3 Safety and responsibility
3.1 User qualification
WARNING!
Danger of injury with inadequately qualified per‐
sonnel
The operator of the system / equipment is respon‐
sible for ensuring that the qualifications are ful‐
filled.
If inadequately qualified personnel work on the unit
or loiter in the hazard zone of the unit, this could
result in dangers that could cause serious injuries
and material damage.
– All work on the unit should therefore only be
conducted by qualified personnel.
–Unqualified personnel should be kept away
from the hazard zone.
The pertinent accident prevention regulations, as
well as all other generally acknowledged safety
regulations, must be adhered to.
Training Definition
Instructed personnel An instructed person is deemed to be a person who has been instructed and,
if required, trained in the tasks assigned to him and possible dangers that
could result from improper behaviour, as well as having been instructed in the
required protective equipment and protective measures.
Trained user A trained user is a person who fulfils the requirements made of an instructed
person and who has also received additional training specific to the system
from the manufacturer or another authorised distribution partner.
Trained, qualified per‐
sonnel
A trained, qualified employee is deemed to be a person who is able to assess
the tasks assigned to him and recognize possible hazards based on his
training, knowledge and experience, as well as knowledge of pertinent regula‐
tions. A trained, qualified employee must be able to perform the tasks
assigned to him independently with the assistance of drawing documentation
and parts lists. The assessment of a person's technical training can also be
based on several years of work in the relevant field.
Electrical technician An electrical technician is able to complete work on electrical systems and rec‐
ognise and avoid possible dangers independently based on his technical
training and experience as well as knowledge of pertinent standards and regu‐
lations. An electrical technician must be able to perform the tasks assigned to
him independently with the assistance of drawing documentation, parts lists,
terminal and circuit diagrams. The electrical technician must be specifically
trained for the working environment in which the electrical technician is
employed and be conversant with the relevant standards and regulations.
Service The Service department refers to service technicians, who have received
proven training and have been authorised by the manufacturer to work on the
system.

3.3 General safety information
WARNING!
Danger from hazardous substances!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious inju‐
ries.
Please ensure when handling hazardous sub‐
stances that you have read the latest safety data
sheets provided by the manufacture of the haz‐
ardous substance. The actions required are
described in the safety data sheet. Check the
safety data sheet regularly and replace, if neces‐
sary, as the hazard potential of a substance can be
re-evaluated at any time based on new findings.
The system operator is responsible for ensuring
that these safety data sheets are available and that
they are kept up to date, as well as for producing
an associated hazard assessment for the worksta‐
tions affected.
Live parts
nMeasure: Disconnect the mains plug prior to opening the
housing.
nDe-energise damaged or faulty units, or units that have been
tampered with, by disconnecting the mains plug.
Unauthorised access
nMeasure: Ensure that there can be no unauthorised access to
the unit
Operating errors
nEnsure that the unit is only operated by adequately qualified
and technically expert personnel
nAlso observe the operating instructions for the controllers and
fittings and any other assemblies, such as sensors, sample
water pump ...
nThe operator is responsible for ensuring that personnel are
qualified
Electronic faults
nDo not lay the mains connection cable and data cable together
with cables that are prone to interference
nMeasure: Take appropriate interference suppression measures
Safety and responsibility

Warning of feed chemical spraying around.
nSpraying feed chemical caused by a leak.
nRegularly check the system for leaks.
nEnsure that the system with all components can be de-ener‐
gised from outside the danger zone by appropriate measures
(e.g. Emergency Stop switch etc.).
Correct sensor operation / run-in period.
nDamage to the product or its surroundings.
nCorrect measurement and metering is only possible if the
sensor is working perfectly.
nIt is imperative that the run-in periods for the sensors are
adhered to.
nAllow for run-in periods when planning commissioning.
nIt may take an entire working day to run in the sensor.
nPlease refer to the operating instructions for the sensor.
Correct sensor operation
nCorrect measuring and metering is only possible if the sensor
is working perfectly
nCheck and calibrate the sensor regularly.
Compensation for control deviations
nThis controller cannot be used in control circuits which require
rapid compensation (< 30 seconds).
3.4 Intended use
The unit is designed to measure and control the pH value and dis‐
infectant content in swimming pools. Usually the integrated
metering pumps are intended for metering the necessary chemi‐
cals. Only connect other feeder assemblies, such as electrolysis
systems or calcium hypochlorite systems, if these systems are
intended for use in swimming pools.
Only use the unit in accordance with the technical details and
specifications provided in these operating instructions and in the
operating instructions for the individual components (such as sen‐
sors, fittings, calibration instruments, metering pumps etc.).
All other uses or modifications are prohibited.

Basic rules.
nPrior to storage or transport, make sure that the metering sys‐
tems are free from feed chemicals and water.
nFlush out the wetted parts including the hoses with clean pure
water.
nStore and transport the metering systems in their original pack‐
aging.
nAlso protect the packaged metering systems from damp, expo‐
sure to chemicals and mechanical effects.
nPlease also observe the operating instructions for the control‐
lers and fittings and other assemblies, such as sensors, filter,
metering pump ...
Storage temperature: 0 ... 50 °C
Air humidity: < 95% relative humidity, non-condensing
If the metering systems are stored as an assembly with the sen‐
sors, then the storage and transport conditions must be appro‐
priate for the component with the least resistance to external influ‐
ences.

5.4.1 Metering system
Maximum permissible operating pressure of the bypass fitting.
nLimit the pressure directly at the sample water extraction point
to a maximum of 2 bar (at 30 °C) using a pressure reducer.
Otherwise the maximum permissible operating pressure of the
bypass fitting will be exceeded.
nDo not allow a back pressure of more than 2 bar (at 30 °C) to
build up at the drain. Otherwise the maximum permissible
operating pressure of the bypass fitting will be exceeded.
1. With flow sensor: Push the flow sensor into the bypass fitting
and tighten the reducing nipple and the mounting clip.
2. Route the sample water feed via a ball valve from the filter
circuit to the bypass fitting.
3. Route the sample water drainage from the bypass fitting via a
ball valve into the filter circuit, see figures above.
4. Install a 1/2” straight union onto the pipe of the filter circuit for
each injection valve.
5. Screw the injection valves into a straight union of the filter cir‐
cuit pipe.
