The Faceplate Timer
When the transformer is plugged
into the electrical outlet, 12:00 AM, Sunday begins
to flash in the faceplate display. Set the present time
of day and day of week as follows.
1. Set
Time Of Day
Press the 
(Present Time and Day) button once. The hour display
continues to flash.
Press the 
(Set / Clear) button until the present hour
shows. Be sure AM or PM, as applies, also shows.
NOTE: Press Set / Clear
and quickly release to slowly advance the display. Hold
Set / Clear for fast advance. This procedure applies
for all following time settings.
Press the
(Present Time and Day) button once to steady hours,
and minutes begin to flash.
Press the
(Set / Clear) button until the correct minutes
show.
Press the
(Present Time and Day) button once to steady minutes.
A day abbreviation begins to flash.
2. Set Present DAY Of Week
Rapidly press and release,
or hold the
(Set / Clear) button until the present day flashes.
Press the
(Present Time and Day) button a final time to steady
the entire time display. NOTE: No other settings
are needed after installing the unit. It is factory
set to regenerate (or recharge) every Monday, Wednesday
and Saturday, beginning at 2:00 AM. Fill time is set
for 8 minutes. For most families, this provides enough
conditioned water for their needs. However, if you want
the unit to regenerate at a different time, or on different
days, or to adjust fill time, continue below.
3. Set
Days And Time Of Regeneration
isplay a flashing 25 and HARDNESS.
Press the (Up)
or (Down)
buttons to set your water hardness number. NOTE: Be
sure to enter the grains per gallon (gpg) hardness of your
water supply on page 4, for future reference. If your water
supply contains iron, compensate for it by adding to the
water hardness number. For example, assume your water is
20 gpg hard and contains 2 ppm iron. Add 5 to the hardness
number for each 1 ppm of iron. In this example, you would
use 30 for your hardness number.
2 ppm iron x 5 = 10
20 gpg hardness + 10 = 30 Hardness Number
3. Set Recharge
(Regeneration) Time
Press the 
(Select/Menu) button once to display a flashing 2:00AM
and RECHARGE TIME.
If no change is desired, go
to Step 4. If you want to change the recharge start time,
press the (Up)
or (Down)
buttons until the desired starting time shows. 4. Set Salt Efficiency
When this feature is ON, the unit will
operate at salt efficiencies of 4000 grains of hardness
per pound of salt or higher. (May recharge more often using
smaller salt dosage and less water).
Press and hold the
(Select/Menu) button until the following screen is displayed.
Once in this display, press the
(Select/Menu) button and one of the following two displays
is shown.
 
The icon on the top right corner is the efficiency
icon.
Press the (Up)
or (Down)
buttons to set On or Off. When set to On, the efficiency icon
will be displayed in the upper right hand corner of the normal
run display.
Press the
(Select/Menu) button once again, to complete initial
programming. RECHARGE TONIGHT will show in the display.
The efficiency icon is displayed when efficiency is set
to On.
Your New Morton Water
softener has been programmed for high salt efficiency when
shipped from the factory. To achieve the maximum rated capacity
of the water softener, the efficiency setting needs to be
in the off position. This feature is required in some states;
check your local state codes before turning this feature
off. If you wish to turn the high efficiency feature off,
follow the above instructions.
Customizing
Features / Options
Recharge Now
If you have guests, or other times when more water than
usual is used, you could begin to run out of conditioned water.
If the unit is not scheduled to regenerate for another day
or two, you could get hard water until then. If this occurs,
do the following to start an immediate regeneration.
Press and hold the
(Recharge) button until RECHARGE NOW flashes in
the display, and the softener enters the fill cycle of regeneration
right away. RECHARGE NOW will flash during the regeneration.
When over, full water conditioning capacity is restored.
NOTE: Avoid using hot water while
the conditioner is regenerating, because the water heater
will refill with bypass hard water.
Recharge Tonight
If you do not want to start an immediate recharge, but
would like an extra recharge at the next preset recharge time,
do the following to schedule a recharge.
Press and release (do
not hold) the
(Recharge) button. RECHARGE TONIGHT flashes in
the display, and the softener will recharge at the next recharge
time. RECHARGE NOW will flash during the regeneration.
When over, full water conditioning capacity is restored.
Timer "Power
Outage Memory"
If electrical power to the timer is lost, "memory"
built into the timer circuitry will keep all settings for
up to 8 hours. While the power is out, the display is blank
and the unit will not regenerate. When electrical power
is restored, the following will occur.
You have to reset the present time only if the display
is flashing. The HARDNESS and RECHARGE TIME never require
resetting unless a change is desired. Even if the timer
is incorrect 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.
NOTE: If the unit was
regenerating when power was lost, it will now finish the
cycle.
