Clack (V3186-06) WS1 Adapter 120 Volt 15 Volt Transformer
Technical Details
| Part Number | V3186-06 (replaces V3186-05) |
| Input Voltage | 120V AC |
| Output Voltage | 15V DC |
| Cord Length | 16 feet |
| Active Wires | Two outer wires (black and white carry voltage) |
| Compatibility | Post-2017 Clack WS1 valves and control boards only |
| Valve Type | Clack WS1 and private-label equivalents |
| Application | Water softener control valve power supply |
Setup Instructions
- Confirm your Clack WS1 valve was manufactured after 2017 or uses a DC-compatible control board before installing this transformer.
- Test voltage on the two outer wires (black and white) using a multimeter to verify 15V DC output before connecting to the control board.
- Connect the transformer to the appropriate power input on your Clack WS1 control board, ensuring proper polarity and secure connection.
- Plug the transformer into a grounded 120V AC outlet and verify the control board powers on correctly.
Control Board Compatibility Guide
This V3186-06 DC transformer works exclusively with Clack control boards manufactured after 2017 and certain 5-button boards made after 2014. It will not work with older pre-2014 control boards or 3-button TC boards made before 2017, which require the discontinued AC transformer V3186. If you have a post-2017 board, both the older AC transformer and this newer DC transformer will function correctly. All boards manufactured after 2017 accept either power supply type, providing flexibility for replacement and upgrades. Clack discontinued the AC transformer V3186 in July 2021, making this DC model the current standard for newer installations.
