6.3.5 Remote access from the local network or the
Internet
PoolManager's® graphical user interface is based entirely on the most
recent standard Internet (Web) technologies.
For that reason, it is also called a WebGUI:
• Web stands for Internet technologies
• GUI stands for graphical user interface
1 Web browser
The user interface is dis

server.
PoolManager's® WebGUi facilitates complete and entirely transparent
remote access from a local network (TCP/IP, Ethernet) or from the
Internet. Transparent remote access means that the user interface
looks exactly like it does on the PoolManager® and is operated
identically.
Certain restrictions in remote access are required only for security
reasons.
Remote access can be realised with any mobile device or PC that is
connected to PoolManager® via a network or the Internet and that runs
a standard browser. This prerequisite is fulfilled from the start by an
ever-growing number of modern systems.

7 Remote access
PoolManager® offers comprehensive and comfortable opportunities for
remote access from a local network or from the Internet.
7.1 Prerequisites
In order to make use of the opportunities, PoolManager® first has to be
connected with a network. Then remote access has to be configured.
The required steps are described in Part C and have to be performed
by an IT specialist.
There you will find all required information for remote access to
PoolManager®.
Additionally, remote access has to be released for one or multiple
users in user management. Username and password are assigned to
the corresponding users in doing so.
See User Management.
7.2 Remote access to the local network
For remote access from the local network, you generally require
PoolManager's® network (IP) address. That could be, for example,
192.168.1.99.
7.2.1 Step by step
1. For remote access from the local network, first start the browser
2. Enter PoolManager's® IP address into the browser's address
7.3 Remote access from the Internet
For remote access from the Internet, you generally need a URL. That
could be, for example, http:// myPoolManager.dtdns.net.

10.2.2 Redox value
The redox value of the pool water represents electric potential that can
be measured using a corresponding electrode (redox electrode).
It is the measurement of the water's oxidation potential, and therefore
of current disinfection effectiveness.
The redox value is a sum parameter that can be influenced by
numerous substances in the pool water.
Oxidizing substances (disinfectants) raise the redox value
• Hypochlorous acid HOCl for disinfection with active chlorine
• Hypobromous acid HOBr for disinfection with active bromine
Reducing substances (contaminants) lower the redox value
• Inorganic and organic contaminants
• Chloramine, oils, carbamide, sweat, germs, bacteria, algae,
Due to these numerous influences, it is generally not possible to
determine the chlorine/bromine level in the pool directly from the redox
value measured. It is, however, possible to set the desired
chlorine/bromine value in the pool and then to calculate the associated
redox value.

leaves,etc.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Determining the correct redox value
Widely different redox
Free chlorine measurement and the redox signal measured are not
directly dependent upon the level of free chlorine, but rather influenced
only by the hypochlorous acid, which influences disinfection. If,
however, the portion of hypochlorous acid changes due to a
fluctuating pH value, then that will necessarily lead to a fluctuating
redox value. Stable and reliable disinfection is then no longer possible.
The so-called dissociation curve shows the correlation between pH
value and the share of hypochlorous acid HOCl among all free
chlorine. At a pH of 6.5, ca. 95% of the free chlorine is present as
HOCl. At a pH of, however, that number is only 30%.
If control measurements are performed using the DPD method, then it
is important to know that the DPD measurement is always performed
at a pH value of ca. 6.2. That value is attained with an integrated pH
buffer in the DPD reagents. Thus, a DPD measurement measures all
free chlorine independently of the actual pH value in the pool.

pool separately.
The redox value yielded for the desired chlorine/bromine value is
configured as a setpoint in PoolManager®. The control system ensures
that the redox value remains consistently on level with the configured
value.
As long as there are no significant changes in other influential
variables, the consistent redox value simultaneously provides for a
constant chlorine/bromine level in the pool, thereby ensuring reliable
disinfection.
10.2.3 Correlation pH value and disinfection
INFO
This section applies for the models PoolManager®
and PoolManager® Br only.
The basic prerequisite for reliable and stable disinfection with chlorine
and bromine is a consistent and optimally configured pH value in the
pool.
There are two significant grounds for this:
For high pH values over 7.5, the portion of free chlorine present as
hypochlorous acid (HOCL) sinks dramatically. Since, however, only
hypochlorous acid is effective for disinfection, disinfection
effectiveness reduces in the same dimension. Sufficient disinfection is
no longer ensured.

For disinfection with active oxygen, an main dosage is performed
automatically once a week in order to initially raise the pool's oxygen
content to a high level, thereby yielding a strong disinfection effect.
Then additional interim dosages are performed throughout the course
of a week as needed in order to maintain the oxygen level
continuously over the requisite minimum value that ensures safe and
reliable disinfection.
The volumes for the main dosage and the interim dosages are
automatically adjusted to the average pool temperature in order to
compensate for heavier product attrition at higher temperatures. This
function is called temperature compensation.

example, a dosing output of 10% means that the dosage pump runs
10% of the available time within a dosage cycle, and stands still during
90% of the time.
Example:
• The dosage cycle is set to 60 s.
• The current dosing rate is 10%.
The pump's running time will then be 10% of 60s, i.e. 6s.
The pump's off time will then be 90% of 60s, i.e. 54s.

11.1 Function
Measurement and control for the pH value, free chlorine/bromine, and
for the redox value are set-up as identically as possible.
PoolManager® continuously measures the pH value and the current
redox value in the pool and compares the current measured values
with the desired levels, which are configured as setpoints.
PoolManager® PRO continuously measures the pH value and the
concentration of free chlorine/bromine in the pool and compares the
current measured values with the desired levels, which are configured
as setpoints.
If there is a deviation between the current measured value and the
setpoint, a so-called rule deviation, then PoolManager® activates the
corresponding dosage pump (or other dosage equipment) in order to
adjust quickly and precisely.
11.2 Dosage rate
The controller continuously calculates the optimal dosing output in the
current situation. The farther the current measured value is from the
setpoint, the higher the configured dosing rate is.
Dosing rate is indicated as a percentage [%]. A dosing rate of 100%
means that the dosage pump is running continuously. The absolute
dosing rate in l/h is yielded from the pump type used and/or the
dosage hose used.
For lower dosing rates, the controller periodically turns the dosage
pump on and off within a predefined dosage cycle (e.g. 60 s). For

A purely proportional control system generally has problems in actually

dosing output drops even further and approaches 0%.
In order to guarantee the setpoint is reached, a minimum dosing
output is configured that is maintained until the setpoint is actually
reached.

11.4.6 Intelligent dosing monitoring
If the current measured value deviates from the desired setpoint, then
PoolManager® will dose maintenance product into the pool water in
order to offset the deviation. In this case, it should be expected that
the measured value approaches the setpoint.
PoolManager® checks in the indicated intervals whether the setpoint is
actually approached as expected. Additionally, PoolManager®
assesses various criteria calculated based on a large number of
circumstances. If the setpoint matching criteria are met, then the
dosing output will be continued.
If those criteria are not met, then PoolManager® will report a dosage
alarm and block continued dosage. In this case, there is presumably
either a problem or the current settings are not appropriate for the
pool. In the event of a dosage alarm, the entire system should be
inspected for potential problems.
The dosage alarm and the dosage block are ended by pressing the
corresponding button to acknowledged the dosage alarm in the alarm
overview.
You can set the interval for dosage monitoring in [min] in the menu. At
the end of each interval, a test is executed on whether the setpoint is
being approached according to the criteria.

11.4.7 Dead zone
An activated dead zone ensures that dosage is not started for
minimum deviations from the setpoint, but rather only after the current
measured value departs from the dead zone. The dead zone is quasi
a tolerance range around the setpoint.
The following figure shows how the control system performs in the
dead zone using pH control as an example.

7 When approaching the setpoint, dosage will not stop when
entering the dead zone but rather upon reaching the setpoint.
INFO
Dead zone application
The standard setting for the dead
dead zone is not active.
It is particularly recommended to activate the dead
zone for biconstant triggering of the
dosage pumps.
11.4.8 Dosing cycle
The dosing cycle is a defined, fixed time interval in which the dosage
pumps are turned on and off depending on the current dosing output.
The sum of switch-on duration and switch-off duration is always
constant and corresponds to the dosing cycle.
A graphic presentation of the dosage cycle can be found in the section
dosing output above.

11.5.1 Basics
Sensible configuration of the proportional range and the minimum
dosing rate is largely dependent upon pool volume and dosage pump
output. In the end, what counts is the ratio between pool volume and
the pumps' dosing output.
The values used as the foundation for the default settings are:
• Assuming a typical pool volume of 40 m3
• dosing output on standard pump 1.5 l/h
• The assumed ration between pool volume in [m³] and dosing
output in [l/h] is therefore 40 to 1.5, i.e. ca. 27.
For a larger pool volume in relation to dosing output, the control
parameters generally have to be adjusted as follows:
• Smaller proportional range ( higher dosing output)
• Higher minimum dosing rate
Accordingly, for a smaller pool volume in relation to dosing output the
control parameters generally have to be adjusted as follows:
• Larger proportional range ( lower dosing output)
• Lower minimum dosing rate

12 Calibration (basic measurement comparison)
The basic prerequisite for exact and reliable measurement and control
is regular calibration of the measurement electrodes.
The electrodes convert the measured water parameters into an
electric measurement signal. The correlation between the value in the
pool and the electric measurement signal is not always the same and
may vary from electrode to electrode. Furthermore, it depends on
water quality and other general conditions that can change over the
course of time.
Calibration calculates the exact correlation between the measured
water parameter and the electric measurement signal. Precise
measurement can only be expected after calibration.
12.1 When is calibration necessary?
Calibration absolutely must be performed in the following situations:
• First start-up or return to service
• Water change
• Electrode replacement
• If there are relevant deviations between what the device displays
and the manually control measurements performed on a regular
basis
• After adding water supplements or after miscellaneous changes in
water quality
• In regular intervals, at least once a month

situations
12.2 pH calibration
There are various options for calibrating a pH electrode:
• 1-point calibration with buffer solution pH 7
• 2-point calibration with buffer solutions pH 7 and pH 9
(or other pairs, such as pH 6.80 and pH 4.65)
• 1-point calibration to the pool's pH value
(Determined with photometer or simple colour tester)
For 1-point calibration, the display value is moved one consistent
offset up or down. The electrode slope is not recalculated in 1-point
calibration. It remains unchanged.
In 2-point calibration, the electrode slope is recalculated in addition to
the offset.

4. The redox value shown corresponds to the previously configured
chlorine/bromine value in the pool. Thus, configure the redox

5. Redox control will then maintain the redox value at the configured

12.5 Determining the redox (mV) setpoint
Electrode calibration is not of decisive importance for redox control.
Correct determination of the redox setpoint is.
After all, redox control should provide a predefined chlorine/bromine
level. As long as water quality and other general conditions do not
change significantly, the redox value measured is directly dependent
upon the concentration of free chlorine/bromine. A change in
chlorine/bromine concentration always results in a change in the redox
potential measured. Conversely, this means that the chlorine/bromine
concentration remains constant if the control system is providing a
constant redox value. It counteracts a sinking redox value immediately
by dosing chlorine/bromine, thereby maintaining the redox value
consistently at the configured setpoint.

Automatic dosage O2 (BayroSoft)
13 Automatic dosage O2 (BayroSoft)
INFO
This section applies for the model
PoolManager® O2 only.
13.1 Basic concept
Adding the optimal volume of BayroSoft into the swimming pool water
is executed in multiple automatic dosages per week. The main dosage
is performed on a specific chosen weekday, which provides for a high
BayroSoft concentration and therefore for optimal disinfection. Then
additional interim dosages are performed throughout the course of a
week as needed in order to maintain the oxygen level continuously
over the requisite minimum value that ensures safe and reliable
disinfection.
The volumes for the main dosage and the interim dosages are
automatically adjusted to the average pool temperature in order to
compensate for heavier product attrition at higher temperatures. This
function is called temperature compensation.
The recommended setting for the basic dosage volume is 0.5 litres per
10m³ of pool volume.
13.1.1 Main dosage
The main dosage is performed on a specific weekday, the main
dosage day. The volume of BayroSoft dosed on that day is based on
the programmed basic dose volume. However, depending on the
water temperature measured, the actual dose amount may be
increased by a certain factor. This mechanism is called temperature
compensation. The dose amount is corrected such that the increasing
product consumption that occurs with increasing temperature is
compensated.
The factor used to increase the programmed dose amount is yielded in
the following table:
Average temperature value from the previous week
25°C 26°C 27°C 28°C 29°C 30°C 31°C 32°C >32°C
≤24°C
Factor 1.00 1.06 1.10 1.15 1.20 1.28 1.40 1.57 1.80 2.00
No temperature compensation is performed for water temperatures
under 24°C.
For water temperatures over 32°C, double the programmed dose
amount is added.
Example:
For a programmed dose amount of 2.0 litres and water temperature at
28°C:
Main dose amount = 2.0 litres x factor of 1.20 = 2.40 litres
The main dosage is performed on the programmed dosage weekday
at midnight.
If the flow signal is missing (e.g. due to circulation being turned off) or
if there is an alarm, then main dosage will be delayed. It will be
performed at the earliest point in time. It is not until the next main
dosage day that the previous main dosage is discarded if it could not
be performed up until that point.
The refresh dosage amount depends on the following factors:
• Programmed dose amount
• Average water temperature measured
(for the prior 1/3 week)
• Temperature compensation setting (off / normal / high)
When temperature compensation is turned off, no refresh dosages are
performed.
When temperature compensation is turned on, the refresh dosage
amount is yielded by multiplying the programmed dose amount by a
temperature-dependent factor:
Average temperature value from the prior 1/3 week
24-26°C 26-28°C 28-30°C > 30°C
≤ 24°C
Factor for normal
temperature
compensation
Factor for high
temperature
compensation
0 0.1 0.2 0.3 0.4
0 0.2 0.4 0.6 0.8
For temperatures under 24°C, refresh dosage is not performed
(factor = 0)
Example:
For a programmed dose amount of 2.0 litres and water temperature at
28°C, the "normal" temperature compensation setting is yielded.
• Refresh dose amount = 2.0 litres x factor of 0.2 = 0.4 litres
Thus, the "high" temperature compensation setting yields the
following:
• Refresh dose amount = 2.0 litres x factor of 0.4 = 0.8 litres
The 1st refresh dosage is performed two days after the programmed
dosage weekday at 8:00 a.m.
The 2nd refresh dosage is performed four days after the programmed
dosage weekday at 4:00 p.m.
If there is no flow signal (e.g. due to circulation being turned off) or if
there is an alarm, then the refresh dosages will be delayed. They will
definitely be performed at the earliest point in time.
It is not until the next main dosage day that a refresh dosage is
discarded if it could not be performed up until that point.
Example:
If the dosage day is set to "Friday," then the following times are
yielded:
Main dosage, Friday at midnight
1st refresh dosage, Sunday at 8:00 a.m.
2nd refresh dosage, Tuesday at 4:00 p.m.
13.1.2 Refresh dosages
Throughout the course of a week until the next main dosage, the
volume of effective BayroSoft in the water diminishes. Product
consumption increases with higher temperatures. To counteract this
and to always guarantee the optimum volume of BayroSoft in the
water, refresh dosage is performed at the one-third and two-third
points in the week (1/3 week = 56 hours = 2 days and 8 hours).

13.1.3 Progression of effective BayroSoft concentration
The following two figures schematically show the progression of the
effective BayroSoft concentration in the water over the course of a
week.
In the first example, the average water temperature is 24°C. Thus, the
two refresh dosages are omitted.
In the second example, the water temperature is 28°C. Therefore the
two refresh dosages provide an interim increase in the effective
BayroSoft concentration in the water.

16.1 Overview
PoolManager® continuously monitors all relevant data and operating
statuses in order to guarantee safe operation and optimum water
quality.
If PoolManager® discovers a problem while doing so, then it will
generate an alarm message notifying of the problem. Some alarm
statuses block product dosing until the alarm's cause has be
remediated.
PoolManager® monitors the following alarm statuses.
• Upper and Lower alarms (pH, mV, temperature)
are triggered when there is a measured value outside the
configured alarm thresholds.
• Flow alarm
is triggered when circulation is not running or if there is no
measurement water flow for some other reason.
• Level warning (pH, Cl, mV, O2)
is triggered when a canister with maintenance product (pH minus,
ChloriLiquid, or BayroSoft) contains only a certain residual amount
(e.g. 5 l).
The suction lance in the product canister delivers a corresponding
signal once the threshold is reached.
Level warning and level alarms can be deactivated in the menu
"Alarm settings" if there is no suitable low-level signal available.
• Level alarm (pH, Cl, mV, O2)
is triggered when a canister with maintenance product (pH minus,
ChloriLiquid, or BayroSoft) is empty.
Level warnings and level alarms can be deactivated in the menu
"Alarm settings" if there is no suitable low-level signal available.
• Intelligent dosing monitoring (pH, Cl, mV)
is triggered when PoolManager® does not successfully approach
the setpoint within a predefined time (typically 60 minutes). In this
case, PoolManager® will assume there is a potential problem and
block further dosing.
• Battery alarm
is triggered when the voltage on the buffer battery installed on the
PoolManager® unit drops below the threshold of 2.70V. In this
case, the battery should be replaced within a few weeks. The
buffer battery supplies PoolManager® real-time clock with voltage

Alarms are shown in the alarm overview as follows:
1 The alarm is active, i.e. the alarm cause has not yet been
remediated. But the alarm has already be acknowledged.
Therefore, the acknowledgement button is no longer displayed.
2 The alarm is active, i.e. the alarm cause has not yet been
remediated. The alarm has not yet been acknowledged.
Therefore, the acknowledgement button is displayed.
3 The alarm is no longer active, i.e. the alarm cause has been
remediated. That is why the alarm appears in brackets.
However, the alarm has not yet been acknowledged.
Therefore, the acknowledgement button is displayed.
If an alarm becomes inactive, i.e. the alarm cause has been
remediated, and the alarm has been acknowledged by the user, then it
will disappear completely from the alarm overview.
No acknowledgement button appears for the flow report if the setting
Alarm for missing flow signal is set to no, as no acknowledgement is
required in that case.
16.4.1 Alarm display in home view
All active alarms are displayed in the Home view; see section Home
view.
16.5 Dosage blocking via alarms
Alarms generally result in dosage blocking. The block is automatically
released as soon as the alarm cause has been remediated.
It is not necessary for a user to acknowledge an alarm in order to end
blocking (however, the alarm continues to be displayed in Alarm
overview until acknowledgement).
The following alarms are handled in deviation to that mechanism:
• If the setting Alarm for missing flow signal is set to yes, then
dosage blocking is not ended until a flow signal is present again
and the flow alarm has been acknowledged by the user. Dosage
will then be released after start delay has passed.
• If the setting Alarm for missing flow signal is set to no, then
dosage blocking is not ended once a flow signal is present again.
Dosage will then be released after start delay has passed.
• The menu Alarm settings can be used to establish whether a level
alarm will lead to dosage blocking. The default setting is that a
level alarm will block dosage of the respective control module
(pH, Cl, mV, O2).
• After a dosage alarm, dosage is released immediately after
manual acknowledgement of the alarm.

In general, calibration has to be performed onsite. That is why the default configuration blocks
remote access to calibration.
If needed, however, calibration can be released
for remote access if, for example, a mobile
device is going to be used on-site.
In general, manual dosing has to be performed
on-site. That is why the default setting blocks
remote access to the manual dosing. If needed,
however, calibration can be released for remote
access if, for example, a mobile device is going
to be used on-site.

21.6 User login with access code
Most parameter changes and access to some menus require
authentication with a certain user level. If authentication is required,
then the menu User login will appear automatically.
In this menu, first chose the user with the access code you would like
to use for login. Then enter the correct access code for the selected
user. If the access code entered is correct, then you'll be granted
access to the secure area.
• After successful login, the corresponding user level will remain
valid until you return to home view; or, after several minutes the
screen is returned to home view automatically.
• No new login is necessary for as long as the user level is still
valid. The menu User login will only appear again for accessing
functions requiring a higher user level.

27.1 Overview
PoolManager® offers the capacity to trigger a heating system.
The heating system is triggered via a simple relay switch output
(potential free or 230V~). The exact type and design of the heating
system is not important. There only needs to be a possibility to turn the
heating function on and off externally via a corresponding input.

27.3 Function
The desired temperature setpoint and a add-on switch hysteresis can
be configured as parameters.
The setpoint temperature should be configurable in a range between
10.0°C and 40.0°C.
Hysteresis ensures that heating control does not turn on and off for
marginal temperature changes, rather only when there is a certain
deviation from the setpoint.
Hysteresis is configurable in a range between 0.1°C and 5.0°C.
This temperature setpoint and the temperature hysteresis yield the
temperatures at which heating control turns on and off as follows:
Turn-on temperature Temperature setpoint minus half of hysteresis
Turn-off temperature Temperature setpoint plus half of hysteresis

33 Safety information for performing installation,
start-up, and maintenance work
Hazard from electrical current
PoolManager® begins to run as soon as there is
voltage on the incoming power line. It is possible that
dosage pumps start or that add-on functions are
turned on or toggled. Contact with current-carrying
components can lead to an electrical shock.
Potential consequence: Grave health hazard and
death, material damage
• Installation and maintenance work on the unit
must always be performed in a potential free
state.
• The unit must be secured against turning on
while performing work!
• Add-on component groups have to be
mounted/dismounted in a potential free state.
• Cables also have to be connected in a
potential-free state.
• There should always be safety equipment
present that is independent of the controller.
• Password protection must be activated as
needed.
• The country's local safety requirements must
be met.
• Immediately after completing work, all safety
and security equipment must be reinstalled and
rendered functional.
• Non-compliance with safety information can
lead to the unit becoming defective, to mortal
danger, and to warranty forfeit.
34 Wall mounting
The unit is not suitable for installation in areas
exposed to explosion hazards.
34.1 Selecting the installation location
• Level, flat surface.
• The free space surrounding the unit must be large enough for
trouble-free operation and maintenance. Covers must remain
removable. Be sure that the electrodes are freely accessible in
order to guarantee trouble-free handling.
• The control unit's casing opens to the left.
• The control unit's display should be approximately at eye level.
• At least 20-cm of clearance is needed underneath the unit for
installing hoses.
• No parts sensitive to moisture underneath the unit
• A damp room DC SCHUKO socket no more than 1.5 m away.
• All hoses and cables must be installed free from kinks and
abrasion.
• No hose line should be longer than 5 m.
• Hoses may not be run directly over pipes or systems that
transmit heat.
• Direct sunlight, thermal radiation, frost, and moisture must be
avoided.
• Ensure sufficient ventilation.
• No current-carrying lines, relays, electric motors, etc. in the near
vicinity.
• The installation location should be as close to measurement
water extraction and return as possible.
34.2 Installation
• The base plate can be used as a drill template by holding it on the
intended location and marking the drill holes on the wall.
• After the base plate is safely anchored to the wall, including
mounted controller and measuring sensory, the covers can be
inserted into the tongue and groove connection supplied.
35 Electrical connection
PoolManager® is designed and built according to the applicable
guidelines. Prior to leaving the factory, it was carefully inspected and
departed from the factory in a state free of technical issues.
Hazard-free operation is only possible when all information included in
this manual is observed.
The supply current for the unit may not exceed 240V/50 Hz. The
permissible operating temperature is 0 to 50°C, permissible air
humidity is 0-90%.
As is standard with all electrical connections, be sure that all plug
connections are secured against water.
35.1 Measurement grounding
There must be a ground for both measurement water extraction and
return. The ground connections have to be connected with a safe
ground in order to facilitate the conduction of potential in pool water.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
The ground MUST be installed. Ensure that this
ground functions without issues.
Please always make sure that there is no residual
current to the swimming pool's water. In cases of
doubt, we recommend having measurement taken
professionally.
35.2 Blocking the circulation pump
PoolManager® is equipped with a double pump lock, which offers the
highest level of security. That is why it has 2 separate power
connections, with one power connection directly to the controller and
the other connection supplying the dosage pump.
On the one hand, the flow switch in the measuring cell ensures that
the dosage pump is only turned on when there is sufficient water in the
measuring cell.
On the other hand, the dosage pumps are supplied with a separate
current from the power supply. That power feed absolutely must be
connected such that the dosage pumps are only supplied with power
when the circulation pump is running.
This guarantees that the dosage pump only runs when the pool water
is being run through the circulation system.

PoolManager® offers comprehensive and very comfortable
opportunities for remote access from a local network or from the
Internet.
In order to use these opportunities, PoolManager® has to be
connected to a TCP/IP network (TCP/IP is the transmission protocol
used on networks and the Internet).
In the PoolManager® terminal box, there is a standard Ethernet slot
(RJ45). A standard network cable (Cat5 or Cat6) can be plugged
into that slot.
The network cable is fed through a special large cable fitting into the
terminal box in order to maintain IP65 rating.
8. Press the rubber seal into the cable fitting.
44.1 Step by step
1. Turn off PoolManager® power supply.
2. Loosen the four screws on the terminal box cover and remove
it.
3. Loosen the large cable fitting on the far left.
4. Feed a standard network cable with an RJ45 plug into the
terminal box as shown in the following figures.
9. Screw the cable fitting tight again in order to obtain a reliable
seal.
10. Close the casing again. Tighten the screws on the terminal box
cover by hand in order to obtain a reliable seal.
11. Turn PoolManager® voltage supply on again.
5. Next, run the cable through the cable fitting's cover and through
the fitting itself.
6. Plug the cable into the RJ45 slot.
Be sure the plug connection locks securely

44.2 Options
44.2.1 Wireless network (WLAN / WiFi)
44.2.1.1 PoolManager® wireless connection
It is easy to integrate PoolManager® into an existing wireless network.
To do so, you'll need a wireless network adapter (also known as
WLAN adapter or WiFi adapter). These kinds of adapters can be found
for reasonable prices at specialised shops. One example of a current
model would be the Wireless Internet Adapter (WNCE2011) from the
manufacturer Netgear.
The adapter is connected with PoolManager® using a standard
network cable and establishes a transparent data connection from
PoolManager® to the existing wireless network.
The wireless adapter has to be configured in advance just one time so
that it can establish the connection to the desired wireless network
automatically. That basic configuration is usually done with the help of
a PC. Please refer to the documentation of the wireless adapter being
used for more details.
The following figure schematically shows a connection between
PoolManager® and a wireless network.

44.2.1.2 Access via a wireless network
If there is no wireless network present into which PoolManager® can
be integrated, then it is easy for you to set up a network in order to, for
example, access PoolManager® wirelessly using your mobile devices.
To do so, you need a standard network router with an integrated
wireless network (WLAN / WiFi). PoolManager® connects to the
network router via network cable, wireless adapter, or PowerLAN. PCs
and mobile devices can also connect with the network router via
network cable or wireless network, thereby acquiring remote access to
PoolManager®.
The network router has to be configured by an expert once upon being
used for the first time. Please refer to the documentation of the
network router being used for more details.
The following figure schematically shows the set-up for this kind of
network.
44.2.2 PowerLAN (dLAN)
PowerLAN technology (also called dLAN (direct LAN) or Powerline
Communication (PLC)) uses the building's 230V~ system for setting
up network connections. Data are transmitted using the existing power
lines.
With the corresponding PowerLAN adapters, which are available from
specialist shops, a network connection can be set up between two
normal wall plugs.
In many cases, PowerLAN technology represents an interesting option
for integrating PoolManager® into an existing network.

always be set up by an IT specialist.
To access PoolManager® from the Internet, you first have to integrate
it into your local network as described in the previous chapter Remote
access from the local network.
If the local network has a connection to the Internet, then remote
access to PoolManager® from the Internet can be set up. The local
network's Internet connection is generally realised via the network
router, e.g. via a DSL connection to an Internet service provider.
However, in order to facilitate remote access from the Internet, there
are several preparations to be made.
Initially, PoolManager® is not connected to the Internet. Rather, only
the network router is. The router has its own unique IP address on the
Internet. That IP address is not identical to the router's IP address on
the local network. Thus, the router has two different IP address, one
on the local network (such as 192.168.1.1) and one on the Internet
(such as 84.59.41.24).
By contrast, PoolManager® and other devices on the local network
possess only one local IP address. They do not have their own IP
address on the Internet.
The following figure schematically shows a local network with an
Internet connection via the router.

If your network router has a static IP address on the
Internet, then there is no need to set up a DynDNS
Remote access from the Internet
5 Router's IP address on the local network
6 Router's Internet connection
(with separate IP address on the Internet)
7 Internet (World Wide Web)
The network router receives its IP address on the Internet from the
Internet service provider. In most cases, this address is dynamic, i.e. it
can change at any time, such as due to a reboot of the Internet
connection. This is designated a dynamic IP address.
Internet services providers also issue static IP addresses, which do
remain the same. However, to do so, special service packages with
static IP addresses have to be booked. Most standard DSL packages
work with dynamic IP addresses.
46.1 Dynamic IP address resolution
For remote access to PoolManager® from the Internet, you'll need your
router's current IP address on the Internet. If a dynamic IP address is
being used, then it won't be known initially.
The DynDNS system (or DDNS (dynamic Domain Name System
entry)) resolves this problem. These are services on the Internet (Web
services) to which your router regularly transmits its current IP
address. The DynDNS service provides you with a URL (such as
http://myPoolManager.dyndns.org). When you call up that URL from a
browser, the DynDNS service automatically forwards the query to the
current IP address of your network router. In this manner, you have
access to your network router at all times, even if it is using a dynamic
IP address.
46.2 Step by step
INFO
Static IP address
service.
46.2.1 DynDNS account set-up
Select a DynDNS provider and set up an account. This is done via the
DynDNS provider's website.
In general, the following data have to be entered:
• Username
• Password
• E-mail address for confirming the account
• Host name
The host name determines the URL you use to access your
PoolManager®: It generally consists of two sections:
1. A freely selectable name, such as myPoolManager®
(the name selected has to be available still)
2. A fixed extension issued by the DynDNS provider, such as
dyndns.org, dtdns.net, no-ip.com,... Some providers have
various extensions available.
An example of a complete URL for remote access would then be:
http://myPoolManager.dtdns.net
DynDNS providers with free services include, for example, dtdns.net
or no-ip.com. For a detailed description on setting up a DynDNS
account, please refer to the documentation from the respective
provider.
46.2.2 DynDNS configuration on a network router
Now you'll have to activate the network router's DynDNS function. This
ensures that the router regularly transmits its current IP address to the
DynDNS service.
Most modern network routers support the DynDNS function. Should
your router not support this function, then we recommend replacing
the router.
The DynDNS function is generally configured by entering information
about your DynDNS account:
• Username
• Password
• Host name
The exact configuration procedure is heavily dependent upon the
router used. Generally, the router has either a Web interface for
configuration or a special configuration program.
You'll need the access data (username and password) for accessing
router configuration.
For a detailed description, please refer to the documentation for the
router being used.
46.2.3 Port forwarding on the network router
For remote access to PoolManager®, you'll still need to set up portforwarding on the network router. Port forwarding ensures that the
router forwards the respective queries from the Internet to
PoolManager®.
Remote access to PoolManager® is realised via the standard HTTP
port 80. The port accesses the data recipient, which in this case is
PoolManager® web server.
Therefore, port forwarding must be set up as follows:
• Port 80 forwarded to PoolManager® IP address on the local
network.
• If applicable, port 80 should be entered as the destination port.
Nearly all modern network routers offer the capacity to set up port
forwarding.
For a detailed description, please refer to the documentation for the
router being used.
46.3 Prerequisites and potential problems
Requirements for the web browser used
• Support for the current HTM5 standard
• JavaScript activated (it usually is)
Requirements for the network router
• Port forwarding
• DynDNS function
(Only when using a dynamic IP address)
• External access to port 80 may not be blocked
• The router must be configured such that it is permanently
connected to the Internet. If it is not connected, then remote
access will not be possible.
Requirements for the Internet Service Provider
• Contract terms and conditions may not prohibit operation of a web
server
• You need a public IP address, i.e. your network router's IP
address must be visible on the Internet. For some wireless
contracts (e.g. LTE without telephony), you are not issued a public
IP address. Operating a web server is not possible with that type
of contract. A public IP address is generally a dynamic IP address
that can change at any time. Unchangeable IP addresses are
designated as static or fixed.
• The Internet service provider has to permit access to port 80

46.4 Multiple PoolManagers® on one network
If there are multiple PoolManagers® running on one network, then
each device will be given its own IP address. Remote access from the
local network is realised via the corresponding IP address.
For remote access from the Internet, however, direct access of the
various IP addresses is not possible.
Instead, external access can be realised various ports, which the
router forwards to the individual devices' IP addresses.
Example:
PoolManager® 1
• IP address 192.168.1.88
• External access via port 80 (standard port), for example:
http://myPoolManager.dtdns.net
(standard port 80 does not have to be indicated in the URL)
• Port-forwarding on the router:
Port 80 192.168.1.88:80
PoolManager® 1
• IP address 192.168.1.99
• External access via Port 81, for example:
http://myPoolManager.dtdns.net:81
• Port-forwarding on the router:

access can lead to dangerous configurations.
Potential consequence: Death or the gravest
degree of injury, heavy material damage.
• Do not use trivial
usernames or passwords
• Handle usernames and especially
passwords strictly confidentially
• Restrict user rights for remote access according to
your individual security needs in
a sensible manner.
• Only release remote access for the user level
actually needed.
• Where possible, use remote access on the local
network only and secure it against unauthorised
access via the standard measures.
• Where possible, use additional security standards
for Internet remote access, e.g. VPN
(virtual private network)
47 Security for remote access
In order to guarantee maximum security, remote access is equipped
with comprehensive security mechanisms:
• Data transmission in remote access is encrypted
(SSL encryption)
• Login with username and password is required
• Supplemental access code necessary
in order to modify parameter settings
• The default setting is for remote access to be deactivated
• User rights for remote access can be configured individually
• It is possible to assign different rights for Internet access and for
access from the local network
When security requirements are particularly high, established IT
concepts can be applied, such as VPN (virtual private network).

48.5 Power supply 230V~
PoolManager® has three different branches for 230V~ supply:
• 230V~ supply for the PoolManager® unit
(L / N / PE, fuse F1 3.15AT)
• 230V~ supply for dosing outputs
(LF / NF / PE, fuse F2 2AT)
• 230V~ supply for alarm relay and supplement functions
(LF / NF / PE, fuse F2 2AT)
The following figure schematically shows the connections present on
the printed circuit board:
The supply for the PoolManager® unit as well as for the alarm relay
and the supplemental functions share a mutual power input (L/N).
Phase L for PoolManager® is run from the input over via fuse F1.
Phase LF for the alarm relay and the supplemental functions is run
from the input via fuse F3. Neutral conductors N and NF are
connected to each other internally.
Supply to the dosing outputs is run via a separate power input (LD /
ND). This input is fused via F2 and does not have an internal
connection to L / LF or N / NF.
HAZARD!
