The appliance must be transported upright on its pallet, in its original packaging.
If the appliance has been overturned make written reserves in writing to the transporter.
Removing or shunting any of the safety or remote control parts will automatically
void the guarantee; the same will apply for the replacement of parts by non-
original parts.
Do not discharge R407C fluid into the atmosphere: R407C is a fluorinated
greenhouse effect gas, covered by the Kyoto Protocol, with a Global Warming
Potential (GWP) = 1653 - (Directive EC 842/2006).
According to French decree no. 2007-737 of 7th May 2007, if the appliance has
more than 2 kg of refrigerant gas (refer to manufacturer specifications), the cooling
circuit must be checked for leakage at least once a year.
This operation must be carried out by a certified cooling appliance specialist.
Before working on the appliance, ensure that it is disconnected from the power
supply.
This device must be installed and serviced by certified professionals approved in
the electrical, hydraulic and cooling domains.

1.3 Installation
1.3.1 Electrical regulations for swimming pools
Refer to the current regulations for your country.
French standard C15.100 Section 702 - U.T.E:
In volumes 0 and 1, only protection using Very Low Voltage (article 411.1) with a nominal voltage not
exceeding 12 V AC or 30V DC is allowed. The protection must be installed outside volumes 0, 1 and 2
(the appliance has a protection index of at least IP X5).
In volume 2 (see figures 702A and 702B), the appliances must be:
- either class II for lighting,
- or class I protected by a 30 mA or less ground fault circuit breaker,
- or powered by a separation transformer in compliance to paragraph 413.5.1
The appliance has a protection index of at least IP X2.

1.3.2 Installation requirements
1.3.3 Connection to surrounding air
Leave sufficient space to install a blower plenum* on top of the unit in order to orient the air flow, if
possible towards the bay windows opening on the exterior.
*unit distributing air to the blowing system
1) Install the appliance on a level base, to avoid any overflows from the condensation
tray,
2) Easy access to the appliance for maintenance and connections, leave
1 meter of free space around the CAE.
3) Place nothing in front of or on the blowing and suction grates,
4) Anti-vibration studs (supplied) must be installed under the appliance,
5) For a swimming pool building with a high ceiling or visible roof frame:
- destratification of the upper layers of the room = one or several fans with PVC
blades or an air extractor with fresh air intake.
Warning! 230 V AC appliances = must be outside volume 1 (see §1.3.1),
6) Building requirements: swimming pool building = very damp room
During building make sure that:
- the materials used are compatible with a swimming pool environment,
- the walls are sufficiently waterproofed and insulated to avoid condensation forming in
the room when relative humidity reaches 60 to 70%.
Light structure buildings (verandas, shelters...): there is no risk of deterioration of the
structure, even in case of dew as they are designed to support this (even with a relative
humidity of 70%)
7) Risk of stratification:
- height of the room < 4 to 5 meters: mechanical ventilator unit or extractor,
- height of the room > 7 to 8 meters: ceiling fans with large blades,
8) Ventilation, renewal of air,
- private pools: highly recommended
- public pools: compulsory
The air can be renewed by:
- a simple mechanical ventilation unit,
- a wall or roof extractor with fresh air intakes.
This ventilation ensures the hygienic renewal of air, the removal of any chloramines
present in the air, and the elimination of excessively hot air, whilst contributing to the
dehumidification of the room.

1.3.4 Connection through a dividing wall
Plan 610 x 410 mm spaces in the wall between the technical room and the pool hall.
In the wall on the pool side, seal the standard grate frame on the bottom (without any equipotential
connection to the sound trap) and the double deflector grate on the top (without any equipotential
connection with the blower elbow).
On the technical room side connect the made to measure metalwork (sound trap, blower elbow) to the
system and fit a foam joint for water tightness and to block any vibrations.

Dimensions in mm, indications of values for installation using accessories for a CAE with mini-duct
network (see Zodiac Pool Care Europe catalogue).
1.3.5 Connection to a duct network
Install the appliance in a technical room that is protected from freezing.
Connect the intake and blower duct (or standard parts) respecting the air circulation direction:
- intake: behind the system (standard 825 x 405 mm frame)
to the right of the system (standard 559 x 465 mm frame)
to the left of the system (standard 559 x 465 mm frame)
- hot dry air blower: from the top, from the front or from the rear of the upper box on the system
(standard 405 x 350 mm frame).
Minimum cross section for blower and intake ducts
Appliance Unit CAE 508 CAE 510 CAE 513
Rectangular duct mm 400 x 400 500 x 500 500 x 500
Circular duct mm 400 500 500
Cross section for a maximum length of 20 meters, air speed: 5 to 6 meters/second
Average load losses by air flow direction change, 90° elbow or by T = 1 mm EC
To ensure the correct operation of the system, the duct network must be sized
according to the air flow delivered by the appliance (see table below).
For very long or complicated networks please contact us.
The blower grates must be fitted with registers for better air distribution.
Plan a water drainage point at the low point for possible projection of water in the
ducts.

1.3.6 Connection of condensation drainage
The drainage is gravitational using Ø32 piping (not supplied) fitted with a
siphon system with a purge cap.
Condensation drainage, from the front face the drainage is:
on the right if drainage from the rear, but can be switched to the left,
to do this:
- unscrew joint from joint ,
- unscrew joint from elbow .
- reassemble on the other side making sure it is watertight (adjust
the length of the flexible tube to avoid pinching it).
on the side opposite the drainage if it is lateral.
For placing the condensation drainage: see mark “A Ø26/34“
§ “dimensions” in the appendix.
1.3.7 Electric connections
1.3.7.1 Voltage and protection
The electrical supply must be provided through a protection and circuit breaking device (not
supplied) complying with the standards and regulations in force in the country where it is installed (in
France standard NF C 15100).
Electrical protection: 30 mA ground fault circuit breaker (at the head of the line).
Acceptable voltage variation tolerance: ± 10% (during operation),
Electric cables must be fixed.
Prior to any operation, check that the voltage on the identification plate of the
appliance corresponds to the mains voltage available on site.
