Ioniser Polarity Indicator

This LED changes colour from red to green every six minutes to indicate the polarity of the Ioniser electrodes has changed. Changing the 

polarity assists in cleaning the electrodes and ensures that they wear evenly. Please note the LED is only lit while the ioniser is running. e.g. 

on setting 1 this is 6 seconds in each 6 minute cycle.

Oxidiser Current Control

This control is used to adjust the current being applied to the Oxidiser plates. The current produced by this control will be displayed on the 

Oxidiser production LED digital display.

Oxidiser Production Digital Display

This display shows the status of the Oxidiser plates and has a range of values.

Value

Indication

01 to 16

A value in the range of 1-16 indicates the current (in Amps) being applied to the Oxidiser plates. The Q1 control unit limits to 

a maximum of 15 Amps. When the Oxidiser Current Control is at maximum the display should show 14-16. If the display at 

maximum is below 14-16 amps this is either due to low TDS levels or a high internal temperature. Refer to Section 3 for TDS 

adjustment. At settings below maximum a lower current value will be displayed.

OF

The current being applied to the plates is negligible or non-existent.  

This will be the most likely reading when the Oxidiser Current Control is set to minimum

d6

The system is in de-gas mode. When the unit reverses polarity approximately every 24 hrs it goes into the de-gas mode (no 

power to the cell) for 1 hour. This purges the cell before powering up in the opposite polarity.

Pb

The display will flash indicating that the system is not applying current to the oxidiser plates due to any of the following. 

Air in the system  |  Insufficient water flow  |  Calcium build-up on plates

SU

Indicates the unit is in a start-up self-check mode. The start-up mode lasts for 10 seconds during which time the Control Unit 

checks and monitors the system configuration. If any faults are found these are shown on the display with the appropriate 

indicator. If no fault is found the output currents ramp up to their preset mode as determined by the Ioniser and Oxidiser 

Current Controls.

TP

This indicates an undesirable internal temperature in the Control Unit.  

If this occurs the unit will shutdown to prevent any damage to the System Controller. Likely causes of this message are:

Excessively low TDS  |  Air-flow vents on the underside of the unit are blocked  |  Excessive ambient temperatures
