Recalibrating Jandy Aquapure

[tloomos]

I just installed a Jandy Aquapure SWG, got all my levels right and just turned it on today. The salt sensor on the Aquapure is consistently 300ppm higher than the Taylor K-1766. When I tried to follow the instructions to calibrate it, I ran into a snag. Everything I read says to hold the Salinity button for 15 seconds (3 beeps) and then press the temp button within 5 seconds to enter salinity sensor calibration mode. It never beeps, and it doesn't ever seem to go into calibration mode.

I also tried the steps to configure the alarm volume - hold temp button for 15 seconds (3 beeps) then press salinity - same thing, no beeps, never enters config mode.

I saw some other instructions to check firmware version - that seemed to work - the firmware is 01220A15
When retrieving the firmware, there were 2 additional numbers after the firmware version: 05 and 180. If I press the up/down arrows, the 05 looks like it allows values from 05 through 69 - what's that?

Before calibrating, I would give it a couple days for the system to adjust. I've had some swings of 200ppm+/-, especially when first opening this season.

Do you hear beeping if you press Salinity or Temp once? It might have something to do with the Aqualink RS controller. If I press Salinity, I get an immediate beep. I was thinking you have sound muted, but you have already tried to change that.

Nope, I don't get a beep even when pressing either of those buttons just once.

Press and hold the Salinity button for 11 seconds, release and press the Temperature button to see what happens.

Does the Salinity display when you press the salinity button?

Is the buzzer jumper "On" or "Off"?

That is close enough.

I would not change the calibration.

Thank you!! That was it - there was no jumper at all - I had to scavenge one from an old computer. Put that on and all is working as expected now. I guess I was either counting the wrong number (or duration) of seconds. The audible helper is what I needed.

 

[JamesW]

It's odd that the jumper was missing.

I saw some other instructions to check firmware version - that seemed to work - the firmware is 01220A15

Note that the firmware version is also printed on the CPU.

I just replaced my salt cell and checked the firmware, and I also had the 180 and 05 after the firmware numbers. Did you ever find out what those mean?

I see this is old, but I do the procedure and it shows the ppm as 3600. I try to adjust with arrows but the arrows do nothing. Follow procedure to the letter and got all the beeps and expected readout of the 3600 ppm.

I was in auto mode doing so since that failed i tried manual mode with same result.

Note: I did it about 5 years back so i know it works because i had to adjust it +300 when my salt was reading 2500 and i was getting general faults on awuapure avg time. Fast forward today and it reads 3600 wilch is actually 3300 if i had changed it prior.
