Connecting to Power (Continued)
Wiring to Power Source:
Always double-check the voltage of your power source. Connection to improper voltage can: a) cause severe
damage/harm, or b) cause lights and screen to power on without system function.
For operation, the Control Module may be wired in to the pump's power source so that both turn on and off together, or
energized continuously for use with variable speed pumps (Flow switch will control Cell power but lights will remain on).
The Control Module comes with an un-terminated Power Cord (AC Input) which is typically connected to an external timer,
which will turn the pump and Control Module on and off together. Have the Control Module wired to the load side of the
timer by a qualified person. See the following diagram for typical wiring.
In some parts of the United States and Canada, the Control Module must be connected to a circuit protected by a Class A
ground fault interrupter (GFI). Check local codes before connecting.
For use with Variable Speed Pumps: When used with variable-speed or other electronically controlled pumps, you may
wish to wire the Control Module directly to your power source. This will allow the pump to determine when the Cell is
energized or dormant by activation of the Flow Switch.
Power Protection Mechanisms:
The Control Module’s advanced digital switch-mode power supply has built-in power protection mechanisms. There are
no additional fuses or circuit breakers that you need to access on this unit..
At this point, this installation of your equipment is complete. If the water has not yet been prepared, then you are ready
to begin adding salt and balancing your water chemistry, see pages 6-8. Turn the Control Module to the Power Off mode
until enough salt has been dissolved in the water.
