Exposure to such hydrocarbons may cause the products to leak. DO NOT USE the product(s) contained in this document on water supplies that contain hydrocarbons such as kerosene, benzene, gasoline, etc. The Tech Series water meter should not be used as the primary monitoring device for critical or health • effect applications.

(or equivalent) fully automatic control valve is designed as the primary control center to direct and regulate all cycles of a water softener or filter. When the Tech Series control valve is manufactured as a softener, the control valve can be ordered to perform downflow or upflow regeneration. When the Tech Series control valve is set up as a filter, the control valve can be set to perform downflow regeneration or simply backwash.
Page 6 Drive Assembly The drive assembly consists of the following parts: 1. Drive Bracket 2. Printed Circuit (PC) Board 3. Motor 4. Drive Gears 5. Drive Gear Cover The drive bracket holds the PC board, the motor, the drive gears, and the drive gear cover in place. The PC board receives and retains information, displays the information, determines when to regenerate, and initiates regeneration.
Page 7 Injector Cap, Screen, Injector Plug, and Injector The screen, injector, and/or injector plug(s) are installed under the injector cap in an easy-to-access location on top of the valve. The injector cap contains four slots so no water accumulates in the cap. The injector cap is designed to be hand tightened.
Page 8 Refill Flow Control Assembly or Refill Port Plug The refill flow control assembly consists of an elbow, flow control retainer, and flow control washer. The flow control retainer fits in the elbow. The flow control retainer houses the flow control washer which controls the flow rate when the regenerant tank is being refilled.
Control valves without meters should only be set up for time clock operation (i.e. no water meter, no demand-initiated regeneration). Control valves with water meters provide a wider variety of useful information. See Operation & Instruction Manuals for more information concerning specific Tech Series Control Valves. Mixing Valve (Optional) The mixing valve is installed on the outlet side of the control valve.
Page 10 Installation Fitting Assemblies The installation fittings are used to connect the optional bypass or the control valve to the plumbing system. See pages 33 to 36 for available fitting assemblies. The installation fitting assemblies are sold in pairs and consist of two fittings, two nuts, two split rings, and two o-rings. The installation fitting assemblies and the bypass valve are sold separately from the control valve.
Page 12 Installation Allow one foot of clearance to service the control valve. The control valve will withstand transportation and storage temperatures of -13°F (-25°C) to 131°F (55°C), and for short periods up to 158°F (70°C). If the control valve has been exposed to freezing conditions, let the valve warm up to room temperature before running water through it. The control valve has been packaged to prevent damage from the effects of normal humidity, vibration, and shock.

Page 13 Installation Fitting Assemblies The installation fittings connect to the control valve or the bypass valve using nuts that only require hand tightening. Hand tightened nut connections between the control valve and installation fittings, the control valve and bypass valve, and the bypass valve and installation fittings allow for easy serviceability.
Page 14 Service Instructions NOTE: When servicing the control valve, water may leak from the valve. Water from the valve may create a slip hazard. Clean up ALL water spills. ALWAYS disconnect the control valve from electrical power prior to servicing the valve. Drive Assembly Remove the valve cover to access the drive assembly.
