INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR AQUACHLOR C and SC

INSTALLING THE POWER SUPPLY:

Select a convenient well-ventilated location within one metre of filter equipment and
mount the Power Supply vertically onto a post or wall 1.5 metres above ground level.
Australian Standards requires that the Power Supply shall not be located within 3 meters
of the pool water. Plug Power supply into a suitable weatherproof outlet and plug pump
into power outlet of the Power Supply Unit. The Unit must be kept away from acid and
other chemical storage areas. Acid and chemical vapours will corrode the electronics
inside the Unit. It must also be kept away from heat sources. Good ventilation is
necessary for correct operation (See diagram at bottom of page). Mount unit via
keyholes on back of Unit.

CONNECTING THE ELECTROLYTIC CELL TO THE POWER SUPPLY:

The Power Supply is fitted with a flexible lead terminated with connector’s. These must
be correctly fitted to the connections on the inside of the Cell Head. To prevent incorrect
connection the fittings have been colour coded. The Blue Flow Sensor should be pushed
onto the thread of the small bolt. The power outlet on the bottom of the Power Supply is
dedicated to the POOL PUMP ONLY. Do not use a double adaptor to connect more than
one pump - it can cause overload to the system and could void your warranty.
Important: The Cell must be installed so that the water flows through the Cell Housing
via the Cell head end in accordance with the arrow on the cell housing. This is to ensure
correct operation of the flow sensor. Refer page 9 for connection of pool light on
optional light transformer models.

PRE - START UP PROCEDURE:
Before operating your Aquachlor Chlorinator please ensure the following items have

been added to your pool:

• SALT - Load salt into the pool at a minimum rate of 40kg per 10,000 litres (0.4%).

Connect vacuum system and slowly vacuum until salt dispersal is complete. Place
vacuum head into deepest end of pool and allow vacuum to continue for a further 2 or 3
hours. Salt should now be completely mixed.

• CHLORINE - For a new pool installation that has not been chlorinated, add sufficient
Chlorine (liquid or granular) to achieve a reading of 3 ppm (with a suitable test kit), or run
the chlorinator system continuously for at least 24 hours or until a reading of 3 ppm is
reached.

• STABILISER - It is essential that pool stabiliser be added and maintained at the rate
of 30- 50 mg/l (30 - 50 ppm) at all times. Do not exceed 100 ppm.

(Refer Day to Day Operation pages 8-10 for further information).

OPERATION OF AQUACHLOR C (Standard) SYSTEM:
Cell Output is shown on a meter made up of a bar of five LEDs on the left-hand side of

the unit. Normal Cell operation is indicated by at least four LEDs being on. The Unit is
fitted with an electronic control and warning system. This regulates the output of the Unit
to the preset maximum. The warning system consists of an LED which will glow Green
or Red to indicate possible faults with the Unit or damaging operating conditions.

Once the salt level in the pool is correct the Unit may be switched On. The WARNING
LED will be Green and no Cell Output will be seen for approx. 30 seconds, this allows
the pump and filter to prime and the Cell Housing to fill with water. After this start - up
delay the bar meter should light up showing at least four LEDs. At this point the
WARNING LED should be Green; if not there is a problem. (Refer table).
