INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

Wall-mounted installation

Before installing the control unit in the intended location, check that the power cord can reach the protected outlet and the cell cable can reach the intended location.
Disconnect the pool filtration pump before starting the installation. The system must be installed by the standards currently in force in the country of installation. The Minisalt supply unit must be fitted a minimum horizontal distance of 1.5 m (or more, if required from local regulations) from the pool.
Fix the box and the measuring chamber on the wall (optional). Caution, acid vapors can cause irreversible damage to your device. Position the treatment product tanks accordingly.
The box must be placed vertically on a flat surface, with the cable downward. As this box is used to evacuate heat (heat from internal components), the four sides of the box must remain unobstructed. Do not install the Minisalt behind a panel or in an enclosed space.
The cell must be installed horizontally with the electrical connections pointing downwards or upwards to prevent the accumulation of water near them.
The electrical connections at cell level must point downwards, to avoid any deposits of water or humidity on them.
