Start-Up Instructions The water softener should be installed with the inlet, outlet, and drain connections made in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations, and to meet applicable plumbing codes. Turn the manual regeneraton knob slowly in a clockwise direction until the program micro switch lifts on top of the first set of pins.
Timer Features Setting the Time of Day Press and hold either the Up or Down buttons until the programming icon replaces the service icon and the parameter display reads TD. Adjust the displayed time with the Up and Down buttons. When the desired time is set, press the Extra Cycle button to resume normal operation.
Timer Operation Meter Immediate Control A meter immediate control measures water usage and regenerates the system as soon as the calculated system capacity is depleted. The control calculates the system capacity by dividing the unit capacity (typically expressed in grains/unit volume) by the feedwater hardness and subtracting the reserve. Meter Immediate systems generally do not use a reserve volume.

Timer Operation Control Operation During A Power Failure The SXT includes integral power backup. In the event of power failure, the control shifts into a power-saving mode. The control stops monitoring water usage, and the display and motor shut down, but it continues to keep track of the time and day for a minimum of 48 hours.
