Operation
REGENERATION
There are several conditions that will cause the control to trip a regeneration. The “REG” enunciator will light when
the control has signaled for a regeneration. The “REG” enunciator will flash while the control is in regeneration. The
following are conditions that will call for regeneration:
1 When the Soft-Minder
®
meter has recorded the passage of a predetermined number of gallons.
2 When the time clock has counted past the set number of days.
3 At the preset time, when the number of days without a regeneration is equal to the Timeclock Backup setting.
4 At the preset time, when the “REGEN” button is depressed once. “REG” will light.
5 Immediately, when the “REGEN” button is depressed for three seconds. “REG” will light and blink.
6 Immediately, if power to the unit has been off for more than 3 hours and time of day has been restored.
If “dIP 2” is set to “Id”, the unit will begin a regeneration immediately for instances 1 and 2. With “dIP 2” set to “del”,
the regeneration will not begin until the preset regeneration time.
Note: If set to immediate mode as timeclock or timeclock backup, the unit will initiate regeneration at 12:00 AM.
In the delay mode, “REG” indicator will light at 12:00 AM and regeneration will occur at delayed time.
START-UP
NOTICE: A sanitizing agent is added to the softener at the factory. Flush the tank to drain with a minimum of 40
gallons of water, or initiate a full regeneration cycle, prior to putting the unit into service.
• Close the main water supply valve.
• Set the Cul-Flo-Valv
®
to the bypass position.
• Ensure that all faucets at the installation site are closed.
• Direct the drain line discharge into a bucket where flow can be observed.
• Plug the transformer into a 120 Volt, 60 Hz, single-phase receptacle.
• Wait for the control to energize the motor and home itself.
• Set the timer to the correct time of day.
• Open the main supply valve.
• Initiate an immediate regeneration to move the control into the backwash position.
• Refer to the section on manual cycling for information on cycling the control through its positions.
• When in the backwash position, slowly shift the bypass to the soft water position until water flows.
• Allow the tank to fill slowly until water flows from the drain line.
• When flow to drain is established, open the bypass fully. Watch the drain line discharge for signs of resin. If
signs of resin particles appear, reduce the flow. Increase the flow again when resin no longer appears in the
discharge.
• When the unit is filled with water, return the timer to the service position and proceed with setting the
microprocessor. Refer to the programming section.
Note: Unplugging the Culligan
®
Medallist Series water softener will not affect any of the control settings. Once
programmed in, the settings will be stored indefinitely. In the event of a power failure the time-of-day setting will
be stored for 1-2 days. If longer time storage is necessary, a battery backup is available. Refer to the Service
Manual for additional information.
