4.5 Manual start-up
In addition to operating via the timer, the Ei can also be started and stopped manually by pressing the
key.
The appliance will then operate until the next ‘OFF’ stop time if no production time period has been
specifi ed, then will switch back to the programmer’s mode. This function may be very useful to conduct
some tests.
WARNING:
The Ei chlorinator is fi tted with a safety mechanism in order to prevent excess chlorine
production which automatically cuts off production if the production period exceeds 30 continuous
hours.
If the Ei appliance is started manually and no stop time has been programmed (continuous fi ltration
activation), the appliance will operate without any interruption for a 30 hours maximum time period,
then it will turn the power off automatically (‘OFF’) in order to avoid an overload of chlorine.
4.6 External clock use (fi ltration control box)
In some cases, it may be necessary to link the Ei appliance to an external clock (coupled to the fi ltering
system). In this case, the chlorine production can only be carried out within fi ltering operational times
Process:
1. Start the pool fi ltering system in order to start the Ei chlorinator (5 second initialisation)
2. Turn on the Ei chlorinator
key) and set the chlorine production level you need (
key). See
the
Setting chlorine production
below.
3. Set the external clock (fi ltering command box) in order to programme the operating times.
NOTE
: It is strongly recommended to use the programmer (timer) even when the Ei chlorinator is
controlled by the fi lter system. This will avoid the triggering of the “excess production” safety device
when the fi ltering system is switched on for long periods.
4.7 Setting chlorine production
1. Turn on the Ei chlorinator by pressing the
key.
2. Press the
key to adjust the level of chlorine production. The minimum release level corresponds
to the fi rst green visual indicator (approximately 20%) and the increments (Green visual
indicators) are per additional 20% units, one at a time, up to the maximum (4 green indicators lit
simultaneously).
3. If you maintain the
key pressed and exceed the maximum, the chlorine production level will drop
back to the minimum (orange indicator).
NOTE:
The chlorine production level display indicates a setting and does not correspond to the ‘real’
chlorine production, as it only expresses a desired level of production.
The production level corresponds to a percentage of the operating cycle, as, for example:
> 1
st
orange indicator lit (20%) = 2 minutes of production, 8 minutes of pause
> 3 green indicators lit (80%) = 8 minutes of production, 2 minutes of pause.

Connecting to an external timer (home automation)
If you use a centralised control system (or an external
controller) to control your pool, your Ei chlorinator must be
set to allow communications between the two appliances.
< Example of a timer
5.1 Setting the type of external timer
IMPORTANT NOTE:
The timer type must be set before connecting the control cables to the external
control box.
Process:
1. Switch on the Ei appliance.
2. Wait for the completion of the boot sequence (a few seconds) but leave it ‘OFF’.
3. Press and maintain the
key. After approximately 5 seconds the current external timer model will
be displayed.
4. Maintain the
key pressed until the desired model is displayed.
5. Release the
key. The Ei appliance will return to the default LCD screen.
WARNING
: users of Jandy ‘REV L’ or more recent versions It is essential that the external controller
setting be set to JANDY L/M if a Jandy Aqualink ‘Rev L’ controller or a more recent version is to be
connected. If the wrong setting is selected the Jandy Aqualink control unit may be damaged.
5.2 Precautions when wiring an external controller
IMPORTANT:
The wiring of the controller should be performed by an experienced pool specialist.
Before connecting or disconnecting any wires make sure the power supply to both the external timer
and the Zodiac Ei unit has been cut off.
When the Ei chlorinator is connected to a controller it is in slave mode and responds to requests.
In this case the Ei Timer settings are ignored and the chlorine production level cannot be changed.
All the other ‘MENU’ functions are still available.
