General
This system is
not intended
for outdoor installation. If a pump/filter room is not available, a shelter providing shade and
weather protection will be necessary. Ple ase note that the installation area should be well ventilated and free of
substances that could cause corrosion
. Installation must be done in accordance with any local regulations AND
MUST BE PERFORMED BY AN AUTHORIZED ECOMATIC DEALER.
When deciding on the position of the unit, take care to allow for the cable lengths available. A pproximate maximum
placement distances are:
Power Supply to Control Box – 1.5m (approximately 5ft)
Power Supply to Electrolytic Cell – 3m (approximately 10ft)
Control Box to Gas Sensor (Cell) – 4m (approximately 13 ft)
Actual distances will depend on how the cables between units are run. Check prior to installation.
IMPORTANT
: DO
NOT PLACE ANY COMPONENT NEAR SOURCES OF HEAT OR CHEMICAL VAPORS (e.g. ACID DRUMS).
The Power Supply and Electrolytic Cell are very heavy, allow for this during installation. If any components are dropped,
damage will occur.
THE COMPONENTS OF YOUR ECOMATIC
Power Supply:
Should be wall mounted using brackets provided. The brackets provide a gap between the back of the unit and the wall
for air flow. The unit should be mounted at about head height. That is approximately 1.5 meters (approximately 5ft) above
ground level. The brackets are designed for masonry bolts/wall plugs. The unit can be lifted on/off.
Note: this unit is heavy. Please allow for this when installing.
Instructions for mounting bracket use are provided in the package containing the brackets.
Control Box
Should be mounted at approximately the same height as the Power Supply to allow easy access and viewing. This unit
has a “keyhole” mount at center/top/rear. Once the unit has been hung on this mount, two locating screws can be placed
at the bottom corners of the unit. These are under the lower cover plate on the front of the unit.
Electrolytic Cell Assembly
Should be installed vertically on its legs and placed down stream from the filter. The cell is heavy and great care should
be taken in fitting the legs.
If the cell is dropped the internal housing can be damaged.
Select the approximate position for the cell and screw the legs to the protruding bolts on the lower flange;
space them
equally around the flange circumference
.
The cell should be lifted and then maneuvered until it is vertical and resting its legs. At least 2 people will be required for
this operation. Do not attempt to pivot the cell on the legs, as
they are not designed to carry a load in this way
.
The cell is now ready to be plumbed into the pool system.
Back - up Sanitation
In the event of a system failure or during periods of extreme bather loads and/or very hot weather, or due to local
authority regulations,
extra chlorine may be required to maintain sanitation levels in the pool. U
se Sodium
Hypochlorite (Liquid Chlorine) as an additional source of chlorine.
