TruClear
™
Chlorine Generating System
Quick Start Guide
In normal operation, the up and down arrows are used to set the output level of the chlorinator.
The output should be adjusted in order to achieve the desired Free Available Chlorine level of 2-4 ppm.
The back/save button will save any changes you have made in the menu and send you back to the
previous menu screen. The select button will scroll through and open any available parameters for editing.
Press to turn power to system on. Press and
hold for 6 seconds to completely power the
system down. A single quick press will toggle the
system from Standby to Auto mode when not
connected to a remote automation system via
RS485*.

Important Safety Instructions
FOR YOUR SAFETY - This product must
be installed and serviced by a contractor
who is licensed and qualifi ed in pool
equipment by the jurisdiction in which
the product will be installed where such
state or local requirements exist, the
maintainer must be a professional with
suffi cient experience in pool equipment
installation and maintenance so that all of
the instructions in the installation manual
can be followed exactly. Before installing
this product, read and follow all warning
notices and instructions that accompany
this product. Failure to follow warning
notices and instructions may result in
property damage, personal injury, or death.
Improper installation and/or operation will
void the warranty. Improper installation
and/or operation can create unwanted
electrical hazard which can cause serious
injury, property damage, or death. Turn off
all circuit breakers supplying power to the
equipment you are intending to service or
install in order to prevent the possibility of
electric shock.

All electrical work must be performed
by a licensed electrician and conform
to all national, state, and local codes.
When installing and using this electrical
equipment, basic safety precautions should
always be followed, including the following:
WARNING
EQUIPMENT UNDER PRESSURE:
Always
turn pump off prior to installing or servicing the
power pack or cell. Your pump/filter system
is operated under pressure and the pressure
must be released before you begin work.
Please see your pump/filter owner’s manual for
further instructions.
To reduce the risk of electric shock, fire or
injury, service should only be attempted by a
qualified pool service professional.
Jandy® Pro Series chlorine generating
devices are designed for domestic (residential)
swimming pool use only. Contrary use could
affect performance, void warranty, and may
result in property damage, serious injury, or
death.
• Operating a chlorine generator without water
flowing through the cell may cause a build
up of flammable gases, resulting in fire or
explosion.
• Keep equipment out of reach of children.
• A damaged supply cord should only be
replaced by the manufacturer, service agent or
electrician.
• When installing and using this electrical
equipment, always follow basic safety
precautions.
• Before performing installation, disconnect all
power.
• Connect to a circuit that is protected by a
ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI).
• Do not install within an outer enclosure or
beneath the skirt of a hot tub or spa.
Installation must be done in accordance with
the National Electrical Code® (“NEC®” or
NFPA-70®) in the US, the Canadian Electrical
Code (“CEC” or C22.1) in Canada, and/or any
other local and national installation codes.
RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, FIRE,
PERSONAL INJURY, OR DEATH. Connect
only to a branch circuit that is protected by a
ground-fault circuit interrupter (GFCI). Contact
a qualified electrician if you cannot verify that
the circuit is protected by a GFCI. Make sure
such a GFCI is provided by the installer and
should be tested on a routine basis. To test the
GFCI, push the test button. The GFCI should
interrupt power. Push the reset button. Power
should be restored. If the GFCI fails to operate
in this manner, the GFCI is defective. If the
GFCI interrupts power to the pump without the
test button being pushed, a ground current is
flowing, indicating the possibility of electrical
shock. Do not use the device. Disconnect the
device and have the problem corrected by a
qualified service representative before using.
A green/yellow grounding wire is provided
inside the power pack. To reduce risk of
electric shock, connect the ground wire to the
grounding wire that is supplying power to the
unit.
The power pack must be interlocked/
interconnected with the pool pump motor
power source to ensure that the chlorinator
only operates when the pool pump is
operating.

BOOST - Can be used to maximize chlorine output for a short period
of time. To activate BOOST, press
and
simultaneously.
Boost will end after 24 hours. To turn off BOOST, press
.
LOW - Can be used to minimize chlorine output while activated. To
activate LOW, press
and
simultaneously. LOW will stay
active indefi nitely. To turn off LOW, press
.
Setting the Chlorine Output Level
Factors to consider:
- number of gallons in the pool
- number of bathers (bather load)
- pollen and dust concentration
- number of hours the pump runs
- single or variable speed pump use
- climate and water temperature
- amount of introduced rain water
Pools at <15K gallons start at 40%.
Pools at 25K - 30K gallons start at 60%.
If these levels do not result in 2 - 4
PPM chlorine residual, raise the
output level.
If the output level is >90% and tested
water shows insuffi cient chlorine
residual, you may need to shock the
pool or add Cyanuric Acid (CYA) to
protect against UV degradation.
More pump runtime will result in more
chlorine in the water.
It may take several adjustments
over several days to fi nd the right
production rate for your application.
*When connected to an automation system via RS485, full control of the TruClear system is given over to
the automation controller. No functionality will persist at the TruClear UI. In order to control the TruClear
from the UI, the automation system must fi rst be placed into service mode. For details on service mode
please consult the operation manual for the controller you are using as follows:
● AquaLink RS: 6594 ● Z4: H0386500 ● PDA: H0572300
