Controller Electrical Connections Electrical Connections: Power supply and drive motor cables include cable harnesses that are already connected to the control board. If these cable need to be disconnected from the control board, pull on the white connectors while rocking side to side. DO NOT pull on the wires.
OEM General Programming Instructions The control valve offers multiple procedures that allow the valve to be modified to suit the needs of the installation. These procedures are: • OEM Configuration Setup • User Display Settings • OEM Softener System Setup •...

OEM General Programming Instructions A unique feature of this control valve is the ability to display actual water usage for the last 63 days. The values are initially stored as dashes, meaning the value is unknown. As days pass, values are stored as 0 for no flow or the actual volume of water. The system begins counting water usage at the regeneration time.
Only use Watts no hard water bypass valves or Watts motorized alternating valves (MAV) with these selections. Watts no hard water bypass valves (1" or 1.25" V3070FF or V3070FM) are not designed to be used with the Alternator or Separate Source functions.
Page 19
CLS-150 and CLS-200 For Watts alternator systems using CLS-150 and CLS-200 valves, there will be an option to delay the Valves last 2 cycles of regeneration (Rinse and Fill). This feature splits the regeneration into 2 portions. The first portion of the regeneration will start immediately and all programmed cycles before Rinse and Fill will be performed.
Page 20
• OFF: Deactivates this output. Only use Watts MAVs with these selections. Watts no hard water bypass valves (1" or 1.25" V3070FF or V3070FM) are not designed to be used with the Time or Separate Source functions.

OEM Configuration Setup Step 6CS – Auxiliary Input: Allows the use of an outside signal to control the initiation of a regen- STEP 6CS eration. Selection only matters if a connection is made to the 2-pin connector labeled DP SWITCH located on the printed circuit board.
OEM Filter System Setup Step 1F – Press NEXT and simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. If screen in Step 2F does not STEP 1F appear in 5 seconds, the lock on the valve is activated. To unlock, press , NEXT, , and CLOCK in sequence, and try again.
Page 23
OEM Filter System Setup Step 6F – Relay 1 Output: Use to select one of the following options: STEP 6F • REGEN TIME: Relay activates a set time after the start of regeneration and deactivates after a set period of time. The start of regeneration is defined as the first regeneration cycle that is NOT Fill, Softening, or Filtering.
Page 24
OEM Filter System Setup Step 7F(A) – Relay 2 Actuation: Use to set the actuation value. The unit and range will vary depending STEP 7F(A) on the selection in Step 7F. • Regen Time: Set the length of time after the start of regeneration prior to relay activation (Range: 0 – 500 minutes).
Setting Options Table REGENERATION SYSTEM REGENERATION OPERATION DESCRIPTION TYPE OPTION OVERRIDE TYPE Regeneration occurs at the next regeneration time when volume capacity falls below the Softening Auto Normal 1 – 28 days reserve capacity, or the specified number of days is reached, whichever comes first. Regeneration occurs at the next regeneration time when volume capacity falls below the Softening Auto...
Installer Display Settings Step 1I – Press NEXT and simultaneously for 3 seconds. STEP 1I Step 2I – Hardness: Use to set the amount of hardness in grains of hardness as calcium carbonate STEP 2I per gallon (Range: 1 – 150 grains). The grains per gallon can be increased if soluble iron needs to be reduced.
User Display Settings General Operation: When the system is operating, one of several displays may be shown. The displays normally rotate; however, pressing NEXT will pause on the selected display for 5 minutes. Press NEXT to alternate between the displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day. Days Remaining is the number of days left before the system goes through a regeneration cycle.
User Display Settings Manual Regeneration: Sometimes, there is a need to regenerate the system sooner than when the system calls for it, usually referred to as manual regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry day.
User Display Settings Power Loss: If the power goes out the system will keep time until the battery is depleted. If an extended power outage occurs, the time of day will flash on and off which indicates the time of day should be reset and the non rechargeable battery replaced. The system will remember the rest.
Diagnostics Step 1D – Press simultaneously for 3 seconds. STEP 1D Step 2D – Days Since Last Regeneration. STEP 2D Press NEXT to go to Step 3D. Press REGEN to exit Diagnostics. Step 3D – Volume Since Last Regeneration: This display will show zero if a water meter is not installed. STEP 3D Press NEXT to go to Step 4D.
