INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step 1
Fix wall mounting bracket on
a vertical wall protected from
direct rain and sun.
Step 2
Locate Roof Sensor (15.0m) on
separate solar pad fixed adjacent
to the solar collector.
This pad must receive similar
sun to the solar collector but
not be in contact with it.
Step 3
Install the threaded pocket well into
a section of pipework before the
solar collector take-off and insert
the Pool Sensor (1.8m) into the well.
Step 4
Connect both Roof (red) and
Pool (blue) sensors to the
colour-matching connections
on the controller.
Slide unit into
mounting bracket.
Step 5
Plug in solar circulation
pump and switch ON.
Notes:
1. Joins in sensor cables must be soldered and waterproofed.
2. Option 2 requires the Time Clock to be set for daylight hours.
3. For any repairs, return to the supplier.
