Page 4: Check Material On Delivery
DELIVERY CHECK MATERIAL ON DELIVERY APPARENT DAMAGE ON DELIVERY The system was properly packed and accepted by the freight carrier for the shipment. It is their responsibility to deliver the system in perfect condition. If the equipment or boxes are damaged customer will need to indicate (DAMAGED IN TRANSIT) on the carrier’s freight bill of lading.
Page 5 AVOID THE FOLLOWING INSTALLATION MISSTEPS THAT WILL VOID WARRANTY Installing a cabinet inside a box, shed decorative rock or other enclosures. Cabinet is • designed to ventilate compressor/motor exhaust. Compressor air requires significate energy and generates heat. The cabinet has high-capacity cooling fans to reduce the heat. Cabinet is powder coated in a light color to reduce temperatures.
Page 6: Safety/Warnings
SAFETY/WARNINGS Risk of electric shock - this pump is supplied with a grounding conductor and grounding-type. To reduce risk of electric shock, be certain that it is connected only to a properly grounded. An improper connection to the aerator grounding conductor can result in electrical shock. Children being supervised are not to play with the system.
Page 7 When in or around water, wear a Coast Guard approved life jacket and follow all water safety guidelines. Refer to these instructions as needed in order to ensure the safe operation of the aerator. When on site with performance issues call AquaElite Compressor fan, outlet or any other electrical component is in need of service.

Page 15 Solar Panels Wired in Series-(amount of panels may vary). When solar panels are wired in series, the positive terminal of one solar panel is wired to the negative terminal of the next solar panel. When panels are connected in series: Voltage accumulates (adds) for each panel in series.
Page 16: Installation Instructions
The AquaElite Electric Aerator is designed to help keep your pond clean and healthy year around. We hope you enjoy your Aeration system for many years to come. INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS On install decide on placement of cabinet and solar array. Once determined the position of the cabinet level the ground where placing the cabinet.
Page 17 LOWERING DIFFUSERS ATTACHING AIRLINE We suggest installing your diffuser into the deep part of the pond to ensure complete circulation of your water. For diffusers with a weighted base plate, lower the diffuser down to the bottom of the pond. Using rope will help with control the diffuser sinking to bottom of the pond.
Page 18 FIRST TIME AND SPRING STARTUP To prevent a fish kill, AQUAELITE has created the following general start-up procedures, this should take 6 days. We recommend turning your electric aerator on for an hour the first day, then turn system off the remainder of the day. Next day increase the time by doubling your hours each day until it is running continuously.

Save these instructions for future • reference on operation and maintenance. WARNING Danger of battery explosion from sparking. • Danger of electric shock. •...
Page 20 AUTOMATIC BATTERY VOLTAGE DETECTION The solar charger automatically detects supported (e.g 12V, or 24V) system voltage (battery voltage) on first power up. If a different system voltage is required at a later stage, or if the solar charger is connected to a 36V system, this can be manually configured in the solar charger settings. OPTIMAL SOLAR YIELD The solar charger has an innovative tracking algorithm.
Page 21 VICTRONCONNECT APP VictronConnect App can be used to: Monitor the solar charger and view real time solar and battery data. • Operate solar charger features. • Access up to 30 days historical data and error history. • Configure solar charger settings. •...
Page 22: Bluetooth Setup
BLUETOOTH SET-UP The VictronConnect App can be downloaded from app stores or from the Victron Energy downloads page. The app is available for the following platforms: Android • Apple iOS (Note that USB is not • supported, it is only possible to connect Where to download the VictronConnect App from via Bluetooth) MacOs...
Page 23: Battery Life
LOAD OUTPUT The DC loads in the system can be connected to the load output. The load output is controlled by the solar charger and will disconnect the loads in case of a low battery voltage. This will prevent a too deeply discharged battery. The disconnect voltage of the load output and the battery management algorithm can be selected.
Page 24: Battery Charging
BATTERY CHARGING Adaptive 3-stage battery charging. The solar charger is a 3-stage charger. The charge stages are: Bulk – Absorption – Float. BULK During the bulk stage the solar charger delivers the maximum charge current, to rapidly charge the batteries. During this stage the battery voltage will slowly increase. Once the battery voltage has reached the set absorption voltage, the bulk stage stops and the absorption stage will commence.
Page 25: Internal Temperature Sensor
INTERNAL TEMPERATURE SENSOR The solar charger has a built-in internal temperature sensor. (MUST be Disabled) The internal temperature is used to set the temperature compensated charge voltages. For this, the internal temperature when the solar charger is “cold” is used. The solar charger is “cold” when there is only little current flowing into the battery.
Page 26: Operation
OPERATION START UP The solar charger will power up as soon as it has been connected to a battery and/or to a solar panel. As soon as the solar charger has been powered up, it can communicate via the VE.Direct port and Bluetooth.
Page 27: Led Indications
LED INDICATIONS The solar charger has three LEDs to indicate operational status, a blue, green and a yellow LED. These LEDs respectively indicate the charge stages bulk, absorption and float, but are also used to indicate other charge situations and fault situations. Errors are indicated via a combination of LEDs that are on, off, or are blinking.

Page 31 COMPRESSOR SERVICE KIT FOR USE ON MODEL 2320ZC36/24W COMPRESSORS WARNING! Unplug the compressor before beginning disassembly. CAUTION! Improper assembly or use of damaged parts may lead to premature failure. To avoid frequent repairs follow the recommended assembly procedures. THIS KIT INCLUDES THE FOLLOWING PARTS: 2X Cylinder Sleeve 2X Piston Cup 2X Retainer...
Page 32 DISASSEMBLY STEP 1. Clean loose dirt from the outside of the compressor. STEP 2. Loosen the 4 head screws (1) with Torx T-25 and remove compressor head (2) (discard 4 head screws). Note orientation of head and valve plates for reassembly (very important). Gently remove the cylinder sleeve (6) and o-rings (5) and discard.
Page 33 STEP 5. Install the new head gasket into head and seating it firmly into the groove with your finger, set aside. Align valve plate assembly to head, tighten screw to 40-45 in/lbs (See Figure 2). STEP 6. Figure 2 Loosen front covers by backing out 1/2-1 turn so you can pull off the cover and the control box stays in place.
Page 34 STEP 9. Carefully place new sleeve (1) over connecting rod top or groove side up (Figure 4 & 6). Place new cup (4) in center of the retainer (2). Do not damage the cup. (counterbore up), making sure that the cup inside diameter is seated properly over retaining boss.
Page 35 STEP 12. Hold the sleeve down against the housing with one hand, and slowly rotate the eccentric with the other hand to ensure all components are lined up properly. As the piston travels up and down it will also rock from side to side. This is a feature of the WOB-L Piston. Repeat steps 6-11 on the other side of compressor.
Page 36: Routine Maintenance
COMPRESSOR ROUTINE MAINTENANCE System should be checked on a regular basis. Suggested every other week check boils in lake. At the least once a month clear any grass or weed debris from around cabinet. When compressor has a loss of compression the boils “Bubbles” in the lake will be not as visible or the boil area becomes smaller from shore.
