Normal Operation

1. 

Home Display

a. Alternates between the display of Time of Day and Number of Days until the Next Backwash. 

- Days Remaining until the Next Backwash will count down from the entered value until it    

  reaches 1 day remaining.

- A Backwash Cycle will then be initiated at the next designated regeneration time.

2. 

Battery Back-Up

 (Uses a standard 9-volt alkaline battery.)

Features of Battery Back-Up:

• During power failures, the battery will maintain the time of day as long as the battery has    

  power. 

                             The display is turned off to conserve battery power during this time. To confirm that the    

  battery is working, press either button and the display will turn on for five (5) seconds.

• If power failure occurs while system is regenerating, the Isobar III valve will motor to a  

                              shut off position to prevent constant flow to drain. Depending upon system pressure and 

  other factors, it is possible to observe a reduced flow to drain during this step. After power                 

                is restored, the valve will return and finish the cycle where it left off prior to the power 

                              interruption.

• When used without battery back-up, during a power failure, the unit stops at its current    

                              point in the regeneration position and then restarts at that point when the power is re

                              stored. The time will be offset by the increment of time the unit was

without power, so it is   

                necessary to reset the time of day on  the unit. No other system will be affected.

Delayed Extra Cycle

Example

 (  

1

  )  - 

If Days Remaining Until Next    

Regeneration does not read ‘1’, press and hold the

Set/Change

 button for 3 seconds until the display reads ‘1’.

- 

Regeneration cycle will initiate at the next designated regeneration time.

2. To start 

Immediate Extra Cycle 

First complete above step. 

- 

With Days Remaining Until Next Regeneration at ‘1’.

- 

Press and hold the 

Set/Change

 button.

- 

After 3 seconds, the regeneration cycle will begin.

3. To 

Fast Cycle 

thru regeneration 

First complete above 2 steps.
