2. GENERAL OVERVIEW
Congratulations on your recent purchase of your Talline™ Salt Water Chlorinator. Please take a
moment to read through the entire manual before installing your new unit. Your chlorinator
must be installed and operated as specified.
While every effort has been made to ensure that the information contained in this guide is accurate and
complete, no liability can be accepted for any errors or omissions. Crystal Aquatic Systems reserves the
right to change the specifications of the hardware and soware described herein at any time without
prior notice.
Please remember that your Talline™ Salt Water Chlorinator is not designed to chemically maintain your
pool water and keep it balanced, but rather to produce chlorine from a mild salt solution within the
water. We encourage regular water testing, balancing and correction if & when required to
maintain the recommended balanced levels of your pool water. This is a vital part of a complete
maintenance program and will ensure trouble free performance as well as a healthy and sparkling clean
pool.
The Talline range is a reverse polarity model known as TL, which is a reversing design and automatically
changes direction every 5 – 10hrs (depending on your seng). This change of polarity causes the calcium
to dislodge and keep the cell plates clean. Please note occasional cleaning of the electrode plates may be
necessary.
2.1 Recommendaons and Helpful Hints
• Read and keep your manual in a safe place.
• Increase chlorine producon when temperature goes up.
• Increase chlorine producon when number of swimmers increases.
• Use (Cyanuric Acid) Chlorine in Pool.Stabiliser to stabilise
• Decrease producon when temperature goes down – (during winter).
• Take pool water sample to your pool professional at least twice a month.

3. POOL PREPARATION
5
Before operating your Talline™ unit please read the following:
Handy Tips
•Check your salt levels with your local pool professional before installing your unit.
• 5 – 4 5Salt levels should ideally be 3 00 500ppm and no more than 000ppm.
•NEVER ADD SALT DIRECTLY TO THE SKIMMER BOX. This high concentraon of salt will
pass through your filtraon, pump and other pool equipment.
•Salt levels above 4000ppm may overload the unit and cause excessive heat.
•For all new pool installaons please seek advice from your pool builder before adding
salt as some new surfaces request no salt to be added when inially completed.
• The colder the water the lower your output but this does not mean you need more salt.
There will always be less chlorine demand in colder water.
• We recommend 3.5kg per 1000 litres (1 cubM) of pool water and a 50 000 litre (50 cubM)
new pool needs approximately 175kg of salt.
• The unit can operate on mineral/magnesium chloride salts and you should allow an extra
20 – 30% on the ppm for these type of salts.
• Salt should always be added to the shallow end of the pool and allowed to dissolve.
Do not let the salt sele on the floor of the pool as this may cause damage to the surface.
Use your pool brush to mix the salt into the water.
• Running the pump will mix the water and help the salt to dissolve.
• Only run the pump in the first 8 – 12 hours (ensure the cell is switched off) to allow the salt
to dissolve.
• If you press the + buon unl you reach the top LED (no. 8) then let go and wait for the
output to sele then if all 8 LEDs are on then there is enough salt if it does not reach the
top 8th LED then you either need salt or if the cell is old it may need replacing.

4. POWER PACK & CELL ELECTRODE INSTALLATION
6
4.1 Power Pack Installaon
•The Talline™ Power Pack has a Ingress Protection Range of IP23 enabling it to be installed
outdoors. Regulations require that the Power Pack shall be installed outside the pool zone.
• The Power Pack shall be installed according to AS/NZS 3000 wiring rules.
• The Power Pack should be installed in a well venlated posion ideally away from sunlight
and rain to prolong life and at least 1m above ground to prevent run off water entry.
• Ensure that the Power Pack is not stored near chemicals, ferlisers or in a closed
unvenlated shed with similar products as the fumes will cause excessive corrosion and
damage to the Power Pack and Control Board.
• When mounng the Power Pack on a post it is recommended to install a flat panel at least
the size of the Power Pack to act as a waterproof backing plate.
• Mount the Power Pack with the Green Plugs and Mounng Screws provided.
The Power Pack should be mounted no further than 1.5 metres from the Chlorinator Cell,
for ease of operaon of the controls on the Power Pack.
4.2 Cell Electrode Installaon
• Connect the Cell Housing horizontally in the return line to the pool (use reducing bushes
supplied if 40mm PVC pipe) using high pressure PVC glue. The Cell Housing can be mounted
vercally but provision must be made for a gas trap.
• Direcon of water flow though the Cell Housing is not crical although we do recommend
entry from the closed end of the Cell Housing and exit from the end closest to the Cell
Locking Ring. The reason is to cause less water hammer over me on the cell plates.
• Check that the O-ring is clean, greased with silicone grease (DO NOT use petroleum based
jelly) and securely located in the Cell Housing.
• Fit the Cell Electrode and ensure Cell Locking Ring is firmly ghtened by hand (DO NOT use
a tool to ghten).
• Connect the leads from the Cell Electrode to the Juncon Box under the Power Pack
ensuring the colours match that indicated on the Juncon Box (RED – closest to the front,
WHITE – in the middle and BLACK – closest to the rear).
• Plug the Power Pack 3 pin plug into a suitable weatherproof RCD protected 10amp outlet
and then plug the pump into the 3 pin AC Socket located at the boom of the Power Pack.

4. POWER PACK & CELL ELECTRODE INSTALLATION
Important Notes
•The pump rang must not exceed 8amps.
• Saltwater may damage Juncon Box and electrical components in the Power Pack.
•DO NOT use a drill to ghten Juncon Box screws – this may strip them – use a hand
held screw driver.
WARNING:
• We DO NOT recommend the use of valves on the inlet or outlet of the cell housing. If you
do use a valve then it is important to ensure that the valve cannot deadhead (lock closed)
while the pump is running. It is the installers responsibility to ensure some form of flow
control is installed in this instance and it disables the pump.
•ALWAYS ensure that pipe work and equipment do not allow gases generated from the cell
to collect and build up in any part of the installaon.
• It is RECOMMENDED that the Cell Housing be installed horizontally to create a natural gas
trap that acts as a safety device. Installaon in any other way may cause explosion, injury
or death if the installer does not allow for gas removal.
• The Cell Housing must be installed in the RETURN pipework to the pool. It must always be
installed aer the filter, gas heater, solar heang or heat pump.
•DO NOT apply priming fluid to the Cell Housing, it is not needed and may react with the
plasc.

5.1 Timer Switch
This switch posion determines whether the unit is manually turned on or automacally
controlled by the Timer.
•Auto Posion – the me clock controls the operang hours. See secon 6 for Timer Seng.
• Manual Posion – the unit is on and both the pump AC Socket and Cell will be powered up.
5.2 Cell Switch
This switch posion determines whether the Cell is turned on or off when power is supplied to
it from the above Timer Switch.
•OFF Posion – even if the Timer Switch is powered on there will sll be no power to the Cell.
•ON Posion – if Timer Switch is powered on then there will be power to the Cell.
•Changing Direcon – while the unit is running you can change direcon by turning off the
Cell Switch, wait 3 seconds then turn it on again. The direcon should change. If it does not
then repeat this again and it should change direcon.
5.3 Circuit Breaker
A Circuit Breaker is an automacally operated electrical switch designed to protect an electrical
circuit from damage caused by overcurrent, overload or short circuit. It can be reset by pressing
the buon in aer it has tripped. It may be damaged if you supply excessively high levels of salt
through the Cell.
5.4 AC Socket (Pump Outlet)
The AC Socket allows the pump to be electrically operated and controlled by the Power Pack.
WARNING: If you fail to control the pump this way then you must allow for a flow switch
mechanism to control the electrical supply to the Power Pack, so as to prevent gas build up if the
pump stops.
5.6 + and – Buons
Simply press the – Buon and the chlorine producon will automacally decrease by
approximately 15%. Press the + Buon and the chlorine producon will increase by
approximately 15%. When all green LED Output Lights are on this indicates 100% output.
5.7 Output LEDS’s
There are 8 Output LED’s on your Talline display. Each one of the LED’s indicate the
chlorine production output.
5.5 Juncon Box
The Juncon Box allows recfied DC voltage to be coupled to the Cell. This is where the Cell
cable is connected to the Power Pack.

5. POWER PACK OPERATION
5.8 Direcon LED
Above the timer is a Direction LED indicating the Cell Electrode direction at that particular
time. Solid Green indicates Forward and Flashing indicates Reverse. The reversing times
can be changed from 5 to 7.5 and 10 hours, please contact your local Crystal Aquatic
Systems agent for assistance.
5.9 Water Flow LED
A Water Flow sensor comes standard with your Talline unit. If flashing Red this indicates
insufficient flow of water in the cell housing or a fault. Contact your local Crystal Aquatic
Systems agent for assistance.
5.10 Salt Test
Salt Test allows you to check if the salt levels are correct, be pressing the + Buon and
holding it for 5 seconds. All 8 Output LED’s indicate salt levels are correct and if they do
not reach 8 then salt levels need to be checked or contact your local Crystal Aquatic
Systems agent for assistance.
5.11 Start Up Procedure
• Ensure 10amp wall outlet supply switch is turned "OFF".
• Cell Switch in the "OFF" posion.
•Timer Switch in the "MANUAL" posion.
•Turn the 10amp wall outlet supply switch "ON".
•The pump should start up and prime.
Allow the pump to run for 2 minutes and repair any leaks if needed• .
• Turn the Cell Switch to "ON" unl all 8 Green LED’s light up.
•Set the Timer to run 6 – 10 hours in the summer and 3 – 6 hours in the winter. Refer to sec. 6
Timer Seng for further details.•
•Now turn the Timer Switch to "AUTO" and leave it here to run automacally.
All Talline ™ Self Cleaning models are controlled by a Micro-Chip controller
that performs several funcons, including the change of current direcon and
water sensing.

6. TIMER SETTING
10
Your Talline™ unit comes with a simple to operate quartz mechanical Timer which has a built
in baery back up function.
This area of set up is crical and we recommend you take me to read it and understand why we
recommend certain sengs.
Obviously sunlight and higher bather loads in summer dissipate more chlorine than in winter.
That is why you need to check your chlorine reading regularly and adjust your sengs when
required.
It is recommended to run the unit for 2 periods every day (early morning and evening) when the
sun extracts the least amount of chlorine from the pool, giving it me to do its work.
Winter Sengs
In winter you should lower your running me by up to 50% of your summer seng depending on
your free chlorine levels. You should ideally run 2-3 hours in the morning and 2-3 hours in the
evening. This preserves and extends the life of your equipment.
Important Notes
The Timer Switch will override the Timer when it is in the Manual posion. For mer sengs to
control the unit the Timer Switch needs to be in the AUTO posion.
WARNING:
ALWAYS TURN THE CLOCK FACE CLOCKWISE NEVER ANTI – CLOCKWISE. You will strip plasc
gears and damage the Timer.
Summer Sengs
Ideally, run for 4 hours in the morning (6 – 10am) and 4 hours in the evening (4 – 8pm).
For a smaller pool you can run less hours. In extreme weather it may be necessary to run longer
hours.

6. TIMER SETTING
To adjust the me of the clock, simply hold the outside of the white segments and
turn the dial unl the clock reads the right me and the number near the mer
on/off arrow is close to the same number.
Your Timer is simple to use, easy to understand and a reliable well known design.
It has a baery back up funcon if you operate your pool equipment from a low
tariff supply that turns off at mes. It does require at least 12 hours charging at
first but simply leave it alone and it will charge itself as required.
This me is set at 8:00am and the dial pointer shows
the 8:00 posion as does the clock face hands
The Timer comes on where the pins that are pressed
out reach the White dial pointer (in this case it will
be from 6 – 10am and 4 – 8pm)
With White Lever in this posion Power Pack is OFF
With White Lever in this posion Power Pack is in
AUTOMATIC and the mer seng turns it ON/OFF
When White adjustable segment pins reach this
dial pointer (in AUTOMATIC posion)
the Power Pack turns: if pins pressed out ON
With White Lever in this posion power pack is ON
if pins pulled in OFF

7. WATER CHEMISTRY
12
The Talline™ unit is designed for use with swimming pool water balanced in accordance with the
Langelier Satura on Index with a pH range of 6.8 – 7.8.
As previously advised, for best performance and operation of your Talline™ unit, certain water
balances must be maintained within your swimming pool. Have your water tested regularly.
Transport the test water in an opaque container and have the test done as soon as possible for the
most accurate results. What follows is a list of recommended water chemistry levels.
7.1 Chlorine
Ideal Chlorine (Free Chlorine) Levels: 2 – 3ppm (2 – 3mg/L) and no more than 4ppm (4mg/L).
Adjust the chlorine output by pressing + Buon to increase and – Buon to decrease. Running the unit
for longer or shorter hours can achieve the same result.
Measurement Interval: Once a week
7.2 Salt
Ideal Salt Levels: 3500 – 4500ppm and no more than 5000ppm.
Although salt is not consumed by the Chlorinator, salt is lost during backwashing, pool overflow,
splashing and on bathers that use it. The correct salt level allows for the most efficient producon
levels and electricity consumpon.
The salt level SHOULD NOT go below 3000ppm. Operang the unit with too lile salt in the pool will
cause damage to your Cell.
Salt is the essential element by which your unit operates. Not enough salt means not enough
chlorine – this simple rule governs the total operation of your Talline™ unit, and insufficient salt will
damage your Cell.
The unit will operate with good stability on higher salt levels but it is sll advisable to run at the correct
level to prevent damage. Salt levels above 5000ppm may overload the unit and cause excessive heat.
Measurement Interval: Every 4 – 6 weeks
Important Notes
•NEVER ADD SALT DIRECTLY TO THE SKIMMER BOX. This high concentraon of salt will pass
through your filtraon, pump and other pool equipment.
•HANDY TIP 1: When all green LED Output Lights are on this indicates 100% output. DO NOT ADD
ANY MORE SALT.
•HANDY TIP 2: If the + Buon has been pressed to the top and all Green LED Output Lights do
not reach 8, then salt levels need to be checked or contact your local Crystal Aquatic
Systems agent for assistance.
• The colder the water the lower your output but this does not mean you need more salt. There
will always be less chlorine demand in colder water.
• We recommend 3.5kg per 1000 litres of pool water and a 50 000 lt new pool needs
approximately 175kg of salt.
• The unit can operate on mineral/magnesium chloride salts and you should allow an extra
20 – 30% on the ppm for these type of salts.
• Salt should always be added to the shallow end of the pool and allowed to dissolve. Do not let
the salt sele on the floor of the pool as this may cause damage to the surface. Use your pool
brush to mix the salt into the water.
• Running the pump will mix the water and help the salt to dissolve.
• Only run the pump in the first 8 – 12 hours (ensure the Cell is switched off) to allow the salt to
dissolve.
•Low salt levels (<1500ppm) will destroy the coang on the Cell and void the warranty.

7. WATER CHEMISTRY
13
7.4 Total Alkalinity
Measurement Interval: Every 4 – 6 weeks
Ideal Total Alkalinity Levels: • Concrete Pools: 80 – 150ppm
• Fibreglass/Vinyl Pools: 80 – 120ppm
Total Alkalinity should not be confused with pH, although the two are closely related. Total
Alkalinity determines the speed and ease of pH change, it is measured in ppm. You should
use a test kit which includes a test for Total Alkalinity. Low Total Alkalinity can cause unstable
pH levels. This causes an inability to keep the pH constant and may cause staining, etching
and corrosion of metals. High Total Alkalinity will cause constantly high pH levels.
• When Total Alkalinity is high you can add hydrochloric acid (a lile at a me) to lower the
Total Alkalinity.
• When Total Alkalinity is low you can add sodium bicarbonate ( ) to raise buffer/baking soda
the Total Alkalinity.
7.5 Calcium Hardness
Measurement Interval: Every 3 months
Ideal Calcium Hardness Levels: • Concrete Pools: 250 – 300ppm
• Fibreglass/Vinyl Pools: 150 – 190ppm
In addion to pH and Total Alkalinity, Calcium Hardness must be kept in balance so that your
pool water does not become too corrosive or end up scaling the surface of your pool. These
are symptoms of swimming pool water that is unbalanced.
7.6 Stabiliser
Measurement Interval: Every 4 – 6 weeks
Ideal Stabiliser Levels: 30 – 70ppm
The importance of pool Stabiliser cannot be over emphasised. It is essenal in helping retain
chlorine in your pool. Chlorine is rapidly dissipated by sunlight and the use of Stabiliser will reduce
this dissipaon dramacally. Without Stabiliser, it may be necessary to run the unit for longer
hours.
THE MOST IMPORTANT NOTICE AND WARNING
Only add chemical in the method and quanes as indicated on the packaging provided or advised
by your local pool professional. Also, if in doubt of any results you achieve then do not hesitate to
consult with your local pool professional.
7.3 pH
Ideal pH Levels: • Concrete Pools: 7.4 – 7.6
• Fibreglass/Vinyl Pools: 7.0 – 7.2
A pH of 8.0 makes your chlorine only about 26% efficient so that is why it is crical to keep
your pH in range.
A correct pH level must be maintained to prevent problems such as black spot, staining, cloudy
water, etc. An incorrect pH level can damage the surface finish and walls of your pool.
• When pH is high you can add hydrochloric acid to lower the pH.
• When pH is low you can add sodium carbonate (soda ash) to increase the pH.
Measurement Interval: Once a week

8. CHLORINATOR MAINTENANCE
14
Maintenance of your Talline™ Salt Water Chlorinator is simple and a saltwater chlorinator
has to be one of the most productive pieces of equipment on your swimming pool so it
requires some basic maintenance.
While water chemistry will always be the most important form of maintenance there are also
other hints and pointers to take note of.
•DO NOT cover the Power Pack with towels or similar. There are vents that could be closed
and these need air to keep the unit cool.
• To extend the life of your unit we always recommend installaon in an under cover area
away from the elements.
• Placing the unit in a closed shed or similar environment with chemicals, ferlisers and
other corrosives will damage the unit and could void your warranty.
• Keep the chlorinator off at all mes during backwash cleaning of your filter by turning the
Cell Switch to the OFF posion. Please remember to turn it on once done and return the
unit to AUTO mode.
• Check that the Power Pack Juncon Box screws are ght and cell leads are in sound
condion at least once a year.
8.1 Inspecng and Cleaning the Power Pack
Lile or no maintenance is normally required with the Talline™ Chlorinator Power Pack.
Ensure the Power Pack 3 pin plug plugs into a suitable weatherproof RCD protected 10amp
outlet. Ensure that the pump plugs into the 3 pin AC Socket located at the boom of the Power
Pack. Check all plugs and cords for damage. If damaged then it should be replaced by the
manufacturer, their agent or similar qualified person, in order to avoid a hazard.
If the chlorinator is to be hard wired, then a qualified electrician must complete the installaon.
The Talline™ Chlorinator Power Pack has small air vents to allow internal components to
remain cool in hot weather. The Talline™ Chlorinator has a special oil spray applied to the
inside of the unit during production to stop the insects from entering the unit. To help assist
in keeping the insects away, apply a surface spray periodically on the wall or post that the
unit is mounted on. DO NOT spray directly into the Power Pack and make sure the power is
off when you spray. Allow adequate time for the spray to dry before turning power on again.

8. CHLORINATOR MAINTENANCE
15
8.2. Inspecng and Cleaning the Cell Electrode
Reverse Polarity cells (TL models) should not normally require cleaning, however, in areas
with very hard water all calcium may not be removed. A calcium deposit might form on the
lower areas of the cell, the sensor or the sides of the cell plates. This will NOT affect the
operation of your chlorinator.
All salt chlorinator cells must be cleaned before scale/calcium builds up to the point where the
electrode gaps in the Cell are bridged. If the Cell has excessive calcium deposit, this may damage the
electrode coang, as the bridging causes rubbing on the plate coang and this will affect the
operaon.
Check the Cell frequently to prevent the accumulaon of pool debris that for any reason may have
by-passed the pool filter, parcularly aer backwashing.
Check that the O–ring is clean, greased with silicone grease (DO NOT use petroleum based jelly)
and securely located in the Cell Housing.
For cleaning, please follow these steps:
•Switch off the wall outlet switch as this ensures the pump and Talline™ unit will not turn
on.
• Unscrew the Cell Locking Ring and remove the electrode for inspecon. If calcium
build–up is present, immerse the electrode in cell cleaning soluon.
• A soluon can be made by mixing 1 part hydrochloric acid to 10 parts of water.
If excessive build up is present a stronger soluon may be used to remove the calcium.
Using 5 parts of water will make a more aggressive soluon but will not damage the Cell.
You can use Cell Cleaning Soluons and if you do then follow the instrucon supplied.
• Allow the cleaning soluon to dissolve the calcium deposits for 10 minutes. Dispose
of the cleaning soluon at an approved Council Depot and never into storm water or
sewage drains.
HANDY TIP: Returning this mix to your pool only returns the calcium you just removed, so
you may be beer off reusing the soluon unl exhausted then disposing of it. Always
store this soluon in a safe method as advised on the container.
• Do not scratch or bend the cell plates in the Cell Housing.
• Ensure that the O–ring is clean, greased and properly seated.
• Rinse the electrode in clean water and re–fit the electrode in the Cell Housing, ensuring
that the Cell Locking Ring is hand ght and secure.
• Turn on the wall outlet switch and the pump and chlorinator will return to the mode it was

no power
Wall outlet working but sll no power
Check that unit power cord goes into wall
outlet and outlet is turned on
Press Timer Switch to MANUAL
If you have checked all of the above then there
is an internal fault - call for service
Potenal Cause Remedy
Timer Switch in MANUAL sll no lights

If you suspect for any reason your Talline™ Chlorinator is not performing
or running as it should be, here are some handy troubleshooting tips that may assist you.
9.2 Not operang at all - some lights
When Timer Switch in MANUAL everything
works but nothing works in AUTO
Circuit Breaker stays out in a tripped state
1. Incorrect seng of Timer – see Timer Seng (sec. 6)
2. Faulty Timer – call for service
1. Press in Circuit Breaker on Power Pack
2. Make sure Cell Switch is ON
Faulty Circuit Breaker – call for service
1. Excessively high salt – check salt and lower it if needed
2. Short across Cell plates – remove Cell and check the
plates for any metal lying across plates
3. Faulty Recfiers, Transformer or Cell cable – call for
service
1. Try pressing the + Buon
2. If green LED's do not increase
3. Check Cell lead connecon at the Juncon Box, repair
if damaged or return for service
Ensure sufficient water flow through Chlorinator Cell
Check that the pump is on and running
Look for air pocket – perform backwash if needed
Check skimmer and pump baskets are clean and
securely ghtened
Check for sucon leaks
Seek advice from a pool professional for any of the above
Potenal Cause Remedy
Cell Switch ON but no LED output display
Circuit Breaker resets but trips again
When in MANUAL only the pump works
Water Flow LED flashing RED - low or no water flow
9.3 + Buon not fully pressed
Green Output LED's not at 100%
Low salt level
Press the + Buon Output should increase
Check salt level (sec. 7.2)
Calcium acts as an insulator and needs to be removed
See Cleaning of Cell Electrode (sec. 8.2)
Winter water temperature can be very low
For every 1°C below 28°C the output can drop 2-3%
Check water flow and ensure a full chamber of water is
passing over the Cell
You may need to backwash your filter
Damaged coang will reduce cell life and reduce output
If all condions are correct then Cell could be at the end
of its life
Cell may need cleaning (sec. 8.2) or the Cell may have
run its life in one direcon
Potenal Cause Remedy
Build up of calcium on the Cell plates
Water temperature is low
Insufficient water flow through the Cell
The Cell could be damaged or at the end of its life
Level low in one direcon but OK in the other

17
9.9 Low or No Chlorine Output
Unit not working correctly
Check Salt guide (sec. 7.2)
Check pH guide (sec. 7.3)
Check Stabiliser guide (sec. 7.6)

If melted then it will need replacing otherwise
ghten as required
Return for service if melted
Potenal Cause Remedy
9.5 Power Pack only works in one direcon
Faulty Recfiers, Transformer or PCB Return unit for service
Potenal Cause Remedy
9.7 Pool pump outlet not funconing properly or pump always on
Check that pump is plugged into the boom of the
Power Pack and not directly in to the wall outlet
Make sure you are set in AUTO mode and not
MANUAL for normal running
Potenal Cause Remedy
Pump not plugged into chlorinator
9.8 Cell not cleaning, excessive calcium build up on Cell or Power Pack not changing direcon
1. See Calcium Hardness test (sec. 7.5) and adjust
water accordingly
2. Change the Hard/So Switch to HARD (sec. 5.9)
3. Manually try reverse direcon (sec. 5.2 - Cell
Switch Changing Direcon). Failure for this to work
could indicate a faulty PCB - return for service
Potenal Cause Remedy
Excessively high calcium, change of direcon me
set too high or faulty PCB
Salt level is to low
pH is too high
Stabiliser is too low
Cell at the ends of its life
Unit not set correctly
9.10 Timer loses me when mains power removed
Baery life expired Replace Timer - return for service
Potenal Cause Remedy
