–000 to 141 (continual) shows water is flowing. Display repeats for each gallon of water passing through the meter. Control will beep at every gallon.
–If there is no reading in the display, with faucet open, check the sensor. Pull the sensor from the valve outlet port, and pass a small magnet in front of the sensor.
Counter should index in the display. If counter does not index, check to make sure harness is connected to board properly. If there is a reading in the display, there may be a problem associated with the turbine. Turn off water supply, close the bypass valve and disconnect bypass valve from body. Check turbine for binding or restriction due to debris. If this does not correct the problem, the Timer, Sensor or Turbine may require replacement.
