Installation Manual
9.2
Ai Mode Connection
Connect your Viron eVo pump to the Viron
e-Quilibrium with the RJ12 communications cable and
plug the 3 pin plug into the bottom.
9.3
Ai Mode Set Up
In the Viron e-Quilibrium “Set Up” screen:
1.
Enter “INSTALL” menu and enable the following:
• 3 speed pump enabled the volume of your pool and spa
in litres (if no spa is installed, leave this at factory pre-set
level)
• Select Ai Mode
• Select the size Viron Pump you have installed (1.0 hp for
P320/XT320 and 2.0 hp for P600/XT520)
• Select the speed of the pump when you have the system
manually on – we recommend speed 1 or high speed.
• Select “Continue” set up when asked.
• the number of complete water turnovers required each
day, (suggest factory preset of 1.5 times is adequate)
• When asked “Reset to Factory Defaults?” select no.
2.
Exit the “Install Menu”
3.
Change the timer period to operate for as long as
possible (suggestion of 16 hours – from 8 am to 10
pm)
9.3.1
Viron eVo Pump speed selection:
1.
Enable System mode in the Viron Pump menu – refer
to your Viron Pump Instructions
2.
Set Pump speeds as follows:
• With the RJ12 Cable connected to the pump and eQ
Chlorinator, change chlorinator mode to “Manual On” to
enable adjustment of the Pump Speeds.
Note: Othe pump is turned Manual On, it will go into
Priming Mode for 5 minutes before the speeds can be
changed.
• Set High Speed at near maximum speed of the pump.
• Set Medium Speed at a speed so the chlorinator
electrode cell fills with water during operation and the
skimmer box weir door creates some surface tension on
nearby water to skim properly. Usually, this speed will be
between 1200 and 1600 RPM.
• Set Low Speed at 600 RPM (also referred to as sampling
speed). Ensure water is flowing through the chlorinator
cell at this speed.
9.4
Operation in Ai Mode.
In Ai Mode, the pump and electrode cell will start at
the first time setting. After an initial 5 minute priming
period, the pump will revert to filter speed (Medium
Speed), the Chlorinator will test pH and chlorine levels
and both adjust the chlorine production and dose acid
to achieve the desired levels.
The Viron e-Quilibrium will ensure the pump operates
until its primary two objectives are achieved:
• Water is turned over 1.5 times (on a 50,000 litre pool, the pump
will move 75,000 litres of water to ensure all of the water is
filtered)
• Chlorine level is achieved. In the winter, this may be only 4 to
6 hours of operation. In the summer, when the pool is subject
to high UV and heavy bather load it may be 12 hours as the
chlorine level is constantly under demand.
When both objectives are achieved, the Viron
e-Quilibrium will turn the pump down to Sampling
Speed (approx.600 RPM) which is almost inaudible and
costs less than 0.5 cents per hour. During sampling
speed the Viron e-Quilibrium simply tests for chlorine
levels. If the family all jump in the pool later at night
and the chlorine is dissipated, the Viron e-Quilibrium
will turn the pump back to filter speed (medium) and
turn the electrode on to produce more chlorine. Your
family is protected even when swimming later at night
as the system is filtering and sanitising the pool or spa
water automatically.
If the correct chlorine level is NOT achieved when
the system shuts down at the end of the day on time
clock, it will start on maximum output and maximum
pump speed the following morning until the chlorine
level is achieved. Once the chlorine level is achieved,
the pump will revert back to the gentle filtration
speed until the required number of water turns and
chlorine levels are maintained.
9.5
Ai Mode Timers
In Ai Mode you can select four timer periods. Each
timer period can have a specific pump speed selected
(high or medium) or allow the Chlorinator to select the
appropriate pump speed. Normally you will only select
a specific pump speed when you wish to operate a
cleaner or water feature at a specific time every day.
Low speed cannot be selected in Ai Mode as low
speed becomes the default “sampling speed” to allow
the unit to continue to monitor chemical levels while
the Viron Pump is operating at a very low output.
9.6
Effects of Ai Mode
It is important, during set up, that the pool/spa
volume is entered correctly. The average pool size in
Australia is between 50,000 and 60,000 litres but if in
doubt, it is better to select more volume than less.
