1. General Introduction
1.1 JKA stager controller is the product developed on the basis of advanced technology.
It is widely being applied in various water treatment fields as Filtration System, Water
Conditioning, Softening System and Desalination Systems, etc. The main distinguished
features of JKA Controller are:
Power: 150~250V/AC, 50/60Hz, 4W;
Chinese or English version alternatively selected, setting simplicity, No complicated
programming languages ability needed to operator;
Password Protection design prevents parameter setting from arbitrary and unexpected
alteration;
Flexible regeneration initiation modes ( Volume, Remote, Interval, Week
timing ).The selection of regeneration modes depends on specific technical and
systemic conditions.
LCD display with backlight for over ten years use and state display function on
panel;
Regeneration and relevant outputs signals are all Relay Dry Contractor; AC 220/5A;
Remote control signal is dry contact. Signal can be reserved at least 2 seconds;
JKA Stager Controller contains four specified parameters:
a) Plan b) M program c) S program d) Commerce
Peripheral logic interlock function can be implemented among multiple JKA Stager
Controllers through using S1 or S3 program of one JKA Stager Controller as state
feedback to adjacent one. Hereby, Regeneration initiation on two JKA Stager
Controllers is thus avoided.
JKA Stager Controller equips two logic level control units with Relay Dry
Contractor output;
Commercial lock. Please contact our technical pers onnel for detailed usage.
1.2 Key and Display
1.2.1 Keys
The Six function keys, located directly beneath the display, control the majority of JKA

2/11
stager operation:
ESC : functional exit;

: select /modify parameter;

: move cursor;

ENTER: confirmation/input.
Note: keeping any key 5 seconds can get into setting state on main display.

The setting point is up by 1 when the upward key is pressed each time, and will be down
by 1 when the downward key is pressed each time. The cursor on the screen will move
right when the rightward arrowhead is pressed, and will move left when the leftward
arrowhead is press.
1.2.2 Panel Display
Three light-groups locate on the right of panel.
Group one
Light A1 indicates high hydraulic level state of group one. Namely, lighting denotes
“cut off” of high level contact point, and extinguishing denotes “connection” of high
level contact point.
Light B1 indicates low hydraulic level state of group one . Namely, lighting denotes
“cut off” of low level contact point, and extinguishing denotes “connection” of low level
contact point.
Light C1 shows logic state output of hydraulic level of Group one . (Low level, C1 is
connected, adversely high level, C1 is cut off)
Group two
Function and state of Group 2 is the same as that of Group 1.
Group three
Working light and Regeneration light separately indicates operational status. Frequent
flashing denotes rotational frequency of flow sensor if flow sensor is implemented in
system.

2. Parameters Setting
Parameter setting includes the following four steps: power supply connection; parameter

Mode setting: move the cursor to Mode and press ENTER to access to Modes
choice, display as below

Mode: Volume
Remote
Interval
Week Timing

Note: Which regeneration mode is identified in the light of actual technique. Volume mode selection
requires flow sensor matched that can generates rectangular pulse. (We recommend JM-TT flow
sensor to match JMA Stager Controller usage)
If Volume mode is selected as regeneration initiation mode, then move cursor to Volume
and press ENTER to get into Volume mode setting, display as below

K: 000.000 ∑

P: 00000.0 t

Note: K value is pipe coefficient. P is Total volume.

Press and keys to input K value and P value, and then press ENTER to

confirm . Accumulative volume value checked by moving cursor on “∑” and press

ENTER, then display as below

∑ : (CLR 0000)

0000000.0 t

To remove accumulative volume value, press ENTER on the above display and type
password “4321”. Then press ENTER to confirm this performance. When setting week

Pushing and keys sets date and time requested to regenerate, then press

ENTER to get into, display as below

Note: Interval mode setting. Move cursor on Interval and press ENTER to get into,
display as below

Interval time

0000 min

Set interval time from 1 to 9999 seconds, and then press ENTER .
Note: among four regeneration modes, remote mode is highest priority, namely no matter Week

timing or Interval mode, as long as Stager controller receives remote signal, it will initiate

regeneration program.;

Business Lock: if its function is needed please contact to us.

2.4. M program: Move cursor on M Prog and press ENTER to get into M program
setting, display as below

Program

Stages: 3

Change number of push key to change number of stages (1-16 total) and press

6/11
ENTER (3 stager as example), display as below

Program: 1/3 stages

Time: 0000 seconds

Push and press ENTER to access step width setting of first stage. Adjust this step

width based on systematic requirement (from 1 second to 9999seconds). Up completion,

press ENTER to confirm this setting. And then go to second stage setting by

pressing .

Note: How many total stages needed should be identified by technique of water treatment. For

example, normally, Media Filter needs two stages, fast rinse and back wash. Softening system needs

three stages, back wash, brine, slow rinse and fast rinse.

S1, S3 program setting: select S1 or S2 program, and then press to go into

setting display. Move cursor to certain “- ” which stage needs assistant signal output.
And then transfer “-” to “*” to activate. S1 and S3 programs are restricted by M
program on the number of stages and the step width of each stage.
S2 program setting: after setting S1 and S2, press ENTER to go into setting display.

S prog: 2 N=2/3

black line and shield line both link to 15 terminal COM. 14 terminal is no connection.

Instruction: terminal 25 and 26 are two input points of external feedback signal.
Regeneration of JKA Stager Controller is restrained immediately when any of both forms
short circuit with COM linking. As far as releasing external feedback signal, regeneration
can be available. This function are normally used to avoid coinstantaneous regeneration
