    GENERAL 700 SERIES INSTRUCTIONS 700 SERIES CONTROLLER Power Loss Memory Retention The 700 Series controllers feature battery-free time and date retention during the loss of power. This is designed to last a minimum of 8 hours depending on the installation. The controller will continue to keep time and day in dynamic memory while there is no AC power.
  • Page 26 Variable Reserve Function The 700 Series metered-demand volumetric controllers (760 and 760C) are designed to have a variable reserve feature. This feature automatically adjusts the reserve to the end-user’s water usage schedule. A variable reserve saves salt and water by only regenerating when absolutely necessary, and ensures enough soft water for typical high-water usage days.

    PROGRAMMING THE 700 FOR 5-CYCLE FILTER APPLICATIONS Manganese Greensand Systems Sizing FA Filters Potassium permanganate regenerating iron filters should be sized for the appropriate backwash and injector sizes. Backwash Controller Be sure to choose the appropriate backwash flow rate control (see Parts section) as recommended by your media manufacturer.
  • Page 38 demand: multiply the gallons of water used per day (300) by the ppm of iron content (10) = 3000 ppm of daily capacity usage. Now take the system capacity (10,000), divided by the daily demand (3,000) = 3.3 days of capacity. Since you will run out of capacity before the beginning of the fourth day, the proper setting for days between regeneration is 3 days.

    To install control module: 1. Be sure the power is disconnected. 2. Check model. 3. Check routing of wires and plug them into the controller. Connectors will snap in place. Be sure that wires are properly managed through the clips on top plate.

  • Page 45: Optical Sensor

    Optical Sensor The optical sensor is mounted to the top plate. The camshaft cup rotates through the sensor and the slots are detected. A signal is sent to the controller for each slot. NOTE: Damaged sensors should be replaced. Sensors may be cleaned with compressed air or a soft brush.

  • Page 46: Camshaft

    Camshaft The camshaft has several lobes that push open the valve discs as the camshaft rotates. Rotation is controlled by a drive motor that drives a gear at the rear of the camshaft. The front end has a cup with markings and slots. WARNING: The camshaft slots are molded to exact dimensions.
  • Page 47 NOTE: When replacing/removing camshaft, make sure not to damage or mis-align the optical sensor. Hold the sensor in position while removing camshaft. 6. Move the camshaft backwards, away from the controller. 7. Lift the loose front end up and out. To install camshaft: 1.

    Wiring Harnesses The wiring harnesses are designed to fit one way. The connectors are unique to the port they plug into. The wires are held in place by clips and the connectors latch in place. Figure 18 - Wire Harness Routing Do not run wires through holes in topplate.

  • Page 49: Microswitch (Optional Under The Cover)

    This switch is turned on/off by a cam lobe on the camshaft. Its function is to signal that the unit is in-service or out-of-service (regenerating). Microswitches are available as kits from Pentair Water or a standard microswitch can be used as well.

  • Page 50: Microswitch (Optional - Front Of Camshaft)

    This cam can be adjusted to activate the microswitch at any time during the regeneration cycle. The front end cam switch is available as a kit from Pentair Water. WARNING: This switch will normally control an event on another piece of equipment.

  • Page 51: Spring (Valve Discs)

    Spring (Valve Discs) This spring is a one-piece metal spring that applies pressure to the valve discs holding them closed. The rotating camshaft overcomes this pressure to open the valve discs as needed. The shape of the spring is critical for proper operation.

  • Page 52: Relay (Optional)

    Relay (Optional) WARNING: The Pentair Water valve is rated for low voltage (less than 48 volts) microswitch components only. Using a high voltage switch may result in damaged valves or fire and may interfere with electronic control function.

  • Page 53: Terminal Block (Optional)

    6. Clip wires with plastic tie-wrap to ensure that the wires do not tangle in camshaft. Terminal Block (Optional) WARNING: The Pentair Water valve is rated for low voltage microswitch components only. Using a high voltage switch may result in damaged valves or fire and may interfere with electronic control function.

  • Page 54: Top Plate

    The top plate holds the valve discs in place during operation. This plate is removed to allow cleaning and replacing the valve discs. NOTE: The Pentair Water valve discs are made from a chloramine resistant severe service rubber. The valve discs will usually not need to be changed.
  • Page 55 To install the top plate: NOTE: All valve discs should be in position. Use the same screws that were removed to reassemble the top plate. WARNING: Follow the procedure to engage the screws with the existing threads. If the same threads are not used, the holding power of the screw is lost.
