Stand-by Indicator
The Stand-By indicator will be ON when the Unit is preparing to produce sanitizer. This will be either during the system’s
initial Start-Up or when the ‘Cell’ is in an OFF cycle during the filtration cycle (refer System Control ). Stand-By indicator
can also be ON after System Protection Cut-Out has activated. (ie: when unit has shut down).
Flow Indicator
If there is a problem with water flow or gas is detected in the ‘Cell Housing’ the Flow indicator will be ON. When this
occurs the pump or pipes should be inspected for damage and the Gas Sensor on the ‘Cell’ checked for correct
connection (and scale build-up on bolt head of Gas Sensor).
System Control (Output Control)
The System Control allows you to control the amount of sanitizer to be produced during any filtration cycle (filter
operating time).
The setting on the
System Control determines the amount of time for which the ECO-matic will operate during the filtration
cycle. The System Control dial is graduated approximately as follows: 0% (MIN), 20%, 40%, 60%, 80%, (MAX) 100%.
The System Control will not vary the rate at which the ‘Cell’ will produce sanitizer (as indicated on the DISPLAY), just the
‘time’ for which the ECO-matic will produce sanitizer. For example:
Daily Filter System Control Hours of
Operating Time Setting Sanitizer Production
8 hours 60% 4.8 hours (60% of 8 hours)
12 hours 20% 2.4 hours (20% of 12 hours)
8 hours 100% 8 hours (100% of 8 hours)
6 hours 50% (halfway) 3 hours (50% of 6 hours)
When the System Control is set to MIN, the ‘Cell’ will be OFF for the duration
of the filtration cycle.
When the System Control is set to MAX, the ‘Cell’ will be ON for the full duration
of the filtration cycle.
The System Control is graduated in steps of 20% from MIN (OFF) to MAX (ON).
Note: If the ECO-matic is controlled by ORP chemical automation, turn the control knob to MAX.
During any filtration cycle, when the System Control is set between MIN and MAX, the ‘Cell’ will be turned ON and OFF
a number of times each hour. 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) 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
System Control to MAX and the ’Cell’ will turn ON.
Once checked, adjust the System 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 System Control to MIN. This will be convenient when backwashing filter.
