a recharge, this is
shown. By pressing the Up arrow displays the "More"
screen.
"More" Screen
shows the water used today, average daily
use, average pounds of salt used per recharge and
recharge count. If the recharge count is reset to zero, the
average pounds of salt per recharge is reset also.
PROGRAM MEMOR
Y If electrical power to the softener
goes off, the time display is blank but the face plate timer
keeps the correct time for about 72 hours. When electrical
power comes on again, you have to reset the present
time only if the Set Present Time display is showing. The
HARDNESS and RECHARGE TIME never require reset-
ting unless a change is desired. Even if the timer is incor-
rect after a long power outage, the softener works as it
should to keep your water soft. However, regenerations
may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the
timer to the correct time of day.
