FIG. 8
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. When discharging into a sink, or open floor
drain, a loop in the end of the tube will keep it filled with water and will reduce splashing at the beginning of each
regeneration.
NOTICE: Waste connections or drain outlets shall be designed and constructed to provide for connection to the
sanitary waste system through an air gap of 2 pipe diameters or 1 inch, whichever is larger.
NOTICE: Observe all plumbing codes. Most codes require an anti-siphon device or air gap at the discharge
point. The system and installation must comply with state and local laws and regulations.
FILL THE SALT STORAGE CONTAINER
Fill the salt storage container with water until the level reaches about 1 inch above the salt support plate. Pour salt
into the container. Fill with salt to within a few inches of the top.
SOFT-MINDER

METER CONNECTION
To connect the meter leads refer to Figure 8 and proceed as follows:
• Lift up the timer case from the back plate.
• Remove the small plastic plug from the backplate.
• Slip the meter harness through the hole and toward the circuit board.
• Connect the harness to the circuit board. The Soft-Minder
®
meter terminal is labeled "FLOWMETER".
• Pull any excess cable wire back out of the enclosure, and route the wiring inside the enclosure to avoid any
interference with moving parts.
• Locate the strain relief bushing in the parts pack. Place it on the cable at the point of entry to the rear of the timer
plate and push it into the hole.
NOTICE: The wire connectors must be connected to the circuit board properly. The wires must exit the plug-in
connector opposite of the raised white base of the circuit board connector. Failure to properly connect any of the
connectors will result in a malfunction of the circuit board operation.
