TROUBLESHOOTING
Most problems encountered when applying the AR/e control
are due to wiring errors, improperly set functions or faulty
transmitter connections. This section provides guidelines for
the detection and correction of these and other problems.
However, should the problem persist, contact our nearest
representative or the factory for further assistance.
SELF TEST PROCEDURE
1. Switch power off and on again. If the displays shows
anything but three eights, an error exists in the processor
and the unit has to be replaced.
2. If self test is satisfactory proceed to test the input switches
as follows:
a. Press the
hidden test switch
twice. At first the display
will show three fives then one eight.
b. Press all keys once in the following sequence: Signal
START (7) , Signal STOP (6), Signal Duration (5), UP/
DOWN (4), PRESET (3), Hidden Test Switch (2), least
significant digit (1), center digit (0), and most signifi-
cant digit (Batch Count). Each time a key is depressed
the appropriate number will be displayed. If one of the
numbers remain in display after the next key is de-
pressed, that particular input is defective.
■
START-UP CHECKLIST
1. Set DIP switch 1 for manual or automatic operation.
2. Set DIP switch 2 for proper lockout operation. (Set to "off"
position if not used.)
3. Set internal DIP switches (3 & 4) for meter size and
maximum batch size.
4. Install NiCad battery.
5. Program unit for batch size wanted.
6. Program unit for output signal duration wanted.
7. "Zero" the unit using UP/DOWN key.

FIELD REPLACEABLE PARTS
The following parts can be obtained locally. Brand names and
model numbers are for reference only.
Relay: Potter & Brumfield® T81H5D212-05 (or equal)
Fuse: Fusetron® slow blowing 1/10 amp MDL series
(or equal)
Battery: Eveready® CH22 7.2 volt NiCad rechargeable
battery
(Do not use non-rechargeable battery.)
If you find it necessary to send unit to factory, contact your
Badger representative or dealer for material return authori-
zation. Package the unit properly, and include a brief descrip-
tion of the problem.

The
START
and
STOP
command
keys have the same effect as the
equivalent remote functions (see
wiring section on page 4). The key
must be depressed twice in succes-
sion for the command to be recog-
nized and acted upon.
The
PRESET
key is used to set the
amount of water to be measured before
tank regeneration is required. The pre-
set value is a three digit variable number times a multiplier.
Depress the key and the display will show the present preset
batch value and the preset symbol. Use the digit keys to set the
new value. Depress the
PRESET
key again to enter the new
value in memory.
The
UP/DOWN
key is used to "zero" the
unit or change the present count to a
larger or smaller number in order to
avoid simultaneous regeneration in multi-tank systems. The
new number
will
affect the batch in progress.
• Depress the key and the display will show the present
batch count and the UP/DOWN symbol.
• Use the digit keys to change the count value.
• Depress the UP/DOWN key again to enter the new count
value in memory.
The
SIGNAL DURATION
key is used to
preset the time period for which the
output relay will remain energized at
the end of a batch, or when a START
command is received. The default value for signal duration is
5 seconds. This function is valid only if the control is set to
operate in the automatic mode. The duration can be pro-
grammed from 1 to 999 seconds.
• Depress the key and the display will show the present
signal duration period and the function's symbol.
• Use the digit keys to change the period.
• Depress the
SIGNAL DURATION
key again to enter the
new value in memory.
The
SELF TEST
key is used to run a self
test procedure in case of malfunction.
The procedure itself and the diagnostic
is explained in the Troubleshooting sec-
tion on this page.
