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.
=
Press and hold the
r
UP button to display the num-
ber of days this controller has had electrical power
applied.
=
Press and hold the
s
DOWN button to display the
number of regenerations initiated by this controller
since the model code number was entered.
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.
TURBINE OPERATION:
If no water is flowing through
the softener, the turbine indicator displays three zeros.
When water is flowing, a 000 to 140 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. 40). 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 the switch open. While the
valve is rotating from one position to another, the posi-
tion switch indicator will show the switch closed. There
is likely a problem if indications vary from this pattern.
