ChloroMatic MODEL ESR, ESC and ESCpH SERIES FEATURES:
STAND- BY:
The Stand - By indicator will be On when the Unit is preparing to produce chlorine. This will be either during the
systems initial start up or when the Cell has been turned Off during the filtration cycle.
FLOW:
If there is a problem with water flow or chlorine gas is detected in the Cell Housing the fIow indicator will be On.
When this occurs the pump or pipes should be inspected for damage and the Flow Sensor connection checked.
SANITISER OUTPUT CONTROL:
The Sanitiser Output Control varies the amount of time the Cell operates during the filtration cycle.
The Sanitiser Output Control will not vary the electrical current supplied to the Cell.
As an example, if one filtration cycle is set at 5 hours, and the Sanitiser Output Control is set to 80%, then the
total amount of time the Cell will operate during the 5-hour cycle will be 4 hours. If the Sanitiser Output Control is
set to 60%, the Cell will operate for 3 hours total over the 5-hour filtration cycle.
When the Sanitiser Output Control is set to MIN, the Cell will be OFF for the duration of the filtration cycle. When
the Sanitiser Output Control is set to MAX, the Cell will be ON for the duration of the filtration cycle.
The Sanitiser Output Control is graduated in steps of 10% from MIN (OFF) to MAX (ON).
During the filtration cycle, the Cell will be turned ON and OFF a number of times each hour, unless the Sanitiser
Output Control is set at MIN or MAX. Using the previous example (of 60%), the Cell will operate for about 36
minutes each hour. This 36-minute operating time will be made up of a number of smaller operating periods. As
an example, the Cell may turn ON 12 times (for a period of 3 minutes each time) over the hour to make up the 36
minutes.
This enables the electronic circuitry to re - adjust to any changes in the pool water condition. For example, dilution
from winter rains, the addition of salt etc.
If the Cell is OFF and you wish to check its operation, simply turn the
Sanitiser Output Control to MAX and the
Cell will turn ON. Once checked, adjust the Sanitiser Output Control back to the desired position and after a few
minutes the Cell will turn OFF again.
To turn the Cell OFF, simply turn the
Sanitiser Output Control to MIN. This will be convenient for backwashing.
LOW SALINITY INDICATOR
Your ChloroMatic is fitted with a number of protective systems including the Low Salinity Indicator (operation
LED’s) . As the salt level in the pool decreases, the wear on the Cell increases. Although salt is not consumed in
the ChloroMatic process, it is lost through splashing, back - washing and on bathers as they leave the pool. The
salt level is also reduced by rain, which causes dilution. Salt is not lost to evaporation.
As the salt level in the pool falls toward the minimum Operation LED2 will turn RED. At this point the salt level
should be increased by adding 25kg of salt per 25,000 litres of pool water. The addition of salt should not affect the
ChloroMatic as it is protected against overloads. If no action is taken and the salt level continues to fall damage to
the system may result.
OPERATION OF ChloroMatic ESC SYSTEM:
The ChloroMatic ESC system has the following additional features:
1. POLARITY INDICATOR ON OUTPUT Display - The ± Symbol appears before the cell output display to
indicate which polarity the system is in, i.e. positive or negative. This symbol will alternate and is factory pre set.
2. SANITISER OUTPUT - When adjusting the Sanitiser Output (refer following section) the ESC system’s
Cell Output Display flashes the control setting (i.e. percentage of time that the Cell operates during the filtration
cycle) for a few seconds then resumes displaying Cell Output, or standby light (if in waiting).
3. CLEANING OF CELL – The ESC System uses a patented Electronic reverse polarity system to clean your Cell,
providing the convenience of lower maintenance.
4. PUMP CUT-OUT – The ESC System features a protective interlock system which cuts off power to the pool
pump if there is no water flowing through the cell housing. This is especially helpful if the pump ‘runs dry’ and
hence may stop the pump motor from burning out.
