  • Page 5: Installation Instructions

    INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS Please note that the installation area should be well ventilated and free of substances that cause corrosion such as fumes from concentrated chemical chlorine, acid and so forth. Failure to ensure a well ventilated area may result in damage to the electronics, voiding warranty. The chlorinator can be mounted in two orientations as shown below, with flow in either direction as indicated by the arrows.
  • Page 6: Locating & Mounting

    LOCATION AND MOUNTING Select a convenient location to mount the chlorinator. The display screen can be difficult to read in direct sunlight, so a shaded area is recommended. The chlorinator must be kept away from chemical storage areas, including acid and direct heat sources. WARNING: The chlorinator contains electronic components which may become damaged if the unit is dropped.
  • Page 7: Connecting The Power

    When deciding on the position of the chlorinator, be sure to consider the cord length (4m for the Australian and New Zealand models, 2m (6.5ft) for international models. IMPORTANT: If the supply cord is damaged, it must be replaced by an authorised Davey service agent.
  • Page 8: Connecting Peripherals & Auxiliary Equipment

    CONNECTING PERIPHERALS Power connections and wiring must be carried out by an authorised electrician. A panel on the back of the electronics enclosure provides access to a low voltage (SELV) terminal block allowing for connection of a pool cover micro switch and demand response signals. AUTOMATIC COVER MODE Automatic Cover Mode is available by connecting a pool cover micro switch (normally open type) across the pool blanket terminals during installation.
  • Page 9 CONNECTING PERIPHERALS (CONT) You can manually override the demand response mode (once during each demand response event) by pressing the up and down buttons simultaneously which will return the chlorinator to normal operation for a period of up to one hour. If the demand response event is still in progress after the override period terminates, the chlorinator will again enter the demand response mode.
  • Page 10: Replacing An Existing Power Source & Cell

    Step 1. Simply cut the existing cell off as shown. Step 2. Glue a 40mm nut & tail (Davey part number 48775B) into a 90° right angled 50mm elbow (this is to ensure that the elbow does not protrude past the width of the original cell), then glue this straight onto the side pipe as shown.
  • Page 11: Pre-Start Up Procedure

    PUMP CONTROL Your chlorinator is intended to be used in conjunction with domestic and light commercial pool pumps. This includes use with non-Davey pumps. For Australian and New Zealand regions the chlorinator provides power to the pool pump to run during filtration cycles.

  • Page 20 MANUAL CLEANING YOUR CELL In hard water environments it may be necessary to manually clean the cell. For this a blanking cap (Davey part Q2358BK) will need to be used and purchased from your Davey Dealer or agent. To clean the cell disconnect your chlorinator from power, close any isolation valves and remove your chlorinator from the pool return line by undoing the unions (taking care not to lose the o-rings).
  • Page 21: Chlorine Production

    CHLORINE PRODUCTION Your chlorinator can produce up to a maximum of 24 grams - (0.0529 lbs) model (DAMC24G) per hour in pool water with a salt level greater than 4000 ppm (and can even run in sea water). It must be run daily to generate sufficient chlorine to sanitise the pool.
  • Page 22 DAILY RUN TIME As chlorination can only occur while your filtration pump is running, you need to ensure that the total pump run time is long enough to circulate all of the water in your pool through the filter at least once per day. Take for example, a 50 kilolitre pool running with a 250 litre per minute pump.
  • Page 23: Troubleshooting

    Call Davey power up. There has been a fault with the power supply. Restart the unit, if this problem reoccurs, call Davey The power supply has overheated and the cell and Ensure that the chlorinator is mounted in a well ventilated and shaded location.
