While an error code appears in the display, all buttons

are inoperable except the SELECT button.  SELECT

remains operational so the service person can per-

form the Manual Advance Diagnostics, see below, to

further isolate the problem.

Procedure for removing error code from dis-

play:

      

1

.  Unplug power supply from electrical outlet.

      

2

.  Correct problem.

      

3

.  Plug power supply back in.

      

4

.  Wait 8 minutes.  The error code will return if

the problem was not corrected.

MANUAL ADVANCE DIAGNOSTICS

Use the following procedures to advance the water

treatment system through the regeneration cycles to

check operation.
Remove the top cover to expose the valve and ob -

serve cam and switch operation during valve rotation.

1

. Press and hold SELECT for 3 seconds until “000”

shows in the display, then release.

2

. The 3 digits indicate water meter operation as fol-

lows:

      000 (steady) = Soft water not in use, and no flow

through the meter.

      Open a nearby soft water faucet.
      000 to 199 (continual) = Repeats for each gallon

of water passing through

the meter.

. The letter “P” and a dash (or dashes) indicate

POSITION switch operation (See Figure 35).  If the

. Use the RECHARGE button to manually advance

the valve into each cycle and check correct switch

operation.

NOTE:

Be sure water is in contact with the salt, and

not separated by a salt bridge (See "Breaking

A Salt Bridge" section).

. While in this diagnostic screen, the following infor-

mation is available and may be beneficial for vari-

ous reasons.  This information is retained by the

computer from the first time electrical power is

applied to the electronic controller.

. Press the 

p

UP button to display the number of

days this electronic control has had electrical

power applied.

   

b

. Press the 

q

DOWN button to display the number

of regenerations initiated by this electronic con-

trol since the code number was entered.

. Press and hold the SELECT button until the model

code (“EPHy” for Model EPHY) shows in the dis-

play.  This code identifies the water treatment sys-

tem model.  If an incorrect model code is dis-

played, the system will operate on incorrect config-

uration data.

AUTOMATIC ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS

This water treatment system has a self-diagnostic

function for the electrical system (except input power

and/or water meter).  The system monitors electronic

components and circuits for correct operation.  If a mal-

function occurs, an error code appears in the display.
