I got my board working again but my instant salt stayed at zero. All other settings looked normal. I independently tested salt level at 2800 which matched factory board set on the new board but instant salt remained at zero.
If you encounter this do the following:
1-Turn the percentage to 100%.
2-Slide the switch to off if it is currently in the Auto position.
3-Slide the switch back to Auto.
4-Wait for the generating light to come on then press the diagnostic button until you reach the large negative number. You have to do this as soon as you see the generating light come on, if you dilly dally the unit will shut down once the salt reads over 4000ppm. This is your instant salt reading. If it is over 4000 ppm you will need to drain some water out of the pool.
5-Slide the switch from Auto to Super Chlorinate then back to Auto once the system drops to your tested level (in my case 2800). This will reset the salt level to the new reading and allow the unit to make chlorine. If the level is above 4000ppm it will not make chlorine it will automatically stop the chlorine production and you will get a zero reading for the salt level.
