BY
YOUNG
CHILDREN
OR
INFIRM
PERSONS WITHOUT SUPERVISION.
PLEASE ENSURE
THAT
YOUNG
CHILDREN
ARE
SUPERVISED
TO
ENSURE
THEY
DO NOT
PLAY WITH THE
APPLIANCE.
Ideally
,
as
with
all
pool equipment
,
the
controller should be installed
out
of
direct weather.
CONTROLLER
MOUNTING
Find
a
suitable location
to mount
the control box.
The controller should be
no
closer than
3
metres
from
the
water's
edge,
at
a
minimum
BOOmm
above
ground
level. The
power
cable is
1.8m
long
and should be
plugged directly
into
a
general
power
outlet,
not
into
an
extension lead.
Fix
the
mounting
bracket
to
a
solid
structure
with
the
screw
and wall
plug
kit
provided.
Slide
the controller
on,
locking
it
into
place.
Adjust
the
screws on
the back
of
unit
to
ensure a
snug
fit.
To
remove
unit,
lift
and
gently
pull
away
from
mounting
bracket.
Mount
the
pump
and
Sanitiser
according
to
the
manufacturer's
instructions.
POWER OUTPUT
CONNECTIONS
The
240VAC
Output
Sockets
are
for
eguipment
to
be controlled via the
AQUATEK
controller. Each
socket
can
be
assigned
via the
menu
and/or
app.
The maximum combined load
for
both
sockets
on
the
master
controller,
is
9.9
AMPS
at
2370W.
HEATER
CONTROL
Set
the heaters
temperature
limit
to
maximum
[40°C],
The heaters internal control
will
be
interrupted,
to turn
off
heating.
The heater interlock cable
connects to
the
green
socket
marked
INT
which switches
on
[closes]
the
voltage
free
ND/C
relay
contacts
when the heater is
to
be turned
on.
The heater end
of
the interlock cable
connects
in
series
with
the
heater's
pressure/flow
or
fireman's
switch.
Contact
the
heater
manufacturer for
the best location
to connect to.
The heater interlock is
for
extra
low-voltage
[MAX
24V
at
lAmp]
switching only.
Note:
If
the
heater's
flow
or
pressure
switch circuit is
2dOVac,
an
external
relay
[KITIO]
which
can
be
purchased
separately
,
is
to
be connected
by
a
licensed
electrician.
If
the heat
pump/gas
heater is
equipped
with
a
"Demand Heat"
function,
the heater
interlock cable
will
be connected into the
socket
labelled
as
"Pump
Call".
The
controller
will
over-ride the
filter
pump
when
flow
is called
for
by
the heat
pump
which monitors the
temperature
within
its
own
defined
run
times.
Connect
the
heater cable
from
the controller
output
to
the
heater's
connection
point.
Check
with
heater
manufacturer for
correct
interlocking
procedure.
Note:
If
the
heater's
flow
or
pressure
switch circuit is
2dOVac,
an
external
relay
[KITH]
which
can
be
purchased
separately
,
is
to
be connected
by
a
licensed
electrician.
VALVES
The
AQUATEK
has
4
valve
actuator
sockets
for
the
controlling
of
solar
heating,
water
features,
pool/spa
water
flow,
and
In
Floor
cleaning.
Note:
If
wiring
your
own
supplied
valve,
ensure
the wires
are as
follows:
[from
left
to
right]
White,
Red then Black. The red and white
are
for
direction control and black is
the
common.
Ensure
the switch
on
the valve
actuator
is switched
to
an
ON
position.
Refer
the valve instructions
for
mounting
requirements,
cam
adjustments
etc.
Maximum
power
for
the
VALVE
output
is
24VA.

SENSORS
POOL
SENSOR
The
pool
sensor
[Part
No.
TS02P]
must
be
fitted
into the
heating
circuit,
upstream
of
the heater and
preferably
in
a
position
out
of
direct
sunlight.
It
is recommended that
a
lA.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
lA.Omm
drill-bit used
spinning
in
a
counter
clockwise direction
to
minimize 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
fitted
to
either
Sensor
1
or
2
port
located beneath the
controller.
ROOF
SENSOR
If
a
roof
sensor
[Part
No.
TS01P,
purchased
separately]
is
installed,
it
must
be
fitted
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
reguired,
the
roof
sensor
can
be
on
a
different roof
as
the solar
collector
as
long
as
the
alignment
to
the
sun
is similarto the solar collector.
For
encapsulated
collector
panels
use
the
manufacturer's
instructions
for roof
sensor
placement.
The red
sensor
plug
is
to
be
fitted
to
either
Sensor
1
or
2
port
located beneath the controller.
SENSOR NOTES:
All
excess
cable
must
be
removed;
coils
of
cable
are
not
permitted
under
any
circumstances and
must not
be tied
to
2A0V
wiring.
If
the cable is
to
be extended
with
non-genuine
cable
a
size
of
1A/020
should be used.
Note:
Any
cable
joins
should be soldered.
Heat
shrink is
to
be used
over
soldered
joints
to
eliminate moisture
ingress.
EXPANSION UNITS
The
AQUATEK
has the
capacity
to
have
an
additional
2
expansion
units connected
to
it.
Each
Expansion
Unit has
an
additional
3,
240VAC
Output
sockets
that
are
controlled via the
AQUATEK
controller.
Up
to
an
additional
6
power
sockets
can
be utilised and controlled
by
the
AQUATEK
master
controller.
The
Expansion
Units
are
rated
at
either
lOAmps
or
15Amps.
All
3
sockets
of
the
Expansion
Unit
are
rated
the
same.
3
sockets
at
lOAmps
or
3
sockets
at
15Amps.
EXPANSION
UNIT
Ideally,
as
with all
pool equipment,
the
Expansion
Unit/s
should be installed
out
of
direct weather.
Find
a
suitable location
to mount
the
Expansion
Unit/s,
no
closer than
3
metres
from
the
water's
edge,
at
a
minimum
600mm
above
ground.
MOUNTING
The
power
cable is
1.8m
long
and should be
plugged directly
into
a
general
power
outlet,
not
into
an
extension lead.
Mount
as
per
main controller.
The
240VAC
Output
Sockets
are
for
eguipment
to
be controlled via the
AQUATEK.
Each
socket
can
be
assigned
via the
menu
and/or
app.
The maximum combined load
for
all three
sockets
of
the module is
either,
9.9
Amps
/
2370
Watts,
or,
1A.9
Amps
/
3570
Watts.
Please
refer
to
the
unit's
rating
label.
The
15Amp
rated
expansion
unit
must
be
plugged
into
a
15Amp
rated
GPO.
