New Salt System

I just replaced a Hayward salt system with PureLine 60,000. Gallon system.  I wired it with a plug that goes into an outlet for power.  I have two questions.  First, since it is plugged into the wall, will the system shut off when it senses “no flow”?  I noticed in the instructions it said to wire it to the pump timer. Second, it is only registering 1700 on the salt, when the salt is really at 3100, but it is not blinking “low salt”, any idea why?
