INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
CONTROLLER
Find a suitable location to mount the control
box. The controller should be installed out o
direct weather and no closer than 3 meters
rom the water’s edge. Li t up the two
mounting tabs and use two appropriate
screws to mount the control box to the wall,
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. Do not drill through the box.
SOLAR PUMP
The solar pump plugs into the le t side
240Vac socket marked as PUMP. Note that
the solar pump can only operate when the
auxiliary power socket uses su icient power
to trigger the current detection circuit, this
detection trigger point can be adjusted (see
Installer Settings).
FILTRATION PUMP
An Ioniser/Chlorinator or equivalent pump
timer is to be plugged into the right hand side
240V socket (auxiliary) located under the
POOL & ROOF sensor inputs, the iltration
pump plugs into the Ioniser/Chlorinator pump
socket.
TEMPERATURE SENSORS
The pool temperature sensor must be itted
into the suction line o the
iltration
pump, as
close to the pool as practical, pre erably in a
position out o direct sunlight. It is
recommended that a 14.5mm hole be drilled
in the PVC pipe, this can be carried out using
a Dontek PD01 grinding drill or a small pilot
hole can be drilled and a 14.0mm drill-bit
used spinning in a counter clockwise direction
to minimize the chance o shattering pipe.
Insert the grommet into the pipe and gently
push in the blue/grey sensor barb. The blue
sensor plug is to be itted to the plug socket
marked POOL, in some cases there is some
bene it to cable tie 30cm o wire rom the
pool temperature sensor to the pipe and
insulate this section (some ambient
di erences can travel up the tinned copper
wire and a ect the sensor reading).
The
roo temperature sensor must be itted
into a small piece o solar collector or
equivalent and attached to the roo . The best
location is within an arm’s length o the
gutters edge o the house or shed as long as
the sensor end is not shaded and is on a roo
o similar aspect o the main collector. It
must no
must nomust no
must not
tt
t be itted on top o the solar
collector or itted to high points on the roo
like Ridge Capping as alse readings will be
detected.
The red sensor plug is to be itted to the right
hand socket marked ROOF. Keep in mind that
it is o the utmost importance to keep the
roo temperature sensor cable as short as
possible as this will assist in the longevity o
the sensor and controller in the event o
electrical storm activity and power surges.

making sure that the ties are approximately
10mm rom PVC ittings. Cable ties should be
