Appendix II - 1 Mounting the SYSTEM4 Chapter 1-1 Fig the SYSTEM4 - Chapter 1 The STRANTROL SYSTEM4 should be mounted to the wall. Make sure that the SYSTEM4 is mounted in a locationthat is easily accessible, (Fig ) free from chemical fumes and excessive heat, isolated from electricalinterference, and powered by a power source protected by a ground fault interrupter. The SYSTEM4 enclosureis weather resistant, but if mounting outdoors, locating the unit under a hood or overhang is flowcell can be mounted using two different techniques: Mount the flowcell next to the controller and run tubing from the flowcell to the sampling point (afterfilter, before heater) and discharge (before recirculation pump) of the recirculation system.

6 (Fig )Fig GuideChapter 1-2 Refer to Signal Transmitter (p 3-10).Fig FlowcellChapter 2-1 Plumbing Flowcell - Chapter 2 Assembling the flowcell First, wrap each fitting three times around clockwise with the Teflon tape provided. Install ball valves to allow isolation of the sample lines. Once you have finished assembling the flowcell, close the valves. Install the Paddlewheel Flow Switch in the sample stream. Make sure you only wrap the male fittingthree times with Teflon tape so as not to risk breaking the female fitting on the Paddlewheel FlowSwitch.

7 (Fig ) Warning Failure to incorporate a flow switch into the sample stream of yourUSFilter chemical controller can result in injury or harm to swimmers in or aroundthe pool if the recirculation pump should fail or shut the flowcell Half-inch tubing is recommended for sample stream pickup and return. We have included twoconnector fittings with the flowcell if needed. For the sampling point of the flowcell, tap downstream (after) of filter and upstream (before) of heaterand chemical injection points.

8 For the discharge point of the flowcell, tap upstream (before) of recirculation pump. (Fig ) Remove the cap to the pH and HRR sensors. Clean tips with a toothbrush and dish soap and then a lightacid (10% muratic). Screw pH, HRR and Temperature sensors into flowcell. (Fig )Fig GuideChapter 2-2 Checking the Flowcell Open the sample stream valves and check for leaks. Make sure the compound pressure gauge is showing a positive and steady pressure. Adjust the valves or relocate point at which the sample stream is connected to the recirculation system toensure positive and steady pressure.

9 Allow the sensors to rinse in the sample flowcell while you do the wiring. Open wet-test valve and make sure that it generates a vigorous StartupChapter 3-1 System Startup - Chapter 3 SYSTEM4 Board TypesThis page describes connections that your STRANTROL representative needs to makein order for your SYSTEM4 to function. Connections are presented in order ofboard type (or location):KeyDescription2 Input Board (Fig )1 CPU Board (Fig )Fig GuideChapter 3-2 Running Power to SYSTEM4 Open SYSTEM4 and place lid to the left, lining up the right two holes of the lid with the left two holes ofthe base.

10 (Fig ) If you are planning to use pigtails for the power, be sure to use NEMA 4X cord grips and plugs forunused holes. Locate Terminal labeled TB5 . Run 120 VAC, 60Hz, 15 AMP surge protected Line (Black) to terminal labeled Line . (Both Line terminals are connected.) Run Ground (Green) to terminal labeled Ground . (All three Ground terminals are connected.) Run Neutral (White) to terminal labeled Neutral . (All three Neutral terminals are connected.)
