Optional Control Settings
The controller display has several options and features.
LOW SALT ALARM
The LOW SALT ALARM, when enabled,
will sound the beeper when the DAYS
TO EMPTY value is 15 days or less. To
change this setting, press and hold the MODE button for
3 seconds. ON (factory default) or OFF will flash in the
display. Press the UP
or DOWN buttons to toggle
this feature ON or OFF. Press the MODE button to accept,
and the display will move to SALT EFFICIENCY.
SALT EFFICIENCY
When the SALT EFFICIENCY feature
is ON, the unit will operate at a salt
efficiency of at least 4000 grains of
hardness removed per pound of salt. This mode of
operation is the most efficient setting for salt usage,
because the system will tend to recharge more often,
with less salt usage. Turning the feature OFF will tend
to lengthen the time between recharge cycles, which will
provide the most efficient usage of water, but may use
more salt. The degree of difference between these
two cycles is highly dependent on the water usage and
hardness at a particular installation.
If you have very hard water, and you find your system
is regenerating every 1-2 days, turn the SALT EFFICIENCY
to OFF to lengthen the time between regenerations.
NOTE: California Regulations require this feature to be
ON for installations in California.
To change the setting, press the UP or DOWN
buttons to toggle the feature ON or OFF. Press the
MODE button to accept. The display will move to
SYSTEM/ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS.
SYSTEM/ELECTRONIC DIAGNOSTICS
This display contains system
diagnostics information to assist in
troubleshooting problems with the
system. See pages 15–18 for details.
Press the MODE button to return to
the normal run display.
LOST TIME SIGNAL
If time is lost on the display due to power interruption, the
blue indicator light will flash 4 times every second, until the
present time of day is entered.
LOW SALT SIGNAL
When the DAYS TO EMPTY drops to 15, the blue indicator
light and DAYS TO EMPTY in the display will flash every
second and the alarm will beep every 30 seconds (from
8:00 AM to 8:00 PM), to notify the user that the unit is
running low on salt. As soon as any button is pressed,
the alarm will stop beeping. The blue indicator light and
DAYS TO EMPTY will continue to flash. Once salt is added
to the brine tank and the SALT LEVEL is reset, the DAYS TO
EMPTY will be reset.
ERROR SIGNALS
If there is an error code detected, the
blue indicator light will flash 4 times
every second, the display will flash Err
and the alarm will beep every 30 seconds (from 8:00 AM
to 8:00 PM), to signal that the softener requires service.
The alarm can be turned off by pressing any button, but
the blue indicator light and display will continue to flash.
See page 16 for information to assist in troubleshooting
error codes. Once the problem is corrected, disconnect the
transformer from the wall outlet momentarily, and plug it
back in. The normal display will appear. The motor may
run for several minutes, as the unit resets. If the problem is
not corrected, the error code will reappear in 6 minutes.
BLUE INDICATOR LIGHT
Steady blue light indicates that the unit is working
correctly. The light flashes when the unit needs attention
from the user.
• Light flashes and DAYS TO EMPTY flashes—check salt level
and add salt as required.
• Light flashes and Err is in the display—electrical problem
with system—see page 16.
• Light will also flash when power to the unit has been
interrupted. Check the PRESENT TIME setting.
