WATER METER TURBINE:
With soft water in use,
the turbine flow rate display continually repeats a
000 to 199 count for each gallon of water passing
through the turbine. The display will remain a

000 if soft water is not in use (open a
nearby soft water faucet to check).
If you don’t get a reading in the display, with
facuet open, pull the sensor from the valve outlet
port. Pass a small magnet back and forth in front of
the sensor. You should get a reading in the display.
If you get a reading, unhook the in and out
plumbing and check the turbine for binding.
VALVE POSITION INDICATORS:
Depending on the
valve position, the following indicators show in
the display:

When the valve is rotating from 1 cycle to another,
both indicators flash. For example, if the valve is in
transition between fill and brining, both

goes off and Brine is on steady. The time display
shows the minutes of the cycle remaining.

FACE PLATE REPLACEMENT:
BE SURE
THE VALVE IS IN SERVICE POSITION (OB-
SERVE VALVE CYCLE INDICATOR) WHEN
REPLACING THE FACE PLATE.
If, after installing and
programming the re-
placement face place,
the valve is not in ser-
vice position, do the fol-
lowing to assure correct
cycle orientation, or tim-
ing, between the face
plate and valve.
Use the MANUAL ADVANCE procedures,
page 23. With the RECHARGE NOW button,
advance through the recharge cycles until the
valve stops in service position, and RE-
CHARGE no longer flashes in the timer.
NOTE: The valve motor may automatically
drive through several valve positions while
searching for service. If an error code occurs,
unplug the transformer, then plug in again.
