If the Cell is OFF and you wish to check its operation, simply turn the System Control to
MAX and the Cell will turn ON. Once checked, adjust the System Control back to the
desired position and after a few minutes the Cell will turn OFF again.
To turn the Cell OFF, simply turn the System Control to MIN. This will be convenient for
backwashing.
WARNING LED
Your Aquachlor Chlorinator is fitted with a number of protective systems including the
WARNING LED. As the salt level in the pool decreases, the wear on the Cell increases.
Although salt is not consumed in the Aquachlor process, it is lost through splashing,
back - washing and on bathers as they leave the pool. The salt level is also reduced by
rain, which causes dilution. Salt is not lost to evaporation. As the salt level in the pool
falls toward the minimum the WARNING LED will turn RED. At this point the salt level
should be increased by adding 25kg of salt per 25,000 litres of pool water. The addition
of salt should not affect the Aquachlor as it is protected against overloads. If no action
is taken and the salt level continues to fall damage to the system may result.
There are other factors that can cause the Unit not to work correctly:
1. Heavy Rain - can cause very dilute pool water to pass over the Cell due to surface
skimming.
2. Scaled Cell - a scaled Cell will not draw as much electrical current as a clean Cell
when first started.
3. Cold Water - cold pool water reduces the ability of a Cell to carry electrical current.
4. Failing Cell - as the Cell ages there will come a time when the electrical current draw
will drop. This can be compensated for with the addition of extra salt. A Cell is
considered failed when it draws less than 80 % of maximum current. To keep a
failing Cell in operation extra salt can be added. There will come a time when the Cell
will not respond to extra salt. It will then need to be replaced.
Please note that the WARNING LED is not like T.D.S. meters, which are temperature
compensated Scientific Instruments. The accuracy will be within 500ppm salinity and
it is water temperature dependent, just as the Cell is.
Automatic Time Clock Operation (optional)
If your Power Supply is fitted with an automatic time clock (optional) the operating
time(s) can be easily set by pushing the small pins forward or backwards to the
desired operating time(s). The unit comes pre-set for 8 hours operation per day.
MODELS WITH POOL LIGHT TRANSFORMER (optional):
Take off Cover Panel by removing the screws in the cover bottom. Insert the two wires
from your pool light into the Terminal Block provided. It does not matter which side of the
