Quimipool UNO Salt Chlorinator Instruction Manual

Quimipool UNO Salt Chlorinator

FUNCTIONS OF THE EQUIPMENT

INSTALLATION DIAGRAM

• The electrical connections at cell level must not point upwards, to avoid any deposits of water or humidity on them.
• The pH corrector container must be kept 2 meters away from any electrical device or any other chemicals. For acid fumes to be expelled outside the pool house, a venting system must be placed on the pH corrector’s hermetic cap. Failure to follow these instructions may lead to abnormal oxidation of metal parts, possibly resulting in complete device failure. Personal protective equipment (glasses with side protection, suitable gloves, refer to the product’s safety data sheet) must be worn 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. Refer to the product’s safety data sheet.

Setting the inversion frequency of the current supplying the cell

Current inversion aims to prevent scale deposits on the cell. Current inversion must be set following the table below in order to ensure that the cell continues to operate correctly in the long term.

Water hardness (°f)| 0 to 2| 2 to 5| 5 to 8| 8 to 12| 12 to 20| 20 to 40| 40 to 60| > 60
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---
Water hardness (mg/L)| 0 to 20| 20 to 50| 50 to 80| 80 to 120| 120 to 200| 200 to 400| 400 to 600| > 600
Reversal frequency (h)| 24 to 16| 16 to 14| 14 to 12| 10| 8| 6| 4| 2

Selecting the chlorinator operating mode

• The choice of operating mode can be seen on the initial display

Setting the production setpoint

Setting the pH setpoint

Setting the ORP setpoint

Boost mode

Boost mode

• sets the production setpoint up to 125 %, for a fixed period.
• can be manually stopped at any time.
• can be used when chlorine is urgently needed.

Boost mode cannot replace a conventional shock treatment in cases of water not fit for bathing.3

• If the Boost mode is restarted manually while it is already running, the Boost mode resets for the duration displayed.
• Boost mode cannot be switched on if an alarm has been triggered. After having resolved and dismissed this alarm, wait a few moments in order to be able to activate the Boost mode.
• When the Boost mode ends or is manually stopped, production continues according to the initial setpoint.
• Boost mode continues after powering off the electronics unit.

Operation with a cover sensor :

• Boost mode cannot be switched on with the cover shut.
• If the cover is closed with Boost mode switched on, Boost mode automatically stops.

Calibrating the probes : important advance information

• The original pH probe is already calibrated. It is therefore not necessary to carry out calibration of the pH probe when putting the equipment into service for the first time.
• However, it is imperative to carry out a calibration of the pH and ORP probes at the beginning of each season when returning to service, and after each probe replacement.

Calibrating the pH probe

1. Open the pH 7 and pH 10 calibration solutions (use only single-use calibration solutions).
2. Turn off the filtration (and therefore the electronics unit).
3. If the probe is already installed :
   • Remove the probe from the probe holder, without disconnecting it.
   • Remove the probe holder nut and replace it with the stopper supplied. If the probe is not already installed: Connect the probe to the electronics unit.
4. Turn on the electronics unit.
5. Go to the « » menu.
6. Navigate through the menus following the instructions below :

Calibrating the ORP probe

1. Open the ORP 475 mV calibration solution.
2. Turn off the filtration (and therefore the electronics unit).
3. If the probe is already installed :
   • Remove the probe from the probe holder, without disconnecting it.
   • Remove the probe holder nut and replace it with the stopper supplied. If the probe is not already installed: Connect the probe to the electronics unit.
4. Turn on the electronics unit.
5. Go to the « » menu.
6. Navigate through the menus following the instructions below :
