    • ® RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - The AutoPilot PRO WC system must be mounted a minimum of 5 ft. (1.5 m) from the pool. CAUTION: Failure to heed the following may result in personal injury or equipment damage.

  • Page 14: Install Kit Installation

    2.9 INSTALL KIT INSTALLATION Confirm all parts listed in the installation kit are available. Follow the diagram below when positioning the parts provided in the installation kit. NOTE: The flow switch must be installed with the arrow facing the bottom of the cell tube.

  • Page 15: Plumbing The System

    2.10 PLUMBING THE SYSTEM ® AutoPilot PRO WC systems require a minimum of 20 gpm of flow through the electrolytic cell to achieve the rated production of chlorine. The cell housing is plumbed using a bypass to achieve the 20 gpm of flow required. The cell return line must be installed after all other components.

  • Page 16: System Wiring

    The electrical supply must match the system rated voltage and current. Ensure that power is linked to the main pump power source for the pool ® to ensure that the AutoPilot PRO WC system never operates when the pool pumps are off.

  • Page 17: Instructions For Adding A Salt Feed Relay

    2.15 BONDING THE SYSTEM ® All AutoPilot PRO WC systems include cell-bonding assemblies. These assemblies are included in the install kit. The bonding assemblies must be connected with a minimum #8 AWG bonding wire. Connect the bonding wire from the top cell grounding assembly to the bottom cell grounding assembly and then from the bottom cell grounding assembly to the bonding lug located on the outside of the power supply.

  • Page 18: Operation

    Never leave large amounts of salt on the surface of the pool. Use only pure NaCl. Do not use salt with additives. Contact your dealer or AquaCal AutoPilot, Inc. for a list of approved salt.

  • Page 19: System Operation

    7. Depending on the model, the system will begin producing chlorine in 10 to 60 seconds. If the AutoPilot® PRO WC system is linked to a chemical feed controller, adjust the output to the system maximum, which will allow for full production every time the controller calls for it. If the system is being operated manually, adjust the system to find the point at which chlorine levels are maintained to the desired level.
  • Page 20 The screen below is displayed when the system detects no flow through the electrolytic cell housing. This condition will stop the system from generating chorine. Once flow is restored, the system will start automatically, and this screen will no longer be active. This screen is displayed if a low salt condition is present.
  • Page 21 The screen below indicates a disconnected or defective salt sensor. This screen will shut the system output off. Reconnect or replace the salt sensor to restore system operation. In order to prevent the system from being cycled on and off rapidly, the system has start delay of 60 seconds.
  • Page 22 Daily system run time can be viewed by pressing and holding the “A” button on the microcontroller for 5 seconds. This system is capable of controlling the salt concentration of the pool with the addition of an external relay (see saturated salt feeder system). The factory set point for salt is 5,000 ppm. The salt set point can be adjusted to any value between 3,000 and 7,000 ppm.
