Controller Mounting

Find a suitable location to mount the control box. Ideally as with all pool equipment it should be
installed out of direct weather and no closer than 3 meters from the water’s edge and a minimum
600mm above ground. Fix the mounting bracket to a solid structure and slide the controller on,
keeping in mind that the power cable is 1.8m long and should be plugged directly into a general
power outlet, not into an extension lead.

Pump Connection

The solar pump plugs into the 240V socket labelled PUMP. The maximum load is 9.98 AMPS at
2395W.

Pool Sensor

The pool sensor must be tted into the heating circuit, as close to the pool as practical, preferably
in a position out of direct sunlight. It is recommended that a 14.5mm hole be drilled in the side
of the PVC pipe (not the top of the pipe where water will collect). This can be carried out using a
Dontek PD01 grinding drill or a small pilot hole can be drilled with a 14.0mm drill-bit spinning in
a counter clockwise direction to minimise the chance of shattering pipe. Insert the grommet into
the pipe and gently push in the sensor barb. Ideally ~30cm of the cable from the sensor should
be tied to the shaded side of the pipe to prevent extreme ambient conditions leeching into the
sensor via the copper in the cable. The blue sensor plug is to be tted to the plug socket marked
POOL.

Roof Sensor

The roof sensor must be tted into a small piece of collector material away from the main
collector but on the same aspect, preferably no more than 50cm from the roof gutter (for ease of
sensor replacement). If required, the roof sensor can be on a dierent roof as the solar collector as
long as the alignment to the sun is similar to the solar collector. For encapsulated collector panels,
use the manufacturer’s instructions for roof sensor placement. The red sensor plug is to be tted
to the plug socket marked ROOF.

SENSOR NOTES: All excess cable must be removed; coils of cable are not permitted under any
circumstances and must not be tied to 240V wiring. If the cable is to be extended with non­genuine cable a size of 14/020 should be used. Any cable joins should be soldered. Heat shrink
is to be used over soldered joints to eliminate moisture ingress, and the cable end is to be retted
to the plug sockets. Once cables have been correctly tted the unit can then be turned on.

Operating Instructions

Mode Button

Pressing this button changes to the next mode of operation in the following order;
Heating / Manual / Standby.

Once the mode button is no longer being pressed then the selected mode of operation is
automatically saved.

Heating mode (Auto) is the normal operating mode for heating the pool.

Manual mode is for testing the pump installation on a cold or cloudy day. Once manual mode is

selected the pump will start. After manual mode time-outs, unit will return to the previous mode.

Standby mode of operation is for o-season maintenance or if pool heating is not required. This
is a better option than turning o the controller as it will ush treated pool water through the
solar system as well as prolong pump bearing and mechanical seal life. The pump will run for 3
minutes each day at 10am.

The factory default for SOLAR MODE is Heating MODE

Temperature Setting (Up and Down Buttons)

Adjusting the temperature limit will allow the controller to heat the pool until the temperature
limit +½°C is achieved. Heating will then remain o until the sample wait period expires, if no
sample wait period is active the heating will remain o until the pool temperature drops ½°C
below the temperature limit setting. Due to rounding the actual heat may vary by up to ±½°C.

The ability to solar heat the pool will depend on weather conditions.

The factory default for SOL. LIMIT is 30°C
