IntelliChlor Power Center Installation Guide
Power Center Overview
The IntelliChlor™ system comprises of a Power Center and electrolytic Cell. The Power Center converts AC
electrical current to a low voltage DC current required by the IntelliChlor electrolytic cell to operate and create
chlorine for the swimming pool and spa. The Power Center is connected with the pool circulation pump
electrical source so that the electrolytic cell only operates when the pool pump is on. It is recommended that a
pool pump timer be used to save on energy and prolong the service life of your pool pump and IntelliChlor. A
timer is not included as part of the Power Center kit. The IntelliChlor Power Center can be connected to an
IntelliTouch or EasyTouch system for automation control.
The Power Center enclosure can be mounted vertically on a flat surface such as a wall or post no more than
15 feet away from the cell controller. The Power Center houses the transformer, fuse, and connector to the
cell. 110 VAC and 220 VAC wiring is connected at this box, with 35 VDC output to the cell controller. A
8 AMP slo-blo fuse is mounted on the bottom of the enclosure for additional protection. There are no other
controls or lights on the outside of the Power Center. A green power LED indicator is mounted on the inside
main board. When the Power Center is switched on, the power LED is lit.
IntelliChlor Models
The IntelliChlor salt chlorinator system models are:
• PC 100 (P/N 520556): Power Center Kit.
• IC 20 Cell (P/N 520554): Designed for pools up to 20,000 U.S. gallons (75 liters), this cell will produce
approximately 0.70 pounds of chlorine per 24 hour period. This cell uses two terminal blades and five
bi-polar blades making this system more cost competitive.
• IC 40 Cell (P/N 520555): Designed for pools up to 40,000 U.S. gallons (151 liters), the cell will produce
approximately 1.40 pounds of chlorine per 24 hour period. This cell uses 3 terminal blades and ten
bi-polar blades, five on each side of the center terminal blade. This will supply more than enough chlorine
for almost any residential and many smaller commercial pools.
• IntelliChlor pass-through cell (P/N 520588): For new pool start-up.
