Introduction
The Technetic Plus 1100 Control valve provides sophisticated,
demand-based water conditioning by incorporating a
microprocessor and a water meter to electronically monitor
the amount of water used daily. This fully programmable
control allows you to fine tune the conditioner’s operation to
meet your customer’s application. The Technetic Plus valve
combines design simplicity with reinforced Noryl*
construction to provide an uncommonly reliable appliance.
The inherent reliability of the system means a long life of
efficient, trouble-free water conditioning.
*Noryl is a trademark of General Electric Co.
Special Features
• Memory Retention. During a power outage, critical
operating information in the control’s memory is stored
in a special electronic device. This information includes
the time of day, water usage amounts, daily average
water usage, all programming data and the number of
days since the last regeneration. When power is restored,
the information is returned to the microprocessor and
operation resumes as if an outage never occurred.
• Battery Backup. The non-rechargeable battery backup
feature allows the control to keep track of time and any
water usage for up to 48 hours during a power outage.
• Fully Programmable Regeneration Cycle Times. The
control is factory programmed with typical regeneration
cycle times for easy installation. The control allows the
Refill, Rinse, Backwash and Purge cycle times to be set
by the installer to fine tune the conditioner’s operation.
• Automatic Double Regeneration for Exhausted Resin
Beds. If the water usage exceeds 150% of the system
capacity between regenerations, the control will
automatically call for a second regeneration the next day
even if no water is used. This feature is included to make
sure that an exhausted resin bed is completely recharged.
• Selectable Reserve Options. The control can be
programmed to operate with one of four different reserve
options (see Parameter P15, Table 3.) The options
include starting a regeneration only at a specific time of
day or having an immediate regeneration when the
capacity is exhausted. The control can also have a fixed
reserve which is a percentage of the total system capacity
or a variable reserve which adjusts the reserve depending
upon the water usage patterns of your customer.
• Separate Time of Day and Time of Regeneration
Settings. The control defaults to a 2:00 a.m. regeneration
time for easy installation, but the installer may set the
regeneration to occur at any time of the day.
• WQA S-101 Features. The control can be programmed
to freeze the values for salt amount and capacity so the
customer cannot alter them after installation (see
Parameter P18, Table 3.)
• Selectable 12 or 24-Hour Clock. (See Parameter P13.
Table 3.)
• Selectable U.S. or Metric Units of Measure. Use grains
per gallon of hardness, pounds of salt, and kilograins of
capacity for U.S. units. Use milligrams per liter of
hardness, kilograms of salt and kilograms of capacity for
metric units (see Parameter P12, Table 3.)
• Selectable Calendar Override. One to thirty days are
available to automatically regenerate the conditioner if
the water usage has not caused a regeneration. The
default value is zero which disables this feature (see
Parameter P14, Table 3.)
• Design Reliability. Solid-state electronics assure many
years of trouble-free performance. The metering system
has only one moving part, the rotating turbine that
measures water usage and generates electrical pulses that
are counted by the microprocessor to determine the need
to regenerate.
• Guest Cycle. An extra regeneration can be achieved at
any time by pressing the REGEN button on the
Technetic Plus front panel. It takes just a few minutes for the
regeneration to start. The regeneration process will be
completed in about 1 hour, based on the size of the
system. This feature is beneficial when the customer
expects to use more than the normal amount of water; for
example, guest visits or an extra heavy laundry day.
• Manual Double Regeneration. Back-to-back
regenerations can be run by pressing the REGEN push
button after the first regeneration has been running for at
least one minute.
