2.3 Risks
All safety and protection instructions contained in this document must be followed in order to
avoid injury, property damage or environmental, irremediable or temporary pollution.
Likewise, all other regulations and measures for accident prevention and environmental
protection, as well as any recognised technical regulations relating to safe and appropriate
working methods applicable in the country and at the place of use of the device must be complied
with.
Any violation of safety and protection rules or any existing legal and technical regulations may
result in irreparable or temporary injury, property damage or environmental pollution.
2.3.1 Personnel
DANGER
Risk of electric shock or electrocution:
Before working on the E-Box SOLEO Connect:
• Always turn off the power to the controller SOLEO and SPEEDEO Connect to the
circuit breaker before the maintenance. Failure to do so could result in death or
serious injury to the technician, pool users or others due to electric shock.
• Please disconnect the connections before working on the SOLEO and SPEEDEO
Connect; the AC power can be supplied to the relay terminals close to other sources.
DANGER
Chemical burn hazard!
Be sure to shut off all pumps at the main circuit breakers on the home switchboard
before drilling in any line. Properly fix all electrical, water and chemical lines.
Consolidate feed pumps and chemical tanks in a safe and secure area.
WARNING
Safety tips on the standard solution!
The standard solution pH 4 is acidic. It must be kept away from children and securely
close it to the right of the bottle. Store in a dry, ventilated place. Do not expose to frost.

Installation and Operation Guide Version E-Box SOLEO Connect - Security
10 / 64 Ref. SB-CU-IMP-069EB / A - 12.05.2023
WARNING
Water temperatures above 37.7°C are a health hazard!
Prolonged immersion in hot water can cause hyperthermia. Taking alcohol, drugs or
medication is a factor aggravating the risk of hyperthermia in hot water baths and spas.
Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature of the body exceeds by several
degrees the normal temperature of 37°C. Hyperthermia can produce the following
effects:
• Inability to perceive imminent danger.
• Insensitivity to heat.
• Inability to perceive the need to leave the pool.
• Physical inability to leave the pool.
• Foetal injury in pregnant women.
• Syncope resulting in danger of drowning.
CAUTION
Risk of injury due to improper handling!
Only qualified personnel and duly trained professionals are authorised to carry out the
required work, according to their training, experience, instructions received and their
knowledge of the safety rules as well as the operations to be carried out.
Prohibition
Do not allow children to operate this equipment!
Risk of injury.
Prohibition
Do not use this product to control an automatic pool shutter!
Swimmers may find themselves trapped under the shutter.
Mandatory
Strictly follow the safety and handling procedures of the acid manufacturers!
Including protective measures for hands, body and eyes during transfer and handling of
acid. Also observe the safety precautions prescribed for handling muriatic acid intended
to control the pH of the water. Muriatic acid can cause serious bodily harm and damage
to swimming pool equipment.
Mandatory
Check the pH and disinfectant levels of the water before using the pool and make sure
the water filtration device is not clogged!
Use an independent pH and chlorine test kit very periodically to ensure that the pH and
chlorine level meet safety requirements. PH, RedOx, or conductivity sensors that are
degraded, discharged, or clogged by oils, lotions, or other contaminants are likely to
return incorrect results in the system and induce improper chemical treatment of the
water, thereby creating a hazard to people and equipment.

This installation and operation guide contains important information about the
installation, operation and safety of this product!
This guide should be provided to the owner and / or operator of this product.
2.3.2 Hardware
DANGER
Risk of electric shock or electrocution!
Connect the E-Box SOLEO Connect to a differential circuit breaker.
Reminder: the power cables of the pool lights must not be routed to the pool by means of
sheaths containing other electrical cables.
Refer to local standards for details.
Mandatory
Comply with regulations!
Most countries regulate the construction, installation and operation of public swimming
pools, spas and residential pools. It is important to comply with these rules, many of
which directly regulate the installation and use of this product. Check your building and
local health codes for more information.
Mandatory
When mixing acid and water, always add the acid to the water!
Never add water to the acid. When adding a chemical to the pool, be sure to follow the
manufacturer's instructions and be equipped with appropriate protective equipment.
Mandatory
Observe special precautions when installing, servicing and operating acid supply pump
systems!
The acid is dangerous to handle and requires the application of appropriate special
measures with regard to its containers, transport, filling, storage, distribution and
handling procedures.
Mandatory
Check the daily display SOLEO!
Make sure that no alarm message is active.
Mandatory
For all components other than remote controls, observe a distance of at least 1.5m from
the inner wall of the pool or spa!
Mandatory
Sufficient equipotential bonding (min. 4.5 mm2), according to local regulations, is
mandatory on all metal components of the pool, including the pool pump!
This is necessary for electrical safety, as well as to reduce the risk of corrosion.
