when a set water softener volume of water used has accumulated. This second is not 
viewed on non-metered water softener systems. When more than one of these water 
softener settings is used, the water softener relay must be wired to the auxiliary brine cam 
switch output to operate two separate pieces of equipment at one time.

Note: When auxiliary water softener outputs are in the OFF (default) setting, use the water 
softener set up or set down buttons to set the first setting. Then press the water softener 
extra cycle button to advance to the second setting.

A) Water softener Timed Auxiliary Relay Output (Display Codes S - Start Time, E - End Time). 
This water softener option setting consists of two displays. The first water softener display 
sets the turn - ON time of the output. Referenced to the start of the first water softener 
regeneration cycle. The second water softener display sets the output turn - OFF time, 
referenced again to output timing, is synchronized with water softener cycle timing.

Water softener range = Total time of regeneration water softener cancel          Setting (AROF)

Water softener turn on start of regeneration                                 (S - - 0) 
Water softener shut off end of regeneration                                  (E - 92) 
Water softener turn on after 10 minutes in regeneration             (S - 10) 
Water softener turn on after 20 minutes in regeneration             (E - 20)

Note: The end of water softener regeneration is the total of all water softener regeneration 
cycle steps times.

B) Water softener Chemical Pump Output (Display Codes U - Volume, T - Seconds)

The water softener option setting consists of two displays. The first water softener display 
sets the volume of water flow at which the output turns on. The second water softener 
display sets the turn ON time (in seconds) of the output.

Water softener range = 1 - 999 gallons 
Water softener range = 1 - 999 seconds 
Water softener cancel (CPOF) 
Water softener active output after every 200 gallons (U200) 
Water softener turn ON for 60 seconds after 20 minutes in regeneration (T - 60)

- use water softener set up and set down buttons to adjust this value. 
- press the water softener extra cycle button.

14. Water Softener Flow Meter Size  (Display Code FF):

This water softener program step sets the sizes of the flow meter. The letters “FF” in the 
first two digits of the water softener display identifies this program step. The last two digits 
of the water softener display indicates the meter’s size. If (FF - - ) generic is chosen, the 
next step is generic flow meter size. If any other selection is chosen the next step is line 
frequency.

Water softener range = 3” meter 
- use water softener set up and set down buttons to adjust this value. 
- press the water softener extra cycle button.
