IM
PORTANT: BE SURE THE VALVE CAM INDICATES
``SERVICE'' POSITION (See Figure 1) WHEN REPLACING THE
ELECTRONIC CONTROL BOARD (PWA), TO ASSURE BOTH
VALVE AND PWA ARE ORIENTED, OR TIMED, TO THE SAME
CYCLE. If the valve is not in Service position, see step 13 below.
NOTE: When installing the electronic control board (PWA) on the face-
plate, use care not to twist the circuit board, or force it onto the
mounting pegs. Twisting could damage the printed circuits, or break the
display glass.
9. With the correct model code displayed, press the SELECT
button. The electronic controller will restart, briefly displaying
the model code you set.
10. Press the r UP or s DOWN buttons to set the present time.
Up moves the display ahead; down sets the time back. Be
sure AM or PM is correct.
11. Press the SELECT button a few times, until the time appears
on the display, but is not flashing.
12. For information about programming additional features of the
softener, consult your owner’s manual.
13. If the valve is not in Service position, press the REGENERA-
TION button and hold for 3 seconds to start a recharge cycle.
The display will flash “RECHARGE NOW.” In about 2 hours
the recharge cycle will be complete and the valve and elec-
tronic control board will be properly oriented together.
NOTE: To save time, use the manual advance procedures to
properly time and check operation. See service informa-
tion in the manual.
