Normal Operation, Control Displays

During normal operation, the present time of day and AM or PM and DAYS TO EMPTY show in the control display area. When the demand computer determines a recharge is needed, RECHARGE TONIGHT begins to flash in the display along with the present time. RECHARGE TONIGHT flashes until the next recharge start time, then changes to RECHARGE, which flashes until the recharge is over.

Feature: Optional Recharge Controls

Sometimes, a manually started recharge may be desired or needed. Two examples:

■You have used more water than usual (house guests, extra washing, etc.) and you may run out of soft water before the next recharge.

■The system ran out of salt.

Use one of the following features to start a recharge immediately, or at the next preset recharge start time.

RECHARGE TONIGHT

Touch (do not hold) the RECHARGE button. RECHARGE TONIGHT flashes in the control display area. A recharge will occur at the next preset recharge start time. If you decide to cancel this recharge, touch the same button once more.

RECHARGE

Press and hold the RECHARGE button until RECHARGE starts to flash in the control display area. The water softening system begins an immediate recharge and, when over in about two hours, you will have a new supply of soft water. Once started, you cannot cancel this recharge.

Feature: Memory

If electrical power to the water softening system is interrupted, the control display is blank, and the blue indicator light is off, but the control keeps correct time for about 6 hours. When power is restored, you have to reset the present time only if the display and blue indicator light are flashing. All other settings are maintained and never require resetting unless a change is desired.

If the time is flashing after a long power outage, the water softening system continues to work as it should to provide you with soft water. However, recharge may occur at the wrong time of day until you reset the control to the correct time

of day.

Feature/Service: Automatic Electronic Diagnostics

The control computer has a self-diagnostic function for the electrical system (except input power and water meter). The computer monitors the electronic components and circuits for correct operation. If a malfunction occurs,

an error code appears in the control display.

The chart on Error Codes shows the error codes that could appear and possible reasons for each code. See Manually Initiated Electronics Diagnostics to further isolate the defect.
