is needed once the initial setting is established. 
The selected output level will remain steady when the system is at rest and will begin pulsing when the system is producing t he 
SANITIZING agent. 

Note: The Lectranator Soft Touch Model ST 48 does not test for SANITIZER levels nor automatically adjust to 

maintain a desired SANITIZER level.  This is done by periodically testing the water and adjusting the output levels up or 
down, as needed. 

The Lectranator Soft Touch Model ST 48 is designed with an 

AUTOMATIC TEMPERATURE COMPENSATION feature

, which 

automatically adjusts the output level setting based upon changes in seasonal water temperatures only. This unique feature conveniently 
compensates for warm (more SANITIZER needed) or cold (less SANITIZER needed) water conditions. 
The 

SETUP Mode 

allows the user to program the 

CELL POWER 

and 

REVERSING 

cycle. To enter Setup Mode, press and hold 

the concealed Setup button (small bubble adjacent to the Salt OK light) until the 

CELL POWER 

light begins flashing. The 

Lectranator Soft 

Touch Model ST 48 

is set on 

“ 2 “ 

from the factory. Use the Up/Down Arrows to change the Cell Power setting if needed. Adjust  the 

OUTPUT level at the new setting to maintain proper sanitizer levels. 

WARNING: 

Operating on 

“ 1 “ 

reduces cell power but extends cell life; 

“ 3 “ 

increases cell power but reduces cell life. 

Pressing the Setup Button once more will go to the 

REVERSING 

cycle.  The 

Lectranator Soft Touch Model ST 48 

is set on “

NORMAL

” 

from the factory for ideal cell life.  Use the Up/Down Arrows to select the Reversing cycle. For conditions such as extremely high calcium 
levels or conditions that can cause the cell to scale quicker than the self-cleaning cycle can control, change the setting to “

SHORT

”. 

For optimum water chemistry balance according to the Saturation Index, see page 9, you can change the REVERSING cycle to 

LONG

”. Pressing the setup button once more will leave the Setup Mode and save the programmed Cell Power and Reversing 

settings.  Test your water chemistry parameters monthly and compare to the Saturation Index. 

WARNING

: Changing the Reversing cycle to SHORT will also reduce cell life. However, operating the cell under scaled conditions 

on “Normal” or “Long” is more detrimental to the life of the cell and changing the Reverse cycle is suggested. 

The 

BOOST Button 

activates the Boost light when it is pressed once. This light indicates that the system is in Boost Mode and will 

produce the SANITIZING agent for 24 hours.  The SANITIZING agent can be produced for 72-hours by pressing and holding the 
BOOST button for 5-seconds from the Boost-Off position. This is called the 

Super-Boost Mode

.  A flashing Boost light indicates 

that the system has successfully entered this mode. In either mode, the SANITIZING agent is produced continuously, throughout the 
normal On/Off cycles of the pump and throughout all power line disturbances at an output SANITIZING level of 100% regardless of 
the normal SANITIZINGoutput level setting. The system will discontinue operation of the Boost mode or Super Boost mode if the 
boost button is pressed once more and return to the normal SANITIZING output level setting. The pool/spa pump must be turned on 
during the whole boost cycle.  Do not let the pump run on a timer during that period. 

The 

SALT 

light indicates the salt level in the water. The salt level should be maintained between 2.8 – 3.2 g/l (2800 – 3200 ppm). 

The SALT-

OK 

light will be on if this salt level is achieved. If the salt level drops below 2.5 g/l (2500 ppm), the SALT-

LOW 

light 

will turn on and the system will continue to produce the SANITIZING agent. If the salt level drops below a safe value, the SALT- 

ADD 

light will turn on and the system will no longer continue to produce the SANITIZING agent. 

(

NOTE 

Maintaining high salt levels above recommended range can contribute to corrosion of pool/spa equipment. Salt levels 

exceeding the recommended concentration can be reduced by diluting the pool/spa with fresh water.) See Appendix (page 14) to 
determine your salt level. 

The 

FLOW-OK 

light turns on when there is sufficient flow. Any problems with insufficient water flow is indicated by a Flow-OK 

light that is not on and a Flashing Service Light (single flash pattern). 

The 

SERVICE 

light flashes when service is needed. A Single flash pattern of the service light indicates insufficient water Flow. A 

Double flash pattern of the service light indicates high cell volts and low amps, which is caused by a scaled or failing cell  or a 
loose/defective cell cord. A Triple flash pattern o f the service light indicates high cell volts and low amps, which is caused by a failed 
power supply.  A Quadruple flash pattern of the service light indicates a failed tri-sensor or cord.
