Motorized Drive Operation Piston Rod

Is Visible
Viewing the piston rod through the clear dome
is a visual indicator of the drive’s current
position. On the WS2 motorized bypass
drive, viewing the rod indicates that the unit
is in service. Viewing the rod as shown on
the MAV indicates that the common port is
currently connected to the “B” port. If the
rod is not visible the unit is offline in the case "A" Port
"Com" Port
of a bypass, or the common port is currently
connected to the “A” port of a MAV. In this
state the “B” port of a MAV is shut off. This
"B" Port
drive logic is reversible to meet specific Flow Path
plumbing applications by reversing the polarity Piston MAV Poppet MAV
of the drive motor wiring harness as shown
below.

Reversing Motorized Drive Direction

WS2 motorized bypass and MAV drives are factory wired
with the white wire on the right when viewing the wiring
Push in Locking Tab harness as shown, reversing the wires reverses the logic of
While Pulling On Wire the drive. The wires can be removed from the housing by
Factory Wired holding down the locking tab in the small window while
As White Wire applying light pressure to the wire, being careful not to
disengage the wire from its crimped on connector. The wires
can then be re-inserted, being sure the locking tab re-engages
in the window.

1. Unit Flow Rate Add Point
- 0: operates the system as a parallel flow system keeping all units online and
only allowing one unit to regen at a time. When one unit needs to regenerate it will flag all units to regenerate in series.
- Units in a parallel flow system will determine the need to regenerate based on:
- Any unit reaching 0 capacity;
- Delayed units will regenerate at the next available time slot
- Day over ride
- 1 day; all units will regen every day as long as it has been >12 hours since any other regenerations
- Day triggered regens will run in the sequence of times set in the delayed time screens.

2. - 1 – 499: the system acts as a stage by flow keeping one unit online at all times and adding units at this set point.
- Additional units will be brought online when the adder point is exceeded for >30 seconds or immediately if the flow
exceeds 120% of the adder point.
- Additional units will go offline when system flow reduces to 95% of adder point / unit for > 1 minute.
- Any unit in a demand recall system will determine the need to regenerate based on:
- Reaching 0 capacity
- Delayed units will regenerate at the next available time slot
- Day over ride
- 1 day; 1 unit will regen / day as long as it has been >12 hours since any other regenerations
- Day triggered regens will run at the time set in DEL-1
- Units can not regenerate if flow demands them to remain online
- On 0 units regen immediately after flow allows them offline
- Delayed units regen at the next available time slow
- Day units regen at the next time slot

3. - ALT: operates the system as an alternator, having one unit off line at all times either regenerating or fully
regenerated.
- A unit in an alternator system will determine the need to regenerate based on:
- The current “lead” unit reaching 0 capacity
Page 22 WS2H and WS3 Programming and Wiring Manual

- Delayed systems will immediately remove depleted units & regenerate at the next available time slot
- “Lead” unit regenerates based on “Lag” units
(i) The first “lag” unit depleting down to 15% less than its ratio of system capacity
1. 1/3 for a 4 unit; ½ for a 3 unit
(ii) The second “lag” unit depleting down to 15% less than its ratio of system capacity
1. 2/3 for a 4 unit
- Delayed systems will flag “lead” units based on “lag” capacity, but will not alternate with remaining capacity until the
next available delayed time.
- Day over ride
- 1 day; 1 unit will regen / day as long as it has been >12 hours since any other regenerations
- Day triggered regens will run at the time set in DEL-1

SYSTEM SETUP 4
SYSTEM SETUP 4
Hardwater Bypass
- Single units have a selection of Hbp, noHbP or Relay
- 2 unit alternators have a selection of noHbP, Relay or ALT-A
- All other systems have a choice of noHbP or Relay

1. If set to HbP: Units will have hard water bypass while in a regeneration

2. If set to noHbP: Single units or multiple tank systems require a motorized bypass valve or motorized alternating
valve to be connected to the bypass connector on the main valve PC board. This setting will force an initialization of
the motorized drive to determine its current position.

3. If set to Relay: Units will have other types of external valves controlling the water supply. If relay 1 & 2 are both
set to STbY, relay 1 will close to remove a unit from service & open to add a unit. Relay 2 will actuate 15 seconds
after relay 1 and will operate in the opposite sequence as relay 1. To come back online is the opposite; relay 2 actuates
1st & relay 1 actuates after 15 seconds relay 2.

4. If set to ALT-A: requires a Motorized Alternating Valve (MAV) to be connected to the two pin connection labeled
“BYPASS” on Unit 2’s PC Board. A communication cable is required to connect ALT-A and Unit 2 together.
- Any setting requiring a motorized bypass valve or motorized alternating valve will cause the drive to initialize to
determine its current position.
- Units going through a reset or initial startup, the bypass or motorized alternating valve may torque early which
would cause the unit to run the drive in the opposite direction, then re-home
- Pressing any button while in the Error / Hbp screen will kick the user into hbp setting screen and allow correction.
Upon exiting the unit will try to re-initialize the motorized drive.
