The chart below shows the error codes that could appear, and the possible defects for each code.

While an error code appears in the display, all face

plate buttons are inoperable except the SELECT but-

ton. SELECT remains operational so the service per-

son can make the MANUAL INITIATED ELEC-

TRONIC DIAGNOSTICS (below) to further isolate the defect, and check the water meter.

SHAFT

TURBINE OPERATION: If no water is flowing

through the softener, the turbine indicator displays

three zeros. When water is flowing, the flow bar scrolls across the display, and a 000 to 199 count re-

peats for each gallon of water passing through the

turbine. To check for positive operation of the tur- bine if zeros are shown, open a nearby soft water faucet and observe the turbine count and flow bar.

If you don't get a reading in the display, with faucet open, pull the sensor from the valve outlet port.

POSITION SWITCH STATUS: With the valve in ser- vice, or any of the recharge cycles, the switch indica- tor will show open -'_-. While the valve is rotating

from 1 position to another, the indicator will show the switch closed -"---.A defect is probable if indica- tions vary from this pattern.
