3.  Description and Specifications 

 

3.1   General Description 

 
The controller is a microprocessor-based chemical automation system which continuously 
monitors and maintains the pH balance and sanitizer level in a swimming pool or spa. 
 
The pH and sanitizer level (ORP) are displayed using sun-bright seven-segment light emitting 
diodes. The pH and ORP levels are continuously monitored and displayed on the controller’s 
front panel. The ORP/pH controller has been designed to be user friendly.  One MODE button 
and six SET buttons allow the operator to easily set parameters.  
 
The pH display range is 6.0 to 8.4 with a .1 unit resolution. The pH set point is adjustable 
from 7.0 to 8.0 in .1 pH steps with a factory default set point of 7.4 pH.  During a pH feed 
cycle, the pH feed lamp will flash when pH chemicals are being fed and illuminate 
continuously during the feed delay portion of the feed cycle. The pH Alert lamp will illuminate 
when the pH reading is higher or lower than the high and low pH Alert set points and prevent 
the feeding of pH chemicals. The Digital Display numbers will flash and the pump/feeder will 
not activate if the Set Level is not reached within the preset Consecutive Feed Alert Limit. 
The default value is 40 cycles for timed feed mode or 40 minutes for continuous feed mode. 
See appendix for setting Consecutive Feed Alert Limit. 
  
The sanitizer (ORP) display range is 0 to 995 mV with a 5 mV display resolution.  The ORP 
set point is adjustable from 400 to 900 mV with default set point of 650 mV.   
 
During an ORP feed cycle, the ORP feed lamp will flash when sanitizer chemicals are being 
fed and illuminate continuously during the feed delay portion of the feed cycle.  The ORP 
Alert lamp will illuminate when the ORP reading is higher or lower than the high and low ORP 
Alert set points and prevent the feeding of sanitizer chemicals. The Digital Display numbers 
will flash and the pump/feeder will not activate if the Set Level is not reached within the preset 
Consecutive Feed Alert Limit. The default value is 40 cycles for timed feed mode or 40 
minutes for continuous feed mode. See appendix for setting Consecutive Feed Alert Limit. 
  
A manual feed cycle for pH or ORP can be started by pressing the MODE button (placing the 
controller in stand-by mode for either pH or ORP) and then pressing the FEED ONCE button.  
 
The feed cycle is a timed-based ‘feed then delay’ system. The controller has a series of fixed 
feed times (0.6 to 900 sec.) with associated delays as well as a Continuous feed mode.  A 
feed cycle consists of a feed time plus a delay time.  Example: a 30 second feed time 
followed by a five-minute delay would have a 5½ minute feed cycle.  The chemical feeder 
dispenses chemical only during the feed time portion of the cycle and then waits for a delay 
period to allow for chemical to dispense throughout the swimming pool or spa.  
 
The controller incorporates an internal non-volatile memory in which all factory default 
settings as well as field-modified settings are stored.  The internal memory is not affected by 
power interruption and requires no backup battery.
