EQUIPMENT INSTALLATION continued
Outdoor Locations
It is recommended that the system be installed indoors . When
the water conditioning system must be installed outdoors,
several items must be considered .
• Moisture — The valve and 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 are: constant heavy
mist, near corrosive environment, upwards spray from
sprinkler .
• 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 .
• 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 .
• Insects — The controller and valve have been designed
to keep all but the smallest insects out of the critical
areas .
Things You Need to Know
• When the controller is first plugged in, it may display
an Err 3, this means that the controller is rotating the
camshaft to the home position .
• The preset default time of recharge is 2:00 AM .
• The controller is programmed to recharge if a recharge
has not taken place in the last 7 days . This setting cannot
be changed .
• Make sure control power source is plugged in . The
transformer should be connected to a non-switched
power source .
• Unless changed, the settings for a newly installed system
are:
Hardness - 25 grains per gallon
Salt Setting - HC (High Capacity)
Internal System clock starts at 0 hours (midnight)
The first recharge will occur when the system clock
reaches 2:00 AM
• Test your water . Take a 4-5 oz sample of your water to
someone who can test for hardness . This information will
be used to setup the control .
Inspection
The system is shipped with several parts unassembled . When
parts are removed from the packing, they should be inspected
for damage . If any parts are damaged or missing, contact your
supplier .
WARNING:
When handling the media tank do not turn it
upside down or drop on its side.
When the carton is first opened, the softener will be standing
upright .
CAUTION!
REMOVE BRINE TANK SLOWLY

Figure 2
WARNING:
The brine tank fits tightly over the valve.
When removing the brine tank tip it forward
and rotate slightly to pull off. Take care not
to damage valve cover or control.
To assemble the system, remove the salt tank components
(cover, tank and brine tube assembly) from the shipping
container .
1 . Remove the brine well, parts box and brine line .
2 . Lift the brine tank off unit
3 . Tilt the brine tank forward and slowly lift free .
The media tank can now be removed .
To Assemble the Salt Tank:
1 . Stand the salt tank up and in position . Level as needed .
The tank has two ports that will be connected . One to a
drain and one to the valve .
2 . Remove the overflow fitting from the brine tube. Place the
brine tube in position . Align the large hole in the brine well
with the hole in the brine tank. Install the overflow fitting in
this hole to secure well to tank . Lay cover aside for now .
To Assemble the Media Tank:
1 . Stand the tank up and in position .
2 . If the floor under the media tank is uneven, level as needed.
WARNING:
The media tank contains loose particles that
will shift. If the tank is turned upside down or
laid back quickly, the particles may enter the
valve. If this happens, the valve may need to
be disassembled and cleaned.
