Supported Auxiliary Dry Contact Loads/Equipment:

� Standard Chemical Feed Pumps: Any Chemical Feed Pump can be connected to an Auxiliary Dry
Contact Relay as shown in PICTURE 4 on the previous page. This may be needed to set up a back up
sanitizer to the main sanitation control. A black wire 110 VAC jumper is needed to energize the dry
contact for 110 VAC operation and two jumpers for 240 VAC operation..
� Chlorine Generators: A high power chlorine generator should not be powered using PoolWarden's
internal power as it may exceed the input 2.5 AMP relay rating. Simply connect an auxiliary dry contact
to control the on/off status of the generator. When PoolWarden's relay turns on, while the flow switch is
on, then the chlorine generator will turn on. When the relay is turned off it makes the chlorine generator
think there is no flow, and the chlorine generator will turn off.
� Loads / Equipment Using External 24 VAC (Erosion Feeders & Suction Side Cal Hypo): Solenoids are
used to control water flow through a chlorine erosion feeders and suction side cal hypo systems and
most use 24 VAC. Install a 24 VAC Transformer external to the PoolWarden and connect one of the
output leads to an AUX#C1 relay and connect the AUX DRY#NO1 to the solenoid as shown in
PICTURE 5. Connect the other 24 VAC Transformer wire to the remaining solenoid wire (C). If the 24
VAC Transformer has a an output ground wire then connect it to one of the Ground terminals on the
relay board.
� Circulation Pumps: Never connect a circulation pump directly to any of the relays inside PoolWarden.
Always use an external High-Power Relay that the Auxiliary Dry Contact Relay inside PoolWarden can
control. Please refer to the circulation pump's manual for proper set-up and control of a variable speed
pump.
� External Alarms (Light or Sound): If a more noticeable alarm notification is needed beyond the red LED
on PoolWarden's front panel, a relay can be set up to output the alarm status to an external buzzer or
light.
