SAFETY PRECAUTIONS PLEASE READ THIS USER MANUAL completely before installing or operating the equipment. The SR6000S is a Class 1 product for protection against electric shock and a Type 1 product with regards to disconnection of the control circuits. Be sure to observe the following safety precautions: –...
In addition, attempting to service or modify the Product will render this Warranty Void. Defective parts should be returned immediately to the local Sta-Rite dealer, any parts returned to the factory require a return of material authorization code. WARRANTY CARD MUST BE COMPLETED AND RETURNED AT ONCE.

VOLTAGE: The SR6000S includes a selector switch to select the input voltage of 110 or 220 VAC (single or two phase). Both the line and neutral voltages are fused at 5A; the relay power is routed through a 1A fuse.
1.3 IMPORTANCE OF WATER MAINTENANCE The SR6000S will effectively maintain the bacteriological and physiological requirements of state and local Health Departments. In addition, the SR6000S helps to protect the equipment from the effects of improper water balance. The National Swimming Pool Foundation recommends the following guidelines for chemical automation, (local health codes may differ): Filtration –...
The location of the SR6000S must be optimized for both electrical and plumbing connections. • Sta-Rite sends the SR6000S from the factory set to the 110 VAC supply power, in order to simplify installation. MOUNTING THE SR6000S Select a location for mounting the SR6000S, meeting the following recommendations: At least ten (10) feet from open water.
2.3 PLUMBING INSTALLATION Mapping out the plumbing installation is recommended since there can be variations to the installation of the sensors and chemical feed equipment. This section gives the basic principles to be applied for any specific installation, which are listed as follows: Identify the new and existing equipment to be connected.
2.4 FLOW OR PRESSURE SWITCH It is mandatory to use a flow or pressure switch to prevent the SR6000S from feeding chemicals if the main pump is OFF. The switch must be open when there is no flow and closed when there is flow. Note: The AK1200 flow cell has a built in flow switch that protects against feeding chemicals in a NO flow condition by quickly detecting no flow in the system.
Each sensor has its own unique circuitry that is connected directly to the micro-controller for direct measurement. The pH and ORP sensors are isolated from each other and from the input power. The SR6000S measures the following sensor measurements with the listed characteristics: pH Isolated input, range is 4.22 to 9.78, ±0.02.
Flow Switch (1 input). This input measures if a switch is open or closed. WARNING: Sensors are shipped with a PVC Cover covering the electrode tip to protect the sensing element. Sensors should be kept in the protective cap until ready for installation, if the cotton in the boot becomes dry, wet it with tap water.
Calibrate the probes with the system water at pH and ORP set points, then recalibrate as the probes acclimate to the pool. Visit the SR6000S over next few days to check the calibration and tune if necessary. NOTE: try to check the calibrations at the same time of day as when they were previously performed.
STA-RITE dealer or call STA-RITE directly. 3.2 LED SUMMARY TABLE The SR6000S has five LED to indicate various conditions these conditions are explained in detail throughout the manual. The table below summarizes all of the possible LED states and there meaning.
LED SUMMARY TABLE 3.3 INITIALIZING THE SR6000S When initializing/turning on the SR6000S, it will perform a brief check of its internal system and check its memory for operation. It will also display the date code for the version of software that the system is currently using. (As listed below the software version is dated 02 17 03, or Feb 17, 2003.)
7.25 Flow FEED ALARM ALARM FEED Reading Display Under normal conditions if the pH or ORP ALARM LED is on steady it means that the reading is more than 10% from set point. A flashing red LED means that the Overfeed time limit has been exceeded and the feed pump is being kept off.
readings display or if you do not press any buttons for approximately 30 seconds the unit will automatically return to the reading screen. A short cut method is to press the other menu key once to instantly exit a menu back to the readings display. 3.7 PH / ORP SET POINTS Press the pH menu button;...
Note: The Cycle time and On time Limits are tied together; you are not allowed to make cycle time shorter than the On time Limit and you can not increase the On Time Limit longer than the Cycle time. Depending on which one that you are increasing or decreasing the other may increase or decrease with it.
3.10 CALIBRATION Lets you set the calibration value of the sensor probe to match the values of your hand check tests. Use the + and – buttons to set. 6.95 Flow FEED ALARM ALARM FEED pH Calibration Display 3.11 CALIBRATING PH Note: A chemical test kit must be purchased separately and utilized for calibration.
3.13 OVERFEED TIME LIMIT The Overfeed Time Limit allows you to set the maximum amount of time that a feeder will be allowed to be on during a 24-hour period. The time is accumulative over the period of the day and will be reset to zero once in any 24-hour period or when the unit is powered on and off.
4.1 CLEAR PH This menu allows you to clear the ph calibration back to factory default. In order to reset the ph calibration value press the SELECT button and you will see the display that is showing the PH change to “yES” so that you will know that the value has changed. Flow FEED ALARM...
4.3 ACID OR BASE SELECT This menu allows you to select either ACID or BASE feed mode for the pH feed pump. In ACID mode the pH feed pump will start feeding when pH reading is above set point. In BASE mode the pH feed pump will start feeding when pH reading is below set point.

If the system is underfeeding chemicals and the chemical storage tanks have been verified full it may be time to change out the feed tube in the pump. Contact STA-RITE for parts. WARNING! Used extreme caution while working on chemical feed lines. Wear protective equipment to protect the eyes, face, and hands from chemical spray! &...
13. Place pump on dispenser motor shaft so that motor shaft mates with pump rotor. Rotate pump (NOT motor shaft) so that upper right and lower left pump cover screw holes align with holes in SR6000S. 14. Install lower left and upper right 1-5/8” screws from the pump cover to the SR6000S.
5.3 MAXIUM CHEMICAL CONCENTRATIONS This pump is designed only for use as a pool or SPA chemical feeder. Maximum recommended concentrations of chemicals are listed in the table below.
