An IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator system consists of one or more of the following:
•
IC15 Cell and Power Center (P/N 520888):
up to 55,600 L (14,688 Gal). The cell will produce the equivalent of 0.278 kg of pure chlorine per
24 hours of continuous pool pump run time.
•
IntelliChlor "dummy" bypass cell (P/N 520588):
IntelliChlor SCG Control Panel and Cell Description
The IntelliChlor Salt Chlorine Generator (SCG) includes a control panel with buttons and LED
indicators to control the SCG and produce chlorine. The SCG measures the water temperature
and salt level to produce chlorine at the defined output. If the salt level in the pool water is too low
(red on salt display), the cell is turned off until salt is added to the pool. The controller has a self-
cleaning cycle which reverses the cell polarity, reducing calcium buildup. This feature turns the
cell on and off at regular intervals to minimize calcium and scale buildup and further maximizes
cell life.
The SCG contains the control electronics and bipolar electrodes that electrically produce chlorine
when energized with DC current. Chlorine is generated as pool water containing salt passes
through the cell. The chlorine production can be varied by either adjusting the sanitizer output level
on the control panel and/or by varying the number of hours the SCG is on each day. The SCG
automatically reverses the cell electrode blades every few hours to help clean the cell. This
process does not interrupt the production of Chlorine. The SCG also contains a mechanical
flow sensor to ensure the proper amount of water is passing through the cell to allow chlorination to
occur. The SCG automatically measures the water salinity and temperature and displays three (3)
salinity ranges on the control panel using LED indicators. The SCG includes a 4.5 m (15 ft.) UL
approved four conductor 16-gauge cable for connection to the Power Center.
• Flow Sensor: A flow sensor assures that there will always be adequate water flow
through the SCG. If the SCG is not properly plumbed and/or does not receive adequate
water flow, no chlorine will be produced.
• Temperature Sensor: To protect the SCG from operation and potential damage when
the temperature of the pool water falls below 11° C, ±1.67° C (52° F, ±3° F), the
temperature sensor switches the SCG off, illuminates the COLD WATER light and no
chlorine will be produced.
• Salt Sensor: Two (2) salt sensor probes in the SCG are activated each time the SCG is
switched on and again during every 12 hours of continuous running. At each of those
times, the salt level LED indicator lights flash in a scrolling sequence for two (2) minutes
to indicate that the SCG is in analysis mode. After two (2) minutes, the LED indicators
lights will signal one (1) of three (3) salinity ranges. For more information, see "Salt Level
Status LEDs" on page 7.
Note: The salt sensor reading is within +/- 500 ppm accuracy.
