Start-Up Instructions; 3200 Timer Setting Procedure - Pentair Fleck 2850S Service Manual

INSTALLATION CONTINUED
Meter Dome and Union Orientation
Control valves outfitted with an electromechanical timer and
stainless steel water meter include a special male x female
threaded stainless steel union to insure proper installation
and operation of the water meter.
The location of this union in relation to the
control valve and water meter is critical for
proper operation. DO NOT omit or substitute
this special union; it positions the meter
dome at the correct distance from the control
valve and allows re-positioning the water
meter dome for proper operation.
1. Apply a suitable thread sealant to the male threads of the
union and meter body.
2. Thread the union into the OUTLET port of the control
valve, then thread the meter into the union. See
illustrations below.
3. Rotate the water meter body so the meter dome is at
the 12 o'clock position. Loosen the nut on the union to
facilitate this if required. Once in position, tighten the
union nut.
4. Connect the meter cable to the open port in the center of
the meter dome.
5. Continue with the installation of the control valve.

START-UP INSTRUCTIONS

The water softener should be installed with the inlet, outlet, and
drain connections made in accordance with the manufacturer's
recommendations, and to meet applicable plumbing codes.
1. Turn the manual regeneraton knob slowly in a clockwise
direction until the program micro switch lifts on top of the
first set of pins. Allow the drive motor to move the piston to
the first regeneration step and stop. Each time the program
switch position changes, the valve will advance to the next
regeneration step. Always allow the motor to stop before
moving to the next set of pins or spaces.
NOTE: For electronic valves, please refer to the manual
regeneration part of the timer operation section. If the
valve came with a separate electronic timer service
manual, refer to the timer operation section of the
electronic timer service manual.
2. Position the valve to backwash. Ensure the drain line flow
remains steady for 10 minutes or until the water runs clear
(see above).
3. Position the valve to the brine / slow rinse position. Ensure
the unit is drawing water from the brine tank (this step may
need to be repeated).
4. Position the valve to the rapid rinse position. Check the drain
line flow, and run for 5 minutes or until the water runs clear.
5. Position the valve to the start of the brine tank fill cycle.
Ensure water goes into the brine tank at the desired rate.
The brine valve drive cam will hold the valve in this position
to fill the brine tank for the first regeneration.
6. Replace control box cover.
7. Put salt in the brine tank.
NOTE: Do not use granulated or rock salt.

3200 TIMER SETTING PROCEDURE

How To Set Days On Which Water Conditioner Is To Regenerate
(Figure 2)
Rotate the skipper wheel until the number "1" is at the red
pointer. Set the days that regeneration is to occur by sliding
tabs on the skipper wheel outward to expose trip fingers. Each
tab is one day. Finger at red pointer is tonight. Moving clockwise
from the red pointer, extend or retract fingers to obtain the
desired regeneration schedule.
How To Set The Time Of Day
1. Press and hold the red button in to disengage the
drive gear.
2. Turn the large gear until the actual time of day is at the time
of day pointer.
3. Release the red button to again engage the drive gear.
How To Manually Regenerate Your Water Conditioner At
Any Time
1. Turn the manual regeneration knob clockwise.
2. This slight movement of the manual regeneration knob
engages the program wheel and starts the
regeneration program.
3. The black center knob will make one revolution in the
following approximately three hours and stop in the position
shown in the drawing.
4. Even though it takes three hours for this center knob to
complete one revolution, the regeneration cycle of your unit
might be set for only one half of this time.
