Drill a hole suitable for #8 screw on an adjacent 

wall. Insert a #8 screw in this hole and tighten the screw, 

leaving a ¼” gap between the screw head and the wall. 

Use the provided plastic anchor if necessary. Ensure that 

the controller is within the proximity of the System so that 

the cables can reach the Drain Solenoid Valve and the 

Inlet Solenoid Valve 

(for the UF100 with optional Surface 

Water Option Kit model and Systems equipped with the 

Surface Water Option Kit only)

.

The transformer cable should also be long enough to reach 

the electrical receptacle. Do not connect any cables at this 
time.

Mount  the  Controller  by  supporting  the  keyhole 

located  at  the  back  of  the  Controller  on  the  screw  head.  

Level the Controller.  Remove the Controller front cover and 

drill two additional holes suitable for a #8 screw through the 

openings.  Insert  two  additional  #8  screws  into  these  two 

holes  and  secure  the  Controller  to  the  wall  by  tightening 

the  two  screws.  Use  the  plastic  anchors  if  necessary.

Ensure the transformer is not plugged into the 

electrical receptacle. Connect the power supply cable from 

the transformer to “24VAC” terminals on the Controller.  

Polarity is not important. 

3

 

 

Connect the Drain Solenoid Valve cable to the

 

“drain” 

terminals on the Controller. Refer to FIGURE 27.

Plug the Drain Solenoid Valve adaptor into the Drain Solenoid 

Valve. Ensure that the orientation of the adaptor is correct as 

shown below and the gasket is in place. Secure the adaptor to 

the Drain Solenoid Valve by tightening the screw on the adaptor.

For the Optional Surface Water Option Kit:

Connect  the  Inlet  Solenoid  Valve  cable  to  the

  “inlet” 

terminals  on  the  Controller.  Refer  to  FIGURE  27. 

Polarity  is  not  important.

Plug  the  Inlet  Solenoid  Valve 

adaptor  into  the  Inlet  Solenoid  Valve.  Ensure  that  the 

orientation  of  the  adaptor  is  correct  and  the  gasket  is  in 

place.    Secure  the  adaptor  to  the  Inlet  Solenoid  Valve  by 

tightening the screw on the adaptor. Refer to FIGURE 28.
