Display shows "FLO" SALT and CELL LED blinking RED. FLOW LED blinking GREEN. Display shows "LOSS" SALT and FLOW LED blinking RED. Display alternates between output percentage and a 24 hours countdown timer. iChlor unit does not have power. POSSIBLE CAUSE iChlor cell was powered with an "AC" power supply, or the unit had detected an "AC" input voltage. iChlor unit has detected a "low current" condition, and is placing the unit in a "safety lock". iChlor unit has detected a "bad flow switch" condition, and is placing the unit in a "safety lock". iChlor unit has detected a "loss of communication" with an IntelliFlo or IntelliCenter (loss safety device), and is placing the unit in a "safety lock". iChlor cell is in "Boost" mode operation. Fuse in Power Center is blown. No incoming power to Power Center. Transformer leads not wired correctly in Power Center. CORRECTIVE ACTION Make sure iChlor is plugged into an IntelliChlor Power Center, or an iChlor Power pack (old IntelliChlor IC15 Power Packs cannot be used with iChlor). Inspect Flow Switch functionality by turning the pump off, while iChlor unit is powered. Confirm flow switch LED turns RED (no flow). If Flow switch LED stays GREEN with NO water flow, replace flow switch immediately or remove iChlor unit until a flow switch replacement is available (Do Not run the unit with a faulty flow switch!). Inspect the cell for any calcium build-up, and clean if necessary. After inspecting the unit, restart iChlor (power off-on), and confirm everything is working properly. Inspect Flow Switch functionality by turning the pump off, while iChlor unit is powered. Confirm flow switch LED turns RED (no flow). If Flow switch LED stays GREEN with NO water flow, replace flow switch immediately or remove iChlor unit until a flow switch replacement is available (Do Not run the unit with a faulty flow switch!). To manually clear this condition, the unit requires "user acknowledgement" (passcode). Passcode will be 1-2-3 (which can be entered by pressing "LESS" and "MORE" Buttons in the following sequence: LESS - MORE - MORE - LESS - LESS - LESS If communication is restored, iChlor will resume operation. To manually clear this condition, the unit requires ""user acknowledgement"" Passcode will be 1-2-3 (which can be entered by pressing "LESS" and "MORE" Buttons in the following sequence: LESS - MORE - MORE - LESS - LESS - LESS Press both (LESS and MORE) buttons together, to turn "Boost" mode OFF if needed. Replace fuse located in the Power Center. Fuse information can be found on the wiring label inside the Power Center cover. Verify time clock is providing 110 VAC or 220 VAC to Power Center when active. Verify transformer leads wired properly, by referring to wiring diagram decal on inside of Power Center cover. iCHLOR® Salt Chlorine Generator Installation and User's Guide
