Start-up Procedures
Connecting the cell cord to the Control Center
Align the three pins of the cell cord plug with the socket on the Control Center
bottom (Part A in the illustration on page 13) and insert the connector until it clicks
in place. There are clips located on either side of the plug on the Control Center --
make sure they are locked into the cell half of the plug.
Resettable Circuit breaker
A six amp resettable circuit breaker is located on the bottom right of the control
panel (illustration on page 15). In the event that the circuit breaker trips, push on
the rubber cover and you will feel it click as it resets.
Special Situations
Flooded Plumbing Installation -- This exists when the water level of the pool is
above the height of the pool equipment. Some pool systems may have valves that
will isolate the equipment. If not, one ball valve should be installed on the inlet side
of the cell and a one-way check valve should be installed on the outlet side of the
cell. This will eliminate the possibility of having a gas build-up (which could cause
possible cell damage) and allow the cell to be removed for cleaning when neces-
sary.
1. Balance your water chemistry according to the Water Chemistry Parameters
shown on page 8. Add the proper amount of salt and circulate 24 hours before
starting the Platinum Chlorinator.
2. Start system at the 75% sanitizer output level and operate normally. For the first
two weeks, test the water every 2-3 days for proper chlorine residual levels. Raise or
lower the sanitizer output by pressing the output control arrows as needed (see
operation instructions on next page), according to your test results.
3. If sanitizer output percentage setting is 100%, and chlorine residuals are still
below the 1-3 PPM range, increase the output to BOOST, the system will run in this
mode for 72 hours, and automatically return the system to 100% after the 72 hours
has expired. The rule of thumb for daily run time of the Platinum system is 1 hour of
operation for every 10 degrees of ambient temperature (i.e. 90 degrees would equal
9 hours of run time).
4. Once your Sanitizer output percentage setting has been established, you should
only need to adjust the output level because of higher chlorine needs than normal,
like increased bather usage or heavy rainfall (that can accelerate consumption of
chlorine).
