PoolWarden

measures pH, sanitizer and temperature on up to two bodies of water and will control

the appropriate feed equipment to keep the measurements within a preprogrammed range. Using ORP

(oxidation reduction potential) technology the control of sanitizer takes into account the effects of pH, and

a pH lockout feature is also included for high pH values. Controls chemical feed equipment using relays to

keep the pool or spa water in balance. Water measurements are taken continuously while PoolWarden's

internal relay programing determines if chemical adjustments are needed. PoolWarden then

communicates the adjustment signals through relays which control the chemical feed equipment.

PoolWarden also contains additional dry-contact auxiliary relays that can be used to control

heaters, pumps, chlorine backup and external alarm notifications.

When adding the PW-Plus communication module, the software feature set will also be updated. Where

there are differences that will be pointed out.

System Components

� CONTROLLER: PoolWarden is a microprocessor based, modular automation system that is capable of

continuous monitoring locally onsite or remotely offsite.

� INTERFACE: PoolWarden uses a 16-button built in keypad, and an easy to read 80 character liquid crystal

display. The display's internal back-light provides controller viewing in pool rooms with low light.

� MEMORY: PoolWarden is designed with nonvolatile memory which preserves all internal programming in case

of power loss. Internal memory is preserved for up to 10 years without having power applied.

� RELAYS: PoolWarden S (single pool) includes 4 relays (2 of which are dry contact relays). PoolWarden

D (two pools) includes 8 relays. Four of the 8 relays are dry contact relays (2 for each body of water).

� SENSORS: ORP, pH, Temperature, flow and optional free chlorine.

� VOLTAGE: Requires 120VAC input voltage in North America and 240VAC input voltage in Europe.

� SECURITY: PoolWarden is designed with a lockable enclosure and provides up to four levels of password

security protection (Admin, Tech, Service and Guest) for both local onsite and remote offsite interaction with the

controller.

� COMMUNICATION: PoolWarden can connect to the Internet for direct monitoring, setup, and data interface by

adding the PW-Plus communication module which adds WIFI and Ethernet.

� DATA: PoolWarden will record up to 8192 lines of data with the built in internal memory. There is no limit when

adding the PW-Plus communication device

� HEATERS: Auxiliary relays can control pool heaters with up to two set-points for each day to facilitate

energy management.

� PUMP CONTROL: Auxiliary relays can be setup as a simple timer for controlling the on/off state of

main pumps.

� OVERFEED PROTECTION: PoolWarden is designed with 2 types of overfeed protection. Standard overfeed

limits the amount of time a relay can turn on feed equipment in a 24-Hour period.

� PROPORTIONAL/SPAN CONTROL: Proportionally reduces the on-time as the measurement gets closer to the

set-point to prevent overshoot.

� E-MAIL ALERTS: The data server provides support for 4 email addresses and 4 phone numbers for texts.

� AUXILIARY RELAYS: Auxiliary relays can control additional / backup sanitizer or acid feed pumps.

� PRINTING: Bluetooth printing when adding the PW-Plus communication module.

� SOFTWARE UPDATING: PW-Plus supports immediate software updating over the Internet.
