POWER OUTAGE MEMORY
If electrical power to the water softener is
lost, “memory’’ built into the timer circuitry will
keep all settings for up to 6 hours. While the
power is out, the display is blank and the water
softener will not regenerate. When electrical
power is restored, the following will occur:
Reset the present time only if the display is
flashing. The HARDNESS and RECHARGE
TIME never require resetting unless a change
is desired. Even if the clock is incorrect after
a long power outage, the softener operates
as it should to keep your water soft. However,
regenerations may occur at the wrong time of
day until you reset the clock to the correct time
of day.
NOTE:
If the water softener was regenerating
when power was lost, it will now finish the
cycle.
BLUE INDICATOR LIGHT
Steady blue light indicates that the unit is
working correctly. The light flashes when the
unit needs attention from the user.
• Light will also flash when power to the unit
has been interrupted. Check the
PRESENT
TIME
setting.
• Light flashes and
DAYS TO EMPTY
flashes -
check salt level and add salt as required.
• Light flashes and
Err
is in the display -
electrical problem with system.
LOW SALT SIGNAL
When the
DAYS TO EMPTY
drops to 15, the
blue indicator light and
DAYS TO EMPTY
in
the display will flash every second and the
alarm will beep every 30 seconds (from 8:00
AM to 8:00 PM), to notify the user that the unit
is running low on salt. As soon as any button
is pressed, the alarm will stop beeping. The
blue indicator light and
DAYS TO EMPTY
will
continue to flash. Once salt is added to the
brine tank and the
SALT LEVEL
is reset, the
DAYS TO EMPTY
will be reset.
ERROR SIGNALS
If there is an error code
detected, the blue
indicator light will flash
4 times every second,
the display will flash
Err
and the alarm will beep
every 30 seconds (from 8:00 AM to 8:00 PM)
to signal that the softener requires service.
The alarm can be turned off by pressing any
button, but the blue indicator light and display
will continue to flash.
Disconnect the transformer from the wall
outlet momentarily, and plug it back in. The
normal display will appear. The motor may run
for several minutes, as the unit resets. If the
problem is not corrected, the error code will
reappear in 8 minutes. If Err 6, 7, or 8 appears,
it can be cleared by pressing recharge for 5
seconds.
