Solar Control System Installation and User’s Guide
When the solar sensor temperature falls to 40°F (4°C) or below, the pool/spa water is
automatically circulated through the system to prevent freezing. If the solar sensor is
placed at the solar collectors and when the temperature in the solar collector reaches
42° F (6° C) and above, freeze protection will stop. The initial default setting is “Disabled”.
Note: Sensors have a +/- 1° variance. The Freeze Menu settings are as follows:
AdvancedMenuItem Action
Enabled/Disabled EnablesordisablesFreezeProtection.
(Disabled default) Enable/Disable Freeze Protect will start when
either the water or solar temperature reaches 40° F (4°C) or
below. Freeze Protect will continue until both temperatures
reach at least 42° F (6°C).

Controller, RPM will change and resume to the
scheduled program speed (RPM). This could take up to one minute. The pump is not being
controlled by the SolarTouch controller at this time.

Pool Cleaner Protection
Recommended for use in pool systems which utilize a “booster pump” pool cleaner. This
feature automatically delays, turns off the pool cleaner pump for five (5) minutes whenever
solar is initiated. This will protect the pump from damage caused by air in the solar panels
at system start-up.

When SolarTouch controller calls for heat and solar heat is available, the IntelliFlo
variable speed pump will ramp up to the RPM’s assigned to Ext Ctrl Program 4. The
solar valve will maintain the closed position for the first five (5) minutes, then the solar
valve will move to the “open” position and the pump will continue to run an additional
five (5) minutes. After these 10 minutes, the pump reverts to the assigned speed for
External Control Program 2 (Speed 2).
Cancel Solar Hold: To cancel the Solar Hold feature, press either the UP or DOWN
arrowbutton for approximately 3 seconds on the SolarTouch controller. Note: If
pool is plumbed with a pressure cleaner pump (i.e. pool cleaning system), this
pressure pump will turn off for five (5) minutes when the valve actuator turns on.
This allows the air in the solar collectors to be evacuated
