Indicators – What They Mean
Output readings on the DIGITAL DISPLAY can fall due to any (or combination of) the following: cooler water
temperatures, warming of power pack (in heated equipment rooms for example), lower than normal power voltage, low
salt levels, scaling occurring on ‘Cell’.
Provided LED 1 and LED 2 are both GREEN ( and the ‘Cell’ is not scaling excessively), your ECO-matic is performing
(producing) satisfactorily.
Indicator Display LED 1 LED 2 What’s Happening
STAND-BY ON Blank Green Green 1. Unit is in start-up mode.
2. ‘Cell’ is in OFF cycle during normal operation.
(refer System Control )
3. System Control set at MIN.
FLOW ON Blank Green Green 1. Insufficient flow through ‘Cell’ (gas or air at STAND-BY ON
‘Cell’, check pump/pipes for damage, leaks).
2. Gas Sensor lead not connected to ‘Cell’.
3. System is wired incorrectly.
Approx 90-100 Green Green System operating normally.
Approx 90-100 Green Red 1. ‘Cell’ is dirty, scale build-up. Clean ‘Cell’.
2. Water temperature cold. Switch to Winter Mode .
3. Salt Level below minimum. Add salt.
4. ‘Cell’ failing. Test and/or replace ‘Cell’.
Varying Red Red Unit preparing to Cut-Out . (see Low Salinity Indicator and
Cut-Out )
1. ‘Cell’ is dirty, scale build-up. Clean ‘Cell’.
2. Water temperature cold. Switch to Winter Mode .
3. Salt Level below minimum. Add salt.
4. ‘Cell’ failing. Test and/or replace ‘Cell’.
STAND-BY ON Blank Red Red System Protection activated. Unit has Cut-Out .
Follow above procedures
WINTER MODE ON Approx 75-85 Green Green System operating normally - in Winter Mode .
Only operate in Winter Mode if water is very cold.
Red LED(s): Scaled ‘Cell’ or Low Salt Level.
Operation of the ESC Models
The ESC Models have the following features:
a)
Polarity Indicator
: The + or - symbol appears before the
Digital Output Display
, to indicate the polarity in which
the system is operating (i.e. positive or negative direction of ‘Cell’ current). The symbol will alternate according to
pre-set factory settings and does not effect the normal operation of the unit.
b) System Control : When the System Control is being adjusted, the ESC units will indicate (flashing) the percentage
of time that the ‘Cell’ will operate during the filtration cycle (for a few seconds, then display reverts to ‘Cell’ Output
display).
c) ‘Cell’ Cleaning : The ESC units use a patented Electronic Auto-Cleaning system for the ‘Cell’. ‘Cells’ may eventually
scale in extreme hard water conditions and will require manual cleaning if this occurs.
d) The second Low Salinity warning phase (Red + Red LED’s) is very short. Therefore on first warning phase (Red +
Green LED’s) prompt action is recommended to avoid Cut-Out .
