INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Co troller Mou ti g
Find a suitable location to mount the control box. Ideally as with all pool equipment it should
be installed out of direct weather and no closer than 3 meters from the waters 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 1.8m long and should be plugged directly into a
general power outlet, not into an extension lead.
Pressure Switch or Flow Switch - Optio al
A pressure switch can be fitted between the main filter pump and filter or a flow switch
straight after the filter. All must be in a vertical position and plugged into the socket beneath
the controller marked FLO . This will ensure that the valve only activates if the main pool
pump is operating. hen a pressure or flow switch is to be used the jumper wire in the
FLO plug must be replaced with the flow or pressure switch wires.
Valve
If a valve is not supplied, the colour coding for the valve wiring is Red, Black and hite
(looking from left to right when looking at the screw terminals). Solder the wire-ends to
prevent corrosion to the exposed copper wire.
Pool Se sor
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 solar take off Tee, preferably in a position out of direct
sunlight. It is recommended that a 14.5mm hole be drilled in the side of the PVC pipe (not
the top of the pipe where water will collect), this can be carried out using a Dontek PD01
grinding drill or a small pilot hole can be drilled and a 14.0mm 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.
Roof Se sor
Roof sensors must be fitted into a small piece of solar collector or equivalent and attached to
the roof. The best location is within arms 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 ot 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 ot be ru 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 10mm from PVC
fittings. Cable ties should be tightened only firm, over tightening can cause breaks in the
outer PVC if not careful. If the cable is to be run under ground a conduit must be used to
protect the wire and there is to be no cable joins within, conduit ends must be sealed to
prevent water ingress. A y excess cable should be removed a d re-fitted e suri g
that the wire e ds are ti ed with solder. The sensor plug is to be fitted to the right
hand socket.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Notes
All excess cable must be removed; coils of cable are not permitted under any circumstances and must ot
be tied to 240V wiring. If the cable is to be extended with non genuine cable a size of 14/020 should be
used. A y cable joi s must be soldered a d this i cludes where the cable e ters the termi al
block at the 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 right hand cable entry when the screws are in a vertical position.
Once cables have been correctly fitted the unit can be turned on.
Fault Diag osis:
The unit will be factory set with the black jumper link marked J1 to ON, a 33 will briefly be displayed during
start up.
In the event of a cable or sensor failure, the display will indicate the type of failure 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 85 indicates a damaged cable.
A display of 98 indicates a high sensor reading (above 98°C).
A display of 00/03 indicates an over extended or coiled sensor cable.
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.
