optional bypass, open bypass valve. Turn on main water supply. Open a cold water faucet. This will clear the line of any 

debris (solder, pipe dope, etc.) that may be in the line. Let water run at faucet for a couple minutes, or until clear. Turn off 

faucet. Now plug the transformer into a 120 volt receptacle (be certain the receptacle is uninterrupted). Within 5 seconds 

the control display and buttons will illuminate and the time of day screen will appear.
