Controller Features

Remote Lock
The controller does not allow the unit/system to go into
Regeneration until the Regeneration Lockout Input signal to the
unit is cleared. This requires a contact closure to activate the
unit. The recommended gauge wire is 16 AWG with a maximum
wire length run of 50 feet.
Regeneration Day Override Feature
If the Day Override option is turned on and the valve reaches the
set Regeneration Day Override value, the Regeneration Cycle
starts if no other unit is in Regeneration. If other units are in
regeneration, it is added to a regeneration queue. This occurs
regardless of the remaining volume available.
Lock Settings (access to Master Programming)
Lock Settings prevents the user from accessing Master
Programming. In Master Programming, select the desired Lock
Settings option (Off, Time Based, Delayed, or Enter Code).

detected will vary based on capability of meter). Duration range is

Ability to trigger a regeneration via a remote input.
Regeneration Types
Softener/Filter Meter Delayed - When volume remaining
reaches zero and the scheduled regeneration time is reached
(default 2 a.m. softener; 12 a.m. filter), the unit will regenerate.
Softener/Filter Meter Immediate - When volume remaining
reaches zero, the unit will regenerate.
Time Clock - Once volume remaining reached zero and the
selected regeneration time is reached (default 2 a.m. softener;
12 a.m. filter), the unit will regenerate.
Day of the Week - Once volume remaining reaches zero and
the selected Day of the Week is reached, the unit will regenerate.
Remote Regeneration - Remote Regeneration is accomplished
by a 3rd party device completing a contact closure connected
to the remote regeneration input connector. The 3rd party device
must complete the signal duration time that was set in the dura-
tion signal time in programming to start a regeneration. You
can set the remote regeneration for immediate regeneration or
delayed regeneration at the set time that was programmed for
regeneration time in programming.
