present. Contact Customer Support (800) 831.7133 if any items are missing or have been damaged. Use care when
unpacking equipment to avoid damage or loss of small parts. Verify that the fuses are the correct values and that the
voltage select switch is in the proper position.
The following steps are required to install the Controller:
1. Identifynewandexistingequipmenttobeconnected.
2. Decide if the sensors will be in-line, in a separate by-pass line, or if the AK1200 flow cell will be used.
 Caution:IftheAK1200owcellisused,theinputwatermaximumpressureis25PSI.
3. Determine the supply voltage, 110 VAC or 220 VAC, and set the supply voltage switch as necessary.
4. Determine if the control to the equipment uses the same voltage as the supply voltage.
All controlled equipment must be compatible.
5. Determine the water-tap points for the flow cell bypass inlet and outlet.
6. Mount the Controller away from direct sunlight and on a flat vertical surface.
7. Connect the supply voltage with main breaker off. (Must be a separate dedicated circuit GFCI).
8. If using an AK1200 flow cell install the bypass now.
9. Connect the sensors.
10. Test the plumbing for leaks.
11. Turn on the Controller for the first time.
12. Test the equipment, using the Controller manual relay mode.
13. Calibrate the probes, then re-calibrate as the probes acclimate to the system.
Acclimation can take as little as two hours or as long as 24 hours.
14. Program the Controller.
