About This Product About This Product Electrolysis systems produce chlorine gas by electrolysis. A satu‐ rated solution of sodium chloride (brine) is produced in the brine storage tank included in the scope of delivery. The sodium chloride solution is then electrically decomposed (electrolysis). The resulting chlorine gas and the residual sodium chloride solution brine is siphoned off in the electrolysis system and is mixed together with the water to be treated to form a disinfection solution...

Functional Description 5.2 Operating modes In the standard set-up, production in the system is regulated by an external chlorine and pH controller. The operating mode can be selected in the user menu. There are four standard operating modes: Manual mode "M" On / Off "I"...
Functional Description 5.3.1 pH correction The system optionally has an alkali (lye) metering pump (10), an alkali (lye) tank (9), in which the alkali from the diaphragm cell is collected. The system optionally has an alkali metering pump (18). The alkali metering pump meters the alkali downstream of the water jet pump into the process value (where the pH value is low) according to the pH value displayed.
Requirements relating to the installation site Requirements relating to the installation site NOTICE! The system's installation site should be sufficiently well ventilated. Ventilation can be done technically or naturally. The adequate design of the ventilation system is the responsibility of the operator for the system.
Installation Installation 7.1 Installation, Hydraulic Install the system horizontally on a flat wall. After a week, check whether the hoses are still cor‐ rectly sealed, if necessary tighten the hoses. Refer to the following overview as a guide to the hydraulic installation.

Installation 7.2 Installation, electrical Pay attention to the wiring diagram in the appendix for all electrical connectors. The system is supplied with a mains cable. It is recommended to connect the system to a spe‐ cial power circuit, which has to be fused with 16 A. The electrical installation of these components is described below: 1 - Booster Pump (Optional) 2 - External controller (if available)
Installation 7.2.2 External Controller (if Fitted) „On/Off control“ and also „Control via a pulse output“ , Both with connect the potential-free contact of the chlorine controller to the following terminals: Fig. 10: System terminals. Only with alkali (lye) metering: Connect the potential-free contact of the alkali (lye)/pH controller to the terminals.

Installation 7.2.5 External Enable WARNING! Warning of chlorine gas escape A chlorine bubble can form in the circulation line if [ENABLE] terminal is not correctly assigned and there is no flow in the circulation line. When the flow is reconnected, this chlorine bubble is con‐ veyed into the swimming pool.

Maintenance Maintenance 11.1 General Maintenance Measures Standard maintenance kits Maintenance by your supplier is necessary once a year to ensure that the system operates perfectly. In this, a distinction is made between annual and three-year maintenance. Standard maintenance kits are available. Rinsing the system internally Before working on the system, rinse the system internally to free it from chemicals.
Maintenance Interval Maintenance work If the system stops working, check whether it is a normal control stop or if whether there is „Standby“ ). no external enable condition ( If an unusual situation occurs, check the system again after a short while. If the situation persists, inform the supplier.
Maintenance If the water hardness is incorrect: Check whether the hardness of the supply water matches the set water hardness (last parameter in the „Installer“ menu). Check whether the parameters for the regeneration are set correctly in the Installer menu. 7 minutes of brine pri‐ ming and 20 minutes of rinsing (factory setting).
