Position Switch Indicator (Open)
TURBINE OPERATION: If no water is flowing through
the softener, the turbine indicator displays three zeros.
When water is flowing, a 000 to 199 count repeats for
each gallon of water passing through the turbine. To
check for positive operation of the turbine if zeros are
shown, open a nearby soft water faucet and observe
the turbine count. If you don't get a reading in the dis-
play with faucet open, pull the sensor housing from the
valve outlet port (see Fig. 45). 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
inlet and outlet plumbing and check the turbine for
binding.
POSITION SWITCH STATUS: With the valve in service,
or any of the recharge cycle positions, the position
switch indicator will show the switch open. While the
valve is rotating from one position to another, the posi-
tion switch indicator will show the switch closed. There
is likely a problem if indications vary from this pattern.
