Low feed rates can cause the feeder to lag or feeding to be extended. A high feed rate
can result in too much pH chemical being added.

To verify the feed type (acid or base) adjust pH “set” level above the pH indicated on
display. The feed lamp should come on if the controller is in acid feed mode. If the
controller is in base feed, the feed lamp will come on if the pH indicated is below the pH
“set” level.

4.5 Reset

The controller can be reset to the default factory settings by using the steps below:

A. Press ‘Mode’ button to turn ‘Auto’ light off.
B. Hold ‘Mode’ button until ‘OFF’ is displayed.
Release ‘Mode’ button. Display should be blank.
C. Hold the ‘Set Level’ and ‘pH Calib’ buttons and then the press Mode button (all

three buttons held at same time).

D. The display will read ‘LD’ and then a number.
E. Release the buttons.
F. Turn the controller ‘off’ and then ‘on’.

Note: This last step is extremely important since this puts the controller back
in the operating mode. If step F is not performed, the controller is in the test
mode and it will not operate correctly.
