• Be sure all soldered pipes are fully cooled before

• If supplementary water treating equipment is required,

• Do not install any system with less than 10' (3 m) of
piping between the outlet of the conditioners and the
inlet of the water heater. Water heaters can transfer heat
down the cold water pipe into the control valve. Hot water
can severely damage the conditioners.
• A 10' (3 m) total pipe run (including bends, elbows, etc.)

A positive way to prevent hot water from flowing from a
heat source to the conditioners is to install an expandable

Outdoor Locations
When the water conditioning system is installed outdoors,
several items must be considered.
• Moisture — The valve and 700 controller are rated
for NEMA 3 locations. Falling water should not affect
performance. The system is not designed to withstand
extreme humidity or water spray from below. Examples Figure 1 Typical Plumbing for Twin Tank Systems
are: constant heavy mist, near corrosive environment,
upwards spray from sprinkler.
CAUTION This unit is for dry location use only unless used
with a Listed Class 2 power supply suitable for
outdoor use.
• Direct Sunlight — The materials used will fade or
discolor over time in direct sunlight. The integrity of the
materials will not degrade to cause system failures. If it
is necessary to locate the conditioner in direct sunlight, a
protective outdoor cover (P/N 1267811) over the valve and
controller is necessary.
• Temperature — Extreme hot or cold temperatures
may cause damage to the valve or controller. Freezing
temperatures will freeze the water in the valve. This
will cause physical damage to the internal parts as
well as the plumbing. High temperatures will affect
the controller. The display may become unreadable but
the controller should continue to function. When the
temperature drops down into normal operating limits
the display will return to normal. A protective cover,
P/N 1267811, should assist with high temperature
applications.

700 SERIES CONTROLLER FEATURES
Power Loss Memory Retention
The 700 series of controllers feature battery-free time of
day and day of week retention during loss of power. The
supplied super capacitor is designed to keep time for 8 to 24
hours, depending on the installation. If the super capacitor is
exhausted, the Logix control will display four dashes (--:--)
immediately upon power up. The time of day and day of week
must be reset.
The controller will not track water usage on volumetric
demand controls in the event of a power failure.
All programmed parameters are stored in the 700 Series static
memory and will not be lost in the event of a power failure.
These settings are maintained separately from the time and
day settings.
Motor
The 700 series controller uses a standard 12 volt AC motor
that works with either 50 Hz or 60 Hz. The same motor is
used worldwide and does not need to be changed for different
power conditions.
Power
700 Series controllers are available in two power
configurations:
1. The North American model requires 60 Hz input. The
controller will display USA units when power is first
applied.
2. The World model accepts either 60 or 50 Hz input and will
automatically adjust measurement units when power is
first applied.
Information entered or calculated by the controller is stored in
two different ways.
A static memory will store:
• Media volume
• Regenerant setting
• Time of regeneration
• Days between regeneration
• Filter mode
A dynamic memory with eight hour retention will store:
• Current day of week
• Running clock
NOTE: Water flow to the valve can be turned on or bypassed
when the controller is powered up for the first time.

SERVICE AND MAINTENANCE CONTINUED
Disinfection Of Water Conditioning Systems
The materials of construction in the modern water
conditioning system will not support bacterial growth, nor will
these materials contaminate a water supply. During normal
use, a conditioner may become fouled with organic matter, or
in some cases with bacteria from the water supply. This may
result in an off-taste or odor in the water.
Some conditioners may need to be disinfected after
installation and some conditioners will require periodic
disinfection during their normal life. Depending upon the
conditions of use, the style of conditioner, the type of ion
exchanger, and the disinfectant available, a choice can be
made among the following methods:
1. Dosage
• Polystyrene resin; 1.2 fluid ounce (35.5 mL) per cubic
foot.
• Non-resinous exchangers; 0.8 fluid ounce (23.7 mL) per
cubic foot.
Calcium Hypochlorite
Calcium hypochlorite, 70% available chlorine, is available in
several forms including tablets and granules. These solid
materials may be used directly without dissolving before use.
1. Dosage
A. Two grains (approximately 0.1 ounce (3 mL) per cubic
foot.

WIRING DIAGRAMS
Connecting the Logix 764 Twin Alternating or Parallel Controls
The twin sensor and extension cables are used for twin unit parallel and alternating applications. Four standard connections are
required for operation; the power transformer, the flow sensor, motor/optical sensor, and the connection between tank 1 and tank 2
controls. Figure 21 outlines these standard features.
