Solutions

1.

“Power” LED not on

Check to make sure 120 / 240 VAC input power is

connected to the control. Be sure the jumpers are set

properly. Verify input voltage with a voltmeter. If there is

input power, the fuse may have blown. The board is

protected by a 20 amp mini ATO fuse located on the

circuit board above the cell connector.

2.

"Generating" LED flashing

The temperature of the pool water is too high or low to

operate. You can override this by switching the main

switch to SUPER CHLORINATE.

whichever comes first.
