Install the power pack

Use the template provided to fit the 2 mounting screws to a wall or post. Keep the head of the screws sitting
up by 10mm - 15mm. Now hang the power pack into position by locating the keyhole slots on the rear and
slide down into position over the head of the screws (If the power pack is to be installed on a post then it must
be centrally positioned on a flat panel of suitable waterproof material at least 300mm wide by 450mm high.)
• Do not enclose the power pack in a box.
• Do not install it above any other heat source.
• A shaded position away from rain and direct sunlight is preferable, though not essential.
Fit the colour coded connectors on the cell lead to the posts on the cell housing.
Plug filter pump (one only) into the 3-pin socket in the base of the power pack. The chlorinator time switch will
control both the chlorinator and filter pump.

Safety features

A 'Check Salt' warning appears on screen to alert the pool operator that the salt concentration in the pool
has dropped below a preset critical value. More salt should be added. Note the CHECK SALT warning will be
displayed if the water temperature of the pool drops to low temperatures or if the cell is damaged or needs
replacement. Consult Zodiac or your local pool shop for details.

Preparing the pool: water balance

It is essential 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 in
the future once the chlorinator has been set up. Note that parameters are in PPM (parts per million).
Even though it is an autonomous system, it is essential to regularly analyse the water to check the water
balance parameters and adjust them if necessary.
