PAPI004174-INTER5 pH Regulator

INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

• The pH corrector container must be kept 2 metres away from any electrical device or any other chemicals. In order for acid fumes to be expelled outside the pool house, a venting system must be placed on the pH
  possibly resulting in complete device failure. Personal protective equipment (glasses with side protection, whenever handling the pH corrector or the injection circuit.

• Never use hydrochloric acid, as this may lead to irreversible damage to the device and void the warranty. Only use a sulphuric acid- or alkali-based pH corrector product recommended by your professional dealer. Please note that use of a multi-acid pH corrector requires increased maintenance, and its use may also lead to premature wear of the pH circuit and void the warranty. .

FUNCTIONALITY

Adjustment of the pH setpoint
Calibration of the pH probe
Specification of the type of pH corrector used
Specification of the pH concentration rate used
Manual injection of pH corrector
Adjustment of the pH measurement
Specification of basin volume

Adjustment of the pH setpoint
Possible settings : from 6.8 to 7.6, in steps of 0.1.
Default setting : 7.2.

1. Make a long press on the right key until the message NA flashes.
2. Press the up or down key x times until the message SE flashes.
3. Press the right key : the flashing value is the saved setpoint.
4. Select a value with the up/down keys.
5. Press the right key to validate : the selected value freezes briefly, then the message SE flashes.
6. Press the left key twice to return to the default display.

Calibration of the pH probe
The supplied pH probe is already calibrated. It is therefore not necessary to calibrate the pH probe when the equipment is put into service for the first time.
However, in order to ensure optimal pH regulation, it is imperative to calibrate the pH probe at the start of each season when putting back into service, and after each replacement of the probe.

1. Switch off the filtration (and therefore the electronics box).

2. Open the standard solutions pH 7 and pH 10 (use only single-use standard solutions).

3. If the probe is already installed :
   a) Extract the probe from the probe holder, without disconnecting it.
   b) Remove the nut from the probe holder and replace it with the plug provided.
   If the probe is not yet installed : Connect the probe to the electronics box.

4. Switch on the electronics box.

5. Make a long press on the right key until the message flashes.

6. Press the up or down key x times until the message flashes.

7. Press the right key to validate : the message flashes.

8. Insert the probe into the pH 7 standard solution, then wait a few minutes.

9. Press the right key : the display below appears.
   Do not touch the probe during this time, and wait until you get one of the displays below.

10. 2 Possibilities :
    The message flashes. In this case, go to step 11.
    The message is displayed : calibration failed. To acknowledge this display, press the left key.
    In this case, visually check the condition of the probe, then attempt the calibration again, several times if necessary. If the calibration still fails, change the probe and recalibrate.

11. Insert the probe into the pH 10 standard solution, then wait a few minutes.

12. Press the right key : the display below appears.
    Do not touch the probe during this time, and wait until you get one of the displays below.

13. 2 Possibilities :
    The message is displayed briefly, then the message flashes. Calibration is complete.
    The message is displayed : calibration failed. In this case, visually check the condition of the probe, then attempt the calibration again, several times if necessary. If the calibration still fails, change the probe and recalibrate.
    To acknowledge these displays, press the left key twice : the default display appears.
    The pH 7 and pH 10 standard solutions are for single use. To avoid handling errors, discard these solutions after use.

Specification of the type of pH corrector used

Default setting : AC

1. Make a long press on the right key until the message NA flashes.
2. Press the up or down key x times until the message C0 flashes.
3. Press the right key : the flashing message corresponds to the type of pH corrector recorded.
4. Select a type of pH corrector with the up/down keys.
5. Press the right key to validate : the type of pH corrector selected freezes briefly, then the message C0 flashes.
6. Press the left key twice to return to the default display.

Specification of the pH concentration rate used

Possible settings: from 5 to 55 (i.e. from 5% to 55%, in steps of 1%).
Default setting: 37

1. Make a long press on the right key until the message NA flashes.

5. Press the right key to validate : the selected value freezes briefly, then the message CC flashes.
6. Press the left key twice to return to the default display.

Manual injection of pH corrector
This function also allows you to prime the peristaltic pump.
Possible settings of the injection duration : from 1 to 60 (i.e. from 1 s to 60 s, in steps of 1 s), then from 11 to 95 (i.e. from 1 min 10 s to 9 min 50 s, in steps of 10 s).
