The cell has connections both top and bottom. These protrude through the cell housing. You will find that the black and 
white cell cables are terminated in male plugs and brass blocks resembling terminal block mechanisms. Simply fit the 
brass blocks to the cell connections. Ensure that the connections are connected tightly. 

 

The male plugs should be inserted into their sockets on the right hand side of the bottom panel of the Power Supply. To 
insert, simply push them in slowly until a click is heard, then gently try to pull them out. If they are locked in place the 
connection is correct. 
If it is ne cessary to disconnect the cable, push the connector in f urther until a cli ck is heard and then remove the 
connector. This should only be done when power to the cell is off as arcing can result. Arcing will damage the connector. 
The connector should be kept clean to ensure long life. 

 

 

Control Box 

 

There are three connectors under the Control Panel (when it is mounted). From left to right, the first is for  power  and  
other signals to and from the Power Supply. This connector should be inserted and locked in place first. Do not attempt to 
connect the units with the power on -  damage may result. The connectors are keyed and cannot be inserted the wrong 
way. 

DO NOT FORCE THE CONNECTORS AS DAMAGE WILL RESULT 

– the pins and socket contacts can be forced 

out of their positions if force is used to insert the connectors. 

 

The second connector is for the Gas Sensor and should be connected only after the Gas Sensor has been installed. If the 
Gas Sensor must be removed it should be disconnected first. 

 

The third connector is for EXTERNAL CONTROL and is normally left capped. A connector is supplied (with a length of 
lead) for interconnection to another controller, such as a t imer or Chl orine Controller. Please note that the external 
controller must output 12 to 24V A.C./D.C. or have an isolated relay output (closed) to turn the Chlorinator on. Voltages in 
excess of those detailed will damage the unit. To use the EXTERNAL CONTROL simply connect the correct wires to your 
controller output. See EXTERNAL CONTROL detailed information further on in this manual
