AUXILIARY OUTPUT
The electronic controller’s auxiliary output can be used
to operate a chlorine generator. It provides a 24V DC,
up to 500 mA, current from terminal J4 on the electronic
control board. This current is on during the brine draw
portion of the softener’s recharge cycle.
POWER OUTAGE MEMORY
If electrical power to the softener’s control is lost, inter-
nal memory will maintain most settings such as the
hardness and recharge time. However, unless the
power outage was very brief, the clock’s present time
will need to be reset. During a power outage, the dis-
play will be blank and the softener will not recharge.
When electrical power is restored:
1
. Check the display.
2a
. If the present time is displayed steadily (not flash-
ing), the controller did not lose time and you do not
need to reset the clock.
2b
. If a time is flashing in the display, then the clock
needs to be reset to the correct present time. See
“Set Present Time of Day” on page 4. The flashing
display is to remind you to reset the clock. If you
do not reset the clock, then recharges will most like-
ly occur at the wrong time of day.
NOTE:
If the softener was recharging when power was
lost, it will finish the cycle when power returns.
