Operating Notes

The ROOF Sensor

The ROOF temperature reading is a combination of heating by the sun and

heating/cooling by the air/wind. It is essentially a reading that provides an

estimate of the amount of warmth available to heat the pool.

If the ‘daytime’ temperature is 25°C, the roof may vary from 25°C to 50°C. It is

possible for the overnight and early morning ROOF temperature reading to go

below 5°C.Whenthisoccurstheunitwillregisterafalsewarning(rr) to check

the ROOF sensor – wait for the day to warm up before taking any action.

ECO Mode

This feature will reduce unnecessary pump operation and therefore reduce

operatingcosts.WhenthismodeisON,iftheroofisnotwarmenoughto

bringthepooltemperatureupsignicantlythesolarpumpwillnotrun,as

the amount of heat to be collected is not worth the cost of the power used to

run the pump.

WithoutthisfeatureONaROOFthatisunder20°C will try to warm a pool

that is 12°C, using electrical power for very little pool heating.

ECO Mode - ON

Your controller should start in Eco Mode.

This mode stops the operation of the solar pump when the roof temp is

below 30°C or the roof is less than 6°C warmer than the pool.

To turn ECO Mode ON press the SET TEMP 5 6 buttons at the same time.

Eco Mode - OFF

WithECOModeturnedoff,thesolarpumpcanrunwhentheroofreading

is just 20°C and the pool is only 2°C (or more warmer than the pool).

If your pool has a thermal blanket this mode may be able to provide extra

swimming time at an increased solar pump operation cost.

To turn ECO Mode OFF press the SET TEMP 5 6 buttons at the same time.
