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.

PROCEDURE FOR REMOVING ERROR CODE FROM FACEPLATE: 1. Unplug transformer from outlet 2. Correct
defect 3. Plug in transformer 4. Wait for 8 minutes. The error code wilt return if the defect was not corrected.

You will see one of the following displays. All of the
displays show what position the valve is in, if the
turbine is operating, and the position switch open or closed status.

WATER METER TURBINE: With soft water in use,
the turbine flow rate display continually repeats a 000 to 140 count for each gallon of water passing
through the turbine. The display will remain a
steady...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.
