6 Remove AccuDial locking clip:
Prior to setting regeneration frequency, you must remove the light blue clip which
is snapped around the hardness adjustment knob. Clip should be retained for re-use
following setup, to prevent unauthorised adjustment of the regeneration frequency.
See Figure 4 for top view of softener valve. Determine the supply water hardness
value in ppm or mg/L. Put a cross headed screw driver into the recess on the top of
the unit and, whilst keeping the screw driver pushed down, turn one full rotation to
reset the metering system.

Connect the inlet/outlet adapters to the supply and return hoses remembering to
use screened washers. Install adapters into control valve in/out ports, ensuring that
they are fitted into the correct ports (see flow arrows on valve for reference). Attach
the retaining bracket and pin to the control valve.
