Keep this manual with your water softener. If repairs are needed, the service technician must have

the information on the following 8 pages. For telephone assistance, call toll free, 1-800-426-9345.

ALWAYS MAKE THESE INITIAL CHECKS FIRST

_Does the time display show the correct time of

day?

--If display is blank check power source to the softener.

--If time is flashing, power was off for over 24

hours. The softener resumes normal operation

but regenerations occur at the wrong time.

--Ifan error code (Example: Err3) shows in the

faceplate display, go to AUTOMATIC ELEC-

TRONIC DIAGNOSTICS, page 5-2.

B Plumbing bypass valve(s) must be fully in ser-

vice position.

_The inlet and outlet pipes must connect to the

softener inlet and outlet respectively.

B Is the transformer plugged into a "live",

grounded wall outlet, and the power cable fas-

tened securely to the controller?

i The valve drain hose must be free of kinks and

sharp bends, and not elevated over 8 ft. above the floor.

l s there salt in the storage tank?

Is the brine tubing connected? Brine tubing con- nects to nozzle venturi and brine valve assembly.

Is the brine valve float set right? (See page 5-4). (See page 6-3, key #83)

Press the SELECT button two times to display

the hardness setting. Be sure it is the correct set-

ting for the household's water supply. (Make a

hardness test of the raw water and compare with

the hardness setting. Also test a soft water sam-

ple to verify if a problem exists.) Press the SE- LECT button twice more to return to present time in the display.

If you do not find the problem after making initial

checks, do the MANUAL INITIATED ELEC-

TRONIC DIAGNOSTICS, and the MANUAL AD-

VANCE REGENERATION CHECK.
