Brine Draw Value
Parameter P7 is used by the control to calculate the brine draw
time. The default value of 20 was selected for an “H“ or “J” injector
with low water pressure. If this does not match your installation,
press the SET button and enter a new value. Refer to Table 4 for the
correct value. Find the injector used in the Avantapure valve. The
injector cap is labeled with the injector letter and the injector is color
coded for easy identication. Next, determine the typical water
pressure for this installation. The Brine Draw Value is an estimate
of the ow rate of brine through the injector. This rate varies with
water pressure and injector type as shown in Table 4 . The control
calculates the brine draw time using this value and the salt amount.
The brine draw time is added to the Rinse Time (P10) to determine
the total Brine Draw/Slow Rinse Time.

• This control does not use Parameter P8. No entry is needed for
this parameter.
• Parameter P12 selects the units of measure. Be sure that this is
set to the correct value before entering any data for Parameters
P3, P4 or P5.
• Parameter P13 selects the clock display mode. If the 12-hour
mode is selected, a PM indicator is used. If the 24-hour mode
is selected, the PM indicator is not used.
• Parameter P15 has four allowable values. Values 0 or 1 will
cause the control to wait for Parameter P2, time of day of
regeneration, to begin the regeneration. Values 2 or 3 will cause
the control to start the regeneration as soon as the capacity is
exhausted.
• When Parameter P15 selects a variable reserve type, 0 or 2,
Parameter P16 is used to calculate the initial seven average
daily water usage values. The control multiplies the total
capacity by the percentage entered for Parameter P16 and
uses that value as the initial average daily usage for each day of
the week until water usage establishes new averages.
• Parameter 17 has several allowable values, however, many
are reserved for future options and thus should not be used.
Improper regenerations will occur if P17 is not set to 2.
• Parameter P18 allows the installer to lock the Salt Amount and
Capacity values so they cannot be changed. When Parameter
18 is set to 1, those two settings can only be viewed when the
control is in the Level II mode. The settings will be skipped
when the control is in the Level I mode. When Parameter 18 is
set to zero, the Salt Amount and Capacity can be viewed and
changed in either Level I or Level II.
• Parameter P19 is used at the factory to enter default values.
This parameter does not need to be changed. Using this
parameter will erase the values for all other parameters and
replace them with default values.
Manual Regeneration
Electricity is used only to run the timer and to rotate the
camshaft. All other functions are operated by water pressure.
Therefore, in the event of a power outage, all regeneration
positions may be dialed manually. Manual regeneration
can be accomplished by removing the cover and turning
the camshaft COUNTERCLOCKWISE to each regeneration
cycle. Rotating the camshaft COUNTERCLOCKWISE by hand
changes the cycles of operation. Each cycle position can be
identied by viewing the cycle indicator on the front of the
control. The following cycle times should be used for proper
regeneration:
BACKWASH—14 minutes
BRINE/SLOW RINSE—62 minutes
FAST RINSE/REFILL—10 minutes
Do not exceed 10 minutes for the FAST RINSE/REFILL cycle
as this will cause excessive salt usage during the next
regeneration and possibly a salt residue in the softened
water.
Guest Cycle
To force the control to perform a regeneration, press the
REGEN button (Figure 6). This button is located on the front of
the control. When the REGEN button is pressed, the control
performs a full regeneration of the conditioner.
If this button is pressed again more than one minute after
regeneration begins, but before the regeneration is complete,
a second regeneration will start when the rst regeneration
is nished. The display will freeze and only show the
Regen Time Remaining as an indication that the second
regeneration will be performed. When the rst regeneration
is complete, the second one will begin and the display will
alternate between Time of Day and Regen Time Remaining.
Automatic Regeneration
There are two ways to have the control automatically start a
regeneration: calendar override or having the control monitor
the water usage.
Calendar Override
This feature is set in Parameter P14. It can be set for one
to 30 days. If it is set to zero, this feature is disabled. When
this feature is active, the control keeps track of the number
of days since the last regeneration and when that number
equals the value set in P14, a regeneration is automatically
started at the Time of Regeneration set in P2.
