IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
When installing and using this electrical equipment, basic safety precautions should always be
followed, including the following:
READ AND FOLLOW ALL INSTRUCTIONS
l
A green colored terminal or terminal marked G, GR, Ground, Grounding, or the symbol is located
inside the power center terminal box or compartment. To reduce the risk of electric shock, this terminal
must be connected to the grounding means provided in the electric service panel with a continuous
copper wire equivalent in size to the circuit conductors supplying this equipment.
l Follow all state, local, and National Electrical Code(s) (provincial and Canadian Electrical Code(s) if
applicable) unless local guidelines supersede.
l For personal safety, and to avoid damage to equipment, follow all safety instructions displayed on the
equipment and within this manual. Repair and service of your chlorinator must be performed by qualified
service personnel.
l Should you suspect your chlorine generator is not performing properly, refer to the Troubleshooting
section in this manual to determine if service is required.
l Warranties may be voided if the chlorinator has been improperly installed. Failure to properly operate,
maintain or repair the AutoPilot
®
chlorinator may void the factory warranty.
SAFETY SIGNALS
Throughout this manual, safety signals are placed where particular attention is
required.
WARNING - Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or
death.
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
WARNING - Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or death.
l RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - Disconnect all AC power when installing or servicing this system.
Follow all state, local, and National Electrical Code(s) (provincial and Canadian Electrical Code(s) if
applicable). Use copper conductors only.
l RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - To reduce the risk of electrical shock, replace damaged cord
immediately.
l RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - The AutoPilot
®
chlorinator contains no owner-repairable
components. Repairs must not be attempted by untrained and/or unqualified individuals. If service is
deemed necessary, contact installing dealer or AquaCal AutoPilot Customer Support.
l RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - A bonding lug has been provided on the outside of the power center.
This lug permits the connection of a No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) solid copper-bonding conductor (No. 6 AWG
in Canada). Make this connection between the AutoPilot
®
power center and all other electrical
equipment and exposed metal within 5 ft (1.5 m) of the unit. All field-installed metal components (such
as rails, ladders, drains, etc.) within 12 ft (3.6 m) of the pool, spa, or hot tub, must be bonded to the
equipment grounding bus using copper conductors not smaller than No. 8 AWG (8.4 mm
2
) (No. 6 AWG
in Canada).
l RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK - The AutoPilot
®
chlorinators must be installed at least 10 ft (3 m) from
the pool or spa wall.
