1 or 2):
The floor drain and/or drain hose may be raised above the
drain port of the system. The entire drain line must be leak-
proof, The floor drain does not have to be in the same room as
the system.
As an alternative, the system may be drained directly into a
laundry tub. The laundry tub is usually above the drain port of
the system.
For Systems That Have Both Flushing and Draining
Sequences (Program 3 or 4):
The draining sequence is non-pressurized. Because the system
is completely emptied under only atmospheric pressure during
the draining sequence, the entire drain line, including the floor
drain, must be below the drain port of the system.
NOTE: Systems installed in surface water applications must
have flushing and draining cycles.
Dedicated Trap Drain:
The trap drain must be installed in accordance with local
plumbing regulations. Ensure that there is an adequate air gap
between the drain and the main discharge line. If a dedicated
trap drain is installed in a system that undergoes both
draining and flushing cycles, ensure that the dedicated trap
drain is below the drain port of the system.

The cold water pipe is often used to ground electrical
outlets inside the dwelling. If grounding connection(s) to the
cold water line exists downstream of the system, the
grounding path might have been broken after this installation.
To restore the grounding path, attach a ground wire across
the inlet and outline lines of the system. Refer to the local
electrical code for the ground wire gauge, ground wire
material, and connection method requirements.
WARNING:
occupants from electrical shock. Broken grounding
may cause personal injuries and/or death.

Installing the Controller
WARNING:
and that the internal fuse in the 24 VDC transformer is
not blown during installation, install the plug from the
transformer into the controller terminals labeled 24
VDC before plugging the transformer into an outlet.

Use the provided plastic anchor if necessary. Ensure that
the controller is within the proximity of the system so that the
cables can reach the drain solenoid valve and the inlet
solenoid valve (for systems equipped with the surface water
option kit only).
Drill a hole suitable for a #8 screw on an adjacent wall. Insert a
#8 screw in this hole and tighten the screw, leaving a 1/4" gap
between the screw head and the wall. Drill a hole suitable for
a #8 screw on an adjacent wall. Insert a #8 screw in this hole
and tighten the screw, leaving a 1/4" gap between the screw
head and the wall.
The transformer cable should also be long enough to reach
the electrical receptacle. Do not connect any cables at this
time.
