Installer manual Fleck 2910 NXT/NXT2 - Installation Regeneration flows Mandatory For all multiple tank systems NBP valve version must be used ! Info In this chapter, systems up to four valves are used to describe and illustrate the different multiple valves systems, even if the described system may control more than four valves.
Installer manual Fleck 2910 NXT/NXT2 - Installation 5.7.1 Single valve (System 4) As named, this system works with only one valve. The regen can be initiated upon the treated volume (delayed or immediate), time clock mode or an external remote regen signal or day of week (NXT2 controller only).
Installer manual Fleck 2910 NXT/NXT2 - Installation During normal operation, the controllers of each valve display the time of day and the volume of water remaining. The remaining volume is the total volume of the system. The remaining volume displayed drops with water consumption to reach zero. When this happens, if no other valve is regenerating, the lead valve starts regeneration while sending out a regeneration lock out signal to all other valves of the system.
Installer manual Fleck 2910 NXT/NXT2 - Installation 5.7.5 Duplex alternating delayed system (System 8) (NXT2 only) This system works with 2 valves and a meter. During normal operation, the controller of each valve displays the time of day and the volume of water remaining.
Installer manual Fleck 2910 NXT/NXT2 - Installation 5.7.7 Multiple valves, system on-demand (System 14) This system type may be used to build systems from 2 to 4 valves for NXT controller, 2 to 8 valves for NXT2. Each valve must be equipped with a water meter.
