Water Specialist 1.5" CI and 2LCI Control Valve

Programming and Drawings Manual

OEM General Instructions

The control valve offers multiple procedures that allow the valve to be modified to suit the needs of the installation. These procedures are:

•          OEM Cycle Sequence

•          OEM Softener System Setup

•          OEM Filter System Setup

•          Installer Display Settings

•          User Display Settings

•          Diagnostics

•          Valve History

Once the OEM Cycle Sequence has been set, the other procedures can be accessed in any order. Details on each of the procedures are provided on the following pages.

To “lock out” access to diagnostic and valve history displays and modifications to settings except hardness, day override, time of regeneration and time of day by anyone but the manufacturer, press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and SET CLOCK in sequence after settings are made. To “unlock”, so other displays can be viewed and changes can be made, press ▼, NEXT, ▲, and SET CLOCK in sequence.

When in operation normal user displays such as time of day, volume remaining before regeneration, present flow rate or days remaining before regeneration are shown. When stepping through a procedure, if no buttons are pressed within five minutes, the display returns to a normal user display. Any changes made prior to the five minute time out are incorporated.

To quickly exit OEM Softener Setup, OEM Filter Setup, Installer Display Settings, Diagnostics or Valve History press SET CLOCK. Any changes made prior to the exit are incorporated.

When desired, all information in Diagnostics may be reset to zero when the valve is installed in a new location. To reset to zero, press NEXT and ▼ buttons simultaneously to go to the Service/OEM 1 Screen. Press ▲ and ▼ simultaneously to reset diagnostic values to zero. Screen will return to User Display.

Sometimes it is desirable to have the valve initiate and complete two regenerations within 24 hours and then return to the preset regeneration procedure. It is possible to do a double regeneration if the control valve is set to “NORMAL” or “NORMAL + on 0” in OEM Softener System Setup or OEM Filter System Setup. To do a double regeneration:

1.  Press the “REGEN” button once. REGEN TODAY will flash on the display.

2.  Press and hold the “REGEN” button for three seconds until the valve regeneration initiates.

Once the valve has completed the immediate regeneration, the valve will regenerate one more time at the preset regeneration time.

Step 3CS – Allows selection of one of the following:

•  an outside signal to initiate a regeneration;

•  the Control Valve to act as an alternator; or

•  the Control Valve to have no hard water bypass.

Selecting the use of an outside signal to initiate a regeneration: Selection only matters if a connection is made to the two pin connector labeled DP SWITCH located on the printed circuit board. Following is an explanation of the options:

dPon0 - If the dP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 minutes a regeneration will occur immediately.

dPdEL - If the dP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 minutes a regeneration will occur at the scheduled regeneration time.

HoLd - If the dP switch is closed a regeneration will be prevented from occuring.

Selecting the Control Valve to act as an alternator:

Note: Also must do one of the following:

•      If set up for a softener, in Step 4CS select -nA-; in Step 7S & 8S, set Volume Capacity in M3; in Step 9S select

Regeneration Time Option “on 0”; and in Step 4I select Day Override “oFF”.

•      If set up for a filter, in Step 7F set Volume Capacity in M3; in Step 8F select Regeneration Time Option “on 0”; and in Step 4I select Day Override “oFF”.

Select ALTA for the control valve that has the two pin connector labeled DRIVE connected to the alternator valve motor.

Select ALTb for the control valve that will not be connected to the alternator valve motor.

Configuring the Control Valve for No Hard Water Bypass Operation:

nHbP - Selection requires that a connection to a Clack Motorized Alternator Valve (MAV) is made to the two pin connector labeled ALTERNATOR DRIVE located on the printed circuit board. The B port of the MAV must be plugged and the valve outlet connected to the A port. The MAV will be driven closed before the first regeneration cycle that is not FILL or SOFTENING or FILTERING, and be driven open after the last regeneration cycle that is not FILL.

Press NEXT to go to Step 4CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Step 4CS – Determine the measurement to calculate volumetric capacity. The choices are:

ppm       parts per million

FH         French degrees

dH         German degrees

-nA-       Using -nA- will allow the OEM to directly place the volume of water treated in place of system capacity in the OEM Softener System Setup level. NOTE: If control is going to be used in a filter application any of these settings can be used.

Press NEXT to go to Step 5CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Step 5CS – Press the ▼ or ▲ buttons until BACKWASH appears. Press NEXT to go to Step 6CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Step 6CS - Press the ▼ or ▲ buttons until dn BRINE appears. Press NEXT to go to Step 7CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Step 7CS - Press the ▼ or ▲ buttons until RINSE appears. Press NEXT to go to Step 8CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Step 8CS - Press the ▼ or ▲ buttons until FILL appears. Press NEXT to go to Step 9CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

Step 9CS - Press the ▼ or ▲ buttons until END appears. Press NEXT to exit OEM Cycle Sequence. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

BSPT threads on inlet and outlet ports on the V3400BSPT-01 and V3401BSPT-01. NPT threads on drain and injector ports on V3400BSPT-01.

*V3174 WS1 Regenerant Piston not used for backwash only valves. V3010-15Z Injector Plug and V3195-01 WS1 Refill Port Plug ASY must be used for backwash only valves.

**Order number V3003-02 includes V3118-01 and V3105.

If using a meter on WS1.5” valves, select 1.5 if valve software records in gallons and 38 if valve software records in cubic meters.
