Step 4CS Selecting the use of an outside signal to initiate a regeneration: Selection only matters if a
connection is made to the two pin connector labeled DP SWITCH located on the printed circuit board.
Following is an explanation of the options:
oFF - feature not used
NOTE: in a twin alternating system each control must have a separate dP signal or dP switch. One dP signal
or one dP switch cannot be used for both controls.
onO Jf the dP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 minutes a regeneration will be signaled to the
unit. In a twin alternating system the MAV will transition iirst to switch units so that the signaled unit can
start regeneration. After the MAV has fully transitioned, the regeneration begins immediately. Note: For
WS1 - WS1 .5 control valves programmed for twin alternating: if the dP function onO is set, the Delayed
Rinse and Fill feature is not available.
dEL - If the dP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 m. mites a regeneration will occur at the
scheduled delayed regeneration time. In a tw i n alternating system once the dP switch is triggered the
PC Board will display REGEN TODAY and when the delayed regen time comes the control will
switch tanks and the triggered unit will then go into regeneration. Note: For WS1 WS1 .5 control valves
programmed for twin alternating: if the dP function dEL is set. the Delayed Rinse and Fill feature is not

available.
HoLd If the dP switch is closed a regeneration will be prevented from occurring while there is switch
closure. In a twin alternating system the regeneration of a unit can be prevented upon switch closure. If the
unit depletes the capacity down to zero, it will not be allowed to switch tanks to regenerate until tire switch
is open. Note: For WS 1 - WS1 .5 control valves programmed for twin alternating the Delayed Rinse and
Fill feature can be set.
