Hey Folks,

My salt system is giving me a "Hot" error and wont resume service automatically. If I flip it Off and back to Auto, it kicks in. From what I read, this is a bad sign, but wondering if anyone can guide me on how to proceed. The details people normally ask for are

Model: T-CELL-LS-CUL
Serial: 3E20273-204045

Diagnostics:
  • Temp 85
  • Cell voltage 27.5
  • Cell current 3.66
  • Output 100%
  • Salinity -2400
  • Product name AL-1
  • Software 1.62
Thanks in advance,
 

If you have a multimeter, you can check the resistance of the thermistor in the cell (pin 6 against pin 10 on the plug). See Temperature Sensors.

Cutting either the Red or Blue wire should get the Temperature display to read 77F.

Some people have patched into the cable and installed an external temperature sensor.
