Control box 230 mm 120 mm 340 mm 1.4 I Operating principle The chlorinator is composed of an electrolytic cell (containing electrodes) and a control box. When the salt water from the swimming pool passes through the cell, the current generated by the electrodes creates an electrolytic reaction which transforms the chloride ions (from the salt in the swimming pool) into chlorine gas. Chlorine gas is a powerful disinfectant and is instantly dissolved in water. It then reverts back into salt under the action of UV radiation and also because of the need for disinfectant resulting from use of the pool (organic matter). The chlorinator therefore generates a cyclic reaction designed to produce chlorine. EN 6
2❷ Installing the salt water chlorinator 2.1 I Installing the electrolytic cell • The cell must always be the last element placed on the pool return pipe (see § “2.1.1. Installing the cell and the sensor holder (depending on model)”). • It is always recommended to install the cell on a by-pass. This assembly is mandatory if the flow is in excess of 18 m³/hour to avoid head loss. A flow regulation valve must be included. • When the cell is installed on a by-pass, fit a check valve downstream from the cell instead of a manual valve, to avoid any risk of incorrect configuration and poor circulation inside the cell. 2.1.1. Installing the cell and the sensor holder (depending on model) • The cell must be installed on the piping after the filtration system, after any measurement sensors, and after any heating system. • The cell's installation must allow easy access to the installed electrodes. • Two valves must be installed for isolating the cell from the rest of the installation, so that maintenance tasks can be performed without emptying the pool. Installing the chlorinator on a by-pass (recommended) Direct installation Control box Cell Flow switch Filter Electric terminal block Sensor holder + pH sensor and/or ORP sensor* pH pump* Container of pH-minus* Direct installation is only possible if the flow rate is going up. (*depending on model) • Respect the water flow direction indicated on the cell. • The circulation system must guarantee the minimum required flow (see§ “1.2 I Technical specifications”). • For Ø50 mm pipes, use glue-on PVC adapters of the corresponding diameter. • Connect the cell power cord following the wire colour codes (red, yellow, and orange connectors) and then refit the protective cap (see § “2.1.3. Connecting the cell to the control box”). 7 Outlet Inlet
2.1.2. Connecting the cell and the sensor holder • Do not glue sensor holder and cell directly together : use a PVC union coupler (not included) between sensor holder and cell. It is also possible to use a 6-to-8 cm PVC tube, Ø63 cm, with one beveled end (the one to glue to the cell inlet) and a PVC sleeve (to glue between the PVC tube and the sensor holder). For connecting the cell and the sensor holder : • Degrease the sensor holder, the cell inlet and the PVC union with PVC cleaner (not supplied). • Glue the sensor holder and the female union and fit them into each other as far as it will go. Remove any excess glue with a damp cloth. • Glue the cell inlet and the male union and fit them into each other as far as it will go. Remove any excess glue with a damp cloth. PVC union coupler Connecting the cell and the sensor holder 2.1.3. Connecting the cell to the control box • Open the cell protective cap by turning it anti-clockwise. • Identify the function of each wire (red, yellow, orange) in the power cable. EN PVC sleeve PVC pipe (fitted into the cell) Cable colour Function Red Electrolysis Red Electrolysis Yellow AUX / Conductivity Orange Temperature 8
• Identify the input points on the cell for each function, according to the appliance model: 9
• Attach the connectors by successively installing the terminals, washers, and nuts (see following table). • Carefully tighten the top nut by hand (risk of irreversible leakage). eXPERT 7 exPERT 12 eXPERT 21 eXPERT 30 exPERT 40 • Connect the cell to the control box, see§ “2.5 I Installing the control box”. EN 10
2.2 I Installing the flow switch • Failure to comply with these instructions could lead to the destruction of the cell. The manufacturer cannot be liable in this case. • The flow switch has a direction for installation (arrow indicated on it showing the flow direction for the water). Make sure that it is correctly placed on its fixture collar so that it stops the appliance's production when filtering is stopped. • The flow switch and its fixture collar (supplied) must be installed just in front of the cell and after a possible valve, in the flow section that supplies the cell. • Tighten the nuts by hand. Installation of the flow switch and the installation kit 11 G 3/4 F G 3/4 M G 1/2 M G 1/2 F
2.3 I Installing the sensors (pH & pH/ORP, depending on model) • Never wipe the sensor using a cloth or paper tissue, as this may damage it. • A badly-installed sensor may give false readings and cause inappropriate operation of the appliance. Neither the manufacturer nor the appliance shall be liable in this event. • Carefully unscrew the protection tube from the sensor ( ). Keep the protection tube for storing the sensor over winter. • Rinse the end of the sensor with tap water and shake off excess water ( ). • Loosen the nut fixed to the sensor holder ( ). • Install the pH sensor and/or the ORP sensor (supplied) in the sensor holder so that the sensor located at the end of the holder is always submerged in the water flowing through the piping( ). Ensure that the cable is not tangled. • To avoid damage, sensor end must be located in the center of the pipe, not further. • The sensor must always be installed vertically, or where necessary, at a maximum angle of 40°( ). • Once the sensor is installed it can be connected to the BNC socket on the control box, see § “2.5.2. Connecting the control box” ). • The sensor must then be calibrated, see § “4.4 I Calibrating the sensors (pH or pH/ORP models)”. ORP pH 40° EN 12
2.4 I Installing the pH pump (pH & pH/ORP, depending on model) • When handling chemical products, always use appropriate safety equipment (safety glasses, gloves, jacket and mask). • The pH pump is a peristaltic pump that rotates in the clockwise direction: it sucks up acid (pH-minus) to inject into the pool. 2.4.1. Installing the pH minus injection line • Cut a suitable length of white hose from the coil (supplied) to connect the ppH pump to the injection check valve. • Unscrew the connector cap and attach the hose to the connector at the outlet of the pH pump, see figure . Screw the cap in place. • Attach the other end of the hose to the injection check valve, see figure . 13 : Support tip : Ceramic weight : pH-minus container : Suction hose : pH pump : Inlet : Outlet : Injection hose : Injection check valve
2.4.2. Installing the pH minus suction line • Cut a suitable length of transparent hose from the coil (supplied) to connect the container of pH-minus to the pH pump. • Unscrew the connector cap and attach the hose to the connector at the inlet of the pH pump, see figure . Screw the cap in place. • Drill two holes into the cap of the pH minus container, see figure : - One hole suitable for the diameter of the hose ( )to aspirate the product. - One smaller hole to prevent the container from becoming deformed during aspiration of the product. • Pass the free end of the suction hose ( ) through the hole made in the cap ( ) and put the ceramic weight pro vided ( ) and the support tip on the hose, see figure . • Ensure that all connections are correct and watertight before operating the appliance. Do not place the pH-minus container directly beneath electrical equipment in the technical room to prevent risk of corrosion resulting from potential acidic vapours. EN pH-minus 14
2.5 I Installing the control box 2.5.1. Placement of the control box • The control box must be installed in a dry ventilated technical room protected against frost, with no pool maintenance products or similar products stored nearby. • The control box must be installed at a distance of at least 3.5 m from the outside edge of the pool. Always comply with the installation codes and/or laws applicable at the place of installation. • It must not be installed more than 1.6 metres from the cell (maximum cable length). • If the box is fixed to a post, a watertight panel must be fixed behind the control box (350x250 mm minimum): - Secure the mounting (provided) to the wall or to the watertight panel using screws or wall plugs (not provided) (figure ). - Clip the top of the control box into the mount (figure ). 15
2.5.2. Connecting the control box • Before beginning, disconnect all potential power supplies to the appliance. • Check that the cables used comply with the intended use and with the regulations in force. • Identify the connection point for each desired function at the bottom of the control box: pH ORP Electrolysis cell pH sensor (BNC connector)* ORP sensor (BNC connector)* ON/OFF switch Power supply (230V, 50-60Hz) controlled by filter pump relay (ON when pump is running) Fuse pH pump* Available space for Modbus cable if controlled with Fluidra Connect automation (NN app) Flow switch (*depending on model) 2.6 I Connecting auxiliary devices 2.6.1.

3❸ Preparing the pool 3.1 I Balance the water The water used must originate from a supply network compliant with Directive 98/83/EC on the quality of water intended for human consumption. In order for the water to be treated optimally, carry out measurements and adjust the values in accordance with the following recommendations: Seasonal analyses in "preparation for re-use" - Stabiliser (cyanuric acid) (<30 mg/L, ppm): the stabiliser protects chlorine from the destructive power of the sun's U.V. rays. Excessive stabiliser can block the disinfecting power of chlorine and turn the water turbid. - Metals (Cu, Fe, Mn) (± 0 mg/L, ppm): metals damage the metallic parts of the pool (corrosion phenomenon) or can cause permanent stains. Monthly analyses - TH (150 - 300 mg/L CaCO3 , ppm): the TH measures the water hardness (quantity of calcium carbonate), and this value can vary significantly depending on the geographical region concerned. - TA (80 -150 mg/L CaCO3 , ppm): the TA measures the water alkalinity, and this value allows the pH to be stabilised. It is important that the TA is adjusted before the pH. Weekly analyses - pH (7.0 - 7.4): the pH measures the acidity or alkalinity of the water. A pH in the range 7.0 to 7.4 helps to preserve the pool equipment and maintain effective disinfection. Taylor's balance method, as shown below, is used to adjust the pH value: TA pH TH Taylor's balance - Free chlorine (0.5 - 2 mg/L or ppm): this quantity of free chlorine makes the water both disinfected and disinfecting. Contact your retailer to determine the type of corrector product or automatic control appliance to be used to adjust the values. 19 : Mark the value of the TH after adjustment. : Mark the value of the TA after adjustment. : Draw a line between the TH value and the TA value to determine the pH value to be adjusted.
3.2 I Add salt Every appliance must be operated with a minimum recommended salt level, see § “1.2 I Technical specifications”. In order for the chlorinator appliance to operate properly, and to protect the equipment, we recommend using salt (sodium chloride) as per standard EN 16401. 3.2.1. Determining the quantity of salt to be used when installing the appliance Example: A. Appliance operating with 4 kg of salt per m³ of water (=4g/L or 4000 ppm). B. Appliance operating with 5 kg of salt per m³ of water (=5g/L or 5000 ppm). • 50m³ pool. The formula: A. 50m3 x 4 kg of salt/m³ = 200 kg of salt to be added to the water B. 50m3 x 5 kg of salt/m³ = 250 kg of salt to be added to the water 3.2.2. Routine analyses Check the salt level quarterly and readjust the quantity of salt present where necessary. ==> Method for adding salt to the water • Start the filter pump to cause the water in the pool to circulate. • If the appliance has already been installed, switch it off. • Move around the perimeter of the pool while pouring the required quantity of salt into the water to help disso lution. Add the salt in stages. It is easier to add salt to make up for an insufficient quantity that to dilute the salt present to make up for an excessive quantity. • Operate the filter pump for 24 hours. • After 24 hours have passed, check that the salinity level in the pool is correct, i.e. 4g/litre or 5g/litre (in the exam ples cited). • If the salt level is correct and the appliance has already been installed, switch it on then adjust the desired level of chlorine production, see § “4.2.1. Adjusting chlorine production”. Do not add salt directly in the skimmer(s). The appliance must only be switched on when the salt has completely dissolved in the pool. EN 20

Current sensor measurement
Setpoint5❺ Remote control using Fluidra Connect and NN app 5.1 I Wiring the chlorinator to Fluidra Connect power center The chlorinator is a connectable device: information on the status of the swimming pool can be accessed at any moment (to check the dashboard, change a setting, etc.) from a smartphone or tablet via the Fluidra Connect NN app. For this, the chlorinator must first be connected to a Connect & Go automation power center, following the connection method shown below. • It’s strongly advised to use a specific RS485 cable to wire the chlorinator to the Connect & Go power center. If not available, an Ethernet cable can be used (RJ45 connectors cannot be used). • The Fluidra Connect NN app also provides the possibility to locate professionals who can remotely check the swimming pool, access the measurement history, and display errors through a Fluidra Connect service platform. Connect & Go automation unit Chlorinator Connections: A D+ BLUE GND COM BROWN B D- WHITE EN 34
5.2 I Managing the chlorinator remotely with NN app Before you install the app, you must: • Use a Wi-Fi-enabled smartphone or tablet, • Use a Wi-Fi network with a reasonably strong signal when connecting to the chlorinator. • Have your home Wi-Fi network password at the ready. • Download the Fluidra Connect NN app from the App Store or Google Play Store. • Connect to your account or register to create an account (first-time use). • Access your pool settings or adjust setpoints remotely. Access the pool settings from the "Dashboard" tab 35 Adjust the setpoints from the "Devices" tab
6❻ Maintenance 6.1 I Sensor maintenance The sensors must be cleaned every 2 months. • Stop the filter pump. • Close all valves. • Remove the sensor and the sensor holder. • Rinse the sensor in tap water for 1 minute. • Shake it to remove any residual water. To prevent damage to the active part, do not rub and do not dry with a cloth. • Brush the junctions and the metal part (Gold) for the ORP sensor using a toothbrush for 1 minute. • Prepare a solution of diluted hydrochloric acid by pouring 1 mL (10 drops) of commercially-available hydrochloric acid (HCl 37 %) into 50 mL of tap water (1/2 glass of water). • Hydrochloric acid is a hazardous chemical that may cause burns, lesions and irritations. Handle with care and use protective equipment (gloves, safety glasses, overalls). Refer to the product's MSDS for more information. • Always pour the acid into the water. • Once cleaning is complete, dispose of the solution according to the standard in force in the country of use. • Wash the sensor in the diluted hydrochloric acid solution for 2 minutes. • Rinse the sensor in clean water under the tap for 1 minute. • Shake it to remove any residual water. • Then calibrate the sensor, see § “4.4 I Calibrating the sensors (pH or pH/ORP models)”. • Replace the sensor holder and the sensor. EN 36
6.2 I Inspecting and cleaning the electrodes The appliance is equipped with a smart polarity inversion system designed to prevent the electrode plates from scaling. The polarity reversal time can be modified, see § “4.3.4. “Reverse direct”: Reversal adjustment for cell cleaning”. However cleaning may be required in regions where the water is very hard. • Turn off the appliance and the filtration system, close the isolation valves, remove the protection cover and discon nect the cell power cable. • Unscrew the tightening ring and remove the cell. The ring is crenelated thus allowing a lever to be used in the event of it jamming (see figure ). • Submerge the part containing the electrode plates in a suitable recipient containing a cleaning solution (see figure ). • Leave the cleaning solution to dissolve the scale deposit for about 10 minutes. Dispose of the cleaning solution at an approved waste recycling site. Never pour into the rainwater drainage system or into the sewers. • Rinse the electrode using clean water and put it back on the cell fixture collar (there is an alignment foolproofer). • Refit the tightening ring, reconnect the cell cable and refit the protective cover. • Re-open the isolation valves and restart the filtering system and appliance. If you are not using a commercially-available cleaning solution, you can make your own by carefully mixing 1 part hydrochloric acid with 10 parts water. (Caution: always pour the acid into the water and not the opposite and wear suitable protective equipment). 37
6.3 I Peristaltic pump maintenance • To prevent the pump from operating when empty, check the level of the pH-Minus (acid) container every 2 to 12 months, depending on your installation (see table below). HYDROCHLORIC ACID HYDROCHLORIC ACID Very corrosive atmosphere (installation not recommended) Corrosive atmosphere (acceptable installation) - Check every 2 to 3 months - Check every 3 to 6 months • To check the correct operation of the pH pump: - Ensure the tube is in good condition ( ) and the connections are correctly sealed, - Check that the tablet holder rotates correctly ( ). SULFURIC ACID EN Non-corrosive atmosphere (recommended installation) - Check every 6 to 12 months 38
6.4 I Winterising The appliance is fitted with a protection system limiting chlorine production in poor operating conditions such as cold water (winter) or low salt. • Active winterising = filtering operational in winter: below 10°C it is preferable to switch off the appliance. Above this temperature you can leave it running. • Passive winterising = lower water level and drained piping: switch off the appliance and leave the cell dry in place with any isolation valves open. • Winterising the sensors = Keep the plastic sensor tube (which contains a storage solution) for re-use when win terising. The sensors must always be stored wet (never dry). They must be stored in the tube filled with a storage solution of 3 mol/L KCl or at least in tap water. 6.5 I Preparing the pool for new season Required actions: • Adjust the water level (too much or too little). • Check the water parameters: TA/TH/pH/Salinity/Chlorine/Stabiliser/Copper/Metals, and adjust the parameters to obtain a balanced, healthy pool, see § “3.1 I Balance the water”. • Check the condition of the equipment (pump, filter, chlorinator, electrolytic cell). • Inspect the sensors, then clean and recalibrate. • As soon as the salt level reaches the required level (4,000 ppm or 5,000 ppm) and has completely dissolved in the water, restart the salt water chlorinator. 39
7❼ Troubleshooting • Before you contact the retailer, carry out these few simple checks using the following table if a problem occurs. • If the problem is not resolved, contact your retailer. • : Actions to be performed by a qualified technician only 7.1 I User alerts Message Possible cause Solution • The appliance automatically exits Calibration mode after two minutes without any action by the user. This message then appears briefly on the screen. • Information only, no issue. • If needed, restart the calibration process from the beginning, see § “4.4 I Calibrating the sensors (pH or pH/ORP models)”. • The value detected during calibration differs greatly from the expected value, making calibration impossible. • Visually check the condition of the sensor and rinse it. • Repeat the measurement in a buffer solution, wait 15 seconds, then recalibrate if the measurement is incorrect. • Clean the sensor or replace if necessary. • The value detected during calibration is unstable, making calibration impossible. • The pH pump fuse is faulty. • Check the pH pump to ensure it’s not damaged. • Replace the pH pump fuse (inside the chlorinator power pack). • pH setpoint has not been reached within allocated time frame. • Check pH value and calibrate the pH sensor if needed. • Check pH pump tubing and container to ensure pH minus can be injected. • Adjust the alarm trigger time, see § “4.3.10. “Pump stop”: pH pump stop over feed alarm (pH - PH/ORP models)”. • Reset the alarm: press • The pH pump has stopped. • Steady red: The temperature setpoint is lower or higher than the measured value (not blocking) • Flashing: Water conductivity problem: the appliance is not reaching 100% production • Check the alarm triggering range (see § “4.3 I Settings that can be accessed in Configuration mode”). • Check the electrode wiring: ensure compliance with the numerical codes and the colours (see § “2.1.3. Connecting the cell to the control box”) • Check the water temperature. • Check the condition of the cell plates. • Measure the salt concentration in the pool water using a salt tester or a test strip, then add salt to the pool to keep the level at 4 or 5 g/L. Consult your retailer if necessary. • Steady red: The salt concentration setpoint is lower or higher than the measured value (not blocking) • Flashing: Water conductivity problem: the appliance is not reaching 100% production • Steady red: The pH setpoint is lower or higher than the measured value (not blocking) • Steady red: The ORP setpoint is lower or higher than the measured value (not blocking) • Check the cell connections. • Replace the cell if necessary: consult your retailer • Short-circuit in the cell or cell not properly connected. • Worn electrode: the cell is worn out EN 40
• Water flow problem: - Filter pump failure, - Filter and/or the skimmer(s) are dirty, - Disconnection or failure of the flow switch. • The appliance has stopped producing. • The appliance is in standby. The blue indicator spins The values are not displayed. Tip: if you require assistance, inform your retailer about the appliance's condition to save time 7.2 I Effects of the stabilising agent on chlorine and ORP A pool ideally has a stabiliser level of 30 ppm and a pH of 7.4. 1 ppm of free chlorine = 700 mV • The user can therefore adjust the chlorination requirements to 700 mV to maintain a level of 1 ppm in the pool. • If the level of stabiliser rises to 90 ppm, the ORP value will be incorrect and 1 ppm of free chlorine will correspond to 500 mV. • If the user keeps the setpoint at 700 mV, a chlorine concentration of 5 ppm will eventually be obtained. Variations in the ORP measurement depending on the stabiliser concentration (pH 7.4, 25°C)*. CHLORINE LEVEL (PPM) ORP MEASUREMENT (MV) * Theoretical values for information purposes only. Real values may vary slightly depending on the type of water in the pool. 41 • Check the pump, the filter, the skimmer(s) and the by-pass valve(s). Clean them if necessary. • Check the wire connections (flow switch). • Check that the flow switch is working correctly: replace it if necessary: contact the retailer) • Increase production. Clearly distinguish the appliance's actual production and the setpoint. • Have the control box checked by a qualified technician. • Unlock the screen (see § “4.1.2. Unlocking the screen”. • Deactivate the energy saving mode so that the values can be read when the device is in standby, see § “4.3.15. User interface energy saving mode”.
