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.
