Power Loss
The AccuSoft
®
circuit board is equipped with a Hi-Cap Capacitor and EEPROM memory chip.
The capacitor is capable of maintaining the time, for at least two days, in the event of a power
outage. The EEPROM ensures that the individual programming parameters of your softener are
not lost.
If the power outage lasts long enough to drain the Hi-Cap Capacitor, the control will flash
“12:00 PM” when power is returned to the control. The unit will continue to keep time from the
moment power is restored, and will initiate a full regeneration at the preset regeneration time.
The time of day will need to be reset in order to return the regeneration to its preset time.
If you live in an area where power outages occur with a regular frequency, a battery backup
option is available for ensuring that the time of day is properly maintained. Contact your
Culligan Dealer for more information.
Meter Operation
For units equipped as a Soft-Minder
®
meter, the gallons remaining can be viewed by pressing the
STATUS button until the screen is blank. Press the “-” key. The display will blink “FLO” for 3
seconds and then display the gallons per minute flow rate. Press the “-” key. The display will
blink “GAL” for 3 seconds and then display the gallons remaining before regeneration (multiply
the displayed number by 10).
Regeneration
To initiate a regeneration at the preset time, press the “REGEN” button. The “REG” light will
light. To initiate an immediate regeneration, press and hold the “REGEN” button for at least
five seconds. The “REG” will light and blink. An immediate regeneration will also occur if a
power outage has lasted for more than four hours and the Immediate Regeneration option is
chosen. Ask your Culligan Dealer about this feature.
A regeneration at the Time of Regeneration will occur if so signaled by the Soft-Minder meter.
The “REG” enunciator on the display will also be lit.
Service
The Culligan Medallist Series
™
water softener is equipped with a self diagnostic program to
insure optimal operation of your water softener. Should service become necessary, a phone icon
will appear in the display. If this condition occurs, call your local Culligan Dealer for assistance.
The phone icon and error code will be the only items displayed when service is required on the
control.
