around the inside opening and the mounting locations. If the water will not be coming thru
the wall into the back of the lter box, knock-outs have been provided to allow the water lines
to run thru the sides or bottom. NOTE: If running the water lines thru the knockouts, use the
appropriate protection (not provided) to keep the lines from getting cut.

OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS FOR THE FILTER MONITOR
1. The lter monitor backlight automatically turns on when there is water owing through it.
The blue backlight will turn off after approximately 10 seconds but will display the remaining
capacity the entire time water is owing. To conserve battery life, the display will automatically
turn off in 10 seconds when there is no water owing. The power of the two batteries could last
for approximately one year.
2. The ow meter will generates an audible alert and the digits on the LCD will blink red when the
remaining capacity reaches zero.
3. To reset, press the reset button for four seconds. The “RESET” on the LCD blinks twice and
the remaining capacity is reset to the original programming value.
4. When the battery power is low the monitor generates an audible alert and the empty battery
symbol on the upper right corner blinks. The alert status will be released when the batteries
are replaced with new one. NOTE: the data of the last status will be memorized when powered
off.
