Pentair Intellichlor works in Service mode, not in Auto

We just installed a new pool and I only have experience with old manual chemicals and equipment. Our new pool has a Pentair IntelliChlor IC40 SWG. The system is controlled by a Pentair EasyTouch panel. It was all installed by a pool installation company at the end of last summer and they programmed everything, but then it was winterized and I re-opened it all myself. When I have the panel in Service mode the chlorine generator works just fine and I can press the buttons to control how much chlorine it's generating. When I turn the system to Auto, the SWG doesn't seem to generate any chlorine. There are lights on that show that it's on, but the lights that indicate how much chlorine it's generating are always off and pressing the buttons on the unit does nothing.

I'm sure I just need to do something to turn it on through the EasyTouch panel, but I can't find it anywhere. I'd love any pointers anybody has.
Thanks!

You control your IC through the Easytouch. Do you have Screenlogic?

Did you really install an IC20 on a 23000 gallon pool?

Thanks, mknauss, so I just need to figure out what's set wrong in the EasyTouch panel.

I don't have Screenlogic, but I just looked it up and it looks like it would be really nice to have. Might be a future upgrade.

My apologies, It's an IC40, not and IC20. I corrected it in the original post.

(Your question about the IC20 made me wonder why you thought I have a 23000 gallon pool and then I saw it under my post. I have no idea how that equipment description got there, but it's not my pool. I'll go figure out how to change it in my profile.)
