Programming 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 3.
Set Days And Time Of Regeneration

Press the (Recharge Time) button once. The factory set recharge days show, along with a flashing 2:00 AM.

If no change is desired, move on to the next step. If you want to change the recharge start time, press the (Set / Clear) button until the desired starting hours show.

If you want recharge to occur on Sunday, Press the (Set / Clear) button until ON shows.

If you DO NOT want recharge to occur on Sunday, Press the (Set / Clear) button until OFF shows.

Press the (Recharge Day) button again and MO (Monday) flashes. As you did above, use (Set / Clear) to display ON or OFF as desired.

Repeat the previous step for each day of the week, setting ON or OFF as desired.

After setting SA (Saturday) to ON or OFF, press the (Present Time and Day) button to return the present time.

Step 4.
Set The Fill Cycle Minutes

Press and hold the (Recharge Time) button until FILL shows in the display. After a few seconds, the fill cycle minutes (factory setting = 8) will flash.
