3.9 Operation of External Control/ORP Control Board
An external device such as an ORP (Oxidation Reduction Potential) controller supplying 24 Volts AC can be
used to control the output of the chlorine generator. The chlorine generator power interface board can be set
upintheeldtooperateintwo(2)differentmodes.Themodeofoperationisdeterminedbythepositionof
amovablejumperJ14.SeeFigure17forlocation.
POS-1 (Wait at least one (1) minute after applying power. See note 1.)
WithJ14jumpersettoPOS-1andnovoltageappliedtotheORP24VACconnectorJ15,the
chlorine generator works normally displaying the production rate of 0% to 100% on the display of
the user interface.
When 24 Volts AC is applied to the ORP 24 VAC inputs, chlorine production will be disabled.
Thedisplayoftheuserinterfacewillthenash“EC”(externalcontrol).Oncethe24Volts
AC input is removed the chlorine generator will return to normal operation. The “EC” will be
replaced with the current production setting of 0% to 100%.
POS-2 (Wait at least one (1) minute after applying power. See note 1.)
Placing the jumper in POS-2 allows the chlorine generator to operate in the opposite way to POS-
1. With 24 Volts AC applied to the ORP 24 VAC inputs, chlorine production will be enabled. The
display of the user interface will display a production rate of 0% to 100%. When the 24 Volts AC
isremovedthedisplaywillash“EC”everyfewsecondsandchlorineproductionisdisabled.
SUMMARY
POSITION OF J14 24 VAC 0 VAC
POS-1 (default) Unit OFF, displays EC Unit ON, displays 0-100%
POS-2 Unit ON, displays 0-100% Unit OFF, displays EC
Note 1 The unit samples the external control/ORP settings at the instant power is applied to the chlorine generator
andwillnotrespondtoanychangesduringtherstminuteofoperation.TheunitmayappeartobeSTUCK
IN or STUCK OUT of “EC” mode. Wait several minutes until the unit has warmed up to verify the changes
made to external control set-up.
Note 2 Multiple chlorine generators can be linked together to be controlled with one ORP controller without the use of
external relays and transformers. Contact the factory for more information.
