Unconditioned water in Conditioned water out Figure 6 Typical Plumbing for Twin Tank Systems.
WARNING: Filter media may need to be properly conditioned before the filter is placed into full operation. Consult the original equipment manufacturer for proper procedure. Unit in Service BY BY PA S S PA S S Location Selection The following considerations must be taken into account when selecting the location for the water conditioning system. Unit in Bypass • Locate the system as close to a drain as possible.
Drain Line Connection Note: Standard commercial practices are expressed here. Local codes may require changes to the following suggestions. Check with local authorities before installing a water conditioning system. The system should be above, and not more than 20 feet (6.1 m) from a drain. Connect an appropriate fitting and 1/2-inch (1.3-cm) plastic tubing to the drain line connection on the rear of the control valve. If the backwash flow is more than 5 gpm or if the unit is located more than 20 feet (6.
Electrical Connection Note: Do not elevate the overflow line higher than 3 inches (7.6 cm) below the bottom of the overflow fitting. Do not tie into the drain line of the control unit. The overflow line must be a direct, separate line from the overflow fitting to the drain, sewer, or tub. Allow an air gap as in the drain line connection, Figure 10. Caution: This valve and control are for dry location use only unless used with a Listed Class 2 power supply suitable for outdoor use.
Disinfection of Water Conditioning Systems Calcium Hypochlorite Calcium hypochlorite, 70% available chlorine, is available in several forms including tablets and granules. These solid materials may be used directly without dissolving before use. The materials of construction in the modern water conditioning system will not support bacterial growth, nor will these materials contaminate a water supply.
System Operation Treated Water (Downflow) Repressurization – Cycle C4 Untreated water is conditioned as it flows through the resin bed and up the riser. Pressure is balanced in the valve before continuing the regeneration. Backwash (Upflow) – Cycle C1 Fast Rinse (Downflow) - Cycle C5 Flow is reversed by the control valve, directed down the riser, up through the resin bed and sent to drain. The bed is expanded and debris is flushed to the drain.
Camshaft Cycle Positions 3 = Slow Rinse Cycle The front end of the camshaft has an indicator cup. The cup has slots in the outer edge and cycle numbers on the inside face (Figure 12). 5 = Fast Rinse Cycle 1 4 = System Pause 6 = 2 nd Backwash 7 = 2 nd Fast Rinse Remove the cover and look over the top of the 764 control to view the cycle numbers. The number at the top indicates the current cycle position of the control valve.

Placing Water Conditioning System Into Operation After you have performed the installation steps, the conditioner will need to be placed into operation. Follow these steps carefully, (pages 16 to 21) as they differ from previous Autotrol valve instructions. Note: Do not plug in the power supply until step 5. The tank(s) will fill with water. The air will exit through the faucet. When water flows steady from the faucet, the tank(s) are purged.
These cam movements may take up to 5 minutes.

Placing Water Conditioning System Into Operation (continued) B. If the tank has a salt platform in the bottom of the tank, add water until the water level is approximately 1 inch (25 mm) above the platform. Caution: If your system is a 255A (Alternating) go to “Quick Cyling the Control for 255A Systems”. Note: It’s recommended that you do not put regenerant into the tank until after the control valve has been put into operation.
255 Alternating tank systems have one Logix 764 control that is mounted on tank 1. Tank 2 has a blank faceplate and the tank 2 valve is controlled by the Logix 764 control on tank 1. C. Observe that water is being drawn from the regenerant tank for at least three minutes. If the water level does not recede, check all regenerant line connections for air leaks. 8. If the water level is receding from the regenerant tank you can quick cycle the control to the C8 Regenerant tank refill position.
The Alternating Water Conditioning System is Now Fully Operational 2. Press and hold the button for 5 seconds. This will start the second regeneration. Quick cycle as Tank 2 moves through cycles: Note: After any control reset (valve type or system change, etc.) it is necessary to initiate a manual regeneration and quick cycle through it. This will ensure the control and cam are synchronized.

Manual Regeneration Options Note: The tank in service (on-line) cannot be regenerated while the other tanks are isolated. Water for backwash would not be available. The 764 control features several options that offer additional flexibility for manually regenerating the conditioner. On alternating systems the tank in standby will move through regeneration to service. The tank in service will move through regeneration to standby.
Regeneration Modes for Parallel Systems Table 5 P16 = 0 Parameter P16 is used to determine the method for demand initiated regeneration. Four regeneration modes are possible. • • • • P16 = 0, Delayed Regeneration with a Smart Reserve Regenerations will start only at the Time of Regeneration entered in P2. A tank is regenerated if the capacity remaining in that tank is below the minimum required capacity needed to meet the next days calculated water usage requirement.
