1. Conrmthatthecontrollerisconguredforthepropervoltage:120,240or
24-volt.SeeIDlabel,aswellasthelabellocatedontopofthetransformer
designating voltage. (See Fig. 1)
2. TheROpumpmotorormotorstarterandthesolenoidvalvesmustbeofthe
same voltage: 120, 240, or 24-volt.
3. Conrmthatthe(3)inputsignals–pressureswitch,tanklevelswitch,
andpretreatswitch–areallofthesameconguration,normallyopenOR
normallyclosed.
4. Conrmthedesiredjumpersettingsforyouroperation.Thejumpersare
factorysettoPositionBAutoReset(disabled),PressureFaultRetry
(disabled),TankFullrestarttimedelay(2seconds),Inputcontacttype(NC,

functions,movethatjumpertoPositionA.(SeeTableonnextpage.)
5. Ifawireharnessisprovidedwiththiscontroller,skipthissectionand
proceedtoStep6.Ifwiringtothecontrollerisrequired,proceedasfollows:
A. Remove the enclosure cover.
 B. Markanddrillnecessaryelectricalentryholesintheempty 
enclosure.
 C. Terminatenecessarywiringtotheterminalstripsasrequired. 
 (SeeFig.1)Eachterminalislabeledfortheproperconnection.
 TerminalstripP1ishighvoltageforpower,motor,inlet,andush
 solenoid.Utilizeproper3conductorwirefortheappliance.
WARNING:Thecontrollerisratedformaximum20-amptotalload.
 TerminalstripP2islow-voltageforinputsignalsfromtankfull,pressure
 fault,andpretreatlockout.Usesmallgauge2conductorcableforthese
wire connections.
6. Position and mount the enclosure in the desired location.
7. Connect all wiring to the appropriate appliances. Do not connect to the
power source at this time.
8. Reassemble the enclosure, be sure to coil and leave some slack wire inside
the enclosure.
9. Turn the power switch to the OFF position.
10. Connect the power wire 120, 240, or 24-volt to its source.
11. Proceed to turn the power switch On and test the completed unit as
necessary.
12.ObservethestatusLEDcolortoconrmsystemstatus.

WhenthepowerswitchitturnedON,thestatusLEDwilllightGreen,theinletvalvewithOPENand,aftera
5-seconddelay,theROpumpwillstart.
Undernormaloperation,theROunitwillrununtil:(A)thestoragetankisfull(statusLEDAmber)or(B)Pretreat
lockouthasoccurred(statusLEDashingGreen).WhenAorBhascleared,afteratimedelay,theROunit
willrestart,andthestatusLEDwillreturntoGreen.JumpersettingJ-6selectsa2-secondor15-minutetank
fullrestarttimedelay.
UponanalarmsignalforPressureFault,thestatusLEDwillturnRED,theROpumpwillstop,andtheinlet
valve will close.
IfjumperJ-4andJ-5areinPositionB(disabled),thestatusLEDwillashREDandtheROunitwillnotrestart
untilthePowerSwitchhasbeenmanuallycycledOFFandthenONtoresettheunit.
IfjumperJ-4isinPositionA(autoreset),every60minutesthecontrollerwillcheckthepressurefaultand
eitherstayOFForSTARTaccordingly.
IfJ-5isinPositionA(pressurefaultretry),theROunitwillattempttorestartafter30seconds,then5minutes,
then 30 minutes.
Ifthepressurealarmhasnotclearedafterthethirdattempt,theROunitwillremaino󰀨untilmanuallyreset.
IfjumperJ-4andJ-5areinPositionA,afterapressurefaultcondition,theROunitwillcontinuallyattemptto
restartaftereach60-minutecycleuntilthepressureswitchinputhascleared.
IfjumperJ-8isinPositionA,theROunitwillushevery24hoursofelapsedtime.IfjumperJ-8isinPosition
B,theROunitwillushontankfull.DuringFlush,theinletandushvalvesareopenandtheROpumpis
On.Theushtimeis5minutes.ThestatusLEDwilldouble-ashAMBER.
CAUTION
1. There are live circuits inside the controller even when the power switch on the front panel is in
the OFF position. Never open the front panel without rst disconnecting power from the outlet.
Prewired controllers are supplied with an 8 foot, 18 AWG power cord with USA style plug. A #1
Phillips driver is required to open the front panel.
2. Low voltage signal wires (probes, ow switch, water meter, etc.) should never be run
in conduit with high voltage (like 115VAC) wires.
3. Never attempt to land connections to the controller without rst disconnecting power from the outlet.
4. Do not block access to disconnect power during mounting and installation.
5. The controller should be connected to its own isolated circuit breaker, and for best
results, the ground should be a true earth ground, not shared. Any attempt to bypass the grounding
will compromise the safety of users and property.
6. The electrical installation of the controller must be performed by trained personnel only and
conform to all applicable National, State and Local codes.
7. Operation of this product in a manner not specied by the manufacturer may result in damage
to equipment or persons.
8. Avoid mounting in locations that expose the controller to direct sunlight, vapors, vibration,
liquid spills or extreme temperatures; less than 0°F (-17.8°C) or greater than 120°F (50°C).
EMI(electromagnetic interference) from radio transmissions and electric motors can also cause
damage or interference and should be avoided.
