START UP PROCEDURE

PEERLESS CME WATER SOFTENER

1. Pipe ¾” or 1” inlet and outlet service piping, according to the print, and arrows on bypass.

2. Connect brine line (furnished in brine tank) from brine tank to valve. Line must be air tight.

3. Connect 5/8” OD poly tubing (not supplied) from valve to suitable drain. DO NOT use clear collapsible tubing.

4. With the bypass valve in the bypass position, open a cold water tap nearby and let it run a few minutes. Once free from

air, close tap. Partly open bypass to allow water to slowly fill tank. Once water stops running into the tank, rotate the

bypass valve into the full service position. Again, open a cold water tap nearby and let the water run until the water is

clear and free of air.

5. Plug the unit into an approved 120V AC outlet. Press the Set Clock button once and hour will flash. Use the up or

down triangle buttons until the correct hour is displayed. Press the Set Clock button again and the minutes will flash.

Use the up or down triangle buttons until the correct minutes are displayed. Press the Set Clock button to finish.

NOTE: Time of day must be set correctly to either AM or PM.

6A. Test the raw water, and set computed grains of hardness expressed as gpg (grains per gallon), and iron expressed as

ppm (parts per million) Do not forget to compensate for iron. The iron result in ppm should be rounded up to the nearest

whole number. Take that number and times it by four (4). Take that result and add it to the hardness value. This is the

number you will use to set up your control for your specific requirements.

NOTE: If your iron result is higher than 5 ppm, we recommend an iron filter be installed before the softener. If

an iron filter is installed, or you do not have any iron in your water, you do not have to compensate for iron when

setting up the control for your specific requirements.

B .To set the total hardness in the unit, press the Next and Up triangle buttons at the same time. The display will show

Hardness. Press the Up or Down triangle to enter your total hardness result from stop 6.A.

C. Press the Next button, and the display will show Regen Day. The factory default is set at 7. Please do not change

this value.

D. Press the Next button, and the display will show Time Regen. The factory default is set at 2:00 A.M. Press the Up

or Down triangle to change the hour. Press the Next button and the minutes will flash. To change press the Up or Down

triangle to change the minutes. Press the Next button to finish.

7. Manually add water to brine tank until water is ½” above the grid.

8A. Press and hold the Regen button for 5 seconds. Release when display shows backwash. Let the water run for 5

minutes.

B. Press the Regen button and release. The display will show Brine. Wait 1 minute.

C. Press the Regen button and release. The display will show Backwash. Wait 1 minute.

D. Press the Regen button and release. The display will show Rinse. Wait one 1 minute.

E. Press the Regen button and release. The display will show Fill. Push down on the float rod to purge air from the brine

line.

9. Fill brine tank with salt. Peerless recommends Hardi-Cube, Dura-Cube or Mini-Cube or salt substitutes, i.e. Potassium

Chloride, (trade names) K-Life or Soft Touch.

10. Open the cold water valves in house to relieve air. Let water run for 3 minutes and test cold water to make sure it is

soft.

11. Hot water from the water heater (unless drained and filled with soft water) will not become soft until the customer has

used approximately 3 times the holding capacity of the water heater.

12. Write the installation date (month/year) on the sticker found inside the front cover. Plug in 9V Alkaline Battery that

is supplied with your unit

CONTROL PROGRAMMING

INSTALLER (I) Displays/Settings

STEP 1I – Press NEXT and arrow up simultaneously for 3 seconds.

STEP 2I – Hardness: Set the amount of hardness as calcium carbonate per gallon using, arrow down or arrow

up buttons. The default is 20 with value ranges from 1 to 150 in 1 grain increments. Note the drains per gallon

can be increased if soluble iron needs to be reduced. Press NEXT to go to step 3I. Press REGEN to exit

Installer Displays/Settings.

STEP 3I - Day Override: When gallon capacity is set to off, sets the number of days between regenerations.

When gallon capacity is set to AUTO or to a number sets the maximum number of days between

regenerations. If value set to “off” regeneration initiation is based solely on gallons used. If value is set as a

number (allowable range from 1 to 28) a regeneration initiation will be called for on that day even if sufficient

number of gallons were not used to call for a regeneration. Set Day Override using arrow button to days

between regeneration (1 to 28); or OFF. Press NEXT to go to step 4I. Press REGEN to return to previous

step.

STEP 4I – Next Regeneration Time (hour): Set the hour of day for regeneration using down or up arrow

buttons. AM/PM toggles after 12. The default time is 2:00 AM. Press NEXT to go to step 5I. Press REGEN to

return to previous step.

STEP 5I - Next Regeneration Time (minutes): Set the minutes of day regeneration using the arrow buttons.

Press NEXT to exit Installer Displays/Settings. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the REGEN button for 3 seconds. The system

will beam to regenerate immediately. The control valve may be stepped through the various regeneration

cycles by pressing the “REGEN” button.

User (U) Displays/Settings

When the system is operating one of two displays will be shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate between the

displays. One of the displays is always the current time of day. The second display is one of the following: days

remaining or gallons remaining. Days remaining are the number of days left before the system goes through a

regeneration cycle. Capacity remaining is the number of gallons that will be treated before the system goes

through a regeneration cycle. The user can scroll between the displays as desired.

If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at the preset time of regeneration, the words REGEN

TODAY will appear on the display.

When water is being treated (i.e. water is flowing through the system) the word “Softening” flashes on the

display.

Note: If brine tank does not contain salt, fill with salt and wait at least two hours before regenerating.

REGENERATION MODE

Typically a system is set to regenerate at a time of low water usage. An example of a time with low water

usage is when a household is asleep. If there is a demand for water when the system is regenerating,

untreated water will be used.

When the system begins to regenerate, the display will change to include information about the step of the

regeneration process and the time remaining for that step to be completed. The system runs through the steps

automatically and will reset itself to provide treated water when the regeneration has been completed.

MANUAL REGENERATION

Sometimes there is a need to regenerate the system, sooner than when the system calls for it, usually referred

to as manual regeneration. There may be a period of heavy water usage because of guests or a heavy laundry

day. To initiate a manual regeneration at the preset delayed regeneration time, when the regeneration time

option is set to “NORMAL” or “NORMAL + on 0”, press and release “REGEN”. The words “REGEN TODAY”

will flash on the display to indicate that the system will regenerate at the preset delayed regeneration time. If

you pressed the “REGEN” button in error, pressing the button again will cancel the request. Note: If the

regeneration time option is set to “on 0” there is no set delayed regeneration time so “REGEN TODAY” will not

activate if “REGEN” button is pressed. To initiate a manual regeneration immediately, press and hold the

“REGEN” button for three seconds. The system will begin to regenerate immediately. The request cannot be

cancelled.

CONTROL PROGRAMMING CONTINUED

SET TIME OF DAY

The user can also set the time of day. Time of day should only need to be set after extended power outages or when

daylight savings time begins or ends. If an extended power outage occurs, the time of day will flash on and off which

indicates the time of day should be reset.

STEP 1U – Press SET CLOCK

STEP 2U – Current Time (hour): Set the hour of the day using the down or up arrow buttons. AM/PM toggles after

12. Press NEXT to go to step 3U.

STEP 3U – Current Time (minutes): Set the minutes of the day using down or up arrow buttons. Press NEXT to exit

Set Clock. Press REGEN to return to the previous step.

POWER LOSS: If the power goes out for less than two hours, the system will automatically reset itself. If an

extended power outage occurs, the time of day will flash on and off which indicates the time of day should be reset.

The system will remember the rest.

ERROR MESSAGE: If the word “ERROR” and a number are alternately flashing on the display, contact Peerless, Inc.

@ 269-344-6137 for help. This indicates that the valve was not able to function properly.

SANITIZING THE SYSTEM

1. At completion of softener installation, you should sanitize the system.

2. Take the lid off the brine (salt) tank and then take the cap off of the brine well. Pour about ½ cup of 5.25%

unscented household bleach into the brine well. Replace cap and lid. (This can be done with or without salt in tank.)

3. Press and hold regeneration button to start the regeneration process immediately.

Each water softener is handled in a manner to keep clean and sanitary. The materials used will not contaminate your

water supply or cause bacteria to grow. However, during shipping, storage, installation, and operation, bacteria

growth could develop. Some water supplies may need periodic disinfecting.

BYPASS VALVE

The bypass valve is typically used to isolate the control valve from the plumbing system’s water pressure in order to per-form

control valve repairs or maintenance. The W100SM bypass valve is particularly unique in the water treatment industry due to

its versatility and state of the art design features.

The 1” full flow bypass valve incorporates four positions including a diagnostic position that allows service personnel to work

on a pressurized system while still providing untreated bypass water to the facility or residence. It’s completely non-metallic,

all plastic design allows for easy access and serviceability without the need for tools. The bypass body and rotors are glass

filled Noryl and the nuts and caps are glass filled polypropylene. All seals are self-lubricating EPDM to help prevent valve

seizing after long periods of nonuse .Internal o-rings can easily be replaced If service is required. The bypass consists of two

interchangeable plug valves that are operated independently by red arrow shaped handles. The handles identify the flow

direction of the water. The plug valves enable the bypass valve to operate in four positions.

Normal Operation Position: The inlet and outlet handles point in the direction of flow indicated by the engraved arrows on

the control valve. Water flows through the control valve during normal operation and this position also allows the control

valve to isolate the media bed during the regeneration cycle. (See figure 17)

Bypass Position: The inlet and outlet handles point to the center of the bypass, the control valve is isolated from the water

pressure contained in the plumbing system. Untreated water is supplied to the plumbing system. (See figure 18)

Diagnostic Position: The inlet handle points in the direction of flow and the outlet handle points to the center of bypass

valve, system water pressure is allowed to the control valve and the plumbing system while not allowing water to exit from

the exiting current constant and moving a permanent magnet near the semiconductor produces a voltage output proportional

to the movement of the magnet. Hall-effect devices provide a high-speed response, excellent temperature stability and no

physical contact.** Has not been tested for compliance with California Proposition 65 so this control valve to the plumbing.

(See figure 19)

Shut-Off Position: The inlet handle points to the center off the bypass valve and the outlet handle points in the direction of

flow; the water is shut off to the plumbing systems. If water is available on the outlet side of the softener it is an indication of

water bypass around the system (i.e. a plumbing connection somewhere in the building bypasses the system). (See figure

20)

SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS

DRIVE ASSEMBLY

Remove the valve cover to access the drive assembly.

Disconnect the power source plug (black wire) from the PC board prior to disconnecting the motor or water

meter plugs from the PC board. The motor plug connects to the two-pin jack on the left-hand side of the PC

board. The power source plug connects to the four-pin jack. The four-pin jack is between the two-pin and three-

pin jacks. The water meter plug (gray wire) connects to the three.

The PC board can be removed separately from the drive bracket but it is not recommended. Do not attempt to

remove the display panel from the PC board. Handle the board by the edges. To remove the PC board from the

drive bracket, unplug the power, water meter and motor plugs from the PC board. Lift the middle latch along the

top of the drive bracket while pulling outward on the top of the PC board. The drive bracket has two plastic pins

that fit into the holes on the lower edge of the PC board. Once the PC board is tilted about 45˚ from the drive

bracket it can be lifted off of these pins. To reinstall the PC board, position the lower edge of the PC board so

that the holes in the PC board line up with the plastic pins. Push the top of the PC board towards the valve until

it snaps under the middle latch, weave the power and water meter wires into the holders and reconnect the

motor water meter and power plugs.

The drive bracket must be removed to access the drive cap assembly and pistons or the drive gear cover. It is

not necessary to remove the PC board from the drive bracket to remove the drive bracket. To remove the drive

bracket start by removing the plugs for the power source and the water meter. Unweave the wires from the side

holders. Two tabs on the top of the drive back plate hold the drive bracket in place. Simultaneously lift the two

tabs and gently ease the top of the drive bracket towards your body. The lower edge of the drive bracket has

two notches that rest on the drive back plate. Lift up and outward on the drive bracket to disengage the

notches. To reassemble seat the bottom of the drive bracket so the notches are engaged at the bottom of the

drive back plate. Push the top of the drive bracket towards the two latches. The drive bracket may have to be

lifted slightly to let the threaded piston rod pass through the hole in the drive bracket. Maintain a slight engaging

force on top of the drive bracket while deflecting the bracket slightly to the left by pressing on the side of the

upper right corner. This helps the drive gears mesh with the drive cap assembly. The drive bracket is properly

seated when it snaps under the latches on the drive back plate. If resistance is felt before latching, then

notches are not fully engaged, the piston rod is not in hole, the wires are jammed between the drive bracket

and drive back plate, or the gear is not engaging the drive cap assembly.

To inspect drive gears, the drive gear cover needs to be removed. The drive gear cover is held in place on the

drive bracket by three clips. The largest of the three clips is always orientated to the bottom of the drive

bracket. Before trying to remove the drive gear cover, the drive bracket must be removed from the drive back

plate. The drive gear cover can be removed from the drive bracket without removing the motor or the PC board.

Simultaneously, push in and down on the large clip at the bottom and the clip on the left-hand side of the drive

bracket behind the PC board. Keep your other fingers behind the drive gear cover so the drive gears do not

drop on the ground. Replace broken or damaged drive gears. Do not lubricate any of the gears. Avoid getting

any foreign matter on the reflective coating because dirt or oils may interfere with pulse counting.

The drive gear cover only fits on one way, with the large clip orientated towards the bottom. If all three clips are

outside of the gear shroud on the drive bracket the drive gear cover slips easily into place.

The drive bracket does not need to be removed from the drive plate if the motor needs to be removed. To

remove the motor, disconnect the power and motor plugs from the jacks on the PC board. Move the spring clip

loop to the right and hold. Rotate the motor at least a ½ turn in either direction before gently pulling on the wire

connections to remove the motor. Pulling directly on the wire without rotating the motor may break the wires off

the motor.

Replace the motor if necessary. Do not lubricate the motor or the gears. When reinstalling the motor gently

turn the motor wile inserting so that the gear on the motor meshes with the gears under the drive gear cover

and the small plastic bulge engages one of the slots on the motor housing. Reconnect the motor plug to the

two-pronged jack on the lower left-hand side of the PC board. If the motor will not easily engage with the drive

gear when reinstalling, lift and slightly rotate motor before reinserting.
