DCS1 START - UP STEPS
1.(A). Add approximately 5" of water to the brine tank (if Brine Tank is supplied with a grid plate fill until water is
about 1" above grid).
* NOTE: Start-Up only one unit at a time.
2.(A). Close the Inlet and Outlet Isolation Valves to each unit and open the By-Pass Valve. Verify flow through By-
Pass before proceeding.
3.(A). Connect the Water Softener to the power supply. Program time of day, day of week and hardness. For twin
or triple water softeners interconnecting wiring should be connected before powering up. Wires will be labeled as
to which unit they are to be plugged. The interconnecting wires are designed to all plug in and are keyed to only fit
to the port in which they go. Also be sure to plug and secure meter cables. ( For a twin a single wire comes out of
the main control valve and splits to 1 and 2. 1 is wired to the short meter cable that plugs into the main control and
2 gets wired to the long meter cable that connects to unit number two. All meter cables connect to outlet of valve.)
CONSULT THE PROVIDED SERVICE MANUAL TO PERFORM THE FOLLOWING STEPS:
4.Advance the Control Valve to the Backwash Position. To do this push and hold regeneration button for 5 seconds
5.(A). SLOWLY open the Inlet Valve when C1is showing on logix controller. Do NOT open the Inlet Valve com-
pletely. (The incoming water is now being forced to the bottom of the tank, up through the media, and out the
drain.) Disconnect power until all air is purged.
NOTE: If the tank(s) was not filled with water before valves were installed (recommended) you
*
will hear air coming out the drain line.
CAUTION: If media begins to come out of the drain, close the inlet valve even further. Media
*
should never come out of the drain line.
6.Let the water run from the Drain Line for about 5 minutes, or until drain water is clear.
