How To Use This Manual General Warnings and Safety Information This installation manual is designed to guide the installer through the process of installing and starting conditioners featuring the AvantaPure series controllers. Electrical This manual is a reference and will not include every system installation situation. The person installing this equipment should have: There are no user-serviceable parts in the AC adapter, motor, or controller. In the event of a failure, these should be replaced.
• Keep the media tank in the upright position. Do not turn upside down or drop. Turning the tank upside down will cause media to enter the valve. • Operating ambient temperature is between 35F (1C) and 120F (49C). • Operating water temperature is between 35F (1C) and 100F (38C). • Working water pressure range is 20 to 125 psi (1.38 to 8.6 bar). In Canada the acceptable working water pressure range is 20 to 100 psi (1.38 to 6.89 bar). • Use only regenerant salts designed for water softening.

Location Selection Outdoor Locations Location of a water conditioning system is important. The following conditions are required: The AvantaPure system is designed to be installed indoors. A protected environment is recommended. • Level platform or floor. • Room to access equipment for maintenance and adding regenerant (salt) to tank. When the water conditioning system is installed outdoors, several items must be considered. o • Moisture – The valve and control are rated for NEMA 3 locations.

Inspection To Assemble the Media Tank: 1. Stand the tank up and in position. The AvantaPure system is shipped with several parts unassembled. When parts are removed from the packing, they should be inspected for damage. If any parts are damaged or missing, contact your supplier. 2. If the floor under the media tank is uneven, level as needed. WARNING: The media tank contains loose particles that will shift. If the tank is turned upside down or laid back quickly, the particles may enter the valve.
Installation Instructions Note: Before turning on the water to the valve, rotate the two handles on the bypass valve 2-3 times. This will help seat the O-rings and prevent leaking. The 269 conditioner should be installed by someone familiar with plumbing practices. The conditioner is located after the pressure tank (or incoming water supply) and any filtration equipment. Water that leaves the conditioner will feed the hot water heater and the rest of the building.
Drain Line Connection Regenerant Line Connections The regenerant line from the tank connects to the valve. Make the connections and hand tighten. Be sure that the regenerant line is secure and free from air leaks. Even a small leak may cause the regenerant line to drain out, and the conditioner will not draw regenerant from the tank. This may also introduce air into the valve causing problems with valve operation. Note: Standard commercial practices are expressed here.
Electrical Connection Note: Once the tubing has been pushed into the nut it cannot be pulled out. The nut will need to be removed. See Figure 14 for correct assembly. 6. WARNING: This valve and control are for dry location use only, unless used with a Listed Class 2 Power Supply suitable for outdoor use. Hand tighten the nut until the connection is tight. Note: There are no user serviceable parts in the AC adaptor, motor or the control board.
Slow Rinse (Downflow) – Cycle C3a System Operation Water flow moves the regenerant through the resin at a specific rate and rinses to the drain. The resin is regenerated. Treated Water (Downflow) Untreated water is conditioned as it flows through the resin bed and up the riser. The 269 upflow conditioner is a system that will refill the salt tank at the start of a regeneration cycle.
Valve Camshaft Valve Operation The front end of the camshaft has an indicator cup. The cup has slots in the outer periphery and numbers on the inside face (Figure 17). 6 Rinse Drain 4 Outlet Valve 2 Bypass Valve The numbers can be seen with the cover off, from the front over the top of the controller. The number at the top indicates which regeneration cycle is currently in progress.
Sodium or Calcium Hypochlorite AvantaPure Controller These materials are satisfactory for use with polystyrene resins, synthetic gel zeolite, and bentonites. Power Loss Memory Retention The controllers feature battery-free time and date retention during the loss of power. This is designed to last a minimum of 8 hours depending on the installation. The controller will continue to keep time and day in dynamic memory while there is no AC power. 5.

Things You Might Need to Know • When the controller is first plugged in, it may display a flashing Err 3 and scrolling "Call Dealer for Service" message. This means that the controller is rotating to the home position. The Err 3 will clear when the control reaches the home position. • The preset default time of regeneration is 2:00 AM. If you want to change it, see the Level II Programming section. • The controller can be programmed to regenerate on specific days of the week.

Placing 269 Water Conditioning System Into Operation (Fill Brine Tank First) 5. Advance the control to the Backwash cycle (C1). See Cycle Sequence Table. Cycle Sequence Table Quick Cycling the Analyzer Control It is required that the control be quick cycled to specific regeneration cycles when placing the conditioner into operation. Please review the following instructions for quick cycling the control before proceeding to start-up. 1. 2.
8. Press and hold the SET and UP button for 5 seconds to cancel regeneration, and cycle the control back to the service position. 9. Start another regeneration. Advance the controller to the brine refill position (C8) to prime the line between the regenerant tank and the valve (conditioner only). A. Slowly open the main water supply valve again to the fully open position. Be sure not to open too rapidly, as that would push the media out of the media tank.
