Note:
The nipple must extend no more than 1 inch above the cover plate.
Warning! Electrical shock hazard! Unplug the unit before removing the
cover or accessing any internal control parts.
Caution!
Disassembly while under water pressure can result in flooding.
Final Start-up
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. When the Soft-Minder
®
meter has recorded the passage of a predetermined number of gallons.
2. When the time clock has counted past the set number of days.
3. At the preset time, when the number of days without a regeneration is equal to the Timeclock
Backup setting.
4. At the preset time, when the “REGEN” button is depressed once. “REG” will light.
5. Immediately, when the “REGEN” button is depressed for five seconds. “REG” will light and blink.
6. Immediately, if power to the unit has been off for more than 3 hours and time of day has been
restored.
If “dIP 2” is set to “Id”, the unit will begin a regeneration immediately for instances 1 and 2. With
“dIP 2” set to “del”, the regeneration will not begin until the preset regeneration time.
Start-Up
• Close the main water supply valve.
• Set the Cul-Flo-Valv
®
to the bypass position.
• Ensure that all faucets at the installation site are closed.
• Direct the drain line discharge into a bucket where flow can be observed.
• Plug the transformer into a 120 Volt, 60 Hz, single-phase receptacle.
• Wait for the control to energize the motor and home itself.
• Set the timer to the correct time of day.
• Open the main supply valve.
• Initiate an immediate regeneration to move the control into the backwash position.
• Refer to the section on manual cycling for information on cycling the control through its positions.
• When in the backwash position, slowly shift the bypass to the soft water position until water flows.
• Allow the tank to fill slowly until water flows from the drain line.
• When flow to drain is established, open the bypass fully. Watch the drain line discharge for signs
of resin. If signs of resin particles appear, reduce the flow. Increase the flow again when resin no
longer appears in the discharge.
• When the unit is filled with water, return the timer to the service position and proceed with setting
the microprocessor. Refer to the programming section.
• Sanitize the water softener (see sanitizing procedure on page 26).

Note:
If set to immediate mode as timeclock or timeclock backup, the unit will initiate
regeneration at 12:00 AM. In the delay mode, “REG” indicator will light at 12:00 AM and
regeneration will occur at delayed time.
Note:
Unplugging the Culligan
®
Medallist Series water softener will not affect any of the control
settings. Once programmed in, the settings will be stored indefinitely. In the event of a power failure
the time-of-day setting will be stored for 1-2 days. If longer time storage is necessary, a battery backup
is available. Refer to the Service Manual for additional information.
