Model MSD 27 B
Programming
The Faceplate Timer
When
the transformer is plugged into the electrical outlet, a model
code and a test number (example: s3.0), begins to flash in the
faceplate display. Then 12:00 AM, and PRESENT TIME
begins to flash.
NOTE:
If SR - - shows in the display, press the  (Up)
or (Down)
button until SR22 shows. Then, press the 
(Select/Menu) button to set, and change the flashing PRESENT TIME
display.
Step
1.
Set Time Of Day
If
the words PRESENT TIME do not show in the display, press
the
(Select/Menu) button until they do.
-
Press
the(Up)
or(Down)
buttons to set the present time. Up moves the display ahead;
down moves the time backward.
Be
sure AM or PM is correct.
NOTE:
Press buttons and quickly release to slowly advance the display.
Hold for fast advance. This procedure applies for all of
the following settings.
Step
2.
Set Water Hardness Number
-
Press
the
(Select/Menu) button once to display 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
Step
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.
Step
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.

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.
