Control Operation During Programming
The control will only enter the Program Mode with the valve in Service. While in the Program Mode, the control will
continue to operate normally, monitoring water usage and keeping all displays up to date. Control programming is stored
in memory permanently, eliminating the need for battery back-up power.
Control Operation During a Power Failure
During a power failure, all control displays and programming will be stored for use upon power re-application. The
control will retain these values for years, if necessary, without loss. The control will be fully inoperative and any calls for
regeneration will be delayed. The control will, upon power re-application, resume normal operation from the point where
it was interrupted. An indication that a power outage has occurred will be an inaccurate Time of Day display.
Installation Instructions
All government codes and regulations governing the installation of these devices must be observed.
CAUTION: If the ground from the electrical panel or breaker box to the water meter or underground copper pipe is tied
to the copper water lines and these lines are cut during installation of the Noryl bypass valve and/or poly pipe, an
approved grounding strap must be used between the two lines that have been cut in order to maintain continuity. The
length of the grounding strap will depend upon the number of units being installed and/or the amount of copper pipe
being replaced with poly. See Figure 1.
In all cases where metal pipe was originally used and is later interrupted by poly pipe or the Noryl bypass valve as in
Figure 1 or by physical separation as in Figure 2, an approved ground clamp with no less than #6 copper conductor must
be used for continuity, to maintain proper metallic pipe bonding.
Check your local electrical code for the correct clamp and cable size.
