706 SERIES INITIAL POWER-UP
The water supply valve should be off or the valve is in by-pass
Initial Power-Up - (Camshaft proceeds to in-service
position)
• At initial power-up, the camshaft may need to rotate to the
in-service position.
• Camshaft may take 1 to 2 minutes to return to in-service
position .
• Err 3 will be displayed until the camshaft returns to
in-service position (Figure 18 Initial Power-Up Display).
• If more than 2 minutes elapses, verify that the motor
is turning the camshaft. If it is not turning, check the
“Troubleshooting” section .
Figure 18
Initial Power-Up Display
When the camshaft has reached the in-service position the
display will show “- -:- -”.
If the time of day alternating with capacity remaining is
displayed then the controller has used short term memory
to load settings. Short term memory will hold settings for
approximately eight hours. Settings include:
• Water used today
•
Water used since last recharge
• Current time of day
•
Recharge state
Un-programmed controls will have the following settings.
Default settings:
•
Hardness - 25 grains per gallon
• Salt setting - HE, High efficiency
• System will recharge every 15 days (calendar override)
even if no water is used. Unplug system for long
periods of no water usage. Calendar override is not
programmable .
In addition:
•
Water used is set to 0
• The internal system clock is set to 8:00 AM. The display
continues to show “- -:- -” until the time is manually set
which updates the internal clock.
• Day of the week is Sunday.
• A recharge will initiate when the internal system clock
reaches 12:00 am. The regen icon will flash.
INITIAL START-UP INSTRUCTIONS
1 .
Set time of day - Press the Time of Day button. Press it
again within 5 seconds and the time will increment . Press
and hold for 2 seconds to rapidly increment the setting.
Release the button and the time will be saved after
5 seconds .
Figure 19 Step 1
2 .
Pick the salt setting - The controller starts (defaults) with the
HE (high efficiency) setting. If you want to check or change
the setting, press the Salt Amount button to display the
current setting. To change it, press the Salt Amount button
again within 5 seconds. The new setting will be saved after
5 seconds .
HC: This setting maximizes the system capacity between
recharges and will also use the most salt . This setting can be
used if you have high water hardness or high water usage.
Example: 3 or more people and/or hardness above 25 gpg.
Sd: This setting will provide a mid-range capacity. Less
salt is used than the HC (High Capacity), setting. More
water between recharges is provided than when the HE
(High Efficiency) setting is used. Use this setting if the
conditioner is running out of capacity when set to HE. This
setting is also used if the HC setting is providing too much
capacity. Use this setting if your usage or water hardness
fall between the HC and HE examples .
HE: This setting minimizes salt used for a recharge (uses
the least amount of salt) and provides the least amount of
water between recharges. This setting can be used if you
have low water hardness or low water usage. Example: 2 or
less people and/or hardness below 20 grains per gallon .
Figure 20 Step 2
3 . Enter the hardness of the water - The controller starts
(defaults) at a hardness of 25 gpg. Check your water for
the actual hardness . Press the Water Hardness button to
display the current settings. To change the setting press
the button again within 5 seconds. To rapidly increase the
setting push and hold the Water Hardness button . Release
the button and the setting will be saved after 5 seconds. A
hardness setting too high will cause the system to recharge
more often and use more salt and water than what is
needed to soften your water. A hardness setting too low will
cause the system to recharge less often. The system may
pass hard water shortly before it recharges.
Figure 21 Step 3
Programming is complete. The controller will begin normal
operation if no button is pushed for 5 seconds.
During normal operation (Service mode) the display will
show the current time of day with the colon blinking. This will
alternate with a display of the gallons remaining to be treated
before recharge .
