AccuDial® Meter Reset
Resetting the AccuDial meter is simple:
1.
Using a Phillips-head screwdriver, manually initiate a system regeneration by depressing and slowly turning the
softener valve screw – located in the center of the valve cap – clockwise until four clicks are heard, and water
begins to run through the system.
2.
Determine AccuDial setting from AccuDial Selection Chart – Locate model number in left-hand column and read
across corresponding row to water hardness level; AccuDial setting will be at top of column.
3.
With AccuDial mechanism in "home" position (small arrow on disc will be at the six o'clock position), adjust
AccuDial to proper setting by pushing down and turning adjustment knob.
4.
Set inner numbered disc to desired position. Arrow will be pointing at the center of the numbered box for whole
settings. For half settings, arrow will be pointing to the line between boxes.
5.
Release adjustment knob and ensure that knob returns to up position.
NOTE: Never set AccuDial with the small arrow pointing anywhere in the black-shaded area on the inner numbered disc.
The system will not meter water accurately if set up in this manner.
Regeneration Gearing
The regeneration gearing connects the regeneration turbine to the stem gear and
eccentric pin which drives the regeneration drive pawl and advances-the control
disc.
Regeneration Control Disc
All valve positions are controlled by the control disc. As it turns, it covers and
uncovers holes in the ceramic disc (located directly below the control disc), sending
and receiving pressure signals to open and close all valve pistons.
Lower Valving Section
Level 3
NOTE: The Solitaire valve does not have a level 2.
Level 3 assembly interfaces with the level 1, communicating pressure signals from the control disc and ceramic disc
to the valving captured by the levels 3, 4 and 5. In addition to being the pressure communication hub, the Level 3 also
contains vital components such as the regeneration flow control, regeneration nozzle, meter flow nozzle and venturi.
Regeneration Flow Control
A 0.2 gpm jet regeneration flow control is used to limit the amount of water sent through the regeneration
nozzle.
Regeneration Nozzle
The regeneration nozzle is used to accurately direct the 0.2 gpm flow at the regeneration turbine.
Flow Nozzle
Accuracy and range of the flow meter will depend on the nozzle used with the system. In the Solitaire valve, the flow
nozzle is integrated within the level three. The shape of the nozzle is molded in the level 3 and the floor of the nozzle
is a feature of the level 4.
