COMPUPOOL CPSC Salt Water Chlorinator- Advanced menu

[Pedlerdn]

Hi all, as I'm a new forum member & this is my first post, go easy on me (haha)

I have a COMPUPOOL CPSC Salt Water Chlorinator and have previously been running a CPSC16 cell. Last season I ordered a replacement cell but received a CPSC24.
for the first few months it ran well & I thought Id scored a free upgrade but now the Control box has the "ADD SALT" light on. My salt level is tested at 4400ppm.
I spoke to a Compupool Representative on the phone who said that if I press the "Superchlor" & the "winter mode" buttons together, power down the unit for a few seconds then power up while still holding the buttons for a further 5 seconds this will allow me to access the Maintenance (advanced) Menu and change the cell from a 16 to a 24.

My problem: For years now the LCD fades out completely when the system is warm. The only way I can (vaguely) make out the wording is to power down the unit overnight then in the cool of the morning I have a few minutes to check run times etc before it fades out again.

Question: Does anyone have, or know, the sequence of the options in the advanced menu? If I have a prompt sheet, i may be able to make out the display...

Thanks in Advance

No clue BUT here is a bump to get this in front of more eyes!

So, due to the high ambient temperatures here and my LCD unit fading out. I got a bit impatient with it.

I disconnected and removed the CPSC Control Unit from the wall then placed it in the refrigerator for an hour.
When I powered it up the display panel was clear (as new). So Ill share with you the Maintenance Menu...

Press the Super-Chlor & Winter mode buttons together then power down the unit completely. After 3-5 seconds turn it on and do not release the buttons for a further 10 seconds.

-Your now in the Maintenance Menu-

In this Menu you can:
- Change the Current output. (I changed from a CPSC16 to a CPSC24, so I Changed this setting from 15A to 20A)
- Change the frequency in which the Unit does a SelfClean. (I changed from 16hr to 4hr)
- Select Internal or External timer relay (depending on your installation)
- View run times (Total Run Hrs, Run time @ "ADD SALT" & "OVER SALT")
- View Current temp (as I just removed from the fridge it showed 5 degC)
- View Max temp (was 78 DegC then I accidentally reset it to 0)

When the end of the Maintenance Menu is reached you will be prompted to Turn Off Unit to resume.

I wonder how long the cool down will keep working? Is there any way you can keep the sun from shining on it? Or does it? It is just the hot temps that causes the problem?

High Ambient temps- we are remote/ outback South Australia and are subject to 28-48 DegCel Summers & -3 to 25DegCel Winters.
The Chlorinator, cell, pump & sandfilter have never been subject to the sun as they are inside my garage.

when this unit decides its days are over I will replace it with a unit that has analogue gauges etc
