1. General information about the measuring equipment
Autodos M is an equipment intended for measurements and dosage of chemicals in swimming pools. The apparatus is equipped
with 1-3 channels (depending on model) to measure levels of chlorine (free chlorine and bound chlorine), redox and pH.
This manual covers all combinations. Please read the whole manual to get a full picture of how the system works and all its
setting possibilities.
Autodos M is delivered in two different parts: one measuring and control unit Autodos and one complete electrode kit.
• Autodos: include a measuring- and control unit, connectors, and this systems manual. The control unit is pre-
programmed with factory settings for each respective model, but individual changes are possible to make by the user.
It is also possible to enter different access codes to avoid accidental changes.
• Electrode kit: include electrodes (different electrode types depending on which measurements and results you wish to
present), calibration liquids, connectors for the electrodes, and manual for the electrodes.
Autodos M´s properties
• Measures and controls pH (base or acid dosage) and chlorine in the forms of redox, free chlorine and bound chlorine.
With regards to bound chlorine, the total level of chlorine is measured and the display shows the value for bound chlorine.
This is calculated by Total chlorine – Free chlorine = Bound chlorine.
• Autodos uses two point calibration for each measuring cannel to ensure optimal measurements.
• Has a separate galvanic part for each electrode entry point.
• Warns for uidity errors in the valve, dosage errors and measurement values outside preset boundaries.
• Continuously shows the pool water’s current pH-value, free chlorine, bound cholrine and redox in clear LED-displays.
By pressing different buttons, the displays can also be made to show other values, for example ow and temperature.
pH-regulator
pH adjustment can be used according to:
• Manuel off.
• Automatic regulation against set value as per:
a. On/off control*.
b. Pulse width control
c. Frequency control P, PD, PI or PID regulator 10–180 pulses/min.
d. Current output control P, PD, PI or PID regulator 4–20 or 0–20mA.
• Manuel dosing:
a. On/off control*: dosing relay pH always On.
b. Pulse width control: dosing relay always On.
c. Frequency control: maximum deection (10–180 pulses/min).
d. Current output control: maximum deection (20mA).
(CO2 dosing equipment requires on/off or pulse width control).
Control is programmed in conguration mode.
Acid dosing or alkali dosing On/Off is programmed in conguration mode.
Chlorine regulator
Free and combined chlorine works the same and can be used according to:
• Manuel off.
• Automatic regulation against set value:
a. On/off control*.
b. Pulse width control
c. Frequency control P, PD, PI or PID regulator 10–180 pulses/min.
d. Current output control P, PD, PI or PID regulator 4–20 or 0–20mA.
• Manuel chlorine dosing:
a. On/off control*: dosing relay chlorine always On.
b. Pulse width control: dosing relay always On.
c. Frequency control: maximum deection (10–180 pulses/min).
d. Current output control: maximum deection (20mA).
Control is programmed in conguration mode.
1–3 current outputs (free chlorine, redox, combined chlorine and pH) 0–20 mA or 4–20 mA are programmed in conguration
mode (individually for each channel). Current outputs normally follow the measurement value, but can also be congured so that
the control value is followed thereby allowing current output control.

Separate high and low alarms (limits can be set) are indicated via ashing alarm LED(s) and a common alarm relay.
The alarm is shown as “Lo” or “Hi” on display 1–3 while the Reset button [15] is held depressed.
pH value outside of limit values stops chlorine dosing. This is indicated by a ashing AUTO LED on the chlorine channels and
the alarm text “PHF”. Chlorine dosing is stopped until the pH value has returned to a permitted value.
Flow alarm (PNP potential-free connector/turbine sensor that can be deactivated in conguration mode) is indicated via alarm
LED and alarm relay in alarm mode. The registered alarm is also shown as “FLo” on display 1–3 while the Reset button [15] is
held depressed. There is no automatic dosing during stop in ow.
All alarms have a 5-second delay, except for ow alarm, high alarm and low alarm. For the high and low alarms, delay can be
set (in Setup) between 5 and 600 seconds. The ow alarm delay can be set (in Setup) between 0 and 30 minutes.
Alarm for dosing error can be selected in conguration mode (time in minutes > 0).
Dosing error is indicated (if dosing time is selected in conguration mode) via ashing alarm LED(s) and a common alarm relay.
The alarm is shown as “doS” on display 1–3 while the Reset button [15] is held depressed.
Dosing is stopped until the alarm is reset. The dosing time counter is always zeroed with a reset.
A dosing error alarm is generated in the following conditions
• On/Off dosing, Pulse width dosing, Frequency dosing, Control output-controlled dosing :
An alarm is triggered if dosing is continual for a longer time than the specied max. time in minutes (1-60 as specied in con-
guration mode). An alarm is also triggered if manual dosing is too long.

6. Safety
To prevent direct contact between the chemicals, separate the chlorine dosing point and the acid/alkali dosing point with at least
500 mm, always ACID BEFORE CHLORINE, refering to the installation example on pages 8–9.
Lock the dosing pumps to the circulation pump using the motor guard or the ow switch.
For best results, use a photometer during calibration.
Proper installation and care is required to prevent invalidation of the warranty.
“Persons (including children) with limited physical or mental capabilities must not use the device without instructions on how to
use it in a safe manner,” as per IEC 60335-1.
7. Installation
General
The system can be installed at any time point without consideration to the life span of the electrodes as these are delivered
separately and can even be delivered at a later point in time.
Install Autodos M at a dry and vibration-free location, against rm, at support and accessible for support and reading.
The display must be well visible and the buttons easily accessible.
The ow cell should be positioned as close to the monitoring point as possible to prevent unnecessarily long response times.
Note the direction of ow.
Check that the electrode kit complies to your Autodos M unit, see point 2 page 12.
If the position of the Autodos puts it at risk of freezing, the ow cell modules must be emptied of all water and the electrodes
must be stored frost-free standing in water (save the electrode packaging for this purpose).
Note! When installing Autodos M with free chlorine electrode in pools where organic chlorine was previously used,
all water must be drained and replaced with new water.This because the cyanuric acid content in the pool water from orga-
nic chlorine (Trichlor or Dichlor) produces a signicantly higher chlorine value in a DPD no. 1 test. This makes correct calibration
impossible.
Installation, pipes
The outlet from the ow cell should be kept free from pressure, e.g. by leading outlet water to an equalization tank or a drain.
For installations in which the ow cell outlet cannot be routed without pressure to a drain or equalization tank, the measurement
water should be sampled after the lter and the return of the pump suction line.
Connections only need to be tightened by hand.
Monitoring and dosing points are most easily made with saddle clamps.
In order to prevent air from being mixed in with the measurement water (which could affect the measurement value), the
measurement connection on the pipes should not sit at the highest point.

3. Install the electrodes and the installation kit with connector details in the corresponding measuring cell in the valve, see
page 6. An instruction showing how the details of the installation kit shall be connected is included in each respective kit.
NOTE! The electrodes can not be dry or be exposed to frost or quick temperature changes. For more information about the
electrodes, please see the instruction “Handling and care of electrodes” which is enclosed with the electrode kit.
4. Connect the electrode connectors for the water ow for measurements and check that water ows through the valve.
5. Open the faucets for the water ow for measurements and check that water ows through the valve.
6. Turn on the voltage to Autodos M. After a startup time of 60 seconds, the values are shown in each respective channel/dis-
play, see section 9: Operation, page 13.
7. Basic settings, electrodes.
Autodos M has preset factory settings for all types of electrodes that normally corresponds to the electrode combination in
the supplied electrode kit. To check/change electrode type, see further under Systems conguration, pages 21-26.
8. Basic settings, dosage type.
Autodos M can control the dosage equipment either via on/off- frequency- , pulse width- or current control. Which to choose
depends on what dosage product that shall be connected. To check or change dosage type, see further for the specic mod-
els under Electrode specic conguration, pages 26-29.
9. Adjust the ow of water for measurement to 30-40 liters/hour with the adjustment screw on the start module. Press the
button ↑ Flow [9] and keep pushing and the current ow is shown in the right display.
10. Calibrate electrodes, see section 10: Calibration, pages 30-32.
11. Let Autodos M run without dosage for around one hour with correct ow of water after the calibration have been done. This is
because the electrodes need to adjust to the measuring water in order for the signals to be stable. Read more under section
9: Handling/choice of dosage, page 15. Normal operating mode: diode “Auto” is lit.
12. Dosage times and response times depends solely on pool volume, turnaround ratio, dosage type, and dosage ratio.
Concentrations of chemicals and dosage products also affects. See section 9: Handling/Settings recommended values,
pages 17-18.
13. Alarm; diodes with ashing lights show active or retset alarms. Pushing the button Reset [15] will shows the type of alarm.
Diodes with a steady red light are acknowledged/active alarms, see section 9: Handling/Alarm diodes, page 20.
If diode “Auto” ashes on the chlorine/redox channel, the pH-value is outside the alarm limits and no dosage is done until
the pH-value is restored within given limits.

Displays
Depending on the Autodos M model variant, the values of free chlorine, combined chlorine and/or redox and pH are indecated in
one, two or three separate displays (each with three digits).
The displays can also show simple text messages; see the chapter Text display on page 16.
In some displays different values can be shown in the same eld but then requires certain keystrokes, see page 14.
Under he actual display arrows and explanatory text are found. The position of the decimal point in the display conrms which
type of value is indicated.
The display to the far right can also be used to show ow and temperature.
The displays displays parameters within the following limits:
Free chlorine: –.99–9.99 mg/l (ppm)
Combined chlorine: –.99–9.99 mg/l (ppm)
pH: 4.00–11.0
Redox –99.–999. mV
Temperature: 10 – 40°C
Buttons
Each button has a unique number in the top right-hand corner. In this manual, reference is made to this number with [ ] and the
buttons text reference with bold style e.g. Reset [15].
Further on in this chapter we describe how and what buttons to press in which modes.

Authorization
To avoid unintentional changes to settings and unauthorized use, two authorization codes can be set, see below.
NOTE! Autodos M has no authorization code set when delivered. When necessary this must be activated.
Authorization Explanation
Normal mode No settings can be altered; only Reset is possible
Authorization code 1 Set values, alarm limits and control parameters can be changed. Calibration is also possible.
Authorization code 2 All available changes, including system conguration, are possible.
Activate authorization
If no codes are set, authorization level 2 is accessed automatically when the Code button [10] is pressed. The display then
shows “Cd2”.If authorization code is required “Cd–” is showing.
When the Code button [10] is held depressed, the opening code can be entered using the buttons indicated below:
Autodos M3: Buttons 0–9
Autodos M2: Buttons 0 and 4–9
Autodos M1: Buttons 0 and 7–9
If the entered code is the same as opening code 1 you access authorization level 1 and if the entered code is the same as open-
ing code 2 you access authorization level 2 when the Code button [10] is released. This is indicated via the “Code” LED being
illuminated for authorization level 1 and ashing for authorization level 2..
Set/select authorization code
The opening code can only be changed in authorization level 2. If you forgot the code for authorization level 2, it can be dis-
played by pressing Code [10] during the start-up sequence (after the countdown of seconds has begun).
Enter the opening code (for authorization level 1 or level 2):
1. Access authorization level 2.with the button Code [10], diode “Code” ashes.
2. Enter calibration mode, with the button Cal [0], diode “Active” light steadily.
3. Hold the button Code [10] depressed and enter the opening code with buttons [0] – [9]. Reset [15] is used to clear the display
and enter up to six digits for the code. The display shows “Cd1” when the button Code [10] is pressed the rst time. “Cd2” is
shown the next time the button is pressed. The display then switches back and forth each time the button is pressed. The text
indicates which code (for authorization level 1 or 2) should be entered.

Adjusting set value – General
Set values etc. that have been set are saved in EEPROM approx. 10 seconds after they are entered. The values are saved
alternatingly in two separate memory areas to avoid errors due to loss of power during the saving phase.
Adjusting set value – Chlorine regulation (free chlorine)
Set value adjustment for free chlorine regulation is carried out by pressing and holding the Set value button [13].
The selected chlorine set value is then shown in the display.
To change the set value, press and hold the button while pressing ↑ or ↓ under the display. Pressing and holding an
arrow button for about one second triggers a “fast forward” function until the button is released.

Dosing range indicates the interval within which dosing is steplessly changed (pband) between 0 pulses/min and max. number

If the actual value (in gure) is greater than the chlorine set value, there is no chlorine dosing (0 pulses/min).
If actual value = (set value - dosing range) there is full dosing (approx. 100 pulses/min). In the range between the two, dosing is
modied based on the actual value. For example, if the actual value is in the middle of the dosing range, half-dosing is carried
out (approx. 50 pulses/min).
Adjusting set value – Chlorine regulation (combined chlorine)
The procedure is the same as that for free chlorine, except that the arrows [5] and [6] under display 2 are used and regulation is
done against the measurement value for combined chlorine.

Adjusting set value – pH regulation
Set value adjustment for pH regulation is carried out by pressing and holding the Set value button [13].
The selected pH set value is then shown in the display. To change the set value, hold the button depressed while pressing
↑ or ↓ under display 3. Pressing and holding an arrow button for about one second triggers a “fast forward” function until the
button is released.
The gures below show dosing with both pH-elevating (alkali) and pH-lowering (acid) agent. The principle is the same, but the
direction is reversed.
On/Off controlled pH regulation
P-band* indicates the range within which dosing is steplessly changed from 0 to maximum dosing. In the example above,
acid is dosed when the actual value (= pH value) is greater than the set value. Acid and alkali are dosed when the actual value
is less than the alkali set value.
At maximum dosing, the dosing pump gives max. frequency* strokes/minute.
Presume there is acid dosing (pH value = 7.54, acid set value = 7.40), P regulation (P-band = 0.20) and frequency dosing
(max. frequency = 50 strokes/minute). Dosing is then calculated as follows:
Does = (pH actual value – acid set value) / P-band x Max. frequency = (7.54–7.40) / 0.20 × 50 = 35 strokes/minute.
If the dose as calculated above is negative, 0 strokes/minute is dosed. If the dose is greater than 50, then 50 strokes/minute
is dosed.

Alarm diodes
The alarm diodes indicate an alert with a ashing light. The alarm relay is an alternating contact free from electric potential.
It alternates when the diode is ashing (this means that a shut off unit indicates an alarm). Upon reset/acknowledgement of
alarm, the alarm relay alternates back but the alarm diode continues to be lit if the alarm is still active or is shut off if no alarm is
active. Indications are made for low alarms, high alarms, dosage errors and ow errors.
Dosing is affected by alarm as follows:
Flow error stops all dosing (starts when ow is correct)
Low alarm pH stops chlorine dosing (starts when value is within limits)
High alarm pH stops chlorine dosing (starts when value is within limits)
Low alarm redox / chlorine no effect on dosing
High alarm redox / chlorine no effect on dosing
Low alarm free/combined chlorine no effect on dosing
High alarm free/combined chlorine no effect on dosing
Dosing error pH stops all dosing (starts after Reset)
Dosing error free/combined chlorine stops chlorine dosing (starts after Reset)
Alarm level switch no effect on dosing
All alarms have a 5-second delay
Alarm delay
The high and low alarms have a delay of 5–600 seconds (set in electrode-specic conguration).
The ow switch alarm has a delay of 0–30 minutes (set in system conguration).
This is how the alarm delay works
• Delay time is counted up when an “alarm condition” applies.
• Delay time is counted down when an “alarm condition” does not apply.
• “Alarm” is activated (LED ashes) when delay time has reached the set delay time limit.
• “Alarm” is deactivated when the alarm is reset with the Reset button [15] and when delay time has been counted down to zero.
Alarm relay delay
The alarm relay has a delay of 0–30 minutes (set in system conguration). Function as follows:
• The delay time is counted up when there is an alarm that has not been reset and when the alarm delay time has not been
zeroed.
• The delay time is reset when it is not counted up (as per condition above).
• The alarm relay is activated when the delay time has reached the set delay time limit.
• Reset [15] deactivates the alarm relay and resets the delay time.
Alarm reset
Alarm reset is carried out by pressing and holding the Reset button [15] for about one second until the LEDs stop ashing (and
the alarm relay is de-energized).
While the Reset button [15] is held depressed, the display(s) show text indicating which alarms were active when the button was
pressed (see chapter Troubleshoting on page 32, there you nd all alarm codes and what they mean).
If several alarms are active, these are displayed at a 1-second interval.
The acknowledged, non-active alarms disappear when the button is released. Pressing the button again will display the
remaining active alarms.
Reset is not possible while Autodos M is in calibration mode.
The dosing time counter is always zeroed with a reset.
Showing uncalibrated values
Display of the factory-calibrated values (as if no calibration was carried out since delivery from the factory) can be carried out by
pressing the Function [11] and Alarm low [14] buttons simultaneously (also works during calibration).
NOTE: On Autodos M3 with acid/alkali dosing, these buttons are called Set acid [11] and Alarm low [14].
The function is a good troubleshooting aid if the electrodes are not functioning normally.
This function helps troubleshooting if the electrodes do not work as intended.
