5.1 Control Panel
5.2 Turning Power Pack On/Off (Manually)
To turn the Zodiac AquaPure Ei Series APURE35PLGC chlorine generating device on or off press the button.
NOTE
The power pack will only turn on and the cell will only produce chlorine when water flow is detected by the flow
switch.
5.3 Setting the Chlorine Output Level
When setting the chlorine output level you must consider the size of the pool, the amount of use the pool will be receiving
and how hot the weather is. All these factors weigh greatly on the level of output needed. To adjust the output level,
follow these steps:
1.
Turn the power pack on by pressing the button.
2.
Press the button to reach the desired output level. The minimum setting is 20% (one amber light). The output can
be adjusted in increments of 20% up to 100%. If the OUTPUT button is pressed beyond 100%, the output level
setting will drop back to 20%.
5.4 Connection to an AquaLink™ RS / PDA Control System
The Zodiac AquaPure Ei Series APURE35PLGC chlorine generating device can be connected to an AquaLink RS or PDA
Control System (see Section 3.5 and 3.6). For detailed instructions for the AquaLink RS or PDA Control System, see the
respective manuals.
5.5 Polarity Reversal
The Zodiac AquaPure Ei Series APURE35PLGC chlorine generating device is a reversable polarity cell which means that
for every five (5) hours of operation the cell will switch its polarity to help prevent any build up of calcium on the cell
plates. This is sometimes referred to as the automated cell cleaning feature. During the transition between changing its
polarity there is a five (5) minute wait time when the cell will not produce any chlorine. Once it has changed polarity it
will continue to make chlorine.
NOTE
‘CLEANING’ will be displayed on the screen during the five (5) minute ‘WAIT’ period. The output
level indicator will remain as set during the cleaning period.
5.6 Backup Battery
The power pack is fitted with a rechargeable battery which can last in excess of 500 hours without the power being
connected. In the event of a power failure the battery will retain ALL settings.
In the event of the battery losing its charge, the microprocessor in the unit will retain the following settings permanently:
• Operating
hours
• Cell
hours
