Bleed (solenoid valve) 

This control output is identified on the controller PC board as location PL5. The terminal 
block connections for PL5 are HOT (LINE), RTN (return or Neutral), and Ground. 

This control output will energize when the programmed conductivity set point is exceeded. 
This output will de-energize when the conductivity reading falls below the set point minus 
the fixed set point differential (-5% of set point). 

 

Conductivity Probe 

The controller is supplied with one temperature compensated conductivity sensor.  The 
sensor connects to PL1 of the controller PC board. Match the wire color from the probe with 
the text next to connector PL1.

Wire Connections

These connections are made using a green terminal block that uses screws to retain a wire inserted 
into the square openings as seen below.  Using a small flat head insulated screwdriver, loosen the 
screw enough to allow clearance for the wire, then insert the wire and tighten the screw securely.

  

 

Controllers without an external flow detection switch must have a jumper 
installed across the flow switch input, PL2 (see 

Fig.3

).

parts.
