Introduction The Culligan Medallist Series™ Water Softeners are tested and validated by WQA and certified by UL against ANSI/NSF Standard 44 for the effective reduction of calcium and magnesium along with Barium and Radium 226/228*. Because the ability of the unit to remove barium and radium is based upon reducing hardness to less than 1.0 grains per gallon, effective hardness reduction should be periodically verified. Hardness sample kits are available through your Culligan dealer.

Preparation COMPONENT DESCRIPTION The water conditioner is shipped from the factory in a minimum of four cartons. Remove all components from their cartons and inspect them before starting installation. Control Valve Assembly - Includes the 5-cycle regeneration control valve and the Accusoft® Microprocessor. A small parts pack will contain additional installation hardware. An Owner’s Guide is included.
will remove larger particles, but they may not be washed out in regeneration effectively and will eventually foul the ion exchange resin. A filtering treatment will be required to remove this type of iron. 3. Organic Bound Iron - This type of iron is strongly attached to an organic compound in the water. The ion exchange process alone cannot break this attachment and the softener will not remove this type of iron. 4. Bacterial Iron - This type of iron is protected inside a bacteria cell.
Installation PLACEMENT Refer to Figure 1 for system placement. • Set the media tank on a solid, level surface near water, drain and electrical facilities. Place the outlet (black coupling) of the tank on the left. • Set the brine system on a flat, smooth, solid surface as near the media tank as possible. MOUNT THE CONTROL VALVE See Figure 2. 1. Remove the two plastic caps from the tank couplings and lubricate the coupling O-rings with silicone lubricant.
FIG. 2 FIG. 3 PLUMBING CONNECTIONS Two methods of connecting the water softener to the plumbing system are available. Shipped with each softener is a Culligan® Cul-Flo-Valv® bypass valve, either PN 01012488 (3/4" sweat) or 01010238 (3/4" NPT). If local conditions warrant, you may use the sweat adaptor kits, PN 00331444 or 00331445. NOTICE: The Soft-Minder® meter cannot be used with the sweat adaptors.
FIG. 4 FIG. 5 CAUTION: When reinstalling back plate to control valve, make sure the u-clip fully engages the two bottom holes of the bracket (Figure 6). Secure bracket from the top with the two mounting screws provided. CONNECT THE BRINE LINE Refer to Figures 6 & 7. • Measure a length of brine line sufficient to reach from the brine tank to the brine fitting, with no sharp bends. For easier access to the float it is recommended to add an extra four feet (1.3 meters) of length to the brine line.
DRAIN LINE CONNECTION Refer to Table 1, page 11 under the applicable tank size for drain line length and height limitations, and to Figure 3. • • • • Remove 1/2” pipe clamp from the small parts pack included with the control. Route a length of 1/2” drain line from the drain elbow to the drain. Fasten the drain line to the elbow with the clamp. Secure the drain line to prevent its movement during regeneration.
ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS The power cord needs to be connected to the plug-in transformer, wire orientation is not critical. Figure 9 shows the cord attachment to the transformer. NOTICE: Observe all state and local electrical codes. NOTICE: The plug-in transformer is rated for indoor installations only. FIG.

Settings The mircoprocessor can be set in two distinct operation modes, Soft-Minder® meter or Timeclock. As shipped from the factory, the control is set for 8" Timeclock operation. SOFT-MINDER OPERATION The Soft-Minder meter utilizes a turbine impeller to accurately monitor the customers water usage. After a predetermined amount of water has passed through the system, the microprocessor will signal a regeneration. The "REG" enunciator will light at this point.
2. Salt Dosage From Table 3, select the salt dosage at which the softener will be operated. • Low Setting — Maximum salt efficiency, more frequent regeneration, reduced overall softening capacity. • Medium Setting — Good combination of efficiency and overall softening capacity. • High Setting — Maximum softening capacity, less frequent regeneration, and reduced salt efficiency. Recommended whenever iron is present and for hardness levels above 30 Grains Per Gallon, or high volume water usage.
Example - Meter: Softener Model Medallist 2M Capacity @ 9 lb. Salt Dosage: 25,100 Grains Compensated Water Hardness: 19 Grains Per Gallon Estimated Daily Water Usage: 300 Gallons Per Day Softener Capacity Treated Water Volume Set Point = Compensated Hardness — Water Usage Softening Capacity Divide by Compensated Hardness Result is total number of gallons of soft water per regeneration Subtract daily Water Usage (needed as a reserve to ensure continuous soft water until regeneration occurs).
Treated Water Volume Set Point Work Sheet - Timeclock Models 1. Enter Softening Capacity 2. Divide by Compensation Hardness Result is Total Gallons of Soft Water Per Regeneration ÷ = 3. Subtract Daily Water Usage (Reserve) — 4.
Programming Make sure the inlet water supply is turned off, then supply power to the timer. The display will power up flashing "12:00 PM" and the motor will energize and cycle the control, without stopping, to the home position. This is required to ensure that the control is in the home position. FIG. 13 - Circuit Board Display The timer uses four buttons: 1. 2. 3. 4. STATUS: PLUS SIGN "+": MINUS SIGN "-": REGEN.: Advance timer through display options. Increase the setting. Decrease the setting.
4. Timeclock Backup Press the “STATUS” key. The display will blink “dIP4” for 3 seconds and then show the current status. Toggle between “OFF” (Timeclock backup is off) and “ON” (Timeclock backup is on) with the “+” or “-” key. Note: Changing this setting will not change any of the programmed values and will load the default Timeclock Backup value of 3 days. Programming step 7 will be activated when this is set to On.
Step 3 – Programming Salt Dosage Press the “Status” key after programming regeneration time. The display will blink “SLtP” if set to English or “SLtG” if set to Metric for 3 seconds and then display the salt dosage. Adjust the setting with the “+” or “-” key (3-24 lbs.)(.5, 1, 1.5, 2-10 kgs.) Note: This option will not show if the control is set to Filter mode. Step 4 – Programming Backwash Time Press the “Status” key after programming salt dosage.
Exiting Program Mode From Step 6 (or step 7 if it is active) press the “Status” key. The display will go blank. Press the “Status” key again to exit programming. Note: The control will exit the programming mode if no key press activity takes place within one minute. Locking the Programmed Menu Press and hold the “+” key for 3 seconds while in the service mode. The display will show the status of the lock feature. (“LoC” or “unL”) Adjust with the “+” or “-“ key.
Manual Cycling The Culligan® microprocessor can be indexed through the various regeneration stages. For all steps, the cycle numbers do not appear, or change, until the motor stops. 1. 2. 3. Press the status button to move past the programming steps until the display is blank. From blank display press the “+” key. An "H" will appear in the display. The control is in the HOME position. REG Press and hold the regen button. The 'REG' icon will blink, and the motor will advance the control.
Service Check The service mode allows one to view the instantaneous flow rate, the gallons remaining before the softener signals for regeneration, the number of regenerations in the past 14 days, the total number of regenerations the control has cycled through and the number of days since the last regeneration. To enter the service check mode, follow these steps: 1. From the Blank display: 2. Press “-” key. The display will blink “FLO” for 3 seconds and then display the gallons per minute flow rate.
Operation REGENERATION There are several conditions that will cause the control to trip a regeneration. The “REG” enunciator will light when the control has signaled for a regeneration. The “REG” enunciator will flash while the control is in regeneration. The following are conditions that will call for regeneration: 1 2 3 4 5 6 When the Soft-Minder® meter has recorded the passage of a predetermined number of gallons. When the time clock has counted past the set number of days.
BEFORE LEAVING THE INSTALLATION SITE Flush the sanitizing solution from the unit by initiating a full recharge cycle (by pushing and holding the 'REGEN.' button for three seconds). Ensure that the brine tank has water to the level of the float. Add water to the tank with a hose or put the unit into a full recharge so that the brine refill cycle will fill the tank with the proper amount of water. The water heater will hold hard water for several days.
Sanitizing Instructions A water softener in daily use on a potable water supply generally requires no special attention other than keeping the salt tank filled. Occasionally, however, a unit may require sanitation under one of the following conditions: • • The unit has stood idle for a week or more (the premises vacant or the residents on vacation). On private supplies, the appearance of off-tastes and odors, particularly a musty or "rotten egg" odor .
