Things You Might Need To Know; Programming Overview - GE AvantaPure Operation Manual

Things You Might Need to Know

• When the controller is first plugged in, it may display a
flashing Err 3 and scrolling "Call Dealer for Service"
message. This means that the controller is rotating to
the home position. The Err 3 will clear when the
control reaches the home position.
• The preset default time of regeneration is 2:00 AM. If
you want to change it, see the Level II Programming
section.
• The controller can be programmed to regenerate on
specific days of the week. See Level II Programming
section.
• If electrical power is not available, the camshaft can
be rotated counterclockwise by hand if the motor is
removed.
• The AvantaPure controller sends commands to the
motor for camshaft movement. However, water
pressure/flow are required during the regeneration
cycle for backwash, purge and refill, and brine draw
to actually take place.
• Make sure control power source is plugged in. The
transformer should be connected to a non-switched
power source.

Programming Overview

The AvantaPure controller is designed to operate by
setting the Time of Day, Day of the Week, and the
Hardness. The remaining settings are set at the factory
using a Model Number.
The buttons on the keypad are used to adjust the settings
of the controller.
The controller menu has three levels:
Level I Basic — This level is easily accessed by the user. Only
the Time of Day, Day of Week and Time of Regeneration
can be changed in Level I.
Level II Professional — This level allows the installer to
change settings such as hardness, capacity, and cycle
times.
Level III History — This operation history and the program
are viewable. This information is used to troubleshoot and
maintain the system.
Note: If a button is not pushed for thirty seconds, the
controller returns to normal operation mode.
