Setting Timers
Your Chlorinator has 4 timers enabling you to set four different periods in which your chlorinator/pump will operate. Different
periods can be set for the weekend compared to weekdays. Timers are set by entering a start time, and a period for how long
you want to operate (i.e. Mon – Fri T1 On 14:00 and Mon – Fri T1 Period 6:15 will run the chlorinator/pump during weekdays
from 14:00 for 6.25 hours). To set timers, do the following:

Programming Recommendations
Astral recommends that you use two timers, one for the morning and one for the evening and typically for periods of 2-5 hours
for each. Your chlorinator is most effective if running in the early morning or evening when it is cooler (strong sunlight
consumes more chlorine). As a default, the control is set to come on at 08:00 and 16:00 both for periods of 4 hours.
NOTE: Due to different time clock settings for weekday and weekends, the timer periods cannot be set to run past midnight
(24:00 hours). If you cannot adjust the start time for a timer period, it is likely the period of run time is set to go beyond 24:00
hours. To correct this, reduce the period run time first, then return to the start time and adjust.
An example of this is if you have your timer period set to run for 4 hours, the chlorinator will not allow the start time to be set
any later than 19:59. If you require the chlorinator to start at 20:00 hours, the running period must be less than 4 hours to
prevent cross over to the next day.
