CIRCUIT BOARD

The AccuSoft™ microprocessor circuit board controls every function of the Culligan Silver Series and Gold Series
water softeners. This board has several unique features which allow it to perform a variety of functions. Familiarization
of the board is essential for a thorough understanding of the softener.

The AccuSoft circuit board has a set of default settings that the microprocessor will reset to whenever any dip
switches are flipped, or if a meter or Aqua-Sensor cable is attached or removed while the power is on the control.
T able 2 is a list of the default microprocessor settings.

It is recommended to always disconnect the power from the circuit board prior to replacing an Aqua-Sensor probe
or Meter cable so that the programmed settings are not lost.

FIG. 2

AQUA-SENSOR® OPERA TION

The Aqua-Sensor Sensing Device utilizes a pair of cells to sense the passage of hardness through the water
softener. It can automatically adjust for water with variable hardness levels. As a result, it is the most efficient means
of operating a water softener. When hardness is sensed, the unit signals for a regeneration. The "REGEN" enunciator
will light at this point. The unit will perform a standard regeneration cycle at the preset time, unless the number 6 dip
switch is turned on. When the number 6 dip switch is in the "ON" position, a regeneration will begin immediately .

The Aqua-Sensor models contain a feature which can automatically detect when the brine solution has been rinsed
through the Cullex

media. This feature will advance the control to the next position when it senses that the brine

®

has been rinsed out prior to the time set in the Brine/Rinse option.

Tables 3A and 3B show the total capacity of the Aqua-Sensor at various salt dosages, along with the average
capacity used prior to a signal calling for regeneration.

Since the Aqua-Sensor device automatically senses hardness in the water , the programming is limited to the Time­of-Day , Time-of-Regeneration, Salt Dosage, Backwash Time and Brine/Rinse settings. The numeric enunciator will
only light for those programming options (numbers 1-6, 9, and 10). Refer to the programming section for further
information on programming the microprocessor.

SOFT-MINDER® OPERA TION

The Soft-Minder meter utilizes a turbine impeller to accurately monitor the customers water usage. After a
predetermined amount of water has passed through the system, the microprocessor will signal a regeneration. The
"REGEN" enunciator will light at this point. The unit will perform a standard regeneration cycle at the preset time,
unless the number 6 dip switch is turned on. When the number 6 dip switch is in the "ON" position, a regeneration
will begin immediately.

The microprocessor automatically calculates the gallons of water which can be treated based on the salt dosage, the
water hardness, and the tank size. Refer to T ables 4B and 5B for capacity and reserve values that the microprocessor
will use based on its settings. The GALLONS TO SIGNAL setting can be manually set to directly override the
microprocessor calculations. This setting can be modified when positioned at numeric enunciator 8. The gallon
value may need to be raised or lowered to meet the needs of your specific application. The control must be cycled
through a complete regeneration before the gallon override setting is stored by the microprocessor.

NOTICE: Changing the capacity will affect the reserve capacity. An INCREASE in the gallons capacity will

DECREASE the reserve capacity. A DECREASE in the gallons capacity will INCREASE the reserve capacity.
Refer to Tables 4B and 5B to determine the units total capacity based on salt dosage and the hardness level.

The programming of the Soft-Minder provides several settable variables, the Time-of-Day, Time-of-Regeneration,
Salt Dosage, Backwash Time, Brine/Rinse Time, Hardness, and Gallons to Signal. The numeric enunciator will light
for programming sequences 1-10. Refer to the programming section for further information on programming the
microprocessor.

NOTICE: Dip switch #3 needs to be in the "ON" position for the meter to correctly count gallons.

TIME CLOCK OPERA TION

When the microprocessor is set-up as a time clock unit, the Culligan Silver Series™ and Gold Series™ 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 and 5B based on the salt
dosage and the water hardness. Divide the units total capacity by the anticipated daily gallon usage for the
household. This value is the regeneration interval, always round this value up to the nearest whole number. This
regeneration interval can be set anywhere from 1 to 42 days.

The programming for the time clock models is limited to Time-of-Day , T ime-of-Regeneration, Salt Dosage, Backwash
Time, Brine/Rinse Time, and the Regeneration Interval. The numeric enunciator will only light for those programming
options (number 1-6, and 8-10). Refer to the programming section for further information on programming the
microprocessor.

FAMILIARIZATION 7

CAPACITY AND SAL T SETTINGS

The current software calculates the gallon capacities based on the yoke style tanks. The yoke style tanks have 0.86
ft3 of Cullex® resin in the 9" tanks and 1.4 ft3 of Cullex resin in the 12" tanks, whereas the new center opening tanks
have 1.0 ft3 in the 9" tanks and 1.5 ft3 of Cullex resin in the 12" tanks. T o take advantage of the additional capacities
obtained with the added resin follow the procedure listed below for calculating the capacity settings.

1. Compensated Water Hardness.

If your water supply contains iron, compensate for it by the following procedure:

1. Multiply the iron by 0.1 and add the result to the hardness.
Example: (3 ppm of iron x 0.1) + 25 gpg of hardness = 25.3 gpg of total hardness

2 . Choose the % capacity you want and refer to the table below for the appropriate multiplier .

Example: 67% capacity gives a multiplier of 1.5.

T ABLE 3

% Capacity 50% 67% 75%
Multiplier 2 1.5 1.33

3 . Multiply the result from Step 1 by the multiplier chosen in Step 2. This is the compensated hardness.

Example: 25.3 gpg total hardness x 1.5 = 38 gpg compensated hardess.

4. Use the effective hardness for sizing and to determine salt dosage and regeneration frequency.

5. The forced regeneration feature should be used for Soft-Minder meter operation to ensure the resin bed
does not become iron fouled due to lack of water flow. See "Programming the Option Settings" for the
forced regeneration feature.

2. Salt Dosage

From Table 4, select the salt dosage at which the softener will be operated.

• Low Setting — Maximum salt efficiency , more frequent regeneration, reduced overall softening capacity .

• Medium Setting — Good combination of efficiency and overall softening capacity .

• High Setting — Maximum softening capacity, less frequent regeneration, and reduced salt efficiency.

Recommended whenever iron is present and for hardness levels above 30 Grains Per Gallon, or high volume
water usage.

REGENERA TION

There are several conditions that will cause the control to trip a regeneration. The 'REGEN' enunciator will light
when the control has signaled for a regeneration. The 'REGEN' enunciator will flash while the control is in regeneration.

The following are conditions that will call for regeneration:

1. When the Aqua-Sensor® probe senses the hardness in the Cullex® media.

2. When the Soft-Minder® meter has recorded the passage of a predetermined number of gallons.

3. When the time clock has counted past the set number of days.

4. At the preset time, when the number of days without a regeneration is equal to the days set in menu #8A.
5 . At the preset time, when the 'REGEN.’ button is depressed once. 'REGEN.' will light.
6 . Immediately, when the ‘REGEN.” button is depressed twice. 'REGEN.' will light and blink.
7 . Immediately, if power to the unit has been of f for more than 3 hours.

If dip switch 6 is in the ON position the unit will begin a regeneration immediately for instances 1 and 2. With dip
switch 6 in the OFF position, the regeneration will not begin until the preset regeneration time.
