TURBINE OPERATION: If no water is flowing through the softener, the turbine indicator displays three zeros. When water is flowing, a 000 to 199 count repeats for each gallon of water passing through the turbine. To check for positive operation of the turbine if zeros are shown, open a nearby soft water faucet and observe the turbine count. If you don't get a reading in the dis- play with faucet open, pull the sensor housing from the valve outlet port (see Fig. 39). 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 inlet and outlet plumbing and check the turbine for binding.

POSITION SWITCH STATUS: With the valve in service, or any of the recharge cycle positions, the position switch indicator will show the switch open. While the valve is rotating from one position to another, the posi- tion switch indicator will show the switch closed. There is likely a problem if indications vary from this pattern.

OTHER INFORMATION: While in the diagnostics screen, the following information is available and may be beneficial for various reasons. This information is retained by the electronic controller from the first time electrical power is applied to the unit.

•Press and hold the /X UP button to display the num- ber of days this controller has had electrical power applied.

•Press and hold the V DOWN button to display the number of regenerations initiated by this controller since the model code number was entered.
