In Element Temperature Sensor
Removal
Unplug from the PCB and the sensor should pull out from the element
boss. The heatshrink may hold on to the metal but it will wiggle free.
Installation
Insert the sensor all the way into the element pocket and use a sleeve
of heatshrink tubing (or similar) to hold the sensor in place and to seal
the pocket. The pocket must be sealed to ensure that the sensor is
reading the water temperature accurately and is not affected by the
enclosure temperature.
Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can I make it load shed?
Yes, refer to the dipswitch settings information in the installation guide for your model
see the appendix.
2) Can I mount the SP601 on its side?
Yes, the SP601 can be mounted so that its heater tube is vertical with the water senor at
the top. The water must flow from the bottom of the tube to the top. This will force out all
air in the tube. Note that an in pool temperature sensor is recommended in this
configuration, especially if a small circulation pump is used.
3) Can I mount the SP601 on it’s back / front / upside down?
No, any of these mounting positions will cause the water detection system to operate
incorrectly.
4) Can I run a standard incandescent pool light from the SP601?
Yes, but it must be used with a separate transformer and controlled by the Aux outlet.
