LEDs Simple color-coded LED notifications display the usage status of the filter cartridge: GREEN 100%-10% of filter life remains Under 10% of filter life remains YELLOW End of filter life has been reached If there is flow, LEDs should alternately blink in the following pattern: 1-2-3-2 (repeat). The frequency that the LEDs blink corresponds to the flow rate received from the Monitor. For every revolution from the Monitor, the LED pattern should be incremented to turn off the next LED. If there are no revolutions for 2 seconds, all LEDs will turn on solid. If the batteries are low, the middle LED will turn WHITE. The battery level is checked once an hour to minimize the battery drain from checking the voltage. Reset Button The Reset Button allows for the Intelligent Monitor to be reset. ™ To reset the Intelligent Monitor , press and hold the Reset Button for 3 seconds. Once reset, the LEDs should ™ flash green 3 times to confirm reset. Power Monitoring and Battery Mode In addition to monitoring water usage, the Intelligent Monitor also monitors the System’s 12V DC power ™ and battery power. If there is a power failure and no batteries are installed, the Monitor’s value will be saved to non-volatile memory. When power is resumed, the gallon count will resume from where it left off when power was lost. If there is a power failure and batteries are installed, the Monitor goes into battery mode. During battery mode, the LEDs should shut off. If the Monitor is in the YELLOW or RED state, or if the battery voltage gets low, the LEDs will flash on in the appropriate color for .125 seconds every 4 seconds. If the Reset Button is pressed in battery mode, the LEDs will turn on for 4 seconds and then return to battery mode. waterchef.com...
