IntelliChlor Electronic Chlorine Generator COMSYS-10 Installation Guide
Troubleshooting
The IntelliChlor 100% light does not come on when the chlorine controller calls for chlorine
1. Verify the ORP controller is opening and closing the dry-contact output.
2. Remove the ORP SENSOR wires connection from the PRIMARY power center and the ORP
controller. Manually tie the ORP SENSOR wires together. This will turn on the cells at 100%. If
the 100% lights do not come on for each cell or only one cell, verify the communication wires are
connected, shown in POWER UP THE SYSTEM, step 3, page 7.
The IntelliChlor 100% light stays on after the chlorine controller says to stop
1. Verify the communication wires are connected, as shown in section 5, POWER UP THE SYSTEM,
step 3.
2. Verify the ORP SENSOR wires are not shorted together in the power center.
3. Verify the ORP controller dry contact output is opening and closing by using an ohmmeter.
Manually set this output open and closed using the controller menu system.
The CHECK SALT light is on
More salt needs to be added to the water.
1. Add salt to the water and bring up to 3600ppm. Allow it to mix for 24 hours.
2. The salt level will be automatically checked every 8 hours by the primary cell and displayed.
The LOW salt light is on
Not enough salt is in the water to produce chlorine, cell is OFF.
1. Add salt to the water and bring up to 3600ppm. Allow it to mix for 24 hours.
2. The salt level will be checked every 8 hours by the cells and displayed.
Not enough chlorine is produced
1. Ensure the ORP sensor probe on the chlorine controller unit is clean and working.
2. Verify the IntelliChlor cells do not have a flashing CELL light. If so, remove the cell and acid clean.
3. Verify no debris is in the cells. Remove if present.
4. Verify the FLOW light is green, for adequate water flow.
5. Verify the salt level lights are displaying either green GOOD or yellow CHECK SALT. If displaying
yellow CHECK SALT, add salt to the water, and allow to mix for 24 hours.
6. Verify the ORP controller sets the cells to 100% SANITIZER OUTPUT or 0%, by manually
controlling this output relay (done in the ORP controller, not the IntelliChlor) or by disconnecting
the ORP SENSOR wires from the power center and manually opening and closing the wires.
7. Verify the ORP probe is clean.
8. Verify the filter pump is not being turned off by a timer.
The cell is not powered up
1. Check fuse, replace if open. 2.
Check if cell connector is plugged and twist-locked all the way in.
Fuse is blown
1. Replace with 12 amp ceramic fuse. DO NOT USE 10AMP glass (a common fuse), it is not reliable and
might fail later. If the fuse blows again, replace the cell.
2. Verify the Power center is not wired for 110VAC and has 220VAC applied to it. THIS IS NOT COVERED
BY THE WARRANTY.
