DESCRIPTION
The pH wireless pump works together with your SMC chlorinator to correct the pH
level of your pool by injecting corrective acid solution into the circuit.
The chlorinator monitors the pH continuously by means of its pH sensor and sends a
dosing signal to the wireless pump which will, in turn, inject acid into the pool when
needed.
The wireless link allows you to install the pump and the acid container at a certain
distance from the chlorinator and, thus, to protect the chlorinator or other equipment
from corrosive damage.
All control and measuring settings are configurated through the chlorinator MENU 6
“pH configuration”. Please read SMC Chlorinators Operation Instructions for refer-
ence.

MECHANICAL AND HYDRAULIC INSTALLATION
During installation ensure that the mains cable is disconnected from the power
supply.
Acids are very corrosive and can harm your eyes, skin and airways.
When working with pH correctors necessary caution and preventive measures
should be taken. Always wear PPE e.g. safety googles, gloves and clothing.
Acid container.
We strongly recommend to place the acid container outside the filter shed. If it is
not possible, ensure an adequate ventilation is provided and place the container
as far from metallic and electronic equipment as possible and NEVER underneath
the pump or other device.
Wireless Pump.
Install the pump on the wall in an easy to access location using the bracket pro-
vided. Before attaching the bracket to the pump, use the bracket to mark on the
wall the location of the holes you will need to make for the screws. Choose a loca-
tion close to the injection point. The pump can be installed at any distance from
the chlorinator.
Injection.
The injector should be installed in a HORIZONTAL position, install the clamp sad-
dle provided in the return pipe after all other equipment (pump, filter, heater, chlo-
rinator, etc.). It should be the last element on the return line. Install the injection
one way valve on the clamp saddle. Use Teflon tape to seal the thread. Connect
the injection rigid tubbing (opaque) to the valve.
Connect the other end of the injection tube (opaque) to the injection fitting [2]
(right side) of the peristaltic pump.
Suction.
Connect the flexible suction tube (transparent) to the injection fitting [1] (left side)
of the peristaltic pump.
Use a length of tube long enough to reach from the acid container to the peristal-
tic pump and feed the tube through the black rubber grommet in the ‘anti-fume’
cap. Once the cap is on the tube, fit the suction filter to the suction tube and place
the suction line into the acid container. Screw the anti fume cap down into posi-
tion.
Ph Sensor Probe.
Ph Sensor Probe must be installed after the media filter but before the Salt cell
with a 300mm distance from the cell to prevent damage.
Must be installed vertical with the probe pushed all the way down so the probe tip
is within the water flow.

Connect the 230 VAC power supply cable plug into a mains power point provided
with a protective earthing conductor (PE)
OPERATING
Priming
Once all different elements have been installed, push the priming button [3] to
make the peristaltic pump turn until the acid in the tube has reached the injection
point.
Reception LED indicator (blue)
As soon as you have activated the pH function in the chlorinator the Wireless
pump will start receiving dosing data from the chlorinator and the blue indicator will
blink every second. When the pH function is activated the chlorinator will send
data continuously to the pump even if the pH is correct and no dosing is neces-
sary. If the pump stops receiving data (no blue blinking) it will stop dosing a few
seconds later. The manual priming will still be operational even when the wireless
connection is interrupted.

OPERATION, CONFIGURATION AND CALIBRATION
The settings related to pH are located in MENU 6 “pH config.”
To access it, press the MENU key from the main screen and scroll with the help of
the arrows to menu 6.
MAIN MENU
6 pH config.
Press OK to enter the submenu. Use the arrows to scroll the different functions.
1. pH function activation
pH Configuration
1 pH activation
First submenu is for activate/deactivate pH function. Press OK to enter and
use arrows to select ON or OFF. Then press OK to confirm or MENU to exit.
2. Setpoints
pH Configuration
2 Setpoints
pH < 7.0 10% pH
> 9.0 90%
The calculation of the dosage is made by establishing two setpoints and the relative
volume of dosage that is required in each of these points.
 When the pH value is below the lower setpoint, the pump will not dose acid.
 When pH is between both points, the chlorinator will send a proportional sig-
nal defined by both points. For example, in the case of the figure, if pH is at
8, the pump will dose al 50%.
 When the pH is above the higher setpoint, the pump will dose to the fixed
volume defined for the higher point. In the case of the figure, 90%.


You can set both points and choose the percentage of dosage for each of them. To
do it, place the cursor with the MENU key under the parameter you want to modify
and USE arrows to change the value. Press OK to save the data and exit the sub-
menu.
By choosing the setpoints you will be defining at the same time the required dosing
volume and the response delay after dosing, both of them depending on the size of
your pool. For example, if your pool has a high volume you should establish high per-
centages of dosing. The response time in the pH measurement of your pool can be
considered when setting the lower setpoint, stopping the dosage before reaching the
desired pH value. For example, to obtain a pH = 7.0 and avoid overdosing, set the
dosage stop in a higher value:
pH < 7,2 0%
Each pool needs more or less acid, as they are more or less reactive to the dosage;
at the beginning at least, you may need to correct the setpoints several times.
3. pH probe Calibration
pH Configuration
2 Cal pH 4
pH Configuration
3 Cal pH 7
pH probes require a calibration before their first use and then they need to be cali-
brated periodically. This is because different probes have different responses and the
response of the same probe inevitably varies with time.
The calibration consists in measuring the response of the probe introducing it in two
different buffer solutions in order to be able to calculate the pH of any other solution,
in our case, the pH of the pool water.
The calibration of the probe is carried out using the two buffer solutions supplied (pH4
and pH7) and entering the submenus “2 Cal pH4” and “3 Cal pH7” respectively.
Enter the sub-menu 2 Cal pH4 by pressing OK key, it will show the following screen:
pH 4 Calibration
4.05 Cal 4.00
pH 7 Calibration
7.05 Cal 7.00
The value on the left indicates the current pH value measured by the probe. The
value on the right indicates the buffer solution we are using. You can adjust this
value using the arrows to adapt it to the temperature and the sample used.

pH Wireless Ver.21-7 11

Insert the probe in the 4 pH buffer calibration, remove it slightly with the probe and
wait for a stable reading value to be reached.
Once the reading value has stabilized press OK key to save calibration and exit.
Then, remove probe from the pH4 buffer solution, rinse its bottom with clean water
and shake gently to remove an excess of water.
Repeat the process above with the pH7 buffer solution and submenu “3 Cal pH 7”
Note: During calibration, if value measured by the probe, differs in more than 2 units
from the theoretical of the buffer solution (pH4 and pH7), data calibration won´t be
saved and it will go back to factory values. For example, if the reading value is 6,05
while calibrating with pH4 solution.
4. Factory calibration
pH Configuration
5 Factory calib.
In submenu 5 Factory calib,gives you the possibility to reset general calibration pa-
rameters to default values that correspond, approximately, with those of a regular
brand new probe. This can be useful if you have saved successive calibrations or do
not have the buffer solutions for a proper calibration.
Press OK to enter the sub menu 5 Factory calib, it will show the following screen.
Factory calib?
Yes:OK Exit:MENU
Press OK to confirm or MENU to exit.

7 Dosing delay
Delay OFF
Time 20 min
The probes take a certain time to generate a valid response after being disconnect-
ed. This function allows you to set a delay after turning on the device during which
the dosage remains on hold, thus avoiding an incorrect dosage. We recommend to
always activate a delay time of at least 15 min. When dosing is on hold, after turning
on the instrument, the main display will show dashes instead of pH value: pH—-.—-.
Place the cursor (MENU) under the word “OFF” and use arrows to activate (ON) or
deactivate (OFF) the dosing delay. Place the cursor under the word “min” and use
arrows to set delay time in minutes. Press OK to save and exit.
