Intellichlor Ic40 issues after power loss?

We had a minute of power loss after some torrential rain this morning. I was out at the pad to lower my water level and I noticed my Intelichlor alternating blinking lights like I’ve never seen before (will try to attach video). Green Good blinks, then Red Salt blinks alternating every 1/4 second or so.
My screenlogic system reconnected easily enough, but the intellichlor is reading at zeroes across the board. It was reading (a wrong because of the cold) salt level early this morning before the power outage.

Any idea if this is just a hiccup because of the power loss and it’ll eventually bounce back? Or is this a warning that something worse happened?
 
The Salt LED's blinking is the sign the IC is booting up. It is reading the salt level (actually temperature and conductivity which it relates to salinity) during that time.

When the LED's stopped blinking, what lights were on?
 
RR,

As Marty points out... The IC40 will do that light blinking, kind of like at a railroad crossing, at power up and then every 12 hours after that ...It can take five minutes or so before everything comes back on line..

If it does not stop after about 10 minutes, I would reboot the entire system.

Thanks,

Jim R.
 
Appreciate the responses. Went back out to check and the lights were still “railroading” as Jim put it. Did a system reset via diagnostics on the EasyTouch system and have given it another 20-30 minutes. Lights are still doing the same thing and my Screenlogic system is reading 0ppm as the salt reading.
I can change the chlorine production level, and the lights on the unit change to correspond, but it is refusing to read the salt.

water is cold, it was reading low, but at least before it was reading so I felt confident when we started running the heater it would produce.
 
Not sure I would make any big changes until the water warms to well above 55F. My IC operates at 55F water temp and above.
