ton until “000 - -” shows in the display.
MANUALLY INITIATED ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS
TURBINE OPERATION:
If no water is flowing through
the softener, the turbine indicator displays three zeros.
When water is flowing, a 000 to 199 count repeats for
each gallon (3.8 liters) of water passing through the tur-
bine. To check for positive operation of the turbine if
zeros are shown, open a nearby soft water faucet and
observe the turbine count. If you don’t get a reading in
the display with faucet open, pull the sensor housing
from the valve outlet port (see Fig. 34). Pass a small
magnet back and forth in front of the sensor. You
should get a reading in the display. If you get a read-
ing, unhook the inlet and outlet plumbing and check the
turbine for binding.
POSITION SWITCH STATUS:
With the valve in service,
or any of the recharge cycle positions, the position
switch indicator will show two dashes (switch open).
While the valve is rotating from one position to another,
the position switch indicator will show the letter “P”
(switch closed). There is likely a problem if indications
vary from this pattern.
OTHER INFORMATION:
While in the diagnostics
screen, the following information is available and may
be beneficial for various reasons. This information is
retained by the electronic controller from the first time
electrical power is applied to the unit.

UP button to display the num-
ber of days this controller has had electrical power
applied.

NOTE:
If the electronic controller is left in the diagnos-
tic display (or a flashing display when setting
times or hardness), the normal time of day dis-
play automatically returns if a button has not
been pressed for 4 minutes. To return to the
diagnostic display, repeat step 1, above.
RESETTING TO FACTORY DEFAULTS
To reset the electronic controller to its factory default
for all settings (time, hardness, etc.):
