
select Ai Mode

Select the size Viron Pump you have installed (1.0 hp for P320 and 2.0 for P600)

Select the speed of the pump when you have the system manually on
– we recommend speed 1 or high
speed.

Select “Continue” set up when asked.

the number of complete water turnovers required each day, (suggest factory pre set of 1.5 times is
adequate)

When asked “Reset to Factory Defaults?” select no.

Finally, exit the “Install Menu” and change the timer period to operate for as long as possible (suggestion
of 16 hours
– from 8 am to 10 pm)

9.4 Viron eVo Pump speed selection:

Enable System mode in the Viron Pump menu
– refer to Viron Pump Instructions

Set Pump speeds as follows: Once the RJ12 Cable has connected the pump and eQ Chlorinator, change
the chlorinator mode to “Manual On” to enable adjustment of the Pump Speeds. Note, once the pump is
turned Manual On, it will go into Priming Mode for 5 minutes before the speeds can be changed.
Alternatively, set up the pump speeds before the RJ12 connector is plugged into the chlorinator. Once the
pumps speeds have been set up, ensure the SYS (system) mode is enabled in the Viron Pump Menu.

In Ai Mode, the high speed should be set at near maximum speed of the pump.

Medium speed should be set at a speed where the chlorinator electrode cell fills with water during
operation and the skimmer box weir door creates some surface tension on near by water to skim properly.
Usually, this speed will be between 1200 and 1600 RPM.

Low speed should be selected at 600 RPM. This speed will be referred to as sampling speed. Ensure
water is flowing through the chlorinator cell at this speed.
9.5 Operation in Ai Mode
.
When Ai Mode is selected the Viron e-Quilibrium will operate in the following manner:

The pump and electrode cell will start at the first time period. After the initial 5 minute priming period, the
pump will revert to filter speed (medium speed), the Viron e-Quilibrium will test pH and chlorine levels and
both adjust the chlorine production and dose acid to achieve the desired levels.

The Viron e-Quilibrium will ensure the pump ope
rates until it’s primary two objectives are achieved: (1) the
Water is turned over 1.5 times (on a 50,000 litre pool, the pump will move 75,000 litres of water to ensure
all of the water is filtered) and (2) the chlorine level is achieved. In the winter, this may be only 4 to 6
hours of operation. In the summer, when the pool is subject to high UV and heavy bather load it may be
12 hours as the chlorine level is constantly under demand.

When both objectives are achieved, the Viron e-Quilibrium will turn the pump down to Sampling Speed
(approx..600 RPM) which is almost inaudible and costs less than 0.5 cents per hour. During Sampling
speed the Viron e-Quilibrium simply tests for chlorine levels. If the family all jump in the pool later at night
and the chlorine is dissipated, the Viron e-Quilibrium will turn the pump back to filter speed (medium) and
the electrode on to produce more chlorine. Your family is protected even when swimming later at night as
the system is filtering and sanitising the pool or spa water automatically.

Finally, if the correct chlorine level is NOT achieved when the system shuts down at the end of the day on
time clock, it will start on maximum output and maximum pump speed the following morning until the
chlorine level is achieved. Once the chlorine level is achieved, the pump will revert back to the gentle
filtration speed until the required number of water turns and chlorine levels are maintained.
