NSPI recommended ranges or water chemistry must be manually corrected. 1.11 WARNING! Controller uses microprocessor. Wireless communication equipment or other electrical devices operated in close proximity may cause inadvertent actuation of chemical feed pumps. ROLA-CHEM ® Digital Controller PN 554326...
The feed cycle is a timed based ‘feed then delay’ system. The controller has a series of fixed feed times (0.6 to 900 sec.) with associated delays as well as a Continuous feed mode. A feed cycle consists of a feed time plus a delay time. Example: a 30 second feed time ROLA-CHEM ® Digital Controller...
Mode indicator - LED (pH, ORP1, ORP2, Auto) Note: feed lamps flash during the feed time and are on continuously during the delay time of the feed cycle. Operating Temperature: 40 to 120° F ROLA-CHEM ® Digital Controller PN 554326...

The ORP and pH are independently fused to protect the controller from defective feeders. These fuses are located inside the lower panel. The fuse holders are shipped with 3.15 amp fuses. Replacement fuses are 5mm x 20mm Fast Acting IEC. ROLA-CHEM ® Digital Controller...
Note: It is recommended that an inline filter be used to help keep the flowcell (including probes) and flow switch free from debris. Debris may cause obstruction in flow switch and prevent the switch from functioning. ROLA-CHEM ® Digital Controller...
24 hours for the sensors to acclimate to the system so recalibrate 24 hours after the first calibration. The pH sensor calibration should be checked every four to six weeks. If calibration is required more often than probe may need cleaning or replacement. ROLA-CHEM ® Digital Controller...
The controller must be in this mode for the feeders to maintain the desired parameters. ® Note: When using an automatic controller with ROLA-CHEM pumps, the pump switch should be in the CONTINUOUS position (not Timed or Off).
* Pump/feeders must be large enough to reach desired set-points in a relatively short time. Automation using controllers may require larger feeder or more concentrated chemicals than system that uses continuous time controlled feeding (i.e. feeders only). ROLA-CHEM ® Digital Controller PN 554326...

If these two steps are not performed the controller will remain in test mode and it will not operate properly. ® If the error code continues to appear contact ROLA-CHEM service personnel. 6.5 Digital Display numbers flashing * Consecutive Feed Alert Limit has been reached. See appendix for Consecutive Feed Alert Limit details.
#3 OFF factory setting – Unit set to feed acid chemical when pH is over set level. #3 ON – Unit set to feed base chemical when pH is under set level. Switch #4 – no function on this controller. ROLA-CHEM ® Digital Controller...
