Troubleshooting Diagnostic Displays Sequential pushes of the small "diagnostic" button next to the LCD display will cause the AquaTrol to display the following information: 1. Pool temperature (xx degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius) 2. Cell voltage (typically 22.0 to 26.0 volts when chlorine is being generated, otherwise 30-35V) 3. Cell current (typically 2.50 to 4.00 amps when chlorine is being generated, otherwise 0 amps) 4. Desired Output % ("0P" -- "100P" depending on knob position ) 5. Instant salinity ( -xxxx ppm or -x.xx grams/Liter) 6. Product name sent to the display ("AL-6" signifies "AquaTrol" (STD), ("AL-7" signifies "Aqua- Trol Return-Jet") 7. Software revision level (r1.xx) On the 8th push of the button the display will revert back to the default salt display. Also, if the button is not pushed for 30 seconds, the display will revert back to the standard salt display. Common Problems and Solutions 1. "Power" LED not on Check to make sure 120 VAC input power is connected to the AquaTrol control. Verify input voltage with a voltmeter. If there is input power, the fuse may have blown. The AquaTrol is protected by a 20 amp mini ATO fuse located on the circuit board above the cell connector. 2. Filter pump not running Check that the time clock manual switch is in the "auto" (center) position or in the "on" (top) position. If in "auto", then check that the time is correct (check am/pm by using the 24 hour indicator located near the 2 o'clock position) and that the trippers are in the "out" position. 3. "Generating" LED not on The AquaTrol only generates chlorine when the filter pump is running, the main switch is in the "AUTO" or "SUPER CHLORINATE" position, and none of the red fault LEDs are illuminated. 4. "Generating" LED flashing The temperature of the pool water is too high or low to operate. You can override this by switching the main switch to SUPER CHLORINATE. The AquaTrol will run at maximum output for the remainder of the current pump cycle or 24 hours, whichever comes first. 5. "No Flow" LED illuminated The AquaTrol® has sensed a no flow condition and has stopped generating chlorine. Check that the flow switch is plugged into the connector on the bottom of the control unit and that the wire is not cut or damaged. Make sure you have at least 12" of straight pipe before the flow switch. If there is adequate flow and the LED is still on, check that the arrows on the flow switch (on top of hex) are pointing in the direction of flow. 13 USE ONLY HAYWARD GENUINE REPLACEMENT PARTS

Troubleshooting
Diagnostic Displays
Sequential pushes of the small “diagnostic” button next to the LCD display will cause the AquaTrol to
display the following information:
1.
Pool temperature (xx degrees Fahrenheit or Celsius)
2.
Cell voltage (typically 22.0 to 26.0 volts when chlorine is being generated, otherwise 30-35V)
3.
Cell current (typically 2.50 to 4.00 amps when chlorine is being generated, otherwise 0 amps)
4.
Desired Output % (“0P” -- “100P” depending on knob position )
5.
Instant salinity ( -xxxx ppm or -x.xx grams/Liter)
6.
Product name sent to the
display (“AL-6” signifies “AquaTrol” (STD), (“AL-7” signifies “Aqua-
Trol Return-Jet”)
7.
Software revision level (r1.xx)
On the 8th push of the button the display will revert back to the default salt display.
Also, if the button
is not pushed for 30 seconds, the display will revert back to the standard salt display.
Common Problems and Solutions
1.
“Power” LED not on
Check to make sure 120 VAC input power is connected to the AquaTrol control.
Verify input voltage
with a voltmeter.
If there is input power, the fuse may have blown.
The AquaTrol is protected by a 20
amp mini ATO fuse located on the circuit board above the cell connector.
2.
Filter pump not running
Check that the time clock manual switch is in the “auto” (center) position or in the “on” (top) position.
If in “auto”, then check that the time is correct (check am/pm by using the 24 hour indicator located
near the 2 o’clock position) and that the trippers are in the “out” position.
3.
“Generating” LED not on
The AquaTrol only generates chlorine when the filter pump is running, the main switch is in the
“AUTO” or “SUPER CHLORINATE” position, and none of the red fault LEDs are illuminated.
4.
“Generating” LED flashing
The temperature of the pool water is too high or low to operate.
You can override this by switching
the main switch to SUPER CHLORINATE.
The AquaTrol will run at maximum output for the remainder
of the current pump cycle or 24 hours, whichever comes first.
5.
“No Flow” LED illuminated
The AquaTrol
®
has sensed a no flow condition and has stopped generating chlorine.
Check that the
flow switch is plugged into the connector on the bottom of the control unit and that the wire is not
cut or damaged.
Make sure you have at least 12” of straight pipe before the flow switch.
If there
is adequate flow and the LED is still on, check that the arrows on the flow switch (on top of hex) are
pointing in the direction of flow.
