(e.g. metal fence or shed) and ideally not be in direct sunlight. The Ultima LCD screen must be covered by the flap lid for UV protection on all outdoor installation. A wall area of approx. 0.75 m. wide by 1.0 m. high is ideal for mounting your controller. -
Page 6: To Install
Assemble the inlet and outlet PVC valves on the sensor manifold. Remove the protective cap and fit the pH/ORP probe and other probes into the manifold. Install the BLEED solenoid on the manifold and wire the power cable supplied from ULTIMA. (Never leave the bleed solenoid cable unplugged when turning ULTIMA ON) Connect a 20 mm line from the circulating pump discharge line, or system common discharge header, to the inlet of the manifold. -

• TUBEDISCHARGE (2 mt) Routine Testing The use of an Aquarius control system will automatically vary the dosages and maintain good conductivity, ORP and pH control, even where there are wide fluctuations in system load or demand. The principles of “Best Practice” and “Duty of Care” that are the responsibility of the system owner dictate that all systems should be routinely serviced and tested chemically and the results logged. -
Page 8: Electrical Wiring
Only Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) is supplied to the accessible circuit boards inside the enclosure. Sensors may be maintained while the controller is powered. CAUTION: Only a certified electrician or Aquarius Approved Service Technician may remove the protection cover to access the hazardous voltage area. It is required to disconnect the controller from the supply before removing the cover or performing any electrical work, including unplugging and/or replacing SELV circuit boards such as the Motherboard or Probeboard. -
