NOTES:
Some items may not be shown depending on timer configuration.
The timer will discard any changes and exit User Mode if any button is not pressed for sixty seconds.
User Programming Mode Steps
1. Press the Up and Down buttons for five seconds while in service,
and the time of day is NOT set to 12:01 PM.
2. Use this display to adjust the Day Override. This option setting is
identified by “DO” in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
THIS IS AN OPTION ONLY. PLEASE DO NOT ADjUST
BEFORE CONSULTING AN AUTHORIzED DEALER.
3. Press the Extra Cycle button. Use this display to adjust the
Regeneration Time. This option setting is identified by “RT” in the
upper left hand corner of the screen.
4. Press the Extra Cycle button. Use this display to adjust the Feed Water Hardness. This option setting is identified by
“FH” in the upper left hand corner of the screen.
FOR MINI-22 Softeners units only
In order to calculate the Total Water Hardness, assume that the water softener (MINI-22) is being applied to a
water supply that not only requires the removal of hardness, but also of some iron as well. Before the regeneration
frequency can be set, the compensated total hardness must be calculated to factor in the iron that will be removed
as well. To do this, you must have the results of water analysis that provides the Total Hardness in GPG (grains/
USGallon) and Iron which is usually recorded as ppm (parts per million) or mg/L (milligrams per litre).
Compensated Hardness = Total Hardness (GPG) + 4 x Iron (ppm or mg/L)
eg. Total Hardness = 25 GPG & Iron = 2 mg/L
therefore;
Compensated Hardness = 25 GPG + 4 x 2 mg/L = 33 GPG
Note: If Total Hardness has been recorded as ppm (or mg/L) in testing, divide the number by 17.1 to obtain the
Total Hardness expressed in GPG.
