6.3.c Manual Cleaning
WARNING - Failure to heed the following may result in permanent injury or death.
l CHEMICAL HAZARD - To avoid damaging splashes always add acid to water, never water to acid.
Wear safety glasses and use other appropriate personal protection equipment.
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
l Scraping or scratching the titanium blade’s edge or surface will damage the blade catalyst coating and
cause premature failure of the cell... warranty will be voided. Never use any sharp or metallic objects to
remove scale.
Figure 9
1.
Place a PLA0113 cell cleaning plug (AutoPilot
®
accessory) on the end of the cell
as shown. A 1 ½” MPT clean out plug may also be used and can be purchased in
the PVC plumbing section at most pool supply or home improvement stores.
2.
Fill the capped cell with water 2 inches from the top of the cell blades.
3.
Fill the rest of the cell with muriatic acid. This allows for an approximate 1-to-4
solution. Always add the acid to the water. If you do it the other way around, it can
cause the solution to spray back causing serious injury.
4.
Allow the solution to sit in the cell for 15 minutes or until the acid stops bubbling.
5.
Safely dispose of the solution; pouring it into the pool is recommended.
6.
Remove the cap and rinse the cell with light water pressure; re-inspect the cell,
and repeat acid cleaning if the cell is still scaled.
6.3.d Installing
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
l The Digital Nano system is to be used ONLY with an PPC1 cell. Use of any other cell may cause
equipment damage and void warranty.
l The Digital Nano+ system can be used with the larger PPC2 or the smaller PPC1 cell (it is normally
shipped with the PPC2 cell).
CAUTION - Failure to heed the following may result in equipment damage.
l The electrical terminals must be completely dry to avoid corrosion and failure of the cell or cable.
l Ensure that the cell cable is fully engaged. A partially seated cable may result in damage to the cable or
cell during operation.
1.
Clean and dry the electrical pins on the cell. The contacts must be completely dry to avoid corrosion
and failure of the cell or cable.
2.
Ensure the union o-rings are in place; then place the cell into the manifold with cell pins pointed
upward. See Figure 7.
3.
If necessary, use water to rinse away any dirt and debris on the union and then tighten the unions by
hand for a watertight seal. The cell cable has three (3) electrical contact pins. The cell will have two (2)
electrical pins. Position the cell plug so the two (2) open holes align with two mating terminals and push
gently, but firmly, to connect. Use the red weather plug (supplied) to seal the unused contact in the
cable.
4.
Turn on the system.
5.
Check for leaks and proper operation.
