Since the Retail model is designed to
be plugged into a wall outlet rather
than wired to the load side of the filter
pump circuit, an added safety circuit,
which senses water flow (Pod), is
provided to insure water is flowing
before power is sent to the Cell.

CONTROLLER
JANDY L/M
Some controllers require different interface protocols. The Ei has 3 different modes
depending on which controller it will beconnected to. The default is set to Jandy L/M.
To change: turn the Ei OFF, then press and hold the OUTPUT button for ~6 seconds.
The controller setting will appear on the display. Continue holding the OUTPUT button
until the desired controllersetting is displayed on the screen. Release the OUTPUT
button. The Ei is now ready to be wired to the controller.
IMPORTANT: The comm link should not be made until the correct controller has been
set on the Ei
Default controller
is Jandy L/M.

Wiring to Controller
Depending on the make ofthe Controller, make thefollowing wiring
connections:
Polaris EOS/ Jandy Aqualink
Green wire (0V) to‘0V’ terminal onthe Ei
Red wire to the (+V) ‘POS’ terminal on the Ei
Yellow/White (B) wire to ‘B’ terminal on Ei
Black wire (A) to ‘A’ terminal on Ei
Pentair Intellitouch
GREEN wire to ‘B’ terminal on Ei
Red wire to ‘POS’ terminal on Ei
Yellow wire to ‘A’ terminal on Ei
Black wire to ‘0V’ terminal on Ei
Remove the white ‘cap’ covering the
‘comms hole’
Thread the communication wire through
thehole.
A grommet may be necessary depending
on the size of the cable being used
Cable tie
Terminal block
To reduce strain on the cable,
attach a cable tie to the
communication cable as shown.
Test the Connection
To insure the controller and Ei are communicating,
test the connection by;
1. Turning on power to the controllerand the Ei.
2. If communication is successful a ‘T’ will appear in
the upper right hand corner of the display screen
for approximately 20 seconds.
3. If the controller does not connect, turn off power to
both systems and try again.
4. If the controllerstill will not connect,recheck all
wiring connections and the controller setting on
the Ei.
.
Note: For safety reasons the Zodiac Ei reverts to the
OFF setting if the communication connection is
lost.

As a general guideline thepurer thesalt, the better the life and performance
of the chlorinator. Calcium and magnesium arethe enemies ofthe cell and
cause scaling, poor performance and shortenedanode life.
We donot recommend anything less than foodgrade salt with the following
characteristics:

As a stand alone chlorinator, the output is measured in 20% increments.
When interfaced with a controller the Ei will accept any increment but will
“round” the output light to the nearest 20%.
Example: 35% output will round up to 40% and illuminate 2 output lights,
even though the actual output is 35%
ON/OFF OUTPUT
To turn the Ei on, press the ON button. To increase the Output, press the
Output button.

CLEANING
The Ei reverses polarity every 5
hours of operating time.
When reversing polarity,
“CLEANING” is displayed.
The Ei powers down for 5 minutes
and the output lights drop to 1 amber
light. After reversing polarity, it
powers up to the previous output
setting.
The polarity of the Ei can be manually
reversed by pressing the ‘hidden’
REVERSE button under the Jandy
logo for ~4 seconds. The output at
the cell willturn off momentarily, the
polarity will reverse and the output
will turn back on.

(under the Jandy label) simultaneously.

“NO FLOW” is displayed when there is
insufficient or no water flow through
the cell. There is no chlorine
production at this time.
The minimum flow rate is 40 gpm.
It may also activate if the flow pod is
installed at more than 45° to the pipe
or if the flowswitch paddle has been
turned within the flow pod.

Check Salt Light
In Firmware V 2.00 the “Check
Salt” light will illuminate and the
LCD will read CHECK SALT for
a variety of conditions including
lowsalt, low water
temperature, low incoming
power or a worn or damaged
electrode.
• The ideal salt level is 4000 ppm and the ideal water temperature is
80º F.
• The CHECK SALT light will illuminate & the LCD will read “Check
Salt” if the water temp is below 65º, the salt level is below3000 ppm
or there is a combination of lower than ideal salt & lower than ideal
water temp. This is the same as a Clearwater LM chlorinator.
• A cell which is damaged ordying out can also activate the CHECK
SALT light.
• Once the CHECK SALT light is illuminated, the output lights will not
illuminate, even though the Ei will continue to attempt to produce
chlorine at the chosen output setting.
• The water maybe too cold or the salt level too low to achieve this
output but the Ei will continue to try to produce, even though no
output lights are illuminated.
Check Salt Light V 2.00

19
Check SaltLight V2.10
• In firmware V2.10 as the pool water temperature or salt level falls
the LCD will read “Check Salt or LowTemperature”.
• The “Check Salt” light will NOT illuminate until the water
temperature is near freezing AND the salt level falls to 3000 ppm or
less.
• The LCD message can occur at a variety of salt levels or water
temperatures - see the chart on the next slide.

Check Salt Light V2.10
• When this message is displayed, the output lights will continue to function and the Ei
will try to produce the required amount of chlorine.
• The water may become cold enough or the salt low enough that the Ei will not be able
to generate desired amount of chlorine.
Solutions
• Addsalt untiltheindicator turns off
– This may require higher salt levels than recommended in the product manual
– There is no high salt shut off on the Ei
• Heat the water until the indicatorturns off
– This may not be cost effective or practical
• Ignore the warning - the Ei will continue to run
– Freezing conditions or extremely low salt levels will shorten cell life
