Installer manual Fleck 3900 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 with time NXT2 may control more than four valves.
Installer manual Fleck 3900 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 3900 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.
