Dontek V2-1 User manual

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Controller Mounting
Find a suitable location to mount the control box. Remember all Pool equipment should be
installed out of direct weather and no closer than 3 meters from the water’s edge. Lift 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 .8m long and should be plugged directly into a general power
outlet, not into an extension lead.
Retro-Fit (Boosted) Systems
If the V2 RRP Controller is to be fitted to a Retro-Fit (Boosted) system the mains power cable is to
be plugged into the same power source as the filtration pump. This is to prevent the solar pump
turning on and running dry. Ensure that the maximum current draw of the two pumps does not
exceed the switching device rating. If plugged into a salt chlorinator or chemical dosing system,
check the installation instructions and warranty for compliance.
Pool Sensor
For stand alone systems with separate suction and return the pool sensor must be fitted into the
suction line of t e solar boost pump, preferably in a position out of direct sunlig t. For
retro-fit systems the pool sensor must be fitted in the suction line of the main filter pump or
between the outlet of the filter and before the take off Tee fitting for the solar boost pump. It is
recommended that a 4.5mm hole be drilled in the PVC pipe, this can be carried out using a
Dontek PD0 grinding drill or a small pilot hole can be drilled and a 4.0mm 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 black sensor barb. The green sensor plug is to be fitted to
the centre plug socket.
TRANSMITTER:
It is recommended that the transmitter be tested on the ground before mounting it to the roof
guttering (or similar location), this ensures site suitability before you proceed. Ideally the Solar
Panel is to point towards the sun and the antenna is to be vertical.
As the unit operates in a UHF radio band, reflections and moving objects can cause a
transmission to be corrupted, up to 50 minutes can be missed before pump action will occur and
the solar pump will turn off. If this occurs, and if the solar conditions are still favourable, the solar
pump will not turn on again and resume normal operation unless it has received a valid
transmission.
The remote roof transmitter obtains its operating power from a solar panel, it will not operate if
there is no sun or if there is significant cloud cover. Obviously solar heating would not occur in
such conditions. When sunlight is available a transmission of roof temperature occurs every 0
seconds and is indicated by 4 flashes of the roof LED.
Due to the possibility of reception ghosting and electrical interference the Transmitter may be
required to be moved to an alternative position, this may be as little as two meters and keep in
mind that the roof sensor cable may be extended 20 meters if required. The main controller
should be mounted away from other electrical appliances as far as possible to reduce the chance
of interference. If the unit is to be installed in a metal shed there may be reception issues and the
controller may need to be optioned with a remote antenna or moved outside.
Roof Sensor
Roof sensors must be fitted into a small piece of solar collector or equivalent and attached to the
roof. The best location is within arm’s length of the gutters edge of the house or shed as long as
the sensor end is not shaded and is on a roof of similar aspect of the main collector. It must not
be fitted on top of the solar collector or fitted to high points on the roof like Ridge Capping as
false readings will be detected.
Keep in mind that it is of the utmost importance to keep the roof sensor as short as possible as
this will assist in the longevity of the sensor and controller in the event of electrical storm activity
and power surges. Sensor cables must not be run parallel to power cables and run lengths
should be less than 50m. Cable ties should be used to fasten the sensor cable to the cold water
inlet pipe making sure that the ties are approximately 0mm from PVC fittings. Cable ties should
be tightened only firm, over tightening can cause breaks in the outer PVC if not careful. Any
excess cable s ould be removed and re-fitted ensuring t at t e wire ends are tinned
wit solder. The sensor plug is to be fitted to the right hand socket.
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 non genuine cable a size of
4/020 should be used. Any cable joins must be soldered and t is includes w ere t e
cable enters t e terminal block at t e case base. Heat shrink is to be used over soldered
joints to eliminate moisture ingress. If the cable end is to be refitted to the plug sockets then the
polarity must be observed as incorrect polarity will show an error as stated in Fault Diagnosis. The
sensor cable with the thin white trace is the positive and should be fitted to the left hand cable
entry when the screws are in a vertical position.
Once cables have been correctly fitted the unit can be turned on.
Fault Diagnosis
In the event of a cable, sensor or transmitter fault, the display will indicate the type of fault as
follows;
ROOF SENSOR.
A display of 99 indicates a broken or disconnected sensor cable or open circuit sensor.
A display of 88 indicates wrong polarity connection or short-circuited cable or sensor.
A display of 00 when in show roof mode indicates no roof transmitter reception (or night-time).
A display of 0 when in show roof mode indicates low light levels (dawn, dusk or cloudy).
POOL SENSOR
A display of 77 indicates a broken or disconnected sensor cable.
A display of 66 indicates wrong polarity or short-circuited sensor cable.
A display of 67 indicates a sensor reading out of normal operating range.

MODEL V2-1 Radio Remote Solar Controller with PV Panel
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Summer Mode is normal operating mode used during the Pool Swimming Season. You may set
the desired pool limit by pressing the UP or Down Buttons. The display shows the pool
temperature then flashes the limit setting and light, the pump light and pump will be on when
solar gain is available.
Manual Mode is used to prime, clean or test the pump. To select manual mode press the
SELECT button until the PUMP/MAN light is illuminated. The pump will then start, or stop if it has
been running. To return to normal run simply press the SELECT button till the AUTO light is
illuminated. The V2 will automatically return to AUTO run after 30 minutes, with a limit of 30
degrees.
Winter Mode should be selected when the pool is not being used for extended periods. The
pump will be turned on for 3 minutes every day at the same time Winter Mode was selected. This
will assist in the systems off-season maintenance and save energy. To enter this mode press the
SELECT button till the WINTER light is illuminated. If the power is interrupted during winter mode
the V2 will continue to count time accurately.
Tropical Mode is used to assist in cooling over heated pools. It can be selected but is not
supported on this model as no roof temperatures can be obtained at night.
Roof Temperature
When selected, the roof temperature will be displayed constantly for 3 minutes then return to
AUTO. The ROOF indicator will give 4 quick flashes when a signal is received from the
transmitter.
OPERATION
The V2 will turn the pump on when the roof temperature is higher than the pool (pipe)
temperature by 8°C and off at 4°C. Roof temperature is received every 0 seconds from the
transmitter. When the pool temperature reaches the limit setting the limit light will flash, it will
remain in this state while the roof is hot to prevent over heating the pool. The V2 will then wait
for night time to pass and the roof to reach 40°C the next day to start the process again, this is
to prevent the solar starting too early in the morning. If the roof does not achieve 40°C the
following morning the system will break out of its hold mode 2 hours from when the pool first
reached limit. These functions are to minimise the pool from overheating, hence reducing water
evaporation and consumption of chemicals. An auto flush program is incorporated to ensure
accurate pool temperature readings are obtained as the pool sensor is normally located well away
from the actual swimming pool and may sit in direct sunlight or in warm enclosures, the last
recorded pool temperature will be displayed for 6 hours from when the pump was last running.
When auto flush is in wait mode the limit light will be on constant until the pump is turned on for
a three minute test, the pump light will flash until this test is over.
