Section 2a – INSTALLATION Main Components Tri-Sensor Assembly Cell Power FLOW BOOST SALT CHECK SYSTEM Maximum Operating Pressure: 50 psi Maximum Flow Rate: 100 gpm Reversing SuperCell Flow In Soft Touch Control Box CONTROL BOX converts incoming AC power to a Low Voltage DC current, which energizes the Cell(s). Set the Control Box on a vertical surface away from excessive exposure to heat and moisture. Use the template to mark and drill the (4) mounting holes and insert the screws, leaving a ¼” gap.
Section 2b – INSTALLATION Control Box Connections Electrical Connections Autopilot recommends that a licensed electrician or certified electrical contractor perform the electrical connections. DANGER: ensure that the electrical panel or filter pump circuit breaker is turned OFF before wiring this unit. Your Pool Pilot™ Soft Touch Control Box comes pre-wired from the factory for 230VAC (1.5 amps max draw) and can also operate on 115 VAC, (3.0 amps max draw) at 50/60Hz.
Section 2c – INSTALLATION Cell and Manifold Installation Your Pool Pilot System is adaptable for use with either the SC-36, SC-48 or SC-60 cell. All models come pre-assembled with a Patented Automatic Flow Bypass Manifold Assembly. The manifold must be located as the last accessory in the POOL RETURN LINE only. For pool/spa combinations or special plumbing configurations, please contact the factory for assistance in locating the manifold.
Section 3a – OPERATION Key Features Pool Pilot™ Soft Touch The Control Panel Display provides a series of control buttons for OUTPUT level, BOOST mode and SETUP functions, with diagnostic indicator lights for FLOW-OK, SALT and SERVICE. Two additional indicator lights show the selected setup CELL POWER and REVERSING cycle.
Section 3b – OPERATION Pool Water Preparation Salt Requirements It is important that with typical pools, a salt residual of 2500 to 3500 ppm (2,5 – 3,5 g/l) be maintained at all times for peak efficiency. The Pool Pilot™ Soft Touch can also handle special application salt levels of up to 35,000 ppm (35,0 g/l) without any adverse effects to the unit. NOTE: HIGH Salt level does not affect purifier production but can cause corrosion problems with metallic fixtures, light rings, ladders and handrails.
Section 3c – OPERATION Monitoring and Maintenance Water Chemistry Parameters - VERY IMPORTANT NOTE! Your Pool Pilot™ Soft Touch is designed to provide Purifier on a daily basis. We recommend the following water chemistry ranges and periodic checks to monitor your systems efficiency. Always follow all local and state requirements. Biweekly Checks: Free Chlorine: 1.0 – 3.0 PPM Or Bromine: 2.0 – 4.0 PPM pH: 7.2 – 7.
Section 4a –SERVICE and MAINTENANCE CONTROL BOX There are little serviceable parts on the Pool Pilot™ Soft Touch Control Box except the fuses. For any other problems with the Control Box, please contact the Factory or Authorized Dealer/Service Center. To remove the Control Box Cover and access the fuses, follow these steps. DANGER: TURN OFF THE POWER FROM THE CIRCUIT BREAKER BEFORE SERVICING THIS UNIT.
Section 4b –SERVICE and MAINTENANCE Cell The Cell is installed with Unions on each end of the cell to allow quick and easy removal. Loosen the unions and remove the cell from the plumbing. Side View of Cell and Unions VISUAL CELL INSPECTION: The titanium Cell blades, seen inside the Cell body, should be straight and clear of any debris between the blades.

A) The test kit reagents or test strips are old or expired. B) The unit is set too low in relation to purifier demand. C) The circulation run time is insufficient. D) The bather load has increased. A) B) C) D) E) The body of water being purified leaks. F) Low Salt. G) “Cell Power” selection not matched to the cell installed.
Appendix – BUILT-IN DIAGNOSTICS BUILT-IN DIAGNOSTICS The Pool Pilot™ Soft Touch Control Box contains a way to display a diagnostic report on its operation. It allows the user to view the salt concentration, the water temperature, and the Electrolytic Cell voltage and amperage. This is provided for a technician to evaluate the performance of the Pool Pilot without the need for special equipment. The values are measured by counting the number of flashes of the lights, as described below.
