Note: Do not elevate the overflow line higher than

3 inches (7.6 cm) below the bottom of the overflow fitting. Do not tie into the drain line of the control unit. The overflow line must be a direct, separate line from the overflow fitting to the drain, sewer, or tub. Allow an air gap as in the drain line connection, Figure 10.

WARNING: Never insert drain line directly into a drain, sewer line, or trap (Figure 11). Always

allow an air gap between the drain line and the waste water to prevent the possibility of sewage being back-siphoned into the conditioner. Secure

the end of the drain line to prevent it from moving (Figure 11).

Brine Tank

Normally one brine tank is needed for each tank. The use of block salt or rock salt is not recommended. If a brine shelf is used, two brine tanks are required. This is due to the increased time needed to produce a concentrated brine solution when using a salt shelf. If rapid multiple exhaustions and regenerations are anticipated, do not use a salt shelf even if two brine tanks are used.

Electrical Connection

Caution: This valve and control are for dry location use only unless used with a Listed Class 2 power supply suitable for outdoor use.

The 764 Series control operates on a 12-volt alternating current power supply. This requires use of the GE Water Technologies supplied AC adapter. A variety of AC adapters are available from your supplier for different applications. They include:

AC Adapter	Input	Application	Part
	Voltage		Number
Standard	120V 60	UL listed for
		indoor	1000811
wall-mount	Hz
		installations
Outdoor	120V 60	UL listed for
		outdoor	1235448
rated	Hz
		installations

120 VAC AC Adapters:

Make sure power source matches the rating printed on the AC adapter.

Note: The power source should be constant. Be certain the AC adapter is not on a switched outlet. Power interruptions longer than 8 hours may cause the controller to lose the time and day settings. When power is restored, the control will display four dashes (- - :- -) indicating that the day and time settings must be re- entered

Note: Do not connect power by plugging in the transformer at this time. Doing so may cause difficulty in properly placing the unit into operation.

Caution: Plumbing cannot be used for electrical grounding when metal inlet and outlet piping is connected to a non-metal valve.

Connect the inlet and outlet piping together using a grounding strap or clamp to establish continuity.
