INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

• The electrical connections at cell-level must not point upwards, to avoid any deposits of water or humidity on them.
• The pH corrector container must be installed a safe distance away from any electrical device or any other chemicals.
• Never use hydrochloric acid, its use may lead to irreversible damage to the device and void the warranty.
  Use only a pH corrector (acid or basic) recommended by your professional.

2.6.20. Boost mode
Boost mode :
– can be used when chlorine is urgently needed.
– sets the production setpoint up to 125 %, for a fixed period.
– can be manually stopped at any time.
Boost mode cannot replace a conventional shock treatment in cases of water not fit for bathing.

• It is impossible to start Boost mode if :
  – An alarm has been activated. (After having resolved and dismissed this alarm, wait a few moments in order to be
  able to activate the Boost mode.)
  – The operating mode of the electrolytic cell is set to “OFF”.
• If the Boost mode is restarted manually while it is already running, the Boost mode resets for the duration displayed.
• Boost mode continues after powering off the electronics unit.
• When the Boost mode is manually terminated or stopped, production continues according to the initial setpoint.

Operation with a cover sensor :

• It is impossible to start Boost mode when the cover is closed.
• If the cover closes with Boost mode activated, Boost mode stops instantly.

Menu	Possible settings	Default setting	Switching on	Switching off
Chlorination Boost	• 12 hrs • 24 hrs	24 hrs	Automatic, as soon as the selected setting is confirmed, with a delay of a few moments	Press on

2.6.21. pH probe calibration
→ The original pH probe is already calibrated. It is therefore not necessary to carry out calibration of the pH probe when putting the equipment into service for the first time.

However, it is imperative to carry out a calibration at the beginning of each season when returning to service, and after each probe replacement.

1. Open the pH 7 and pH 10 calibration solutions (use only single-use calibration solutions).
2.  Turn off the filtration (and therefore the electronics unit).
3. If the probe is already installed :
   a) Take the probe out of the measuring chamber, without disconnecting the probe.
   b) Close the housing of the probe in the measuring chamber using the cap provided for this purpose.
   If the probe is not already installed :
   Connect the probe to the electronics unit.
4. Turn on the electronics unit.
5. Go to the « » menu.
6. Navigate through the menus following the below instructions :

2.6.22. Activation/deactivation of pH regulation

• When wintering mode is activated, wintering mode is automatically switched on and off.
• When wintering mode is on, this is instantly displayed on the screen.
• Wintering mode cannot be manually stopped when it is running.

2.7.2. Alarms and alerts

* The corresponding alarm or alert is maintained while the detected fault remains in place, and the corresponding message reappears a few moments after dismissal.

2.7.3. Important precautions regarding the peristaltic pump
This chapter is applicable if the electronics unit is fitted with a cover hiding the peristaltic pump.
When one of the 2 messages below is displayed, the peristaltic pump is running. IN THIS CASE, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER OF THE ELECTRONICS UNIT COVERING THE PERISTALTIC PUMP.

→ If case of doubt about the correct functioning of the peristaltic pump :

1. Switch off the electronics unit.
2. Removethe cover of the electronics unit which covers the peristaltic pump.
3.  Remove the internal pipe from the peristaltic pump, without removing the semi-rigid pipes connected to it.
4. Check the condition of the peristaltic pump and internal pipes.
5. Turn on the electronics unit.
6.  Carry out a manual (vacuum) injection.
7. Check that the peristaltic pump is running correctly.
