Thanks for your input Keith, the thing was made in 04, I am in a rural area and we have had our share of outages etc.

could not agree more Bill those old school mentors were the best. The limit switch is a normally closed switch it is only opened as a pin on the cam wheel makes one rotation and contacts it. In auto it must bypass the open circuit and in manual pressing a button moves the pin past the switch's...

Thanks for sharing jraef, I did catch Bill's comment on turbines and did follow-up. The blinking of the led flow indicator did vary with the flow. I checked at low, medium, and higher, flow and the led varied accordingly and our normal water usage has not changed. I also removed the magetic...

Wow, nice ideas! funny that you mentioned the washing machine cycling that is exactly what i thought of when I started with this Controller. The motor is, 3 phase. 349 h.p. (just kidding), 12volt and 6watt but I forgot to get it's actual rpm when I had it apart but the gear train gets us a 1/2...

I myself have been around both the design and build and repair of systems for many years however, I...

Thanks again for your efforts Bill, I will download the manual as you suggested, and definitely check the indicater rate. All the Best; Joe V. Montgomery, N.Y.

Thanks for responding Mike, As far as why the unit failed in auto the answer may by your first suggestion. As for the Turbine I tested it first by waving a magnet past the pick-up to test the cable and the led flashed to indicate flow. later while I had the unit in manual regeneration I opened...

Good stuff thanks for your in put CR and Bill, Nice little unit (Autotrol,Series255/460i) From my observations the motor once bypassed (thanks Bill) does not stop again until the disc has made one rotation, about two hours, when the pin on the disc contacts the micro switch.The profiles of the...
