Getting Started:
It has been assumed that the installer has already programed the ioniser’s start/stop times. (See time clock
operating instructions attached.) For a new installation it is suggested that the ioniser’s time clock be set run to
the following formula:
1.0 hour per 1000 litres per week.
But the absolute arbiter of ioniser run time is the
copper levels in the water. It may therefore be necessary to increase or decrease run times to maintain the
optimum level @ 0.5 mg/L Cu++
Check that all connections are secure and switch on the pump. Allow plenty of time for the system to prime
and then check for leaks. Then turn on the ioniser control unit. It may be necessary to use the timer’s “manual
over-ride” function for this. Assuming that all is in order we now turn our attention to the
LED
display.
Power:
The green
“Power”
light confirms that there is power to the unit.
Polarity:
The two red
“Polarity”
lights confirm the 12 VDC current supplied to the flowcell. At any given
time, there will only be one light on - never will both be on together. The electrodes switch polarity regularly
to equalise the “
burn rate
” of both, and the switching rate is usually around 3.0 minutes for each cycle, but it
may vary slightly according to the conductivity of the water.
Ionising:
The amber
“Ionising”
light is most important as it confirms that both electrodes are “burning” and
depending on the conductivity of the water, this light may not be on at all, or it may be very bright, or
somewhere in between. Somewhere in between is perfect. If it is not on (conductivity too low) add several
kilos of ordinary pool salt to the water. Allow an hour or so for it to dissolve completely, and check the light
again. Repeat the process until the light is mid-yellow.
If the light is very bright, the water is highly conductive indicating that the water has a high TDS. If so,
consideration should be given to dumping or diluting the water and refilling with fresh. If at any time, the
green
“Power”
light is the only light visible, it’s possible that an internal fault has occurred and the LV fuse
has blown.
Note that the “PUMP” outlet applies only if used on water features or fountains.
Caution !
There are no user-serviceable parts inside the control module. Access is by removal of
the front panel. This must only be undertaken by Aquavic or our accredited agent.
Removal by unauthorised personnel will void the manufacturer’s warranty.
