Feature/Service: Automatic Electronic Diagnostics
The control computer has a self-diagnostic
function for the electrical system (except input
power and water meter). The computer monitors
the electronic components and circuits for correct
operation. If a malfunction occurs, an error code
appears in the control display.
The chart on
Error Codes
shows the error
codes that could appear and possible reasons for
each code. While an error code is displayed, all
control buttons are inoperable except for the
SELECT
button.
SELECT
remains operational so the
service person can make the
Manually Initiated
Electronic Diagnostics
to further isolate the defect
and check the water meter.

Normal Operation, Control Displays
During normal operation, the present time of day and AM or PM show in the control display area. When
the demand computer determines a regeneration is needed,
RECHARGE TONIGHT
begins to flash in the
display along with the present time.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
flashes until the next regeneration
start time, then changes to
RECHARGE NOW,
which flashes until the regeneration is over.
Feature: Program Memory
If electrical power to the water softening system is
interrupted, the control display is blank, but the
control keeps correct time for about six hours.
When power is restored, you have to reset the
present time only if the display is flashing. All other
settings are maintained and never require resetting
unless a change is desired.
If the time is flashing after a long power outage, the
water softening system continues to work as it
should to provide you with soft water. However,
regenerations may occur at the wrong time of day
until you reset the control to the correct time of
day.
Feature: Optional Recharge Controls
Sometimes, a manually started regeneration
(recharge) may be desired or needed.
Two
examples:
■
You have used more water than usual (house
guests, extra washing, etc.) and you may run out
of soft water before the next regeneration.
■
You did not refill the storage tank with salt.
Use one of the following features to start a
regeneration immediately, or at the next preset
regeneration start time.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
Touch (do not hold) the
TOUCH or HOLD
button.
RECHARGE TONIGHT
flashes in the control display
area. A regeneration will occur at the next preset
regeneration start time. If you decide to cancel this
regeneration, touch the same button once more.
RECHARGE NOW
Press and
hold
the
TOUCH or HOLD
button until
RECHARGE NOW
starts to flash in the control
display area. The water softening system begins an
immediate regeneration and, when over in about
two hours, you will have a new supply of soft water.
Once started, you cannot cancel this regeneration.
Set Regeneration (Starting) Time
NOTE: RECHARGE TIME
and a flashing
2:00 AM
(factory default) should show in the display. This is
a good time for regeneration to start (over in about
2 hours) in most households because water is not
in use. HARD WATER is bypassed to house
faucets during regeneration. See the
Automatic
Hard Water Bypass During Regeneration
section.
Press the UP or DOWN button to set the
desired regeneration start time.
NOTE:
Each press of the buttons changes the time
by one hour. Holding the buttons in changes the
time twice each second.
Be sure to observe the AM or PM
as you
did when setting the time of day.
Press the
SELECT
button once more.
The display shows the present time of day and
RECHARGE TONIGHT
.
