From Terry's description, I thought the springs pushed the cups downward, with the chains/clutches pulling the cups up, toward the bleeders. I must have it backwards.

Thanks, Poolside.

I take it the LED leads don't go between the same pins used to reset the unit? Pin #4 and #6, in my case? I can find 12V easily enough in the diag plug.
