01 / Start with the right guide

Match your equipment

This guide is for the InverCHLOR salt system connected over RS-485. A separate liquid dosing pump controlled by an AUX relay uses the liquid-dosing guide.

How the parts work together. This is a system overview, not a terminal wiring diagram.

02 / Get ready

Before you start

  • Record the equipment model, controller generation and installed software version. Use the matching product manuals.
  • Have a qualified installer isolate every relevant electrical supply and verify absence of voltage before opening equipment. Turning it off in the app does not isolate power.
  • Confirm the circulation pump runs and water is flowing before requesting heat, cooling or chlorination. Keep the manufacturer’s interlocks and flow protection in place.
  • Have salt level, water chemistry, cell installation and flow-switch operation checked under the manufacturer’s instructions.

03 / One step at a time

Set it up

  1. Connect the correct port

    Have the installer use the designated RS485 port and the approved Clyr interface. Keep the salt cell’s own power and flow protection intact. Record its communication address and the Clyr network.

  2. Add the salt system

    Open Settings → Devices → Add, then select the Clyr controller physically connected to this equipment. Open Pool Equipment and choose the item named below. App wording can vary by version.

    Choose the InverCHLOR salt-cell entry. Match the installed network and address. Choose an output approved for the pool’s current needs; do not copy another pool’s default percentage.

  3. Confirm communication with circulation established

    With the pump operating and flow verified, request a modest commissioned output. Check the cell’s local display and fault indicators, along with Clyr telemetry. A connected icon alone does not prove chlorine production.

  4. Coordinate pump and chlorination

    Keep every chlorination event inside verified circulation. Check manual operation and program overrides too. Stop chlorination before stopping the pump; retain hardware interlocks.

  5. Make the schedule match the installation

    After the manual checks pass, create the required event in Clyr. Review its start, finish and equipment settings. Keep heating and chlorination within verified pump operation; an overlapping schedule is not a safety interlock.

04 / Prove the result

Check it works

A saved setting tells you what you requested. These checks tell you what the equipment actually did.

  • The salt-system display responds to the intended command.
  • No flow, power or salt fault remains unresolved.
  • An OFF request stops chlorination as intended.
  • Independent water testing is part of the ongoing routine.

05 / Find the next useful check

If something is wrong

The device is saved, but it does not respond

Check the selected controller, equipment type, physical network and address against the installer’s record. Check the equipment’s own display for a fault. Isolate power before inspecting connections.

Manual control works, but the schedule does not

Check the event’s day, time, selected device and requested value. Check whether Manual or Service mode is overriding scheduled operation. Return to the intended mode and observe the next event.
