Sanitizer Output LED Indicators

The five LED indicators display as a bar graph to show in 20% increments, the amount of time the chlorine is produced per hour. In BOOST mode, these LEDs scroll in a pattern.

Note: If no LEDs are lit, the output is set to 0% and is not producing chlorine.

•0% No LEDs on indicate no chlorine produced - IntelliChlor is off

•20% Produces chlorine 20% of the hour, 12 minutes on, 48 minutes off

•40% Produces chlorine 40% of the hour, 24 minutes on, 36 minutes off

•60% Produces chlorine 60% of the hour, 36 minutes on, 24 minutes off

•80% Produces chlorine 80% of the hour, 48 minutes on, 12 minutes off

•100% Produces chlorine 100% of the hour, 59 minutes on, 1 minute off

Note: If connected to an IntelliTouch/EasyTouch system, these lights may slowly flash when the output

is set to a value not exactly 20%, 40%, 60% 80% or 100%. Example: 21% output setting from the IntelliTouch/EasyTouch will flash the 20% light.

More and Less Output Buttons

The More and Less buttons control the sanitizing cycle as displayed by the sanitizer output display bar graph. Slide the panel cover up to access the More, Less and Boost On/Off buttons.

Note: When connected to an IntelliTouch system the Less and More buttons are disabled and IntelliChlor Sanitizer Output is controlled from the IntelliTouch Indoor Control Panel.

More: Increases the time the cell produces chlorine, in 20% increments. Example: The Sanitizer Output display is showing 20%. Pressing the More button will turn off the 20% light and turn on the 40% light. The unit will now produce chlorine 40% of an hour.

Less: Decreases the time the cell produces chlorine, in 20% increments. Example: The Sanitizer Output display is showing 40%. Pressing the Less button will turn off the 40% light and turn on the 20% light. The unit will now produce chlorine 20% of the hour.

Boost On/Off: Press and hold both the More and Less buttons together to activate Boost mode. Boost mode sets the sanitizer output to run 100% for 24 hours straight. If the time clock switches off the pump cycle, then switches power back on the next day, Boost mode will continue until 24 hours has elapsed or Boost mode is canceled by the user. The Sanitizer Output display will show a pattern LED display to indicate Boost mode. To exit Boost mode, press and hold both the More and Less buttons.

Self Cleaning (reverse)

The unit has a self-cleaning feature that reduces scale buildup on the cell blades. The self-cleaning cycle tends to reduce cell life, so less often is better, however, it is important to minimize the scale buildup on the blades. The cycle can be every 2, 4, 6, 8, or 10 hours. It is factory set to two hours for the first 30 days of operation, then automatically switches to four hours. To change the self-cleaning cycle, press and hold the Less button for three seconds. The sanitizer output display will now correspond to the self-clean cycle. Pressing More or Less button will change this setting.

Example: The self-clean cycle is set to four hours and needs to be two hours. Press and hold the Less button for three seconds. The sanitizer output will blank, then light up the 40% LED light only, indicating four hours. If no button is pressed for five seconds, the display will return to the sanitizer output display. Pressing the Less button within five seconds will now light the 20% LED light, indicating it is now at two hour self-clean cycle. Wait five seconds and this mode will end, returning to the sanitizer output display.
