system that is not running.

2.0 Description

The manifold is designed to be used with a controller as part of a chemical automation system, which
continuously monitors and maintains pH balance and sanitizer level in a swimming pool or spa.

3.0 Installation

1. Mount Manifold:
Pre-mark hole locations for manifold mounting screws using the manifold. The manifold should not be above
the controller unit or other equipment or electrical devices. Manifold holes will accept #10 screws.

2. Install pH and ORP Probes:
Note: standard probes have platinum tips. Special gold tipped probes are recommended for application with
Salt Chlorine Generators.

Probe ends should not dry out. They are packaged within a jar to keep the ends wetted during shipment and
storage. Remove the probes from wetting jars by unscrewing the jar cap. Remove the jar cap and grommet
from the probe. (Save for future probe storage.) Close left and right manifold valves, and open the center
manifold valve.

Remove nuts from probe fittings and slide onto probes, noting direction of nut thread.
Insert the pH probe into the right probe receptacle. Probe should slide freely through the fitting and into the
manifold until it bottoms out inside the manifold. Then rais e the probe about 1/8", hold in position and finger­tighten the nut onto the fitting. Use a wrench to tighten the cap about another 1/4 turn.

DO NOT OVER TIGHTEN.

Repeat the procedure for the ORP probe in the left probe fitting.
