WARNING
People with infectious diseases should not use a spa or hot tub.
To avoid injury, exercise care when entering or exiting the spa or hot tub.
Do not use drugs or alcohol before or during the use of a spa or hot tub to avoid unconsciousness and possible drowning.
Before entering a spa or hot tub, measure the water temperature with an accurate thermometer.
Do not use a spa or hot tub immediately following strenuous exercise.
Prolonged immersion in a spa or hot tub may be injurious to your health.
Do not permit any electric appliance (such as a light, telephone, radio, or television) within 3.5 metres of a spa or hot tub.
The use of alcohol, drugs or medication can greatly increase the risk of fatal hyperthermia in hot tubs and spas.
Water temperature in excess of 38°C may be hazardous to your health.
WARNING
A terminal bar marked “GROUND” is provided within the controller. To reduce the risk of electrical shock which can cause serious injury or death,
connect this terminal bar to the grounding terminal of your electric service or supply panel with a continuous copper conductor having green
insulation and one that is equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment in accordance with AS/NZS 3000. In addition,
where required, bonding should be extended in accordance with AS/NZS 3000 to any metal ladders, water pipes, or other metal within 3.5 m
of the pool/spa.
CAUTION
Dose pool with a small amount of chlorine before starting the eQ. If no chlorine is sensed the eQ may go to fail safe mode and not start up.
Some Chlorine should be present before starting the unit..
Before installing probes, balance pool water. Total Alkalinity (TA) must be 80 to 140 ppm, Calcium Hardness should be 180 to 250 ppm, and
pH must be between 7.2 and 7.8.
Cyanuric Acid, sometimes referred to as stabiliser or sunscreen will suppress the Chlorine (ORP) reading when the Chlorine sensor is connected.
Refer to section on setting chlorine levels if Cyanuric Acid is present in your pool.
Product is designed to run with ACID diluted in water. A ratio of 2 parts water to 1 part acid (2:1) should always be followed as the machine’s
dosing rate is formulated around the diluted solution.
Attention Installer: Install to provide drainage of compartment for electrical components.
WARNING
The Viron eQ Salt Chlorinator power supply has an IP43 rating, meaning it is suitable for installation outdoors. For safe operation the power
supply must be installed in the correct orientation, with the cables leaving from the bottom of the device. If installing the power supply near the
pool or spa water, you must ensure that the rules of AS/NZS 3000 are followed at all times. AstralPool
®
strongly recommends that installation
be performed by a registered pool builder, electrician or other suitably qualified person.
WARNING
Risk of electric shock - Install the controller at least 3.5 metres from the inside wall of the pool and/or hot tub using non‑metallic
plumbing.
WARNING
If the supply cord is damaged, it must only be replaced by AstralPool, its service agent or a similarly qualified person, in order to avoid a hazard.
The transformer is not intended for series/parallel connection.
Never connect more than one light to a single power supply outlet. Each outlet on the power supply must go to one – and one only – underwater
light (must use AstralPool-only light).
