AK110 Chemical Controller Installation and User's Guide
The AK110PS Pool and Spa Chemical Controller ("Controller") is a microprocessor based modular automation system
capable of continuous local or remote monitoring and control of water chemistry for pool and spa applications. The
Controller will maintain the pH and sanitizer levels of your water system automatically. Customized applications are
possiblewiththeadditionofoptionalexpansionmodules.
MODULAR: The Controller is designed to grow with the needs of the customer. There are optional modules that can
be installed as the need arises without having to remove the Controller from the wall.
INTERFACE: The Controller uses a built-in keypad with 16 buttons, and an easy to read 80 character liquid crystal
display.Thedisplay’sinternalback-lightprovidesviewinginlowlightconditions.Theback-lightilluminationtimecanbe

MENUS:
The Controller features easy to use display menus for on screen navigation.
MEMORY:
In case of power loss, all set-points and programming are retained in nonvolatile memory. These values will
be protected for a minimum ten (10) years without having power applied.
DATA RECORDING: The Controller has the ability to record data at 2 hour time intervals. Over 1 month of data can be
recorded before filling up the memory. When the memory is full the new data will overwrite the oldest data.
RELAYS: The Controller can control up to three (3) relays. There are various types of relay configurations available to
different types of load requirements.
DISPLAYS: The Controller can display measurements, relay ON/OFF states, length of time that relays have been on
and the alarm status.
SENSORS: The Controller can measure readings and control based on inputs from the following sensors: temperature,
digital flow,
pH, ORP, and AKColor PPM.
VOLTAGE: The Controller includes a switch to select the input voltage of 110 or 220 VAC (single or dual phase).
HEALTH: The Controller can be configured to maintain the bacteriological and physiological requirements of state and
local health departments. In addition, the Controller has the capability to be configured such that equipment can be
protected from the effects of improper water balance.
REMOTE MONITORING:TheControllercanbeeasilyconguredforremote,fullduplexcommunicationusingan
internal 56K modem and a phone line, or a wireless modem and an internet connection. This feature allows a user
remote access to Controller operations using an MS Windows Based PC and the Acu-Com Software. The Acu-Com
Software is a full featured software package that allows the operator to download recorded data, monitor system
inputs in real time and provides a graphing option that allows for detailed analysis of water system parameters and
performance. In addition, AcuManage II, an online database management system will display data from any internet
enabled Controller.
REMOTE PAGING: With the optional modem installed, the Controller can be programmed to dial out to electronic
paging systems for notifying operators of an alarm condition.
REMOTE EMAILING: With the optional wireless modem installed, the Controller can be programmed to send an email
notifying operators of an alarm condition.
SECURITY: The Controller provides two level security protection based on passwords for both local and remote
interaction.
