General Warnings And Safety Information Electrical There are no user-serviceable parts in the AC adapter, motor, or controller. In the event of a failure, these should be replaced. • All electrical connections must be completed according to local codes. • Use only the power AC adapter that is supplied. • The power outlet must be grounded. • To disconnect power, unplug the AC adapter from its power source. Mechanical • Do not use petroleum based lubricants such as vaseline, oils, or hydrocarbon

General • Observe all warnings that appear in this manual. • 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 34 °F (1 °C) and 120 °F (49 °C). • Operating water temperature is between 34 °F (1 °F) and 100 °F (38 °C). • Working water pressure range is 20 to 120 psi (1.38 to 8.27 bar). In Canada the acceptable working water pressure range is 20 to 100 psi (

System Operation Cycle Functions 1. Service (Downflow) Untreated water is directed down through the resin bed and up through the riser tube. The hardness ions attach themselves to the resin and are removed from the water. The water is conditioned as it passes through the resin bed. 2. Backwash (Upflow) The flow of water is reversed by the control valve and directed down the riser tube and up through the resin bed. During the backwash cycle, the bed is expanded and debris is flushed to the d

Location Selection Location of a water treatment system is important. The following conditions are required: • Level platform or floor • Room to access equipment for maintenance and adding regenerant (salt) to tank. • Ambient temperatures over 34 °F (1 °C) and below 120 °F (49 °C). • Water pressure below 120 psi (8.27 bar) and above 20 psi (1.4 bar). • In Canada the water pressure must be below 100 psi (6.89 bar). • Constant electrical supply to operate the controller. • Total minimum pipe ru

return to normal. A protective cover should assist with high temperature applications. • Insects — The controller and valve have been designed to keep all but the smallest insects out of the critical areas. Any holes in the top plate can be covered with a metal foil ductwork tape. The top cover should be installed securely in place. • Wind — The Ultramax cover is designed to withstand a 30 mph (48 Kph) wind when properly installed on the valve. Location Selection 11 Rev A

Bypass valves isolate the conditioner from the water system and allow unconditioned water to be used. Service or routine maintenance procedures may also require that the system is bypassed. The illustrations below show the two common bypass methods. Figure 1 Autotrol Series 1265 bypass for use with Performa Normal Operation In Bypass Out In Out In Water W

WARNING: Do not use tools to tighten plastic fittings. Over time, stress may break the connections. When the 1265 bypass valve is used, only hand tighten the nuts. WARNING: Do not use petroleum grease on gaskets when connecting bypass plumbing. Use only 100% silicone grease products when installing any Autotrol brand valve. Non-silicone grease may cause plastic components to fail over time. WARNING: Several tube adapters are available to connect the valve to the water plumbing. See Part

Drain Line Drain Line Connection NOTE: Standard commercial practices are expressed here. Local codes may require changes to the following suggestions. Check with local authorities before installing a system. 1. The unit should be above and not more than 20 feet (6.1 m) from the drain. Use an appropriate adapter fitting to connect 1/2-inch (1.3 cm) plastic tubing to the drain line connection of the control valve. 2. If the backwash flow rate exceeds 5 gpm (22.7 Lpm) or if the unit is locate

Regenerant Line Connection (not used with 3-cycle filter system) 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. Ensure that pipe sealant (Teflon* tape) is applied to the 3/8

Overflow Line Connection (not used with 3-cycle filter system) In the event of a malfunction, the regenerant TANK OVERFLOW will direct “overflow” to the drain instead of spilling on the floor. This fitting should be on the side of the cabinet or regenerant tank. Most tank manufacturers include a post for the tank overflow connector. To connect the overflow line, locate hole on side of tank. Insert overflow fitting into tank and tighten with plastic thumb nut and gasket as shown (Figure 5).
