During normal operation, the present time of
day and AM or PM 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.
Normal Operation, Control Displays
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 NOW
Press and hold the RECHARGE button until
RECHARGE NOW 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: Optional Recharge Controls
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 is 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.
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 Electronic Diagnostics
to further isolate the defect.
