3.1 Users' qualifications
WARNING!
Danger of injury with inadequately qualified per‐
sonnel!
The operator of the plant / device is responsible for
ensuring that the qualifications are fulfilled.
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
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/her and possible dangers that
could result from improper behaviour, as well as having been instructed in the
required protective equipment and protective measures.

Trained qualified per‐
sonnel
A 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/her
training, knowledge and experience, as well as knowledge of pertinent regula‐
tions. The assessment of a person's technical training can also be based on
several years of work in the relevant field.
Electrician Electricians are deemed to be people, who are able to complete work on elec‐
trical systems and recognize and avoid possible hazards independently based
on his/her technical training and experience, as well as knowledge of pertinent
standards and regulations.

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.
WARNING!
Live parts!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious inju‐
ries
– Measure: Disconnect the mains power supply
prior to opening the housing
–De-energise damaged, defective units or units
that have been tampered with by disconnecting
the mains plug
WARNING!
Unauthorised access!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious inju‐
ries.
– Measure: Ensure that there can be no unau‐
thorised access to the unit

WARNING!
Operating faults!
Possible consequence: Fatal or very serious inju‐
ries.
– Ensure that the unit is only operated by ade‐
quately qualified and technically expert per‐
sonnel
–Please also observe the operating instructions
for controllers and fittings and any other com‐
ponent groups, such as sensors, sample water
pumps ...

personnel are qualified
CAUTION!
Electronic malfunctions
Possible consequence: Material damage right
through to irreparable damage to the unit
– Do not lay the mains connection cable and
data cable together with cables that are prone
to interference
–Measure: Take appropriate interference sup‐
pression measures
CAUTION!
Warning of feed chemical spraying around
Spraying feed chemical caused by a leak.
Possible consequence: Injuries caused by chemi‐
cals.
– Regularly check the system for leaks.
–Ensure that the system with all components
can be de-energised from outside the danger
zone by appropriate measures (e.g. emer‐
gency stop switch etc.).
NOTICE!

Damage to the product or its surroundings
– Correct measuring and metering is only pos‐
sible if the sensor is working perfectly
–It is imperative that the run-in periods for the
sensors are adhered to
– Allow for run-in periods when planning com‐
missioning
– It may take a whole working day to run in the
sensor
– Please read the operating instructions for the
sensor

3.4 Intended Use
Intended Use
The unit is designed to measure and regulate the
pH value and chlorine content in swimming pools.
Usually the integrated metering pumps are
intended for metering the necessary chemicals.
Only connect other feeder assemblies, such as
electrolysis systems or calcium hypochlorite sys‐
tems, 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 oper‐
ating instructions and in the operating instructions
for the individual components (such as sensors, fit‐
tings, calibration instruments, metering pumps
etc.).
All other uses or modifications are prohibited.

4.3 Acknowledge fault or warning message
If the controller recognises an error
[Error] , the control is stopped,
the backlight switches to red lighting and the alarm relay is deacti‐
vated. You can access the next value to be set by pressing the
key. In this process, the controller indicates all errors and warn‐
ings. The pending alarm messages can be selected and, if
required, acknowledged/confirmed. If you acknowledge an error,
the alarm relay activates and the backlight switches back to white
light. In the bottom part of the display, the error or warning mes‐
sage that has occurred remains displayed, such as
[Error 01] , until
the cause has been cleared.
In the event of a warning, e.g. the controller signals that a sensor
has not been calibrated yet, further processing using the controller
is possible with or without acknowledgement of the message.
In the event of an error message [Error] , [e.g.] the controller signals
that no sensor is connected, then after acknowledgement of the
message, no further processing is possible using the controller.
You must now rectify the error - for this see the chapter on Diag‐
nostics and Troubleshooting.

structural or organisational means. We recommend that you
comply with the requirements for plant rooms in swimming pools
specified in DIN 19643.
If the system is delivered as a collection of loose parts or without
metering pumps for installation by the customer, assemble all com‐
ponents or the external metering pumps as specified in the over‐
view of equipment in chapter
