2. USER SAFETY OPERATIONS GUIDE
Look for this symbol throughout this manual. It means ‘BE
ALERT –YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED’. If you do not follow these
safety instructions, personal injury or property damage may
occur.
2.1. USER SAFETY GUIDE AC POWERED & SOLAR
POWERED SYSTEMS
2.1.1.Both the Mezzo-DB®and Quattro-DB®Transducers (that device which is
suspended in the body of water) are powered by a safe and isolated
low-voltage source. Notwithstanding the low-voltage source –the entire
electronics section is fully isolated from contacting the body of water.
The method by which algae is treated in the body of water is also not
reliant on conducting any electrical currents through the water.
2.1.2.Do not operate the AC Power Supply or Solar Power System if it has
received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged in any
manner. Refer to a qualified service agent.
2.1.3.A/C Power Supply and Solar Power System contain no serviceable parts.
If the power supply fails during its warranty period, contact your dealer
OEM Supplier or visit DPI’s website, www.DPIpower.com for information
concerning a warranty replacement or repair.
2.1.4.Before attempting any maintenance or cleaning, unplug AC Power
Supply from wall outlet or, for solar systems shut down the Solar Power
System Charger and Solar Junction Box Power via their power on/off
switches. For external cleaning use a clean damp towel. Clean solar
panels with water only.
2.1.5.Have your distributor, dealer or other qualified service agent, repair or
replace worn or damaged parts immediately. Repairs should not be
attempted by people who are not qualified.
2.1.6.Whenever removing AC Plug from the receptacle, pull from the Plug
Body; not from the cord.
2.1.7.Do not operate the AC Power Supply or Solar Power System or any
component attached to it if it is malfunctioning. Personal injury or
property damage could result.

Page 9
2.2. A/C POWER & UTILITY REQUIREMENTS
2.2.1.The use of an improper extension cord could result in a risk of a fire or
electric shock. If an extension cord must be used, it must be UL and/or
CSA approved. Locate all cords so that they will not be stepped on,
tripped over or otherwise subjected to damage or stress. Extension cord
must be properly wired and in good electrical condition, and large
enough for the AC rating of the Power Supply as specified in this TABLE:
RECOMMENDED MINIMUM AWG SIZE FOR
EXTENSION CORDS FOR AC POWER SUPPLY
Length of cord (feet): 25 50 100 150
AWG size of cord: 16 16 16 14
2.2.2.Refer to the Product ID Label affixed to the product and identify the
input requirements such as ‘120Vac, 60Hz, 2Amps’. Ensure that the
product will be connected to a matching utility power rating. For
example; if product is rated at 60Hz, do not connect to a 50Hz utility.
2.2.3.The rating of the input AC Cord, if replaced by a certified technician,
must not be less than 18Ga, 300V for 100Vac or 120Vac utilities and not
less than 18Ga, 300V for 230Vac or 240Vac utility power. Cord must be
hard usage SJT type or better, UL/CSA approved.
2.2.4.Do not connect product to AC receptacles that share power with any
other moderate to heavy loads such as air conditioners, motors and
other common appliances. Most appliances turn on/off at random and
cause power surges and power drops that can severely affect the
product connected to that same power circuit.
2.2.5.Inspect AC Receptacles for general wear, including loose or hanging
receptacles and be very aware of potentially worn contacts. If any heat
is felt in or around the receptacle while the AC Power Supply is
operating, this is an immediate indication of danger caused by a worn
receptacle.
2.2.6.If making an electrical connection to a receptacle located near the body
of water intended to be treated, install both the GFCI protected
receptacle and AC Power Supply in a covered weatherproof utility box or
container and secure the AC Power Supply using the Mounting
Hardware Kit –supplied.
IMPORTANT: SURGE SUPPRESSOR PROTECTION DEVICE
MUST BE USED.
A/C-Line surges are real and generated from nearby equipment and weather-related
phenomena and can cause NON-WARRANTY failure of the Power Supply. User must
supply and install a surge suppressor rated at 1000J or greater. These devices are
readily available from most any retail outlet.

5.4. POWER SUPPLY TO TRANSDUCER ELECTRICAL
CONNECTION
IMPORTANT!
To avoid non-warranty damage to connector pins, the Power Supply’s On/Off Power
Switch MUST be put into the ‘OFF’ position any time Transducer Power Cable is
being connected or disconnected. Do NOT TURN Power switch ‘ON’ until instructed
to do so.
PERFORM THIS PROCEDURE REGARDLESS OF WHICH POWER SUPPLY YOUR SYSTEM USES.
REFER TO FIGURE 5-5 FOR AC SUPPLY CONNECTIONS AND FIGURES 5-6 &5-7 FOR
SOLAR CONTROLLER DC POWER SUPPLY CONNECTIONS.
5.4.1. Review the figures depicting the SYSTEM WIRING DIAGRAMS. (Figure 5-
5 for AC Supply, Figures 5-6 & 5-7 for Solar/DC Supply.)
5.4.2. Open the dust cap on the “Sonic Head 1” connector and verify the
connector is filled with No-Ox grease. If no grease is present in the
connector, place a pea-sized spot of No-Ox grease (included with
Transducer kit) on the Transducer Power Cable’s small 4-pin connector.
Line up the tab and notch in “Sonic Head 1” port on Power Supply push
connector in and turn connector tabs Clockwise until the plug latches.
5.4.3. If your system is a Dual QUATTRO-DB®version, a second Transducer is
included with your system. Repeat the previous step with the second
Transducer by connecting its 4-Pin plug to the Battery Charger
Controller Connector Port labeled “Sonic Head 2”.
5.4.4. Ensure all connections are securely hand-tightened before continuing.
5.4.5. Place the Transducer/Float Assembly(s) in the predetermined location
of the body of water being treated. Attach the anchor to the D-Shackle
on the bottom of the transducer. Adjust the anchor rope or chain so the
anchor is laying on the bottom and there is some slack in the line to
allow for wave action.
5.4.6. With all connections now complete, move the Battery Disconnect
switch to the ‘ON’ position and turn the System Switch on the Junction
Box to the ‘ON’position. The Battery Charger Controller’s LED’s will
now become active. Refer to Section 6.7 detailing the Battery Charger
Controller’s operation for a description of LED status and error display.

5.5. ASSEMBLE SOLAR DC POWER SYSTEM
IF YOUR SYSTEM USES AN AC POWER SUPPLY –YOU MAY SKIP THIS SECTION.
The Instructions in this section are for both the 60w and 180w Solar/Power Battery
Backup Systems.
Some components of the solar panel system are heavy and/or awkward to handle.
This is not a job for one person. Always have at least one helper on hand for heavy
lifting or to assist in the event of an emergency!
Installing this equipment requires a user-supplied concrete pad, a ½-in. x 8-in. J-Bolt &
Nut, and (8) 3/8-in. X 3-in. Tapcon® concrete anchors. This system is designed to be
bolted to a concrete base that has been poured directly into the ground. Follow all
local zoning ordinances, building codes and regulations when constructing the
concrete base but it must have a minimum diameter of 14” and extend at least 36”
below ground level.
It is important the entire mounting surface of the concrete pad be level and flat. If you
are not practiced at working concrete –enlist the help of a contractor or professional
to ensure proper installation.
5.5.1. Insert the J-Bolt into the center of the wet concrete leaving 1-1/4in
(32mm) of the threads extending above the surface. Use a Screed Board or
similar process to make the top surface of the concrete flat and level all
the way around. Secure the J-Bolt in place until the concrete has
completely hardened.
5.5.2. Verify that concrete has been curing for at least as long as the
manufacturer recommends and that it has properly hardened per
instructions. DO NOT RUSH THIS STEP!
