WATER METER TURBINE: With soft water in use,
the turbine flow rate display continually repeats a
000 to 199 count for each gallon of water passing
through the turbine. The display will remain a
steady¼ 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.
VALVE POSITION INDICATORS: Depending on the
valve position, the following indicators show in
the display:
INDICATOR VALVE POSITION
Serv service
Fill fill
Brine brining/brine rinse
Bkwash backwash
Rinse fast rinse
When the valve is rotating from 1 cycle to another,
both indicators flash. For example, if the valve is in
transition between fill and brining, both Fill and
Brine flash. Upon reaching brining position, Fill
goes off and Brine is on steady. The time display
shows the minutes of the cycle remaining.
NOTE: If the face plate is left in a diagnostic display
(or a flashing display when setting times or
hardness), present time automatically returns if a
button is not pressed within 4 minutes. To return to
the diagnositc display, repeat step 2.

drive through several valve positions while
searching for service. If an error code occurs,
unplug the transformer, then plug in again.
