4. Removing the Old Board:

   Unscrew or unclip the old control board from its mounting points.

   Carefully re-connect all wiring harnesses and connectors to the new control board, ensuring each connection is secure and matches the original configuration.

   Before re-applying power, double-check all connections. Ensure no wires are pinched or loose. Replace any covers or panels removed during the process.

8. Power Up:

   Restore the water supply and then reconnect the power to the water softener unit. The unit should power on and display its initial settings.

Operating Instructions

Once installed, the control board manages the water softener's regeneration cycles and settings. Refer to your Waterboss Pro Plus 380 water softener's main user manual for detailed instructions on:

• Setting the time of day.
• Adjusting water hardness settings.
• Initiating manual regeneration cycles.
• Understanding display messages and indicators.

The control board itself does not have user-operable buttons beyond what is integrated into the water softener's interface.

Maintenance

The Waterboss Pro Plus 380 Control Board is designed for long-term reliability and typically requires minimal maintenance. To ensure optimal performance:

• Keep Dry: Ensure the area around the control board remains dry and free from water leaks. Moisture can damage electronic components.
• Cleanliness: Periodically inspect the board for dust or debris. If necessary, gently clean with a soft, dry brush or compressed air. Do not use liquid cleaners.
• Secure Connections: During routine water softener maintenance, briefly check that all wiring connections to the control board remain secure.

If your Waterboss Pro Plus 380 water softener is not functioning correctly after control board replacement, consider the following:

• No Power/Display:
  • Check the power supply to the water softener.
  • Ensure all power connections to the control board are secure.
  • Verify the outlet is functional.
• Incorrect Operation/Error Codes:
  • Refer to your main Waterboss Pro Plus 380 water softener manual for specific error code interpretations and troubleshooting steps.
  • Double-check all wiring connections to the control board for proper seating.
• Unit Not Regenerating:
