Function
The PC-40 control unit lets you time the on/off cycles of a filter pump based on a user-programmable
daily or weekly schedule. A 400V 3-phase pump, a 230V single-phase AC pump or a variable-speed filter
pump may be used as the filter pump (see wiring diagrams). When using a 3-phase filter pump, a 3-phase
electronic motor protection device protects the pump from overload (current range has continuous adjustment
up to 8A).
Backwashing can be performed using a 6-way multiport valve and installed EUROTRONIK-10 controller or
using slide valves under manual, timed or pressure-dependent control.
The built-in level control is designed for use with overflow pools with spillway (balancing tank) and for skimmer
pools.
While the filter pump is running, the swimming pool heating is controlled by the electronic temperature
controller. During pauses in filtration, the heating is automatically switched off by the internal interlock. The
required water temperature for the swimming pool can be set on the front panel. The heating can also be
switched off from here. A live contact (terminal U2) and volt-free floating contacts (terminals 17&18) are
available for connecting the heating system. Terminals are provided for connecting an solar actuator
when operating solar absorbers that carry a direct flow of water from the pool. This control unit is not intended
for use with other types of solar collectors. The absorber temperature must not exceed 80°C at the
temperature sensor.
Terminals for connecting level sensors can be used for convenient automatic control of the water level in the
swimming pool. There are also terminals for connecting a flow sensor or a pressure switch, and a winding
thermostat contact. These provide extra protection for the filter pump against potential damage from dry-
running of the filter installation.
Spare terminals are available for connecting additional devices such as underwater lights and chemical dosing
equipment. A load (230V/max. 3A) connected to terminal U4 (auxiliary output) can be timed to switch on and
off by its own dedicated timer in the unit. Terminal U3 (dosing equipment) carries 230 V only while filtration is
running, but is de-energized outside filtration times. Terminals 15&16 (dosing equipment) are volt-free floating
contacts for custom use. The relay contact between terminals 15 and 16 is closed while filtration is running,
and open outside filtration times. This contact is rated for a maximum voltage of 230V and a maximum power
of 400W (cos =0.6).
Terminals 19&20 are volt-free floating contacts that can be used for fault indication.
The connecting terminals for the winding protection switch (WSK terminals) can be used to connect a winding
thermostat built into the filter-pump motor winding. If this thermal switch opens, e.g. as a result of the motor
winding getting too hot, the filter pump is switched off automatically along with the heating and dosing
equipment. Once the winding protection switch closes again after the motor winding has cooled down, the
units automatically switch back on. There is no need for a manual reset. The connecting terminals for the
winding protection switch carry 230V.
The motor protection device can only be used with 400V/50Hz filter pumps connected to terminals U1/V1/W1.
Motor protection is not active if you have selected a configuration using a variable speed pump or a 230V
pump.
Installation
The swimming pool must be designed to prevent consequential damage resulting from a potential technical
fault, power failure or faulty controller.
Electrical connection
The control unit must be mounted such that it is protected from moisture in accordance with its degree of
protection. The ambient temperature must lie between 0° C and + 40° C and should vary as little as possible.
The relative humidity at the installation position must not exceed 95% and there must not be any
condensation. Avoid exposing the unit to direct heat or sunlight.
The power supply for the unit must be provided via an all-pole disconnection switch with a minimum contact
gap of 3mm and via a residual-current circuit breaker with a fault current IFN of30mA. When using variable-
frequency drives and variable speed pumps, the residual-current circuit breakers stipulated for these devices

Operating instructions for Pool control-40 filter control unit Page: 6 (24)
must be used and the relevant regulations observed. Always disconnect the unit from the power supply
before opening the case. All electrical wiring and calibration and servicing work must be performed
solely by an approved electrician. The enclosed wiring diagrams and all applicable safety regulations
must be observed.
The switching outputs of the PC-40 are not intended as a voltage supply for variable frequency drives. Please
refer to the relevant wiring diagrams in these operating instructions.
Low-voltage lines
Low-voltage lines must not be laid along with three-phase or AC power cables in the same cable conduit. In
general, always avoid routing low-voltage lines close to three-phase or AC power cables.
Connecting the power supply for a 400V three-phase pump
The factory-inserted link between the two WSK terminals must be removed when
connecting a pump fitted with a thermal winding protection switch (winding
thermostat). If the pump does not have a winding protection switch, the link must
remain screwed in place. These terminals are live and carry a mains voltage!
The option Filter pump - type: 3-phase pump must be selected for the filter pump
in the configuration menu.
The pump is monitored by the electronic motor protection device. To provide
protection, the trip current for the motor protector must be set to the rated current
of the pump (specified on the type plate).
Connecting the power supply for a 230V single-phase AC pump
The factory-inserted link between the two WSK terminals must be removed when
connecting a pump fitted with a thermal winding protection switch (winding
thermostat). If the pump does not have a winding protection switch, the link must
remain screwed in place. These terminals are live and carry a mains voltage!
The option Filter pump - type: monophase pump must be selected for the filter
pump in the configuration menu.
In this operating mode, the pump is not monitored by the electronic motor
protection device.

correctly, the electrical power to the motor must pass via all three switching
contacts of the filter control unit (place link between terminals L2 and L2 and
between U1 and V1; connect pump to W1).
The factory-inserted link between the two WSK terminals must be removed when

In addition, a volt-free floating contact is provided at terminals 17&18 (e.g. for
controlling the boiler).
An 230V solar actuator can be connected to terminals U5 and U6 for
operating the solar heating. When solar heating is operating, the mains voltage
is applied to terminal U6 and no voltage is applied to terminal U5. When solar
heating is not actuated, no voltage is applied to terminal U6 and the mains
voltage appears at terminal U5.

Connecting underwater lighting, flocculation pump, dispensing equipment
An auxiliary item of equipment running at 230V (e.g. underwater lighting)
can be connected to terminal U4 and can then be timed to switch on and off
by a dedicated timer in the control unit. Since this is a configurable output, it
can also be used for controlling a flocculation pump.
An auxiliary item of equipment running at 230V (e.g. dosing equipment) can
be connected to terminal U3. This equipment is switched on together with
the filter pump during filtration.
A volt-free floating relay contact is connected between terminals 15 and 16
inside the control unit. This can be used to control additional dosing
equipment (contact is closed during filtration).
This contact is rated for a maximum load of 230V/4A.
Connecting a main drain valve (ECO valve)
A main drain valve (ECO valve) or a valve for water extraction from the pool walls can be
connected to terminals U7 and U8. Connect a 2-way valve to terminal U7 and neutral
terminal N. For a 3-way valve, use terminal U7 for "OPEN" and terminal U8 for "CLOSE".
This contact is rated for a maximum load of 230V/1A.
For overflow pools with spillway, this valve is opened in ECO mode to minimize evaporation
losses.
If this valve is also meant to be opened during backwashing, then the option Backwashing -
floor drain: valve open in BW must be selected in the configuration menu.
