STEP 1 - High Voltage Wiring
All electrical equipment must be located five feet or more from closest pool or spa waterline. Use the ground wire provided inside the
Control Panel for grounding. Bond all equipment, including the Control Panel, to earth ground.
STEP 2 - Wire from the sub-panel
- Your Lectranator Control Panel is shipped with the voltage selector switch factory set to
230 VAC.
If 115 VAC is desired, remove the screw securing the access cover, using a small slotted screwdriver, slide the red voltage
selector switch to the
115 VAC
position. The Control Panel will operate at either
50Hz
or
60Hz
line power. Ensure that the filter pump
AC voltage used matches the Control Panel voltage setting. Improper wiring will damage the Control Panel, which is not
covered under warranty. Connect AC power to the two hookup wires at the bottom of the Control Panel.
STEP 2 a
-
Control Panel Hook-up
- Ensure that the main filter pump circuit breaker is set to OFF. Connect AC from the
LOAD
SIDE
of the external time clock, Compool/Jandy filter pump relay or on/off switch to the Control Panel so that Lectranator operates
only when the filter pump operates. For flexibility, ease of wiring and making connections, #14 gauge stranded wire is recommended
for interconnection between the external control system and the Control Panel. Wiring diagrams are located on the Control Panel’s,
access cover.
Each Lectranator
Salt Chlorine Generator
consists of three (3) main components:
1. The CONTROL PANEL converts incoming AC power to a Low Voltage DC current which energizes the Cell.
2. The CELL receives that Low Voltage DC current from the Control Panel, indicated by a GREEN CELL ON
indicator, which initiates the electrolytic process and allows sanitizer to be produced. This process converts
salt (Sodium Chloride) to 100% Pure Sodium Hypochlorite (Liquid Chlorine) which in turn sanitizes your pool.
This processed salt then reverts back to salt and the entire process is repeated.
3. The FLOW DETECTOR ensures adequate flow is present to produce sanitizer. Further, it protects the Cell
from damage caused by insufficient flow. If the flow rate drops below 20 US Gallons/min. (75.6Liters/Min.),
the Control Panel will display a RED FLOW DETECTOR indicator and the CELL ON indicator will display
dark.
a) Chlorine/Bromine Controller Interface
- Each Control Panel has a yellow and black pair of wires labeled. “Use with
chlorine controller only”. These can be used to interface with a chlorine/bromine controller. This is a dry-contact input. If an ORP
controller is used, its output voltage (normally 115 VAC) should be wired to the coil contacts of a normally-closed relay or contactor.
The relay contacts are then used only to break the connection between the yellow and black wires on the Control Panel. Remove the
access cover for access to these wires.
NOTE: When an ORP controller is interfaced with a single Control Panel your output dial should be set on 10. Where multi-
ple control panels are interfaced with an ORP controller, consult factory
b) 10A Cell Fuse
-On the back of the Control Panel a 10 amp cell fuse is installed into a black fuse holder. This fuse protects the
Control Panel and cell from voltage spikes. If a red service light displays, inspection and possible replacement of this fuse may be
necessary. The Control Panel must be removed from the wall to access this fuse.
