Pool Controls SWC Series User Manual page 10

Choosing a good location
Pool Controls chlorinators are manufactured from weather resistant materials and are
designed for operation in full sun and rain. However, your machine will benefit if it is
protected from the weather.
Choose a well-ventilated area to allow for efficient cooling. Installing the unit in a hot and
closed shed or box may lead to overheating and activate the internal protective thermal
cut-out.
The Power Supply should not be mounted in areas where chemicals are stored (eg acid
and chlorine) as vapours from these chemicals are corrosive and may damage the
electronic controls within the unit.
Insect intrusion (particularly ants) can cause problems with all equipment. Ensure that the
pool equipment area is kept free of insects as much as possible. Insect intrusion is not
covered under the warranty.
Installing the Power Supply
Locate the Power Supply close to the Cell/Housing and filtration pump so that both may be
connected easily.
Mount the Power Supply at least 1.5m above the ground and at least 3m from the pool
water.
Connect Power Supply to the mains power outlet of the pool area and make sure this outlet
meets all applicable Australian Standard at the time of installation.
The PUMP socket outlet in the base of the Power Supply is dedicated to the filtration pump
only. Do not use a double adaptor to connect another pump as this will overload the
system and void warranty.
Installing the Cell
The cell housing assembly should be plumbed into the pool return line after all other
accessories (and prior to any heating take-offs).
Remember that the cell will need to be removed from its housing periodically for cleaning –
do not place it where its removal will be obstructed.
Note any water flow direction on the cell housing and ensure the cell housing is installed so
that water will flow in this direction.
Connect the Cell to the cable from the Power Supply. Ensure that all 3 connections (2 for
cell power and 1 for gas sensing) pushed on all the way. It is important that the connectors
are kept clean and dry. The black cable goes to the top-left power connection, the red
cable to the gas sensor bolt and the blue cable to the bottom-right power connection. See
