power setting on AutoPilot

[Poolsean]

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 ?

[Poolsean]

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!

[Poolsean]

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.

[hzz]

I also bought the Autopilot mainly due to what was said about it on this forum and especially due to Sean's participation here.

I am very pleased with the unit and Sean has always been there when I needed anything.

Show this to your boss, Sean. Maybe you'll get a raise.....lol

[Poolsean]

Raise...yeah sure. I tried and instead, I get to go to Calgary in a few weeks for a one day round of golf.
I think he will still let me take some time off to take the family to Tampa Busch Gardens afterwards though.

:P

one day of golf... you sales guys...

Thanks Sean, this is very useful!
