IntelliChlor Power Center

The Power Center converts AC electrical current to a low voltage DC current which is required by the cell to perform the electrolysis. The power supply is connected with the pool circulation pump electrical source so that the electrolytic cell only operates when the pool pump is on. The enclosure can be mounted vertically on the wall up to 15 feet away from the cell controller. The Power Center contains the transformer, fuse, connector to the cell and the 110 VAC and 220 VAC wiring configuration with the 36 VDC output cable to the cell controller. A fuse holder is mounted on the bottom of this enclosure for additional protection. There are no other controls or lights on the unit. For more information about the Power Center, see the “IntelliChlor Power Center Installation Guide,” (P/N 520590).

IMPORTANT: Before plugging or unplugging the IntelliChlor cell to the Power Center, first switch off the AC power to the Power Center, either by switching off the filter pump or setting the associated circuit breaker to OFF.
