Linking DuoClear to a Pool Automation System
T
he DuoClear can run independently or be connected to a Pool Automation System. Two connection
m
ethods are available.
Via an Auxiliary Relay at the Controller
(For installations using non-compatible controllers.)
Using this method the DuoClear main power is connected to an auxiliary relay in the pool automation
system controller. The DuoClear unit is switched on and off as determined by the controller.
The “Output Setting” and the selection of “Super Chlorinate” must be selected at the DuoClear control
panel.The DuoClear will retain these settings when switched on by the controller until they are manually
changed.
The Super Chlorinate function will remain active for a total of 24 operating hours after
being selected.
IMPORTANT:The DuoClear should only have power when there is water flow and actuator valves
should never block the flow when power is on. Refer to the controller’s installation guide for
additional information.
Via a Communications Link
The DuoClear has the capability of being interfaced with a number of controller units:
• Polaris Eos
• Jandy Aqualink RS* (REV K and L)
• Pentair IntelliTouch**
Using this method, main power is supplied to the DuoClear via the controller’s ‘PUMP’ output and a
communications link is made between the DuoClear and the pool automation controller.
Hardwire the DuoClear power pack to the LOAD side of the pool pump relay.While wiring to the
pump relay is the preferred method, the DuoClear main power can be wired to an auxiliary relay.
When the communication link is connected, the pool automation system becomes the master control for
the DuoClear enabling the pool owner to control all settings of the DuoClear via the controller panel.
W
ar
ning messages for check salt and no flow will be displayed at the controller panel.The lights on the
Duoclear will illuminate but the buttons will not function.
When the communication link is removed, control of DuoClear settings returns to the Duoclear
control panel.
NO
TE:
After a c
hang
e is made at the contr
oller
,
it may take several seconds for the change to be
reflected on the DuoClear front panel, this delay depends on the controller being used.
