When the Morton Water Softener is connected to
electrical power, the status light on the control panel
will be on or flashing, as follows:
= Light on steady (not flashing) - The system has
power applied and does not require any attention.
= Light flashing rapidly, with “PRESENT TIME”
shown in the display and the clock flashing slowly -
The present time needs to be set, either during ini-
tial start up or after a long power outage. See “Set
Present Time of Day”, at right.
= Light flashing slowly, along with the salt level indi-
cators in the display - The salt monitor system indi-
cates a low salt level and needs to be set. See

play - The electronic self-diagnostics have detected
a problem. See “Troubleshooting” on Page 21.

play (See Fig. 17) - Four months have elapsed on
the system’s timer since start up or the last reset.
