Here is how to read values from the unit lights:Here is how to read values from the unit lights:
• • GreenGreen ( (Salt HighSalt High) = 100) = 100
• • Blue Blue ((Salt OKSalt OK) = 10) = 10
• • RedRed ( (Salt LowSalt Low) = 1) = 1
So, 1 So, 1 GreenGreen ash, 3 ash, 3 BlueBlue ashes, and 4 ashes, and 4 RedRed ashes would mean 134. ashes would mean 134.
Chlorine Voltage—When in Standby ModeChlorine Voltage—When in Standby Mode
The built-in sensor measures for the absence of chlorine as a small voltage. To view that reading (in The built-in sensor measures for the absence of chlorine as a small voltage. To view that reading (in
millivolts), press the millivolts), press the DownDown button while in standby mode. The button while in standby mode. The WhiteWhite light will ash the power level, light will ash the power level,
and then the and then the GreenGreen, , BlueBlue, and , and RedRed lights will display the current sensor value. When this value is low lights will display the current sensor value. When this value is low
enough (zero point), the enough (zero point), the MegaChlor-CDMegaChlor-CD infers that the chlorine is gone and automatically starts a cycle infers that the chlorine is gone and automatically starts a cycle

Electrode Current (Salt Level)—When Generating ChlorineElectrode Current (Salt Level)—When Generating Chlorine
While generating chlorine, the While generating chlorine, the MegaChlor-CDMegaChlor-CD measures the current going to the electrode—this is measures the current going to the electrode—this is
how it determines which salt light to turn on. To view that reading, press the how it determines which salt light to turn on. To view that reading, press the DownDown button while in a button while in a
generation cycle. The generation cycle. The WhiteWhite light will ash the power level, and then the light will ash the power level, and then the GreenGreen, , BlueBlue, and , and RedRed lights lights
will display the electrode current.will display the electrode current.
If the value is over 440 (4.40 amps), then there is too much salt in the water, and the If the value is over 440 (4.40 amps), then there is too much salt in the water, and the MegaChlor-CDMegaChlor-CD will will
suspend chlorine generation until it detects less salt. This is what is happening when you see both the suspend chlorine generation until it detects less salt. This is what is happening when you see both the
GreenGreen and and Red Red lights on at the same time.lights on at the same time.
On the other hand, if your On the other hand, if your MegaChlorMegaChlor-CD is not making enough chlorine and this value is lower than -CD is not making enough chlorine and this value is lower than
300, feel free to add more salt.300, feel free to add more salt.
Zero PointZero Point
As previously mentioned in the Chlorine Voltage section, As previously mentioned in the Chlorine Voltage section, MegaChlor-CDMegaChlor-CD uses a built-in sensor uses a built-in sensor
to measure for the absence of chlorine. When the sensor value drops below the zero point, your to measure for the absence of chlorine. When the sensor value drops below the zero point, your
MegaChlor-CDMegaChlor-CD starts a chlorine generation cycle. The factory default is 15 starts a chlorine generation cycle. The factory default is 15, which may need to be raised , which may need to be raised
or lowered, depending on the water sourceor lowered, depending on the water source..
After pressing the After pressing the UpUp button, t button, the he WhiteWhite light will ash the power level, and then the light will ash the power level, and then the GreenGreen, , BlueBlue, and , and
RedRed lights will display the zero point value. lights will display the zero point value.
Changing the Zero PointChanging the Zero Point
If you need to adjust the zero point, press and hold the If you need to adjust the zero point, press and hold the UpUp button, and continue holding the button, and continue holding the UpUp button button
through both the power level and zero point displays, which will then end with the through both the power level and zero point displays, which will then end with the WhiteWhite light turning light turning
on solid, at which point you can stop holding the button. While the on solid, at which point you can stop holding the button. While the WhiteWhite light is solid, pressing the light is solid, pressing the UpUp
button will increase the zero point by 1, and pressing the button will increase the zero point by 1, and pressing the DownDown button will decrease it by 1. The range is button will decrease it by 1. The range is
10 to 150, and to let you know when you reach the ends of the range, the 10 to 150, and to let you know when you reach the ends of the range, the RedRed light will be on solid at 10, light will be on solid at 10,
and the and the GreenGreen light will be on solid at 150. light will be on solid at 150.
A higher zero point means that your A higher zero point means that your MegaChlor-CDMegaChlor-CD will start generating chlorine sooner (while there is will start generating chlorine sooner (while there is
more chlorine still in the water), causing the more chlorine still in the water), causing the MegaChlor-CDMegaChlor-CD to turn on more often. Because of this, you to turn on more often. Because of this, you
may need to lower the power level so that it turns on more often for less time.may need to lower the power level so that it turns on more often for less time.
A lower zero point means that the A lower zero point means that the MegaChlor-CDMegaChlor-CD will wait for the chlorine level to drop further before will wait for the chlorine level to drop further before
