Installation and Operation Manual for
EVOTHERM HEAT PUMP CONTROLLERS
H5RO-I
1.0 FOREWORD
1.1 The H5RO-I controller is designed to operate a filter pump when circulation is called for
by either the chlorinator or heater.
1.2 This controller is designed for a system that includes a filtration timer, and where the
heater has a Priority to Heat function (Heat Demand).
1.3 iCAUTION: This appliance is not intended for use by young children or infirm persons
without supervision.
1.4 Note: Ideally, as with all pool equipment, the controller should be installed out of direct
weather.
2.0 INSTALLATION & OPERATION
2.1 CONTROLLER MOUNTING
2.1.1 Find a suitable location to mount the control box.
2.1.2 The controller should be no closer than 3m from the pool edge and a minimum 600mm
above ground. The power cable is 1.8m long and should be plugged directly into a general
power outlet. Do not use an extension lead.
2.1.3 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 the unit to
ensure a snug fit.
2.2 PUMP CONNECTION
2.2.1 The filtration pump plugs into the 240V socket (labelled PUMP).
2.2.2 The maximum load is 9.98 AMPS at 2395W.
2.3 CHLORINATOR CONNECTION
2.3.1 The chlorinator connects directly into a general power outlet, do not use an extension
lead. Plug the power lead from H5RO-I into the pump output of the chlorinator. The
chlorinator will operate the required filtration requirements.
2.4 HEATER CONNECTION
2.4.1 Connect the Heater Output cable from the H5RO-I controller output (labelled HEATER) to
the Heat Demand Contact located on the heater unit.
2.4.2 Check with the heater manufacturer for correct interlocking procedure.
2.4.3 The Heater Output is for low-voltage (MAX 24V at 1 AMP) switching only.
2.4.4 Note: If the heater’s external switching circuit is greater than 24V AC, an external relay kit
(can be purchased separately) is to be installed by a licensed electrician.
2.4.5 Note: Damage caused by incorrect connections will void warranties.
2.5 HEAT DEMAND
2.5.1 As most pools are filtered for 8 hours a day, extra run times are often required to
maintain the water at the desired temperature.
2.5.2 The heater is equipped with a Heat Demand function that will assist in maintaining the
temperature of the pool by communicating to the H5RO-I.
2.5.3 The controller will override the filtration pump when heat is called for by the heater. The
heater monitors the system temperature within its defined run times. By this means, the
the desired water temperature is maintained.
2.6 LCD SCREEN
2.6.1 The LCD screen displays the current mode of operation, and the pump on status.
2.6.2 The controller will display - Heat On or Heat Off, Pump On or Pump Off, and CNTRL ON.

Power point is faulty - Test power point with a known working appliance. If the
power point is operational, check the controller in another power point. If there is
still no display, send the controller for repair.
Pump will not start
The pump will only ever run for the purpose of automatic heating if the pool is below
the temperature limit set in the heater or for ltration purposes with the ltration
times set on the chlorinator. If the pump does not operate, then plug the pump into
a power point and test. If the pump is OK then the controller requires repair.
Pump will not stop
Turn o power to the controller, ensure the pump stops. If the pump continues to
operate then unplug it from the power point and connect it to the 240V AC socket
marked PUMP at the bottom of the controller.
Pool not heating
Ensure that the Heater Output cable is connected to the plug properly and that the
plug is pushed in.
Check that the heater has power connected.
