Section 1. Important Safety Instructions
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
All electrical work must be performed by a licensed electrician and conform to all national, state, and local
codes. When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
WARNING
Prolonged immersion in hot water may induce hyperthermia. Hyperthermia occurs when the internal temperature
of the body reaches a level several degrees above the normal body temperature of 37°C. The symptoms of
hyperthermia include dizziness, fainting, drowsiness, lethargy, and an increase in the internal temperature of the
body. The effects of hyperthermia include: 1) unawareness of impending danger; 2) failure to perceive heat; 3)
failure to recognize the need to exit spa; 4) physical inability to exit spa; 5) fetal damage in pregnant women; 6)
unconsciousness resulting in a danger of drowning.
DANGER
To reduce the risk of severe injury or death, do not remove the suction fittings of your spa or hot tub. Never operate
a spa or hot tub if the suction fittings are broken or missing. Never replace a suction fitting with one rated less than
the flow rate marked on the equipment assembly.
WARNING
To Reduce the Risk of Injury -
a) The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C. Water temperatures should remain between 38°C and 40°C.
The water in a spa should never exceed 40°C. Water temperatures between 38°C and 40°C are considered
safe for a healthy adult. Lower water temperatures are recommended for young children and when spa use
exceeds 10 minutes.
b) Since excessive water temperatures have a high potential for causing fetal damage during the early months of
pregnancy, pregnant or possibly pregnant women should limit spa water temperatures to 38°C. Before entering
a spa or hot tub, the user should measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer since the
tolerance of water temperature-regulating devices varies.
d) The use of alcohol, drugs, or medication before or during spa or hot tub use may lead to unconsciousness with
the possibility of drowning.
e) Obese persons and persons with a history of heart disease, low or high blood pressure, circulatory system
problems, or diabetes should consult a physician before using a spa.
f) Persons using medication should consult a physician before using a spa or hot tub since some medication
may induce drowsiness while other medication may affect heart rate, blood pressure, and circulation.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock - Install the controller at least 3.5 metres from the inside wall of the pool and/or hot tub
using non-metallic plumbing.
This appliance is not intended for use by persons (including children) with reduced physical, sensory or mental
capabilities, or lack of experience and knowledge, unless they have been given supervision or instruction
concerning use of the appliance by a person responsible for their safety.
Children should be supervised to ensure that they do not play with the appliance.
Children should not use spas or hot tubs without adult supervision.
Do not use spas or hot tubs unless all suction guards are installed to prevent body and hair entrapment.
WARNING
To avoid injury ensure that you use this control system to control only packaged pool/spa heaters which have built-
in operating and high limit controls to limit water temperature for pool/spa applications. This device should not be
relied upon as a safety limit control.

Page 4 eXO®| Installation Manual
CAUTION
Power to the Aqualink TRI should be supplied by an isolating transformer or through a residual current device
(RCD) with a rated residual operating current not exceeding 30mA.
SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS
WARNING
People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.
Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible
drowning.
Before entering a spa or hot tub, measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 3.5 metres of a spa or
hot tub.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
Water temperature in excess of 38°C may be hazardous to your health.
Attention Installer: Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.
WARNING
A terminal bar marked "GROUND" is provided within the controller. To reduce the risk of electrical shock which can
cause serious injury or death, connect this terminal bar to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply
panel with a continuous copper conductor having green insulation and one that is equivalent in size to the circuit
conductors supplying this equipment in accordance with SANS 10142-1. In addition, where required, bonding

7.2.4 Boost Mode
In some cases, the pool may require a higher than
normal chlorination level such as in cases of high
use, poor weather or at the start of the season. Boost
mode is used to increase the chlorine level quickly.
Boost mode lasts for 24 cumulative hours at 100%
production output. If the program is set to perform
chlorination 12 hours per day, Boost mode will be
active for 12 hours on the first day and 12 hours
on the second day. If the filter pump is connected
to the controller, the filter pump will operate in
Boost mode also. The controllers operating times
including filtration schedules are temporarily
Wi-Fi to phone connection

Page 17
Page 16 eXO®| Installation Manual
ignored for the duration of the Boost mode. Once
Boost mode completes, the controller and filter
pump will resume programmed operations.
NOTE: If the device is equipped with a Dual Link
module, the Boost mode will not take the ORP
value into account. The Boost mode takes
priority over the ORP regulation
1. Press .
23:04 ON
BOOST MODE 23:59
2. If the controller is in Low/Cover mode you will
need to conrm that you want Boost mode to
override Cover or Low mode settings.
7.2.5 Low Mode
Low mode is designed to reduce chlorine
production in situations where the pool is covered
or when pool use is limited. Chlorine production
needs will be lower when pool use is low and/or
when pool water is not exposed to UV rays etc.
Low mode output can be set in the main menu
settings for Low mode. Low can be set from
0%-30% in 10% increments. Programs are still
active while the controller is in Low/Cover mode.
1. To manually enter Low mode press .
2. To exit Low mode press again.
23:04 ON
LOW MODE 10%
7.2.6 Cover Mode
If the pool is equipped with a compatible electric roller
cover, this can be connected to the controller in order
to automatically reduce chlorination upon closing the
cover, this is known as Cover mode, see Table 5 and
Figure 10 for wiring details. Chlorination will resume
at the level determined by the programming upon
opening the compatible electric cover.
Cover mode output can be set in the main menu
settings for Low mode. Low can be set from
0%-30% in 10% increments. Programs are still
active while the controller is in Low/Cover mode.
Check that the cover is compatible and connected
to the chlorinator.
Cover mode will automatically be activated when
the cover is closed. The Cover mode message and
the output percentage are displayed on the screen.
23:04 ON
COVER MODE 10%
Cover mode will stop as soon as the cover is
completely open.
If the controller is equipped with a Dual Link
module we do not recommend connecting the
Cover mode. More specifically, chlorination is
managed via the Dual Link module. In cases where
the Cover mode is connected in the presence of
a Dual Link module: chlorination will take place
upon closing the roller cover, even if the ORP
measurement is greater than the setpoint value.
7.2.7 Cold Water Protection
In addition to recording and displaying the water
temperature, the temperature sensor is used to
protect the cell, which is sensitive to cold water.
The temperature displayed on the top left of the
home screen will begin to flash at 15°C.
23:04 ON15°
When water temperature is under or equal to 15°C,
chlorine production automatically switches to the
level defined in Low/Cover mode.
When water temperature is under or equal to 10°C,
chlorine production is stopped. The absence of
chlorination at this temperature is not hazardous,
as bacterial development is slowed in cold water.
In addition to the flashing temperature, a “LOW
TEMPERATURE” message is alternately
displayed.
When the temperature goes over 10°C again, the
output percentage will be set to Low/Cover.
When the temperature goes over 15°C again,
chlorination resumes its level of operation
configured using programs.
7.2.8 Locking the Controller
The controller can be locked, thus deactivating the
buttons on the user interface panel. Simultaneously
press and hold the and buttons for 3
seconds. This function can be accessed from any
screen/menu.
Locking the controller automatically returns the user to
the home screen. To unlock the controller, press and
hold the and buttons for another 3 seconds.
