Tables 1 and 2 show examples when the valve is set up as a softener or fi lter.
DIR/Time Clock Options
The control valve with a water meter can be set for Demand Initiated Regeneration (DIR) only, Time Clock operation only or DIR
and Time Clock which ever comes fi rst, depending upon what settings are selected for Day Override (Days to REGEN) and Gallon
Capacity.1 See Table 3.
If a control valve does not contain a meter, the valve can only act as a time clock, and day override should be set to any number and
gallon capacity should be set to off.

For DIR Softeners, there are two options for setting the Gallons Capacity. The Gallons Capacity is automatically calculated if
set to AUTO. Reserve Capacity is automatically estimated based on water usage if AUTO is used. The other option is to set the
Gallons Capacity to a specifi c number. If a specifi c number is set, reserve capacity is zero, unless the value is manually set (i.e. the
manufacturer intentionally sets the gallon capacity number below the calculated capacity of the system).
A unique feature of this control valve is the ability to display actual water usage for the last 63 days. The values are initially stored as
“----”. This means the value is unknown. As days pass values are stored as “0” for no fl ow or the actual number of gallons. The counting
of the gallons starts at the regeneration time. If no regeneration time can be set (i.e. when the valve is set for immediate regeneration)
the counting of gallons starts at 12 a.m. Day 1 is yesterday, day 2 the day before yesterday, etc. As new values are added the oldest
history disappears.
Another unique feature is that the valve automatically calculates a reserve capacity when set up as a softener with “Gallons Capacity”
set to “AUTO” and the “Regeneration Time Option” set to “DELAY REGEN” or “DELAY + IMMEDIATE”. The actual reserve capacity is
compared to the gallons capacity remaining immediately prior to the preset regeneration time. A regeneration will occur if the actual
reserve capacity is less than the gallons capacity remaining. The actual reserve capacity is calculated by using the estimated reserve
capacity and adjusting it up or down for actual usage.
The estimated reserve capacity for a given day of the week is the maximum value stored for the last three non-trivial water usages (i.e.
more than 20 gallons/day) in seven day intervals.
1 See Installer Display Settings, Softener System Setup and Filter System Setup for explanations of Day Override and Gallon Capacity. 2 Days to REGEN and Gallon Capacity can not both be set to “OFF” at the same time.
GENERAL PROGRAMMING INSTRUCTIONSThe X FACTOR SERIES control valve offers multiple procedures that allow the valve to be modifi ed to suit the needs of the installation.
Refer to the Table of Contents which lists the many programming procedures and applications.
PAGE 4
Lock Out/ Unlock
To “lock out” access to diagnostic and valve history displays and modifi cations to settings except hardness, day override,
time of regeneration and time of day, press , NEXT , , and CLOCK in sequence after settings are made. To
“unlock”, so other displays can be viewed and changes can be made, press , NEXT , , and CLOCK in sequence.
Five Minute Time Out
When stepping through a procedure, if no buttons are pressed within fi ve minutes, the display returns to a normal user
display. Any changes made prior to the fi ve minute time out are incorporated.
Quick Exit
To quickly exit Cycle Sequence, Softener Setup, Filter Setup, Installer Display Settings, Diagnostics or Valve History press
CLOCK . Any changes made prior to the exit are incorporated.
Backlight Control
As an energy saving feature, the control will automatically turn off all SOLID BLUE or SOLID GREEN display illumination
and keypad illumination after about 5 minutes of the last keypad button push. Any further keypad touch will cause the re-
illumination of the display and keypad, and re-activate keypad control.
In addition, a master illumination control button is located on the lower right-hand portion of the control circuit board.
The purpose of this button is to turn on/off the keypad backlights directly, with a push, and restore them to normal
operation with another. The keypad backlight off command is automatically canceled after about 30 minutes. Another
available feature of this button is the ability of permanently illuminating both the display and keypad backlights when it is
pushed and held for 5 seconds during a normal keypad backlight turn on push. An additional push of this button would
cancel the ability of permanently illuminating both the display and keypad backlights.

STEP 1CS
Cycle Options
Cycle Sequence instructions allows the programmer to
set the order of the cycle. The Softener System Setup or
the Filter System Setup allow the programmer to set how
long cycles will last. The programmer may choose up to
9 cycles in any order. END must be used as the last
cycle option. The SOFTENING or FILTERING cycle
should only be used in regenerant prefi ll applications.
*Air Release is a specially named down-fl ow rinse with a short 1-90 second duration. This step can be useful for
applications such as softeners that do not have slotted upper tank distributors. The Air Release step would follow
Regenerant Draw Dn and precede second Backwash. In the case of a faulty brine tank air check, if the resin tank
becomes void of water and fi lled with air, the Air Release step will fi ll the bottom tank dome, submerging the bottom
distributor, preventing the resin from lifting upward during second Backwash.
**The regenerant draw upfl ow cycle may not be used on the 1.25”, 1.5”, 2” or 2”L control valves, because the V3407 and
V3725 pistons are designed for downfl ow use only. For 1” valves, select REGENERANT DRAW DN or no regenerant fl ow
cycle. Do not select REGENERANT DRAW UP because the 1” control valve construction is not compatible.
Step 1CS – Press NEXT and simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. Then press
NEXT and simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. If screen in Step 2CS does not appear
in 5 seconds the lock on the valve is activated. To unlock press , NEXT , , and CLOCK
in sequence, then press NEXT and simultaneously for 3 seconds and release. Then press
NEXT and simultaneously for 3 seconds and release.
Step 2CS – Valve type: Use the or to select 1.0 for 1” valve, 1.25
for 1.25” valve, 1.5 for 1.5” valve, 2.0L for 2L valve or 2.0 for 2” valve.
When 2.0L or 2.0 is selected, an additional screen will appear. It is used
to select which size fl ow meter is to be used with the 2” valve: 1.5, 2.0 or
VARIABLE METER. VARIABLE METER can be used to confi gure the
pulse per gallon from the standard input when using a non-standard
external meter not supplied by Lancaster Water Treatment. Press NEXT
to go to Step 3CS. Press REGEN to exit cycle sequence.

Note: When using the 2” valve, if “2.0L” is set instead of “2.0”, when the valve is in regeneration and the piston drives to
the “DRAW” cycle the piston will stall and generate a 1002 error code. Clear the error code by pressing NEXT and REGEN
buttons simultaneously until the valve resets, then re-program valve to proper valve type setting.

Step 3CS - Alternator MAV Operation Options: Allows selection of one of the following using the or
buttons:
• the Control Valve to have no hard water bypass;
• the Control Valve to act as an alternator; or
• the Control Valve to have a separate source during the regeneration cycle.
Select OFF when neither of these features are used.
Only use Lancaster Water Treatment supplied No Hard Water Bypass Valves or Motorized Alternating Valves (MAV) with
these selections. No Hard Water Bypass Valves (1” or 1.25” V3070FF or V3070FM) are not designed to be used with the alternator
or separate source functions. Motorized Alternating Valves (1” or 1.25” V3069FF or V3069MM) are not designed to be used with the
no hard water bypass function.
• Confi guring the Control Valve for No Hard Water Bypass Operation:
Prior to selection it is required that a connection to MAV or a No Hard Water Bypass Valve is made to the
two pin connector labeled MAV MTR located on the printed circuit board.
Using the or buttons, select NO HARD BYPASS for control operation. For no hard water bypass operation the three wire
connector is not used.
If using a 1.5” or 2” MAV, the A port of the MAV must be plugged and the valve outlet connected to the C port. When set to NO HARD
BYPASS the MAV will be driven closed before the fi rst regeneration cycle that is not FILL or SOFTENING or FILTERING, and be
driven open after the last regeneration cycle that is not FILL.
NOTE: If the control valve enters into an error state during regeneration mode, the no hard water bypass valve will remain in its
current state until the error is corrected and reset.
• Selecting the Control Valve to act as an Alternator:
Prior to starting the programming steps, connect the 3-pin/3-wire interconnect cable to each control valve
board’s 3-pin connector labeled “INTERCONNECT”. Also, for 1.5” or 2” control valves, connect the external
meter’s cord to either control valve board’s 3-pin connector labeled “METER”. 1” control valve internal meters
are factory connected. Refer to MAV installation guide.
Programming Steps Softener Valve ALT A Softener Valve ALT B

Connect ALT A valve outlet to the MAV’s A port
and connect the MAV’s two pin wire connector to
the two pin connector labeled “MAV MTR” on the
ALT A valve board.
Set to ALT A using or .
Connect ALT B valve outlet to the MAV’s B port.
No wire connections between the ALT B valve
and the MAV are made.
Set to ALT B using or .
Softener System Setup Step 8S Set to “AUTO” Set to “AUTO”
Softener System Setup Step 9S Set regeneration time option to “Immediate”. Set regeneration time option to “Immediate”.
Installer Display Setting Step 3I Set Days Between Regen to “OFF” Set Days Between Regen to “OFF”
If set up for a fi lter, in Step 5F set Volume Capacity; in Step 9S select Regeneration Time Option “Immediate”; and in Step 3I select
Days Between Regen “OFF”.
NOTE: If the control valve is in an error state during regeneration mode, the MAV will close the B port and keep open the A port until
the error is corrected and reset.
For alternating systems using 1.0”, 1.25”, 1.5” or 2”L valves, when NEXT is pressed after selecting ALT
A or ALT B, choose DELAYED RINSE + FILL ON or DELAYED RINSE + FILL OFF using the or
buttons. Delayed Rinse and Fill logic is that when the standby tank is brought on line and the regenerating
tank has completed all regeneration cycle steps except the last two (Rinse and Fill), the regenerating tank
will return to the service position and be placed on standby, displaying DELAYED RINSE + FILL PENDING
on the screen. When the online tank reaches the point where only 10% of its service capacity remains, the
standby tank will advance from the service position to Rinse, then Fill, completing the fi nal two regeneration
steps before returning to the service position and placed on standby again until the online tank is fully
depleted and requesting regeneration.
NOTE: because Rinse and Fill are the fi nal two regeneration steps, pre-fi ll regenerant programming
cannot be used.
For alternating systems using the 2” valve, when NEXT is pressed after selecting ALT A or ALT B, a
display will allow the programmer to set an amount of pre-service rinse time for the standby tank
just prior to returning to service. Selectable from 1 to 20 minutes in 1 minute increments, or OFF.

Step 4CS – Auxiliary MAV Operation Options: Allows selection of one of the following using the
or buttons:
OFF – Deactivates this output.
STEP 4CS
• Confi guring the Control Valve for Separate Source Operation:
Prior to selection, it is required that a connection to a Motorized Alternator Valve (MAV) is made to the two pin connector labeled MAV MTR located on the printed circuit board.
Using the or buttons, select SEPARATE SOURCE ENABLED for control operation. For separate source operation the three wire connector is not used.
The C port of the MAV must be connected to the valve inlet and the A port connected to the separate source used during regeneration. The B port must be connected to the feed water supply.
When set to Separate Source Enabled the MAV will be driven closed before the fi rst regeneration cycle, and be driven open after the last regeneration cycle. Pre-fi ll regenerant programming should not be used if separate source water to service during regeneration is not desired.
NOTE: If the control valve enters into an error state during regeneration mode, the MAV will remain in its current state until the error is
corrected and reset.
Press NEXT to go to Step 4CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.
Prior to the next selections, it is required that a connection to a MAV is made to the two pin connector labeled AUX MTR
located on the printed circuit board.
SEP SOURCE - Allows Auxiliary MAV to switch positions before the start of regeneration (AFTER
Alternator MAV motor transition, if scheduled). Auxiliary MAV will switch back at the end of
regeneration, after the control valve motor deactivates (and BEFORE Alternator MAV transition, if
scheduled). Pre-fi ll regenerant programming should not be used if separate source water to
service during regeneration is not desired.
TIME - Allows Auxiliary MAV to switch positions at a set time referenced to the start of
regeneration, AFTER control valve motor deactivates. Auxiliary MAV will switch back at the
completion of the set duration time. The start of regeneration is defi ned as the fi rst regeneration
cycle that is NOT FILL, SOFTENING or FILTERING.
TIME mode can be used for various applications such as:
Brine Reclaim - set the start time for AUX MAV to divert brine discharge from the drain line to the
brine tank during Regenerant Draw DN, as well as the duration of time before AUX MAV switches
back.
No Hard Water Bypass - program a NHWB valve to close at the start of the regeneration, and
open before OR AFTER the last regeneration cycle FILL. This example is useful if it is not desired
to allow treated water to service while treated water fi lls regenerant tank.
Pre-fi ll regenerant programming should not be used for the above application examples.
Using the or buttons, set the duration of the time for Aux MAV to be in the Bypass position.
Press NEXT to go to Step 5CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.
Using the or buttons, set the start time for the Aux MAV transition to Bypass. Setpoint is
referenced to the start of the fi rst backwash or downfl ow regenerant cycle, whichever comes fi rst.

Step 5CS – Auxiliary Input DP Switch Regeneration Control: Allows selection of an
outside signal (from a Differential Pressure Switch as an example) to control the initiation of a
regeneration. Selection only matters if a connection is made to the two pin connector labeled DP
SWITCH located on the printed circuit board.
OFF – Feature not used
Note - the remaining selections that use this feature will delete the DELAYED RINSE + FILL
feature on MAV alternator systems.
ON 0 REG – If the DP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 minutes, a regeneration will
occur immediately.
DELAY REG – If the DP switch is closed for an accumulative time of 2 minutes, a regeneration will
occur at the scheduled regeneration time.
HOLD – If the DP switch is closed, a regeneration will be prevented from occurring.
Press NEXT to go to Step 6CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.
STEP 5CS
Step 6CS – Multiple Regenerations: This is a non-demand initiated “Time Clock Only” Delayed
Regen feature for very challenging fi lter or IronSoft applications.
Selecting Multi Regen Times of two, three or four regens per regen day is possible.
Multi Regen Times per regen day will be limited to one regeneration cycle sequence.
Selecting Multi Regen Times OFF will cancel this feature and limit the amount of Regen Times to
one.
For softeners, this feature will only display when Step 8S Volume Capacity is set to OFF and step
9S Regeneration Time Option is not set to Immediate or Delay + Immediate.
For fi lters, this feature will only display when Step 5F Volume Capacity is set to OFF.
Note - When Volume Capacity is set to OFF, the Regeneration Time Option step may skip (not
display) when pressing NEXT because the microprocessor internally enters DELAYED REGEN.
If not skipped, set for DELAYED REGEN.
Use Step 3I Day Override to establish the regen day (1-28 days between regen day) and Steps 4I
and 5I to set the regen times for the regen day.
To further clarify how the Multi (2 to 4) Regen Times per regen day feature works... if the user
manually requests regen:
• If, on a day that is not scheduled for multi regens, an immediate manual regen is forced
to occur by the user, only one regen for that day will occur, immediately in this case, regardless of
Time of Day.
• If, on a day that is scheduled for multi regens, an immediate manual regen is forced to
occur by the user, any regeneration start times scheduled for that day after this forced one occurs
will not be skipped.
• If, on a day that is not scheduled for multi regens, a delayed manual regen is initiated
by the user, the “REGEN TODAY” display indication will appear immediately, and only one
regeneration for that day will occur at the next programmed regen time that is passed.
• If, on a day that is scheduled for multi regens, a delayed manual regen is initiated by the
user, the “REGEN TODAY” display indication will appear immediately, regeneration will occur at
the next programmed regen time that is passed, and any regeneration start times scheduled for
that day after this forced one will not be skipped.
Press NEXT to go to Step 7CS. Press REGEN to return to previous step.

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 SOLID GREEN when
illuminated, and include information about the step of the regeneration process and the time
remaining for that step to be completed. The current cycle display will alternate with the regen time
remaining screen. 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
“DELAYED REGEN” or “DELAY + IMMEDIATE”, press and release REGEN . The words “REGEN TODAY” will periodically be
shown 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
“IMMEDIATE” 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.
Sometimes it is desirable to have the valve initiate and complete two regenerations within 24 hours and then return to
the preset regeneration procedure. It is possible to do a double regeneration if the control valve is set to “DELAYED
REGEN” or “DELAY + IMMEDIATE” in Softener System Setup or Filter System Setup. To do a double regeneration:
1. Press the REGEN button once. REGEN TODAY will fl ash on the display.
2. Press and hold the REGEN button for three seconds until the valve regeneration initiates.
Once the valve has completed the immediate regeneration, the valve will regenerate one more time at the preset regen-
eration time.
General Operation
When the system is in normal service mode (SOLID BLUE
display when illuminated), one of up to fi ve available User
Displays will be shown. Pressing NEXT will alternate between
the following displays:
• Current time of day
• Treated water fl ow rate
• Service contact name and phone number (if entered)
• Remaining Capacity of treated water available
• Remaining days to regeneration (if Day Override is
programmed)
Pressing the button while in the Capacity Remaining or
Days Remaining displays will decrease the capacity remaining
in ten gallon increments or the days remaining in one day
increments, and will also increase the volume used impacting
the recorded values in Diagnostics Steps 3D, 4D and 5D and
Valve History, Step 4VH.
If the system has called for a regeneration that will occur at
the preset time of regeneration, the words REGEN TODAY will
alternate with the header on the display.
If a water meter is installed, the water drop fl ashes on the
display when water is being treated (i.e. water is fl owing through
the system).
To clear the Service Call reminder (FLASHING YELLOW
display), press the and buttons simultaneously while
the number and banner text screen is displayed.

Power Loss
If the power goes out the system will keep time until the non-rechargeable coin cell battery is depleted. If an extended
power outage occurs, when power resumes the time of day will fl ash on and off which indicates the time of day should be
reset and the non-rechargeable battery replaced. The system will remember the rest.
Low Battery
A non-rechargeable coin cell battery is located on the circuit board, used only to maintain the time of day during power
outages (all other information will be stored in memory no matter how long the power outage). The screen displays LOW
BATTERY when the battery needs to be replaced. The screen will remain illuminated solid blue when LOW BATTERY is
displayed. Initially LOW BATTERY display will alternate with the User display, fi nally displaying only LOW BATTERY. User
displays are still accessible by pressing NEXT .
Note - In order to preserve coin cell battery life in new systems not in service yet, the circuit board will not activate the
battery backup circuitry until the unit is in service and the clock has reached 2:00 AM.
Error Message
If the word “ERROR” and a number are displayed on a FLASHING RED screen, call the contact name on the display,
the professional contractor or Lancaster Water Treatment for help. This indicates that the valve was not able to function
properly. If the phone number and banner text were entered into the programming (see Installer Display Settings, Contact
Screens), the two displays will alternate.

SERVICE TECHNICIAN “STEP-THROUGH” REGENERATIONThe following procedure allows a service technician to step through a regeneration cycle and verify proper valve operation
without the microprocessor resetting the “remaining capacity gallons” countdown and the optionally input “# of days to
regen” override.
After manually initiating an immediate regeneration by pressing and holding REGEN for 3 to 5 seconds (this request cannot
be cancelled), as long as the service technician shortens one or more of the cycle times by pressing REGEN after the piston
changes position and the motor stops running, the volumetric capacity and days override user displays will not be reset.
To further explain, since the microprocessor will not recognize a “step-through” regen, the diagnostic displays “days since
last regen” and “ volume (gal.) since last regen” and the valve history display “total regens since start-up” will not change.
EXTERNAL RELAY APPLICATION
A relay is an electrically operated switch that uses a low voltage signal to control a high voltage circuit.
A terminal block located on the printed circuit board can be used to connect up to two external relays.
PC Board Relay Terminal Block
Each relay driver output can be programmed to activate a relay by one of four modes. See Softener System Setup,
Page 12, Step 10S and 11S for programming instruction. Applications include control of a small chemical feed pump or
air compressor.
Relay Specifi cations
The PC board relay terminal block is a 12V DC output.
Use a relay with a 12V DC coil voltage and a coil resistance not less than 80 ohms.
Relay Mounting
If mounting one or two relays under the cover, check for mounting locations and dimensions on the backplate.
Mounting Location
for a SPDT or
DPDT relay
(see page 22)
Mounting Location

(see page 22)
A knockout is located on the lower
right inside corner of the backplate to
accommodate a 1/2” conduit fi tting. Use a
punch or a Phillips screw driver and place it
in the center of the knockout circle and tap
it with mild to medium force with a hammer
to punch out the circle knockout piece.

12V DC OPERATION
The X FACTOR SERIES control valve can be used in locations where electricity is not available.
DO NOT USE a power inverter (DC-to-AC) between a battery and the control valve. Inverters can vary in frequency and
prevent the control valve from monitoring the battery condition. The control valve has been designed so that it can operate
directly with a DC input. There is a small jumper(JM4) next to the transformer power terminal on the circuit board that can
be cut for direct 12V DC battery operation.
JM4 Jumper located between power and meter terminals
When this jumper is cut, the circuit board no longer uses the AC frequency for time keeping reference and looks at
“voltage in” to determine the loss of power (battery condition). With the circuit board in DC operation, the control valve
will load test the battery before each regeneration using a stalled motor condition requiring high amp draw. A LOW DC
VOLTAGE warning will display and regeneration will not be started if the measured charge is 12.2V to 12.05V during
the load test condition. Note - A 12V battery with no load connected is at about 50% capacity when it reaches a terminal
voltage of 12.24V, and approximately 25% remaining capacity when it reaches a terminal voltage of 12.06V.
Connecting the 12V DC battery to the control valve can be accomplished by cutting off the V3186 AC adaptor transformer
plug from its cable, exposing the black and white #22 AWG wires. These wires can be connected to the battery posts
using, for example, wing nut battery terminals with direct quick connect terminals for electronics attached to the wing nut
studs.
The type of 12V DC battery used is important. There are three types of lead/acid batteries: Starting (automobile) batteries,
Marine batteries and Deep Cycle batteries.
Starting batteries, commonly know because they start our cars, are designed to deliver large bursts of energy for a
very short time. Marine batteries are usually a “hybrid”design falling between starting and deep-cycle batteries. Marine
batteries have similar construction to starting batteries except their plates may be heavier to prevent breakage when the
boat is knocked by waves or with vibration. Starting batteries are usually rated at “CCA”, or cold cranking amps, or “MCA”,
marine cranking amps - the same as “CA”. These batteries, shown in CCA or MCA are not recommended to operate the
control valve because they are not suitable for long time use of a slow discharge rate.
Deep Cycle or RV batteries are rated in Amp-Hours and are designed to continuously provide power for long periods
of time. Deep Cycle batteries have much thicker and generally longer solid plates in order to have a greater capacity
versus “instant” power like starting batteries need. The Deep Cycle type battery is recommended to operate the control
valve. The Deep Cycle battery can be recharged using an AC dual-purpose 12 to 15.5 volt battery charger plugged into a
gasoline generator’s AC outlet. Consult the charger and generator manufacturers specifi c instructions.

CUSTOM PROGRAMMING AND APPLICATION TROUBLE SHOOTING
Refer to the Installation, Operating and Service Manual for the particular X-Factor Series model part diagrams, service
and troubleshooting instructions. The following is additional information for systems utilizing relays and/or MAVs:
Relay and MAV Operation While in Error Modes
1. Relays should turn off immediately whenever a Valve Error occurs.
2. Relays should remain on and continue to operate as programmed if a Alt MAV Error (106/107) or Aux MAV Error
(116/117) occurs and the valve has already entered regen.
3. Relays should remain off, and not operate as programmed, if a Alt MAV Error (106/107) or Aux MAV Error (116/117)
occurs and the valve has not entered regen.
4. If a Valve Error occurs (101, 102, 103, 104, 402, 403, 404, 410) and the Alt MAV/NHBP or Aux MAV/NHBP has
already transitioned, the Alt MAV/NHBP or Aux MAV/NHBP is kept in this transitioned state until valve is reset.
5. If a Valve Error occurs (101, 102, 103, 104, 402, 403, 404, 410) and the Alt MAV/NHBP or Aux MAV/NHBP has not
transitioned, the Alt MAV/NHBP or Aux MAV/NHBP is kept in the current un-transitioned state until valve is reset.
6. If a Alt MAV/NHBP or Aux MAV/NHBP enters a Alt MAV/NHBP or Aux MAV/NHBP Error Mode (106, 107/116, 117) and
the valve has already entered regen, the valve should continue to operate as programmed (permit valve to fi nish up
current regen but prevent any future regen requests until valve is reset).
7. If a Alt MAV/NHBP or Aux MAV/NHBP enters a Alt MAV/NHBP or Aux MAV/NHBP Error Mode (106, 107/116, 117) and
the valve has not entered regen, the valve should not continue to operate as programmed (prevent a pending regen
until valve is reset).
