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. Small parts packages will contain additional installation hardware. Installation and Operations Instructions and an Owner’s Guide are included.
Temperature - Do not install the unit where it might freeze, or next to a water heater or furnace or in direct sunlight. LOCATION Space requirements - Allow 6-12 inches (15-30 cm) behind the unit for plumbing and drain lines and 4 feet (1.3 meters) above for service access and filling the salt container. Floor surface - Choose an area with solid, level floor free of bumps or irregularities.
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 for a visual on mounting the control valve to the tank. • Remove and discard the protective covers on the tank couplings.
FIGURE 2 FIGURE 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 01-0124-88 or 01-0102-38. If local conditions warrant, you may use the sweat adaptor kits, PN 00-3314-44 or 00-3314-45. NOTICE: The Soft-Minder® meter cannot be used with the sweat adaptors.
FIGURE 4 FIGURE 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. • Use the length of brine line included in the brine tank, or measure a length of brine line sufficient to reach from the brine tank to the brine fitting, with no sharp bends.
DRAIN LINE CONNECTION Refer to Table 1, page 10 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 CONNECTION The power cord needs to be connected to the plug-in transformer. Figure 9 shows the cord attachment to the transformer. NOTICE: Observe all state and local electrical codes. FIGURE 9 FRONT COVER ATTACHMENT The front door comes in protective wrap to prevent damage during shipment. The wrap also keeps the door free of fingerprints and other marks. The door should be assembled to the control as a final step, when you are finished with the installation.

Settings The mircoprocessor can be set in three distinct operation modes. Aqua-Sensor Sensing Device, Soft-Minder meter, or Timeclock. As shipped from the factory, the control is set for 9" Timeclock operation. A set of dip switches, located on the back of the control, may have to be changed for proper operation of the unit. Refer to Figure 12 and Table 3 for the proper setting of these dip switches.
TIME CLOCK OPERATION When the mircoprocessor is set-up as a time clock unit, the Culligan Mark 100 control will regenerate at fixed intervals which are determined by the water hardness, the salt dosage, and the household's water usage. To calculate the regeneration interval, locate the total gallon capacity in Table 4B or 5B based on the salt dosage and the water hardness. Divide the units total capacity by the anticipated daily gallon usage for the household.
DIP SWITCH SETTING S The microprocessor has several dip switches that can be switched for various additional functions. Listed are the functions for the dip switches used on the Mark 100 control. Dip Switch Function 4 9"-12" Tank Settings 6 Delay vs. Immediate Regeneration 7 English vs. Metric Settings 8 12 or 24 Hour Clock 10 Time Clock Backup Default (OFF) P o s i t i o n 9" Tank Delayed Regeneration English Settings 12 Hour Clock No Forced Regeneration Refer to Figure 12 for setting the dipswitches.
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". After 1 minute 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. FIGURE 13 - Circuit Board Display The timer uses four buttons: 1. 2. 3. 4. STATUS: UP ARROW: DOWN ARROW: REGEN.: Advance timer through display options. Increase the setting. Decrease the setting.
5. 6. 7. 8. Press status again, this displays the Backwash Time in minutes. The setting can be adjusted between 5 and 40 minutes by using the up and down arrows. A number “5” will appear at the bottom of the display while in this mode. Press ▲ to increase or ▼ to decrease Press status again to display the Brine/Rinse Time in minutes. The settings can be adjusted using the up and down arrows (37-85 min for 9”, 35-89 min for 12”).

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. Press the status button to move past steps 1-10 until the display is blank. Push the up arrow. The number “11” icon will light up. An "H" will appear in the display. The control is in the HOME position. Pressing the regen button once will light the 'REGEN' icon. 2. Press the regen button one more time.
Service Check The service check mode allows one to view the instantaneous flow rate, the days since the last regeneration, the total number of regenerations, the regenerations in the past fourteen days, and the gallons remaining. To enter the service check mode, follow these steps: 1. Press the status key to move past steps 1-10 until the display is blank. 2. Push the down arrow. The number '12' will appear only when the Soft-Minder® meter is connected. The display reads the gallons per minute flow rate.
Operation DISPLAY There are two display modes on the Culligan® microprocessor. As shipped from the factory, the display of the board is initially set to turn off if there has been no keyboard activity after a 1 minute period. Touching any key will relight the display. The display can be set so that it will always display the time. For information on changing the display lighting option, refer to the programming section.
BEFORE LEAVING THE INSTALLATION SITE Flush the sanitizing solution from the unit by running it to drain for a minimum of 40 gallons, or initiate a full recharge cycle (by pushing the 'REGEN.' button twice). 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 .
