power setting on AutoPilot

[Poolsean]

I'll get that information to you if someone can tell me how to attach a document.

never tried to attach a document.

if it's on the autopilot web site, just point us in that direction.

It doesn't seem too difficult. Click on "Go Advanced" (next to "Quick Reply") at the bottom, then click on "Manage Attachments" at the bottom. There is a maximum file size but it's sufficiently generous for a small table. I attached a random picture from a visit to a power plant (the water chemistry lab, of all places...). A PDF document would be best. Putting it on the Autopilot web site would be even better.

Thanks!

The Automatic Temperature Compensation adjustments run along this chart. These are not absolute values and may fluctuate +- 2-3 degrees.

Thanks for digging this out for us Sean.

Can you tell me the relative power settings at the different leves 1, 2, and 3 ?

Cell Power 1 = 5.0 amps
Cell Power 2 = 6.5 amps
Cell Power 3 = 8.0 amps

Normal operating Volts depends on the cell.
SC-36 = 16 - 19 volts
SC-48 = 23 - 27 volts
SC-60 = 21 - 26 volts
when the salt is low, cell is scaled, water temperature gets colder, or cell is wearing out, the voltage will rise to 28-29 volts. At that point the amperage will drop. This is where you start seeing the warning lights appear.
This is SPECIFICALLY for the Pool Pilot system. However, you'll see the same affects on the cell due to the same reasons.

Great. Now I can understand where I'm going.

Thanks a lot. By the way. Wave this message in front of the people that write your paycheck. The primary reason I bought the Autopilot Digital was your participation on this forum. At the very least you deserve a gold star!

Thanks Brent. I appreciate that.
hmmm, if you noticed, I changed my "signature" to commercial sales from Technical Support. I wonder if my boss will consider this into my sales commisions.

Thanks Sean, this is very useful!
