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.

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.

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. To Activate Oxyclean NP Program (Nitro Pro Only)
- “J” program is selectable either off – 0 (default setting) or on – 1.
- To activate the non-adjustable cycles for the Oxyclean NP, select J-1 with the Set/Change button and
enter with the Menu/Enter button.
pg. 9
5. To Set Regeneration Cycle Step Times Softeners/Filters Only (1) (2) (3) (4) Example [ 3 – 20 ]
- The next 4 displays set the duration of time in minutes for each backwash cycle step.
- The step number which is currently modifiable is indicated on the far left of the display screen.
- The number of minutes allotted for the selected backwash step is displayed on the far right.
- Change the digit values using the Set/Change and Menu/Enter buttons as described above.
5. To Set Backwash Cycle Step Times Nitro (2) (3) (4) (5) / Nitro Pro (5) (6) (7) (8) Example [ 3 – 20 ]
- The next 4 displays set the duration of time in minutes for each backwash cycle step.
- The step number which is currently modifiable is indicated on the far left of the display screen.
- The number of minutes allotted for the selected backwash step is displayed on the far right.
- Change the digit values using the Set/Change and Menu/Enter buttons as described above.
Note on Air Draw Cycle (4): Nitro Filter Only (7) Nitro Pro Only
The longer the unit is set to remain in the Air Draw cycle (4), the more air is drawn into the system. A
default setting of 12 minutes draws air down to the level of a normal media bed height and then returns
the unit to the home display. If the system needs more air, increase the time setting for step (4) or
decrease the number of days between air draw cycles. There is no way to view the number of days
until the next air draw will take place.
5. System Capacity in Grains ( c ) – Meter (Demand) Only
- Press the Menu/Enter button. This display is used to set the system capacity in grains and is used in
conjunction with the hardness setting to calculate total gallons of treated water available between
regenerations. This option is identified by the letter “c” in the left digit. The maximum value for this item
is 399. Example: 32,000 grain capacity ( c 032 ).
6. To Exit the Master Programming Mode, press the Menu/Enter button until time of day returns.
Note: If no buttons are pressed for 60 seconds, the Master Programming Mode will be exited automatically.
