e.g.: The air temperature is 28.5°C| The air temperature accompanied by the pictogram
---|---
e.g.: The water temperature is 24.0°C| The water temperature accompanied by the pictogram

Info
Adherence to the North-South orientation of the Radio Relay improves the accuracy of air temperature measurement.
If the installation includes two Radio Relays, the one whose jumper is ON will provide these values, see Adding a Radio Relay and/or Inner Display [→Page 80]. In the event of an offset between a displayed temperature value and the reference value provided  by a standard device, it is possible to recover this offset through the “calibration” menu, see Calibration mode [→Page 75].

5.2.2.2 Detection of the risk of frost (water and air)

The air temperature is -2.5°C

The water freeze pictogram is displayed if the water temperature is below +3°C. There is a risk of ice formation, it is necessary to intervene to avoid damage on the pool and on the hydraulic installation.

• active wintering: force the pump to fight against the formation of frost, the probes can then remain in the water. This frost-free function is automatic when INTELLIPOOL is paired with the INTELLIPOOL Probe Unit.
• passive wintering: take the probes out of the bypass and replace the probes on the probes for their preservation.
  The Inner Display will then display measured values in the water of the protective cushions.

For more details, see the chapter “Wintering of your pond”.

The water temperature is 0.5°C

The gel pictogram related to the air temperature is displayed if the temperature measured by the Radio Relay is less than +3°C.

5.2.3 pH trend

1. pH trend (update every 2h)
   •  the pH rises
   • the pH is stable
   • the pH drops

2. The pH has reached alarm value
   • the pH has reached the maximum alarm value (factory pre-set at 6.7 can be modified through the alarm menu, see Alarm mode [→Page 72])
   • the pH has reached the minimum alarm value (factory pre-set at 7.9 can be modified through the alarm menu, see Alarm mode [→Page 72])

3. Measured pH value
   • Limited display between 0 and 9.9
   • Display out-of-limit value:

   ---

4. Alarm setpoint compliance
   • pH according to alarm setpoints (factory pre-set from 6.7 to 7.9)
   • pH outside the alarm setpoint values (“min” and “max” indicate if the value is too low or too high)

The pH is a quantity (without units) measuring the acidity (0 to 7) or alkalinity (7 to 14) of the basin.
The pH is the concentration of hydrogen ions. For a swimming pool, the ideal pH generally recommended is close to 7.3 (to be confirmed with your pool owner depending on your installation).

Tip
The accuracy of the pH measurement is related to the regular maintenance of the pH probe. It is advisable to check it regularly for any contamination (see Cleaning the pH or RedOx probe [→Page 87] and to calibrate it before the summer season (see Calibration mode [→Page 75]).

Info
The set values of the high and low pH alarms are factory pre-set to 6.7 and 7.9. These values can be modified through the alarm mode (see Alarm mode [→Page 72]).

CAUTION
pH too high or too low!
Skin irritation
√ Ensure that:
√ the cylinder has been removed from the pH probe (see Installation of probes [→Page 42])
√ the pH probe was calibrated less than 6  months ago (see Calibration mode [→Page 76])
√ pH probe is not clogged (see Cleaning the pH or RedOx probe [→Page 87])

• manual regulation: put the product “pH-” or “pH+” according to the pH drift.
• automatic regulation: check the proper functioning of the equipment.

If the pH value is Hi or Lo, check that an air bubble at the bottom of the pH probe does not distort the measurement. Shake the device (like a mercury thermometer) so that, by centrifugal force, any air bubble rises.

5.2.4 Conductivity Trend

1. Conductivity trend (updated every 2 hours)
   • conductivity rises
   • conductivity is stable
   • conductivity decreases

2. Conductivity has reached alarm value
   • the conductivity has reached the maximum alarm value (factory pre-set at 50 μS, can be changed on the alarm menu, see Alarm mode [→Page 72])
   • the conductivity has reached the minimum alarm value (factory pre-set at 1200 μS, can be changed on the alarm menu, see Alarm mode [→Page 72])

3. Value of measured conductivity
   • display limited between 0 and 1999
   • value out of display limit:
   

4. Unit used
   • g/l unit used for salt electrolysis
   • µS unit used without salt electrolysis
   The choice of the conductivity unit (μS or g/l) is made by the mode calibration/change of units (see Calibration mode [→Page 75]).
   If the display uses μS as the unit of measurement and the value rises above 1999 μS, it will automatically switch to g/l.
   Tap water has a conductivity generally between 300 and 600 μS in France.

5. Alarm setpoint compliance
   • conductivity in accordance with alarm setpoints (factory pre-set from 50 μS to 1200 μS)
   • conductivity outside the alarm setpoint values (“min” and “max” indicate if the value is too low or too high)

Conductivity is the ability of a water to allow the passage of electric current, conductivity is proportional to the concentration of dissolved minerals (derived in part from water treatment products).

Info
The value in μS reveals “the age of the water in the basin”.
ΜS/ g/L match: 1000 μS = 0.63 g/L and 1 g/L = 1587 μS.

• Conductivity in a salt electrolysis tank (in g/l)
  – the conductivity is too low (depending on the type of electrolyser): add salt up to the value recommended by your electrolyser.
  – the conductivity is too high (depending on the type of electrolyser): renew the water in the basin (emptying + filling) until the desired value is obtained

• The conductivity in a pool without salt electrolysis (in μS/cm)
  – The conductivity is too high (>1200 μS, modifiable default alarm value): renew the pool water (drain + fill) until a value of less than 1200  μS is obtained. A water with a conductivity greater than 1200  μS is called “buffered”, the treatments then become ineffective.

Info
A zero (or close to zero) conductivity value indicates the presence of air in the probe tube.

5.2.5 RedOx Trend

1. RedOx Trend (Updated every 2h)
   • the RedOx
   • redOx is stable
   • the RedOx decreases

2. RedOx has reached alarm value
   • the RedOx has reached the maximum alarm value (factory pre-set at 800 mV modifiable through the alarm menu, see Alarm mode [→Page 72])
   • the RedOx has reached the minimum alarm value (factory pre-set at 550 mV modifiable through the alarm menu, see Alarm mode [→Page 72])

4. empty disinfectant tank
   • option on a metering pump equipped with a low level detection cannula

5. Alarm setpoint compliance
   • RedOx complies with alarm setpoints (factory pre-set 550-800mV)
   • RedOx outside the alarm setpoint values (“min” and “max” indicate if the value is too low or too high)

Concentration rate of disinfectant (chlorine, bromine, active oxygen…) present in the basin.
For this measure of “disinfection power” it is commonly advised to stay between 650  mV and 750 mV.The oxidation-reduction potential indicates the quality of oxidant present in the water. It is the result of the ratio of the amount of disinfectant to the amount of pollution.

CAUTION
RedOx too high can damage elements of the basin!
RedOx too low can be dangerous for hygiene!
√ ensure that:
√ the spigot has been removed from the RedOx probe (see Probe Unit [→Page 20])
√ the RedOx probe is not clogged (see Cleaning the pH or RedOx probe [→Page 87])

• manual regulation: Add disinfectant (chlorine, bromine, active oxygen, etc.) to the desired value.
• automatic regulation: Check the proper functioning of the equipment with your pool owner.

5.2.6.3 Radio mode

Info
The elements making up a set INTELLIPOOL are paired automatically by a unique radio code which prevents any risk of interference with other INTELLIPOOL (neighbourhood…).

This RADIO mode allows you to add to an existing INTELLIPOOL:

• a no.  2 Radio Relay in order to overcome difficult radio range situations (relief, very long distances, etc.);
• an Inner Display no.  2 in order to take advantage of a second source of reading of the information of your pool.

5.2.7 Audible Alarm Status

On the Inner Display, an audible alert for the various alarms as well as a discreet beep are available.
This pictogram illustrates the activation and deactivation of the sound accessible by the switch located on the back of the Inner Display.

5.2.8 Out-of-water probes

pHand RedOx (ORP) probes should always be soaked in water to avoid drying out.
Normally, probes are always in the water. For any reason, if air is present in the piping, check the presence of air intake as well as the proper sealing of the hydraulic circuit.

5.2.9 Battery level

The level of the batteries is displayed under the pictogram representing each element concerned.
Battery life is longer than 1 year but may vary depending on weather and usage conditions.
As soon as the level is at “Low Batteries”, the batteries must be changed: (Radio Relay: 4 X LR6/Inner Display: 4 X LR6), see Alkaline battery replacement [→Page 89].

5.2.10 Radio Signal Strength

The network radio range INTELLIPOOL Probe Unit depends on the geographical set-up of the Radio Relay and of the Inner Display, the following points can reduce its good performance:

• a long distance;
• a swimming pool raised above the house;
• the presence of a perimeter wall;
• the materials of the house (reinforced concrete or metal buildings);
• the support of the Radio Relay (metal stake or galvanized rainwater downspout).

If after testing different Radio Relay location configurations the network signal is still too weak or non-existent, place a second Radio Relay between the technical room and the Inner Display in order to optimize the signal strength (perform tests before fixing  the elements). Adding an element to the radio network involves learning it (see Adding a Radio Relay and/or Inner Display [→Page 80]).

Operations

6.1 Commissioning

Maintenance

7.1 Maintenance
Clean the outside of the various items with a dry microfiber cloth. Do not use solvents, abrasives or acids.

7.2 Wintering of the INTELLIPOOL (T° water < +3.0°C)

• Over-wintering: the forced operation of the pump prevents the formation of ice on the surface.
• passive wintering: lowering of the water level under the discharge nozzles, draining of the pipes, installation of wintering floats, installation of a shutter…

Pool active overwintering
The probes may remain in place up to a temperature greater than or equal to +3°C. of the water. If the temperature is below +3°C, there is a risk of irreversible damage to the pH and RedOx probes.

1. Be sure to keep the water temperature above +3°C (filtration activation).

If the INTELLIPOOL Probe Unit is connected to the INTELLIPOOL Control Centre, the latter integrates a frost free function.

7.3 pH and RedOx probes
Deposition of scale or suspended elements in the basin may occur. The probes are fragile measuring elements, they should be cleaned carefully.

1. If foreign matter is deposited, clean the tip of the probes with a small soft brush (soft toothbrush) and then rinse them thoroughly under water (see Cleaning the pH or RedOx probe [→Page 87]).
2. If scale is deposited, immerse the tip of the probe in pure white vinegar for a minimum of 5  minutes and then rinse thoroughly under water (see Cleaning the pH or RedOx probe [→Page 87]).
3. Re-calibrate the pH probe before each season or every 6  months (see Calibration mode [→Page 76]).

7.4 Radio Relay and Inner Display
Radio Relay
The Radio Relay being fixed to the outside, the appearance of traces of deposition is quite normal.

1. Clear and clean the lens of any bodies obstructing the window (sheets, stains, etc.)

Inner Display
The Inner Display is exclusively intended for inner use. Exposure to sunlight (UV) or rain can irreversibly damage it.

1. Do not subject the device to shocks or forces that could impair the operation or limit the life of the device.
2. Do not immerse the appliance in water.
3. Clean the exterior with a micro-fiber cloth or sponge. Do not use solvents, abrasives or acids.

7.5 Cleaning the pH or RedOx probe

Mandatory
Wearing glasses is mandatory!
Info
Deposition of scale or suspended elements in the basin may occur. The probes are fragile measuring elements, they should be cleaned with care, and most particularly the platinized surfaces of the electrodes of the conductivity probe should not be scratched.

Physical cleaning of the probe in case of presence of an element in the protective cage
Depending on the environment of the probe, organisms may develop and disrupt the measurement. It then becomes necessary to physically clean the end of the probe (pH or RedOx).

1. Carefully unscrew the protective cage by hand.
   

2. Using a toothbrush previously soaked in white vinegar, gently brush the tip of the probe until the foreign body is completely removed.
   

3. Rinse the tip of the probe thoroughly under running water for 5 minutes.
   

4. Screw the protective cage back on gently.

5. For pH probe only, calibrate the probe.

Chemical cleaning of the probe (no element must be present in the protective cage)

1. Soak the tip of the probe for at least 10 minutes in white vinegar.

2. Rinse the tip of the probe thoroughly under running water for 5 minutes.
   

3. Calibrate the probe for pH probes only.

7.6 Alkaline battery replacement
The life of the batteries supplied is more than one year (depending on the conditions of use).
New batteries must be alkaline type, do not use rechargeable batteries.

CAUTION
Batteries can contain dangerous substances, they should not be thrown in the trash. Do not open them or throw them in the fire under penalty of explosion.

Recycle batteries at appropriate collection centres.

Info
Remove batteries when not in use for a long time.

7.6.1 Changing the Radio Relay Batteries
Caution – material
Since the Radio Relay is subjected to very high heat, it is necessary to use high-quality alkaline batteries that withstand temperatures of  +70°C. (e.g. DURACELL PROCELL batteries).
