Error Codes

The Accusoft Plus microprocessor is equipped with an advanced error detection system. During all operat-
ing modes the softener's electronics are performing self-diagnostics to ensure that the unit is operating
correctly. There may be times, however, when something may occur that could cause the unit to improp-
erly operate. In those instances the microprocessor will identify the exact problem and alert the user with
an error code. Shown below is a description of the error codes.

To reset an error, press and hold for 10 seconds the status button. The unit will beep and check to see if
indeed the error has been fixed. If the error was not fixed, the board will re-display the error code. If the
error code does not reset please contact your local Culligan Dealer. For additional troubleshooting or
service needs, please contact your local Culligan Dealer.

When and how to bypass your water conditioner

Normally, all water except outside lines passes through the water conditioner. There are times when the
water conditioner should be bypassed, using the push-button Cul-Flo-Valv® Bypass, or a 3-way bypass
valve. You should bypass:
1. If lines to outside faucets do not bypass the water conditioner, and you do not want to waste soft
water on lawn sprinkling or other outside uses.
2. If you are going away on vacation and want to save salt by not having the unit recharge while you're
away.
PUSH-BUTTON BYPASS
In the back of Culligan water conditioners is a push-button Cul-Flo-Valv Bypass. To bypass unit, simply
push the red knob (marked "Push to Bypass") against the bypass valve body. To return to soft water serv-
ice, reverse the procedure - push the blue knob (marked "Push for Service") against the bypass valve body.
Mode of Detection
If the valve fails to reach the desired state
within 70 seconds of driving the motor.
The control will attempt to start the motor 3
times for 70 seconds each time with a 60
second off period between each attempt.
If the control detects changes in the
Cam inputs when the motor is not sup-
posed to be turning.
The control expects to be in a different
position than that indicated by the Cam
switch closures.
