2. Installation
2.1 Preparing the pool: water balance
The appliance is designed to disinfect pool water using its salt water chlorina on func on.
It is essen al that the pool water balance is controlled and adjusted before installing the appliance. Making sure that the
pool water balance is correct from the very start will reduce the likelihood of encountering problems on the fi rst days of
opera on or during the season the pool is in use.
Even though it is an autonomous system, it is essen al to regularly analyse the water to check the water balance
parameters.

2.2 Installing the power pack
• The power pack box must be installed in a ven lated technical room, free from all traces of damp, free from stored pool
maintenance products and free from freezing temperatures.
• The control box must be installed less than 3.5 metres from the pool.
• It must not be installed more than 1.8 metres from the cell (maximum cable length).
• If the pack is fi xed to a post, a water ght panel must be fi xed behind the control box (350x400 mm minimum).
• Fix the support solidly to the wall or the water ght panel, and place the power pack on it using the screws provided.
• The cell must always be the last element placed on the pool return pipe (see diagram).
• It is always recommended to install the cell on a by-pass. This assembly is MANDATORY if the fl ow is in excess
of 18 m³/hour to avoid load loss.
• If you installed the cell on a by-pass, it is recommended to fi t a check valve downstream from the cell and not
a manual valve, to avoid any risk of incorrect handling.
• The two red wires can be connected to one or the other red terminals on the electrode.
2.4 Installing the flow controller
The fl ow controller and its fi xture collar (Ø50 mm) must impera vely be installed on the piping close to the cell and
upstream from it. Use the supplied threaded adapter and Tefl on tape to install the fl ow controller on its fi xture collar.
• Cell installed on a by-pass: the fl ow controller must be installed on the cell by-pass between the upstream isola on
valve and the cell itself.
• Cell installed in line: the fl ow controller must be installed just in front of the cell and a er a possible valve.
• Tighten the fl ow controller using the  ghtening nut only ( ghten by hand!).
2.3 Installing the cell
• The cell must be installed on the piping a er the fi ltering, a er
any measurement sensors, and a er eventual hea ng systems.
• Make sure that the cell is placed HORIZONTALLY. Ideally the
water should fl ow from the electric connec ons towards the
opposite side.
• Use the screw-on fi  ngs to fi x the cell to the pipes. For Ø63 mm
pipes, glue them directly to the screw-on fi  ngs. For Ø50 mm
pipes, use glue-on PVC adapters of the corresponding diameter
(grey models; the white models are for 1 ½’’ UK pipes). In the
case of Ø63 mm pipes, glue them directly to the screw-on fi  ngs.
• Connect the cell power supply cable following the wire colour
codes (red, black and blue connectors) and then refi t the
protec ve cap.

• Failure to follow these instruc ons could lead to the destruc on of the cell ! (see “2.3 Installing the cell”). The
manufacturer cannot be liable in this case.
• The fl ow detector has a direc on for installa on (arrow indicated on it showing the fl ow direc on for the
water). Make sure that is is correctly placed on its fi xture collar so that it stops the electrolyser produc on when
fi ltering is stopped (red “Flow” indicator on showing the absence of fl ow, see “5. Troubleshoo ng”).
2.5 Electric connections
2.5.1 Connec ng the power pack
The electrolyser can be connected in several diff erent ways (in compliance with the applicable standards in the country
of installa on).
• Preferred connec on: the appliance is connected to a permanent power supply separated from the fi ltering thanks to
the presence of the fl ow controller (power supply protected by a specifi c 30mA ground fault circuit breaker).
• Possible connec on: directly coupled to the pool fi ltering (the appliance is only supplied with power when fi ltering is
opera ng).
• Op onal connec on: the female connector located under the pack is designed for the direct connec on of a fi ltering
pump (230Vac-50Hz, maximum consump on 9A). In this case, use the supplied corresponding male connector (which
will allow the electrolyser programmer to control both fi ltering and chlorina on  mes).
• When all connec ons have been completed and all glued assemblies have dried, reconnect the mains power supply to
power on the appliance.
Whichever connec on is used, it is mandatory to programme the electrolyser opera ng  mes (called “Timers”)
(see “3.2.2 Programming Menu (Timers)”).
2.5.2 Connec on to an electric roll-on shu er
If the pool is fi  ed with an electric roll-on shu er, it can be connected to the electrolyser so that the la er automa cally
adapts its chlorine produc on when the shu er is closed (see”3.1.2 “Low” mode”).
• Make sure the appliance is powered off .
• Remove the silver protec ve cover (1).
• Remove the 4 lower module fi xture screws and remove the module (2). The bo om of the electric board is now
visible (called “PCB” on the diagrams below).
• If you have a pH or chlorine regula on module, follow the installa on steps to reassemble the module (see the module’s
installa on and user manual).

The electrolyser is compa ble with several diff erent types of electric shu er. However, certain systems may not be
compa ble. In those cases ac vate the “Low” mode manually using its specifi c bu on on the electrolyser control
panel (see “3.1.2 “Low” mode”).

2.5.3 Connec on of an external controller (Automa on/Domo cs)
The electrolyser is compa ble with certain types of remote control for pools
(“automa on”). It has especially been designed to operate on the Zodiac AquaLink TRi®
system.
• Make sure the appliance is powered off .
• Remove the silver protec ve cover and the lower module (see “2.5.2 Connec on to an
electric roll-on shu er”). If the appliance is already fi  ed with a pH Link or Dual Link
module, carefully disconnect its connec on braid before removing the module.
• Remove the small white cap covering the hole designed to pass the “RS485” type connec on cable (available as an
accessory) between the electrolyser and the automa on system.
• Pass the “RS485” cable from the automa on system through the hole. Place a cable  e on the controller wire to prevent
it from being pulled off .
• Wind the «RS485» cable three  mes around a ferrite (not supplied).
• Depending on the brand and type of external automa on system, complete the following connec ons for the connec on
cable (7, 3):

-0V Terminal = green wire
-POS Terminal = red wire
Pentair® Intellitouch:
-A Terminal = yellow wire
-B Terminal = green wire
-0V Terminal = black wire
-POS Terminal = red wire
• Close the electrolyser control box cover.
• Make sure the automa on system is switched off , then power on the electrolyser.
• Go to the “CONTROLLER” menu on the electrolyser and select the corresponding
model from the list (see “3.2.4 External controller menu (Automa on/Domo cs)”).
The default se ng is “AQUALINK TRi”
• Switch on the automa on system and wait for a few seconds.
• If the connec on is successful the “‡” symbol will appear in the top right corner of the electrolyser screen:
• If the connec on fails, switch off both the automa on system and the electrolyser, check all the electric
connec ons and repeat the test. It may be necessary to reini alise the electrolyser. To do this press on
and simultaneously: the appliance will restart and the clock we have to be reset to the correct  me.
Consult the automa on system user manual if necessary.
• Once the electrolyser is connected to an automa on system it will only be possible to access its menu via its
control panel. The modifi ca on of all chlorine produc on related se ngs will from now on be managed using
the automa on system user interfaces.

If the language displayed on the screen when the electrolyser is fi rst powered is not appropriate, see “3.2.5 Lan-
guage Menu”.
3.1.1 “Boost” mode
In certain cases your pool may need higher than normal chlorina on (stormy weather, high number of bathers, etc.). The
“Boost” mode is used to quickly increase chlorine levels.
• Press the bu on: “BOOST” is displayed on the screen and 100% chlorine produc on starts.
• When the “Boost” mode is ac vated, the rated chlorine produc on se ngs are temporarily overridden and
the electrolyser will operate for a total of 24 hours at a 100% chlorine produc on level. The number of days will
then depend on the opera ng  mes (see “3.2.2 Programming Menu (Timers)”).
• The “Boost” mode cannot be started or stopped in the following condi ons:
-if the electrolyser is stopped,
-if the electrolyser is connected to an automa on system (the “Boost” mode is then driven from the automa on
system user interface).
3.1.2 “Low” mode
If your pool has a covering system (shelter, shu er, cover, etc.), “Low” mode is designed to adapt chlorine produc on to
situa ons where the pool is covered (lower needs).
This mode is also called “Shu er” or “Winter” mode. Its eff ect is to limit chlorine produc on to 10%.
Manual ac va on (shelter, cover, winter use, etc.):
• Press the bu on: “LOW MODE 10%” is displayed on the screen and chlorine produc on is reduced to 10%.
• To stop this mode: press the bu on again.
Automa c ac va on (compa ble electric roll-on cover):
• Make sure the cover is compa ble and connected to the electrolyser (see “2.5.2 Connec on to an electric roll-on
shu er”).
• “Low” mode will automa cally be ac vated when the shu er is closed.
• “Low” mode will stop as soon as the cover is completely open (a er a  mer of a few minutes).

8
“Low” mode cannot be started or stopped in the following condi ons:
• if the electrolyser is stopped,
• if the electrolyser is connected to an automa on system but is not connected to a roll-on shu er (“Low” mode
is then driven from the automa on system user interface).
3.2 Settings
3.2.1 Clock Menu
The electrolyser is fi  ed with an internal memory. When the appliance is fi rst switched on it is important to leave
it powered on con nuously for at least 24 hours in order to ini ally charge the accumulator (permanent separate
power supply or fi ltering on permanently). Once loaded the accumulator has several weeks of autonomy in the
event of a power failure.
• Power on the electrolyser and wait for the screen start-up sequence to complete.
• Press the bu on to access the main menu.
• Use the and bu ons to reach the “CLOCK” line and press to validate.
• Use the and bu ons to set the hour, then press to memorise.
• Use the and bu ons to set the minutes, then press to memorise. The electrolyser will then automa cally
return to the main menu.
• Press the bu on to return to the home screen.
The  me is displayed in a 24 hour format.
3.2.2 Programming Menu (Timers)
The electrolyser has two programmers to control chlorine produc on  mes. These are called “Timers or
“Opera ng  me intervals”.
“Timer” programming is used to de ne the electrolyser opera ng  mes within the  ltering system opera on
 mes. The daily opera ng  mes must be suffi cient to correctly treat the water.
A reminder of the calcula on rule: the ideal daily  ltering  me is obtained by dividing the required pool water
temperature (measured in °C) by 2.
Example: for water at 28°C - 28/2 - 14 hours per day
Crea ng a “Timer”:
• On the home screen press the bu on.
• Use the and bu ons to reach the “PROGRAMMING” line, then press to display the programming
se ngs menu.
• Use the and bu ons to select the  mer to set (“TIMER 1” or “TIMER 2”), then press .
• Use the and bu ons to set the star ng  me hour, then press to memorise.
• Use the and bu ons to set the star ng  me minutes, then press to memorise.
• Use the and bu ons to set the stopping  me hour, then press to memorise.
• Use the and bu ons to set the stopping  me minutes, then press to memorise. The electrolyser
returns to the “PROGRAMMING” menu automa cally.
