WARNING: Do not rotate the camshaft by hand or damage
to the unit may occur. Use the controller to step the camshaft
electronically through the cycles.
Flashing
WARNING: If opened too rapidly or too far, media may be lost out
of the tank into the valve or the plumbing. In the 1/4 open position,
you should hear air slowly escaping from the valve drain line.
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.
1. With the supply water for the system still turned off,
position the bypass valve to the "not in bypass"
(normal operation) position.
2. Hold the REGEN button on the controller down for 5
seconds. This will initiate a manual regeneration.
The controller will indicate that the motor is turning
the camshaft to the cycle C1 (Backwash) position by
flashing an hourglass. The controller will display the
total regen time remaining. If you press and hold the
SET button, the controller will indicate the time remain
ing in the current cycle.
3. Fill the media tank with water. While the controller is in
cycle C1 (Backwash), open the water supply valve very
slowly to approximately the 1/4 open position.
A. When all of the air has been purged from the media
tank (water begins to flow steadily from the drain line),
open the main supply valve all of the way. This will
purge the final air from the tank.
B. Allow water to run to drain until the water runs clear
from the drain line. This purges any refuse from the
media bed.
C. Turn off the water supply and let the system stand
for about five minutes. This will allow any air trapped
to escape from the tank.
4. Add water to the regenerant tank (initial fill) (condi-
tioner only). With a bucket or hose, add approximately
4 gallons (15 liters) of water to the regenerant tank.
A. If the tank has a salt platform in the bottom of the
tank, add water until the water level is approximately 1
inch (25 mm) above the platform.
