Time of Day

Press the 

SET

 button. The display will show the Time of 

Day with the minutes digit blinking. If you want to change 
this number, press the 

UP ARROW

 (

) button to increase 

the number or the 

DOWN ARROW 

(

) button to decrease 

the number. To skip the number without changing, press 
the 

LEFT ARROW

 (

) button. The first number stops 

flashing and the next number starts flashing. 

You

 

can only 

change the flashing number

. When you have reached the 

far left digit, pressing the 

LEFT ARROW

 (

) button returns 

you to the far right digit. Continue changing numbers until 
you reach the desired setting. Press the 

SET

 button again 

to save the value.

Time of Regeneration

The next value displayed is the Time of Regeneration. It is 
similar to Time of Day programming. It has a default value 
of 2:00 a.m. If 2:00 a.m. is acceptable, press the 

DOWN 

ARROW 

(

) button. If this is not acceptable, press the 

SET

 

button and change the numbers. Press the 

SET

 button 

again to save the value.

Factor A

Factor A is the next value displayed. Factor A is the 
potassium permanganate demand of the water being 
treated. Determine the potassium permanganate demand 
of the water supply and enter that value for Factor A. The 
formula below can be used to calculate potassium 
permanganate demand from a water analysis.
From water analysis:
Iron content (Fe

Example:

4.0 ppm iron =                        

4.0 ppm

3.0 ppm Manganese x 2 =        

6.0 ppm

Potassium Perm. Demand =    

20.0 ppm

Regenerant Dosage

Regenerant dosage is the next value displayed. Refer to 
Table 6 to find the correct regenerant dosage setting 
based on the volume of filter media and the average room 
temperature of the installation site. Enter the correct value 
from Table 6.

Capacity

Capacity is the next value displayed. Refer toTable 7 to 
find the correct system capacity setting based on filter 
media volume. Enter the capacity setting from Table 7.

Note:

  The Performa 960 FA control uses the Capacity and 

Factor A settings to calculate the system capacity in 
gallons (cubic meters). If the calculated system capacity 
exceeds 9999 gallons (99.99 cubic meters), the control will 
display 9999 (99.99 cubic meters), for capacity until the 
water usage has dropped the remaining capacity below 
that number. When water is flowing through the system, 
the colon in the Time of Day display will blink.
At this time, all of the Level I Parameters are programmed. 
The display will alternate between the Time of Day and 
Capacity if no keys are pressed for 30 seconds. The 
Capacity value displayed is the volume remaining in 
gallons (cubic meters for metric) before a regeneration is 
needed.
To complete the initial programming of the Performa 960 
FA proceed to the Level II Parameters, page 15.
