SPECIAL NOTE ON WARNING INDICATOR LIGHTS (RP MODELS
ONLY):
When your chlorinator is operating in forward polarity cycle, light number 3 (Fig. 1, item 3)
is on and steady while light number 4 (Fig. 1, item 4) is off .
When your chlorinator is operating in reverse polarity cycle, light number 3 remains on
and steady while light number 4 will fl ash.
At the end of each cell operational cycle (or cell reverse), the power on/no water fl ow
light & overload light (Fig. 1, Items 3 & 4) will ALTERNATE by fl ashing in a slow fashion for
approximately thirty (30) seconds. This is the cell rinse procedure and is part of the nor-
mal operation, which occurs at each reverse cycle change of your AutoChlor® REVERSE
POLARITY chlorinator. On completion normal operations in the next cycle will begin.
Contrary to popular belief, during both normal and reverse cycle modes the chlorinator
continues to manufacture chlorine, whilst at the same time the opposite polarity cell
plates are being automatically cleaned.
4. RED LIGHT: STEADY OVERLOAD
OFF NORMAL OPERATION
in forward cycle
FLASHING NORMAL OPERATION (RP MODEL ONLY)
in reverse cycle
STEADY – When this light is illuminated and STEADY it will also be accompanied by a beeping
alarm alerting you of this situation. The chlorinator has overloaded and shut down to prevent
any damage. A direct short between two of the electrode plates coming into contact with
each other could cause this, or a foreign object could be shorting out two or more plates. It
can also be caused by a massively high concentration of salt in the pool water. Depending
on the problem and rectifi cation required, normal operations can proceed. Please note that
the chlorinator power supply must be switched off and then on again to reset the electronic
circuitry and resume operations.
OFF – When this light is off , the chlorinator is operating correctly in forward cycle mode.
FLASHING – When illuminated and FLASHING the chlorinator is operating correctly in reverse
cycle mode.
