    The results include elimination of “human error”, accurate and reliable maintenance of chemical levels twenty-four hours a day, compliance with Health Department operating standards, reduced burden on operating staff, and a reduction of chemical usage and costs. The CAT 5000 control- ler and POOLCOMM water quality management website together provide unprecedented control, access and documentation.
  • Page 4 The ideal pH range for pools and spas is 7.4 - 7.6. The CAT 5000 controller is preset from the factory to maintain pH 7.5. If pH is maintained below 7.4 (too acidic), eye irritation, corrosion of equipment, and damage to the pool or spa surface can occur.

  • Page 12 To Select ORP Feed Mode: The CAT 5000 is programmed at the factory to operate in automatic feed mode as the default set- ting. Other ORP feed mode selections include off (disabled), and manual on for a fixed interval up to 25 minutes after which automatic feed will resume.
  • Page 13 To Change The pH Control Mode: The CAT 5000 is programmed at the factory to operate in the acid feed mode by default (when pH exceeds setpoint, the pH chemical feeder is activated). If the sanitizer or other factors of the application cause the pH to decrease, base feed mode must be selected.
  • Page 14 Press ENTER to save your selection. pH Feed: The CAT 5000 by default uses a time-based proportional feed algorithm which enables the control of virtually any body of water without under-feeding or overshooting the setpoint. With some types of chemical feeders, however, it is beneficial to disable proportional feed and feed on a fixed basis.

  • Page 24 Demonstration Mode: The Demo Mode enables the CAT 5000 to be used as a demonstration, training, or sales aid. All functions, menus, and settings of the controller are active except that pH is simulated at 7.5 and ORP is simulated at 650 mV.
  • Page 25 Caution: Demonstration Mode must never be used when the CAT 5000 is connected to active chemical feeders or otherwise in use as a water quality controller. The CAT 5000 is simulating pH and ORP values, and therefore is not sampling the sensors or monitoring water quality.

  • Page 28: System Maintenance

    System Maintenance Cat 5000 Controller Package The CAT 5000 controller unit is virtually maintenance free. Cleaning of the enclosure, front panel and flow cell can be performed using a clean, soft cloth moistened with mild soap and water solution or glass cleaner. Use of abrasives or harsh chemicals may damage the enclosure and membrane switch panel.

    Winterization The sensors should be prepared for storage as outlined above and protected from freezing tem- peratures. Although the CAT 5000 controller is designed to withstand a broad temperature range, winter storage in a secure location may be desirable. The flow cell and poly tubing must be drained prior to exposure to freezing temperatures. Either purge all water using compressed air or thoroughly drain through the valve ports and tubing con- nections.
  • Page 30 Test w/ a CAT 5000 The best way to check for coverage at a facility is to test with an actual CAT 5000. The Transmit data button has been provided specifically for this purpose. Place the CAT 5000 unit where you expect to install it and press the transmit data button.

    Overfeed The pH Overfeed timeout occurs when the CAT 5000 has been feeding chemicals for a time greater than the selected maximum feed time and has not reached its setpoint. A properly selected Overfeed timeout prevents the unit from continuing to feed chemicals when the chemical supply has been diminished or a chemical feeder has become clogged or broken.
