Key Features 

 

The Lectranator Digital Model DIG 48 display will show the 

SANITIZER OUTPUT LEVEL 

(in percent %) and whether the 

system is in 

BOOST 

or 

SUPER-BOOST Mode 

on the first line of the two line alphanumeric display. The second line will display the 

current 

TIME 

in either 12 or 24-hr mode, the 

TEMPERATURE 

in either Fahrenheit or Celsius, whether the cell is powered 

or not, shown as ON or OFF and 

Polarity Direction

, shown as a “

.

” or blank. Easy touch pads allow for adjusting and 

programming the unit. A 

Check System 

visual alarm indicator works in conjunction with the display to advise of any 

problems. All Menu, Select and Pump functions as well as any “Error messages” will be displayed on both lines of the 
alphanumeric display. 

 

The 

SANITIZING OUTPUT LEVEL 

is adjustable from 0% (OFF) to 100 % (MAX) by pressing the 

Up/Down 

Arrows to 

obtain the desired Sanitizer Output Level. Little adjustment is needed once the initial setting is established.  

Note: The Lectranator Digital Model DIG 48 does not test for sanitizer levels nor automatically adjust to maintain a 
desired sanitizer level. This is done by periodically testing the water and adjusting the output levels up or down, as needed . 

The Lectranator Digital Model DIG 48 is designed with an 

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION feature 

, which 

automatically adjusts the output level setting based upon changes in seasonal water temperatures only. This unique feature 
conveniently compensates for warm (more sanitizer needed) or cold (less sanitizer needed) water conditions.  

 

The 

BOOST Button 

increases the sanitizer output level to 100% for up to 72 hours, regardless of the initial output level 

setting. The sanitizing agent is produced, continually; throughout the normal On/Off cycles of the pump and throughout all 
power line disturbances until the end of the cycle or when manually discontinued. When Boost is activated with 

External 

Timer 

setting programmed, the time remaining for the boost cycle is held in memory and will start up in Boost mode until 

expired. With 

Pump Program 

or 

2-Speed Pump 

setting programmed, the time clock will be over ridden, producing sanitizer 

until the end of the boost cycle. The display will indicate the 

BOOST Mode 

on the second line when the boost Button is 

pressed once. Once activated, the system will produce the sanitizing agent for 24 hours. The sanitizing agent can be produced 
for 72 hours by pressing and holding down the Boost Button for 5-seconds from the Boost-Off position. This is called the 

SUPERBOOST Mode 

. The display will indicate that the system has successfully entered the Super Boost mode. To 

discontinue operation of Boost mode or Super Boost mode, pressed the Boost Button once more. The pool/spa pump must be 
turned on during the whole boost cycle. Do not let the pump run on a timer during that  period. 

 

The 

Menu 

and 

Select Buttons 

allows you to view the TEST mode, program the functions and time clocks. See the following 

pages for description of the menu tree. 

* The 

PUMP Button 

allows you to over ride the pump timer to temporarily turn the pump on or off (depending on its status of 

operation), or to manually turn the pump off, indicated by the display “OFF FOR MAINTENANCE”. In “OFF FOR 
MAINTENANCE” mode, the pump is prevented from restarting by the time clock and is only reactivated only by manually 
programming it to turn the pump back on. Not applicable with “EXTERNAL TIMER” selection.  

The 

CHECK SYSTEM 

light will flash if there is a problem with the system. The nature of the prob lem will be indicated by 

the display through various error messages. See the Troubleshooting section, page 14, for repair solution.  

FREEZE PROTECTION

this protective feature allows the pump, when programmed for One-Speed Pump, to override the 

program cycle and run continually (30-minute minimum) when the water temperature falls below 4.4°C (40

F). This prevents 

any damage to the PVC due to water expanding as it freezes.
