Autotrol Logix Timer Programming Instructions

Best place to start is the un-programmed state:

Press and hold "set" ( square ) and "down" ( arrow ) buttons together for 5 seconds.

Then press and hold "set" ( square ) button for 5 seconds.

You will now see three flashing lines:

* First Step is Valve type, Your Logix Timer is installed on.

Use the arrows to choose ( select ) the letter "F" if used on Backwash Only Valve, otherwise ( if water softener ) you will be setting the Resin Capacity of your Water Softener.

Step Two: Resin capacity.

Capacities:

0.75 for 24K ( 3/4 cu.ft. )- most 8" diameter tanks

1.0 for 32K ( 1 cu.ft. ) - most 9" diameter tanks

1.25 for 40K ( 1.25 cu.ft.)

1.50 for 48K ( 1.50 cu.ft. ) - all 10" x 54" tanks

2.0 for 64K ( 2 cu.ft.) - most 12" diameter tanks

Press the set button to accept.

A. Time of day will be displayed.

1. Press the set button to make it flash.

2. Use arrows to set correct time ( note PM is indicated, and no indication is AM ).

3. Press the set button to accept.

B. Set day of week. Repeat steps 1,2, and 3 above.

C. Set time of regeneration ( typical 2:00 a.m. is used ). Repeat steps 1,2, and 3 above.

D. Set calendar override (for demand units) or days to regenerate (for timer units).

Repeat steps 1,2, and 3 above.

NOTE: On demand units will normally be set to “0”.

E. Set salt dosage. Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 above.

NOTE: You have “L” for low, “S” for standard, and “H” for high.

Standard is the most efficient. NOTE: Newer Logix 742, and 762 should be 9 lbs. per cu.ft. as standard. You won't see L,S, or H.

F. Set estimated capacity. * Do Not Set -

NOTE: Estimated capacity is calculated by the unit. You do not want to change this value.

G. Set hardness level of your water ( Number of GRAINS Hardness - Adding 3 for each 1 ppm of Iron in water ). Repeat steps 1, 2, and 3 above.

The unit will now display the time.

To put in Manual Regeneration

For preset time to regenerate: Press and release manual regeneration button.

For immediate regeneration: Press and hold manual regeneration button for 5 seconds.

The GE Osmonic Autotrol Valves 255 and 268 have been available with the Logix electronic controls for several years now ( 740 and 760, now 742 and 762 ). This 1 minute video shows how to start a manual regeneration for tonight or immediate start.

440iHV Timer Assembly WARRANTY Policy of Softenerparts.com

*** Full warranty policy for the 440iHV timer assemblies.

***********************************************

90 days free exchange warranty.
We ship you a replacement ( and pay postage to you )
Then you return the defective one in same box ( and you pay for return postage to us )

91 - 365 day exchange warranty with $ 6.00 S & H fee ( you place a new order, and then get credit for ITEM upon return ).

*** Remaining years 2 - 5 = parts warranty ( year 2 - 5, has 15% handling fee plus S & H fee ).

Also applies to timers purchased from some one besides us, but still under the 5 year date of manufacturer warranty ( date code is part of the SERIAL Number on the back of the Timer Assembly ).

Minimum Shipping and Handling for small items, explanation

* Our minimum $ 6.00 shipping and handling is to help cover the many costs of processing even the smallest order as items under $ 20.00 include very little "profit".
We have many expenses that add up.
This includes postage for "package" ( not envelope rate ) with delivery confirmation ( or UPS ground which is even more ), the bubbled envelope ( or box we use ), the thermal label, the payment processing fees ( Credit cards run about $ 1.00 minimum ) including shopping "cart" fees ( combined average 5% ), and last but not least is labor ( averaging $ 2.00 per order shipped ).
Even the smallest of items cost us at least $ 4.00 to process and ship.

Without the minimum, it would not be profitable to sell small parts or fill low cost single item orders.
We would need to have a minimum order size ( as most of our suppliers have ) such as $ 30, $ 50, or $ 100.
Or "inflate" the cost of smaller items ( as some of our competitors have done who offer "free shipping" - Note shipping is not really free for anyone ), which would not be fair to our customers who purchase larger quantities of these small items.

Odor - Sulfur (Hydrogen Sulfide) in your water

Hydrogen sulfide is a gas that causes an obnoxious rotten egg odor in your water. Hydrogen sulfide is caused by rotting and decaying organic matter in the underground aquifer. Hydrogen sulfide ( H2S ) will ruin your silverware, eat holes in copper used in many appliances, and generally stink up your whole house.
It is common in all parts of the world, and as a rule, the deeper the well, the more likely it will contain this gas.

Also, the level in the water will change during the coarse of the year ( the dry seasons tend to have higher levels as the water table drops ), and the more water pumped at one time ( things like lawn watering, or even back to back loads of laundry ) will cause the level of hydrogen sulfide to increase.

And the LEVEL ( measured in ppm ) is what determines the type and size of filtration required to remove the odor 100% ( as removing only 99% still results in a bad odor from the water ).

The two methods for removal are Oxidization ( aeration, chlorination, and various oxidizing Media in a tank ), and Absorption ( by activated carbon ), or a combination of the two.

The proper size equipment, levels of chemicals, and frequency of cleaning all depend on the amount of H2S in the water.
So, the first thing you need to do, before purchasing or adjusting equipment for removal is to get an accurate test of the level in the water.

This is best done onsite after running the source water for about 5 minutes. Professional water treatment dealers have the test kits to accurately measure the levels in your water source, and will often test for free ( of course they will want to sell you some equipment too ), or kits can be purchased online ( $ 50 - $ 100 is the common price range for a professional kit ).

Water Soft WSCB-32D is Autotrol 255 460i or Fleck 5600 SE

Just to confirm. Our softener is WaterSoft model WSCB-32D. I was told by CSI Control, who referred me to you, that the control valve is 255 460I.
* Yes, that is correct 90% of the time. The Valve most commonly used on the WaterSoft model WSCB-32D is simply the common Autotrol 255 series valve and the timer used is the electronic 460i metered demand regeneration control. So, you will find any and all parts for your softener on our website (www.softenerparts.com ).
Just look under Autotrol Repair Parts and sub-category of Autotrol 255 for diagrams and parts. Also, be sure to look at our Do It Yourself Repair pages for service and program information for the 255 valve and the 460i timer used on your Water Soft WS ( water soft ) CB ( cabinet ) 32 ( 32,000 grain = 1 cu.ft. ) D ( demand ) softener.
We keep all these parts in stock and will ship your online order within 24 hours. * NOTE: A few of the later models ( same Water Soft model number ) used the Fleck 5600 SE ( simple electronics ) control valve.
We have the parts for this version also.

* Neither the Autotrol 255/460i or Fleck 5600SE Valves have their names on them, so place compare to the photos of these valves to determine which "brand" you have.
