T-Piece Installation
The T-Piece should be cut into the swimming pool ltration pipe work
upstream (i.e. before) the heating appliance using a suitable ABS cement.
The T-Piece has 63-mm female sockets and is supplied with:
• 50-mm reducers (Model PSPC-50)
• 1½” reducers (Model PSPC-1.5)
NOTE: Correct orientation of the T-Piece is essential to enable the correct
operation of the ow switch and temperature detection probe i.e. the
arrow moulded into the T-Piece must point in the direction of ow.
Electrical Connection
The PoolSmart Plus must be installed in accordance with the Country /
regional requirements and regulations. In any event the work must be
carried out by a qualied electrician who will provide a certicate of
conformity upon completion of the work.
Undo the lower cover screws and remove the electrical access cover.
All electrical connections should be made into the relevant terminal block
position, according to the labelled positions.
Connection Explanation:
Terminal 1 = Incoming Live 100 to 230V
Terminal 2 = Incoming Neutral
Terminals 3 and 4 = Priority of Heating ltration pump override signal out
Terminals 5 and 6 = Heat Out – Volt free switched output to control heating
appliance (2-Amp MAX if the load is greater than 2-Amp an auxiliary
contactor must be used)
Terminals 7, 8 and 9 = RS485 MODBUS Data Link
Terminals 10 and 11 = Flow Switch
Terminals 12 and 13 = NTC Temperature sensing probe

The actual pool water temperature is shown in the upper area of the dis-
play. The required temperature is shown in the lower area of the display.
The required water temperature can be adjusted by touching the ‘UP /
DOWN’ touch button keys until the required temperature is displayed,
adjustments are in 0.1°C increments.
Priority of Heating is a function that ensures your pool water is constantly
maintained at your required temperature. When Priority of Heating is
activated the Symbol will be displayed on the screen.
The controller will then monitor the pool water temperature, and start
both the pool circulation pump and heating process when necessary.
Operating Instructions
On initial power up of the controller the digital display will be illuminated.
The heating device will only be switched ‘On’ when the following criteria
are met i.e:
• Water circulating pump is ‘On’ delivering in excess of 4,000 litres per hour
(4m³/h)
• The required temperature is set to a higher value than the actual water
temperature.

Time Switching Delay
To prevent overheating of the switch components within the heating
device caused by frequent on/ o switching (cycling) the controller has
been pre-programmed with a time delay function.
When time switching delay is activated the message display will show
‘HEATER DELAY’ for 2 minutes.
Dierential
When the pool water has reached the required temperature the
heating device will switch o and will not switch back on until the water
temperature has fallen 0.6°C below the require temperature.
Operating Modes
There are ve operating modes:
The required Modes are selected
by touching the ‘M’ button
key, each touch causes the mode
to change to the next mode. The
