pg. 3 Normal Operation 1. Home Display - Alternates between the display of Time of Day and Number of Days until the Next Regeneration. - Days Remaining until the Next Regeneration will count down from the entered Regeneration Day Override Value until it reaches 1 day remaining. - A Regeneration Cycle will then be initiated at the next designated regeneration time. - Metered models alternate the Time of Day and Gallons left until the next Regeneration. The meter will count down to zero (0000) and then regenerate at the scheduled time set. 2. Battery Back-Up (Uses a standard 9-volt alkaline battery.) - Installing the battery - Features of Battery Back-Up Maintains the Time of Day during power failures. Notes: 1) During power failures, the display is turned off to conserve battery power. However, to confirm that the battery is working, press either button and the display will turn on for five (5) seconds. 2) If power failure occurs while system is regenerating, the Signature Series II will motor to a shut off position to prevent constant flow to drain. Note: Depending upon system pressure and other factors, it is possible to observe a reduced flow to drain during this step. After power is restored, the Signature Series II will return and finish the cycle where it left off prior to the power interruption. 3) When used without battery back-up, the unit acts like a standard valve. When a power failure occurs, the unit stops at its current point in the regeneration position and then restarts at that point when the power is restored. However, the time will be offset by the increment of time the unit was without power.

pg. 7 Final Set-Up With proper valve operation verified (Softeners only): 1. Add water to the top of the air check. Manually step the valve to the Brine Cycle (position 2) and allow the valve to draw water from the brine tank until it stops. Note: The air check will check at approximately the midpoint of the screened intake area. 2. Next, manually step the valve to the Brine Refill position and allow the valve to return to Service automatically. 3. With the valve in Service, check that there is about 3 to 5 inches of water level above the grid in the brine tank, if used. 4. Fill the brine tank with salt to complete set-up. The control will run automatically. Error Codes There are four (4) error codes which could indicate a possible problem with the control valve: Error 2 - Homing slot expected. Valve will begin searching for home. (Normal operation continues.) Error 3 - Encoder is not sending a signal. (Valve requires service to continue.) Error 4 - Unable to find homing slot. (Valve requires service to continue.) Error 5 - Motor overload (stalled position or shorted motor). (Valve requires service to continue.) Error 5 Explanation: The unit thinks the motor is locked. This can only happen when the valve is running the motor, it is not seeing any encoder slots, and the motor is overloaded. This usually alerts the presence of foreign debris inside the valve clogging the system.
pg. 8 Master Programming Mode To enter Master Programming Mode, press and hold both buttons for 5 seconds. Note: All Master Programming functions have been preset at the factory. Unless a change is desired, it is NOT necessary to enter Master Programming Mode. 1. Regeneration Type (t) N/A for Nitro / Nitro Pro - This display is used to set the Regeneration Type. This option setting is identified by the letter “t” in the left digit. There are two possible settings: - Timeclock / Filter Delayed – The control will determine that regeneration is required when the set regeneration time has been reached. The regeneration frequency setting will determine which days a regeneration cycle will be initiated. Example ( t - - c ). - Meter Delayed (Demand) – The control will determine that regeneration is required when the available volume of softened water drops to or below zero. Regeneration is to begin at the scheduled time set. Example ( t - - d ). ● The Set/Change button will adjust this value. To accept the digit value, press the Menu/Enter button. 2. Regeneration Day Override (A) – Meter (Demand) Mode Only – Softeners Only - Press Menu/Enter button. This display is used to set the maximum amount of time (in days) the unit can be in service without regeneration. This option setting is identified by the letter “A” in the left digit. Regeneration will begin at the scheduled time. A setting of zero will cancel this feature. - Example: Override every 7 days (A-07), default setting, or cancel setting (A-00). Maximum is 29. 3. To Set Regeneration Time ( r ) Example [ r 12A ] - The time of day at which regeneration may take place is designated by the letter “r”. - The first display digit indicates A.M. or P.M. To change the value, press the Set/Change button. - Press Menu/Enter button to accept the value and move to the next digit. - The second and third display digits indicate the hour at which the regeneration will occur. - Change the digits with the Set/Change button and accept with the Menu/Enter button. - After the entire display flashes, press the Menu/Enter button to move to the next menu item. 4.

Regeneration at wrong time Time of day improperly set, due to power failure Reset time of day programming and install 9-volt battery Regeneration time set improperly Reset regeneration time programming 3. Loss of capacity Increase raw water hardness Reset unit to the new capacity Brine concentration and/or quantity Keep brine tank full of salt at all times. Clean it yearly. Salt may be bridged. If using a salt grid plate, ensure refill water is over it. Resin fouling Call dealer. Find out how to confirm it. Clean the resin and prevent future fouling. Poor distribution, channeling (uneven bed surface) Call dealer. Check distributors and backwash flow. Internal valve leak Call dealer. Replace spacers, seals and/or piston. Resin age Call dealer. Check for resin oxidation caused by chlorine. Mushy resin. Resin loss Call dealer. Check for correct bed depth. Broken distributors. Air or gas in bed: well gas eliminator. Loose brine line. 4. Poor water quality Check items listed in #1, #2, & #3 Bypass valve open Close bypass valve. Channeling Check for too slow or high service flow. Check for media fouling.
pg. 24 SYMPTOMS PROBABLE CAUSE CORRECTION 5. High salt usage High salt setting Adjust brine tank refill time Excessive water in brine tank See symptom # 7. Constant flow through the unit Indicates plumbing leak (i.e. toilet tank) Improperly set hardness Reset programming 6. Loss of water pressure Scaling / fouling of inlet pipe Clean or replace pipeline. Pretreat to prevent. Fouled resin Clean resin. Pretreat to prevent. Improper backwash Too many resin fines and/or sediment. Call dealer. Reset backwash flow rate, and/or adjust. 7. Excessive water in brine tank and/or salty water to service Plugged drain line Check flow to drain. Clean flow control. Dirty or damaged brine valve Clean or replace brine valve. Plugged injector Clean injector and replace screen. Low inlet pressure Increase pressure to allow injector to perform properly. (20 psig minimum) Excessive brine refill cycle time Reset brine refill cycle time. 8. Softener fails to use salt Check items listed in #1 Improper control valve programming Check and reset programming Plugged/restricted drain line Clean drain line and/or flow control Injector is plugged Clean or replace injector and screen No water in brine tank Check for restriction in BLFC. Ensure safety float is not stuck. Check brine tank for leaks. Water pressure is too low Line pressure must be at least 20 psi. Brine line injects air during brine draw Check brine line for air leaks Internal control leak Call dealer. Check piston, seals and spacers for scratches and dents. 9. Control cycles continuously Faulty circuit board Replace circuit board. 10. Continuous flow to drain Foreign material in control Call dealer. Clean valve, rebuild unit. Internal control leak Same as above. Valve jammed in backwash, brine or rapid rinse position Same as above. Motor stopped or jammed. Replace motor.
