S3500 Cell
The S3500 cell must be installed horizontally (level) within 5 degrees, in the return to pool line. The
two plumbing inlets must point down.
S3500 Power Pack
The Power Pack must be mounted on a vertical wall or fence within 1.5 metres of the cell and at least 1 metre
above the ground. The Power Pack must also be in a position to allow its supply lead to be plugged into a 10 amp
240 volt power point.
Select a suitable place to attach the mounting bracket, at least 1 metre above the ground and clear from hazards.
Ensure that the location selected is well ventilated (allowing plenty of airflow behind the unit) and is not in direct
sunlight (If mounted in direct sunlight the LED indicators will be less visible). The suitable location must not be
attached to or on top of a source producing large amounts of heat (e.g. metal fence or shed wall).
Mount the bracket horizontally ensuring that the vent louvers above the screws are facing upwards. Carefully
hook the Power Pack onto the mounting bracket.
Connecting the Pool Pump
Raise the tinted Control Panel Cover on the front of the Power Pack and loosen the two retaining screws in the
bottom right hand corner and remove the cable entry cover by pulling downwards. Plug the pool pump into
the pump socket on the front of the unit. Refit the cable entry cover making sure all cables pass through the
tunnel behind it to ensure they do not interfere with the proper closing of the Control Panel Cover.
Tighten retaining screws.
Off-Peak Installations
This unit is suitable for off-peak tariff supply (but will require installation by a suitably qualified tradesman).
Heaters and other
equipment in the return
to pool line must be
installed before the cell
(i.e. Between the cell
and filter)
Remember:
The filter pump must be
plugged into the Power Pack.
When secure, plug the lead
into a suitable 240 volt power
point, but DO NOT SWITCH THE
UNIT ON
Connecting a pump load
greater than 1.5kW, or the use
of double adapters/stackable
plugs will void the warranty.
Standard
What Salt Concentration to Use
We recommend that your S3500 salt concentration be maintained at a level of between 5000 and 7000 ppm.

operationoperationinstallationinstallation maintenancemaintenance
Chlorine Control
Because your S3500 Chlorinato r has been designed to operate over a range of salt levels, water
temperature, running time, etc, a Chlorine Control has been provided to compensate for these
variations. When first starting the unit and where maximum chlorine production is needed the
control knob should be rotated fully clockwise so the LED's are indicating maximum on the chlorine
output scale or as high as prevailing conditions will allow. To operate the filter pump only without the
cell, simply turn the Chlorine Control knob fully anti-clockwise.
LED Chlorine Output Monitor
The LED Chlorine Output Monitor has been provided to allow monitoring of the chlorine output
being produced by the cell.
Power/ No Flow
The top light is illuminated when power is applied to the Power Pack. It will also flash when
there is a problem with the water detection circuit (i.e. an empty cell).
Timer
For Manual Operation
Move the slide switch on the face of the timer to the position marked "ON". The pump and chlorinator
should now be operating (if the chlorine control is correctly adjusted)
To turn the pump and chlorinator off, move the slide switch to the "OFF" position.
For Automatic Operation
Move the slide switch on the face of the timer to the position marked "AUTO". The pump and
chlorinator should now operate when the next ON cycle is detected by the time switch (if the chlorine
control is correctly adjusted)
To manually turn the pump and chlorinator off, move the slide switch to the "OFF" position.
Setting the START and STOP Times
To Set the Clock Function
Rotate the dial in a clockwise direction only to align the present time of day with the indicator arrow on the
right hand side of the face of the timer, just above the slide switch
Slide the trip pins outwards on the timer face for morning and late afternoon operation as illustrated. We
recomend an initial operating period of 6 - 8 hours in Summer and 2 - 4 hours in Winter. This will vary
depending on the relitive size of your pool, filter and chlorinator

Chemical Balance Guide
Your S3500 chlorinator is designed to be used for swimming pool water, which needs to be balanced in
accordance with Langlier Saturation Index, with a pH level of 7.2 to 7.6 and maintains the recommended
levels of sanitizer. (i.e 2 - 3 ppm of free chlorine). Regular water analysis and advice on correct addition
of chemicals and/or products to achieve suitable water quality and balance by a reputable professional
pool shop will ensure bather health and comfort and extended equipment service life.
Maintenance Frequency
Initially, check your cell every week for deposits of scale on the electrodes. This will enable you to
determine the cleaning period. Your S3500 cell must be cleaned before scale builds up to the point
where the electrode gaps in the cell are bridged. If the cell operates with scale bridging the electrode
gaps it can be irreparably damaged and the electrodes may have to be replaced. This will aslo void your
warranty.
Cell Cleaning
Manual Procedure
1. Remove S3500 Power Pack plug from 240 volt power point.
2. Remove cell from plumbing.
3. Turn cell upside down (inlets facing upwards) and place on a level non-metallic surface in a well
ventilated area.
4. Prepare your cell cleaning solution by following the directions supplied by the chemial
manufacturer.
5. Carefully pour sufficient cleaning solution into the upturned cell so as to fully cover the metal
electrodes.
6. Allow to stand for 10 minutes then flush out with clean water.
7. If electrodes still show white deposits, repeat the above steps.
It is recommended that a warm water detergent solution be used to soak the electrodes at this
point if there is any evidence of body fats, oils or grease.
8. Refit the cell to plumbing line making sure both rubber “O” ring seals are in place.
9. Re-connect the Power Pack plug to 240 volt power point and switch on.
