Operation and Maintenance Manual 

Rev: L13 

A – 5.2:  Chlorine Control (continued) 

 

Failsafe Timer (Op):  

This value sets the time 

that the relay is allowed to stay continuously on. 

The most common failures of automated 

chemical feed systems are depletion of the 
chemical supply and/or chemical feeder 

failure.  Both problems result in the controller 
being unable to reach set point in a reasonable 

period of time. The failsafe timer sets the 
maximum length of time the feeder can run.   

If the feeder has been trying to achieve set 
point without success for the selected time, 

the controller will cut power to the feeder, 
flash the Reset Fail/Safe LED on the face 

panel and display a message to alert the 
operator.  If in TBP Pause mode, the 

controller will reset the timer.

 

An operator must reset the failsafe through 

the Reset Fail/safe button to re-enable normal 
control. 

 
 

 
 

 
 

 

 

Alt Set Point (Op): 

The 4 Event 28 Day Timer

 

allows you to program a schedule to define when 
to use alternate set point. 

 

Alt Set Point 4 Event 28 Day Timer:  

To 

program the 4 Event 28 Day Timer, perform 

the following:

 

 

Select the Alt. Set point from the Cl (Br) 

Control menu. 

 

 

Now select the 4Event 28Day Timer from the 
Alt. Set Point menu. 

 

Selecting Event1 will allow you to select the 
weekly interval to use the alternate set point.   

 
If the 1st, 2nd, 3rd, or 4th week is selected, 

the timer will only trigger on that week in the 
four-week cycle. The Odd Weeks selection 

will trigger on the 1st and 3rd weeks, the 
Even Weeks selection will trigger on the 2nd 

and 4th weeks, and the Every Week selection 
triggers every week. 

 

The week number and day of week for the 

current date is displayed on the bottom 
right side of these screens.

 

The first week is fixed to be the week of 
Sunday, January 2

nd

, 2000 and every four 

weeks afterwards. 

The next set of screens will allow you to 
choose the actual day(s).

 

 

Select what day of the week, or every day, the 

alternate set point should be used.   

 

Once you make your selection you will be 

returned to the 4Event 28Day Timer menu 
where you will have a new menu item:  Event 

1 Times. 

 

Select the Event1 Times from the 4Event 

28Day Timer menu.   
 

This screen allows you to set both the start 
time and the end time for the event's 

programmed weeks/days.  To toggle 
AM/PM, press the +/- key while the cursor is 

on the time you wish to change.  

If your start time is before midnight (12:00 

AM) and the end time is after midnight, the 
alternate set point will continue to be used 

the following day up to the end time even if 
that day did not fall within the week/day 

selection for that event.

 

Example:   

Event1 Week/Day: 

Odd weeks/ Tuesday 

Event1 Times:     

11:00 PM to 3:00 AM 

Event2 Week/Day: 

Even weeks/ Monday 

Event2 Times:     

11:00 PM to 6:00 AM 

Current Week/Day:    2nd/Tuesday 
Current Time: 

 

4:00 PM 

The alternate set point last ran from 11:00 PM  

last night to 6:00AM this morning. 

The next time the alternate set point will run will  

be from 11:00 PM next Tuesday to 

3:00AM next Wednesday. 

 

ORP Set Point (Op):  

This value sets the 

desired level to maintain the ORP at during any 
of the programmed alternate set point events. 

 

Free Cl Set Point (Op):  

This option is only 

available if the free Cl probe is installed and the 

Control Source is set to free Cl.

 This value sets the 

desired level to maintain the free Cl at during 

any of the programmed alternate set point 
events. 

 

Bracketed Free Cl (Op):

   

This option is only 

available if the free Cl probe is installed and the Control 

Source is set to ORP.

  If enabled, the controller will 

override the ORP control so that the free Cl will 

not drop out of a programmed range. 

 

Bracketed ORP (Op):

  

This option is only available if 

the free Cl probe is installed and the Control Source is set to 
free Cl.

  If enabled, the controller will override the 

free Cl control so that the ORP will not drop out 
of a programmed range. 
  
 

    Warning:   Disabling the failsafe timers is 

highly discouraged.  They are an important 

safety feature to protect against dangerous 

chemical overfeeds and will protect the 

equipment from running continuously if it runs 

out of chemical.
