START-UP INSTRUCTIONS FOR MODELS 7-LXKATAIRO3
As noted on page 5 General Installation Instructions, DO NOT SOAK KATALOX-LIGHT in water prior to start-up. Do
not plug the transformers into the receptacles yet. Rotate the bypass handles to the BYPASS position (see figure 2 on page
4). Turn on main water supply. Open a cold water faucet. This will clear the line of any debris that may be in the line. Let water
run at faucet for a couple minutes, or until clear. Turn off faucet. Now plug the filter control valve transformer into a 120 volt
receptacle (be certain the receptacle is uninterrupted). Within 5 seconds the control display and buttons will illuminate and the
time of day screen will appear. Also, now plug the transformer supplied with the Enhanced Oxidation Generator (EOG) into a
120V uninterrupted receptacle and the male DC plug end into the female DC jack located at the back of the EOG.
• Press and hold the
REGEN
SOLID BLUE to SOLID GREEN.
The display will first read AIR RELEASE and count down 1 second.
•
The display will now read FILTERING and count down 1 minute.
•
• The control valve will repeat this sequence two more times.
• Wait until display reads BACKWASH, the motor stops running, and numbers start counting down. Unplug the filter control
valve transformer so the filter will not cycle to the next position.
SLOWLY turn bypass valve to DIAGNOSTIC position (see figure 3 on page 4) to allow water to slowly enter filter in order to
expel air.
CAUTION:The Katalox-Light mineral is dry, and filling to quickly with water will result in the mineral plugging the drain
line and control valve assembly. Flow water to drain very slowly, increasing the flow until the water runs clear.
CAUTION:DO NOT SOAK KATALOX-LIGHT. Water pH increment might be observed with newly installed Katalox-Light
(which eventually will stabilize to the inlet water pH with time). To prevent pH increment, allow the filter to backwash
Katalox-Light for at least 60 minutes.
After at least an hour has passed and when water is flowing steadily to drain, clear and without the presence of air, plug the
control valve transformer into the receptacle to restore power. Display will again read BACKWASH and resume counting down.
Momentarily press again. Display will read REGENERANT DRAW DN; allow this 30 minute cycle to complete. This
REGEN
allows a head of ozone to form inside the filter tank for the ozone over mineral filter to function properly. The factory installed
Enhanced Oxidation Generator (EOG) is activated by the filter control valve's programmed timing schedule...
EOG ON: Approx. 1 minute after the REGENERANT DRAW DN cycle begins - the EOG Green LED light will blink quickly
(up to 3 seconds), then solid; CD cell producing ozone.
EOG OFF: Approx. 1 to 2 minutes before the REGENERANT DRAW DN cycle ends - the EOG Green LED light will blink
slowly; unit is powered but in standby mode.
The EOG generator is an enhancement of the air over mineral filter; the controlled amount of ozone in the filter will increase the
oxidation process while providing anti-microbial protection against "nuisance" bacteria* slime buildup within the filter tank and
the odors related to the buildup. The filter tank has an air blocker device installed inside the top dome that blocks ozone from
re-entering the control valve body thereby reducing iron oxidation in the control valve and extending the valve's service life. The
filter control valve will automatically advance to the FILTERING position and the display will change color to SOLID BLUE. Place
the bypass valve in the NORMAL OPERATION MODE (see figure 1 on page 4).
Continue to page 12-15 for General Operation, User and Installer Display Settings.
Refer to the EOG ozone generator manual provided with 7-LXKATAIRO3 models for EOG operation, maintenance and trouble
shooting instructions.
