A Solar Control System will automatically turn the Poolsolar on and off
depending on the weather conditions using an automatic 3-way valve.
When the sun is shining the valve will direct the water flow to the solar
collector. When the temperature drops i.e. at night, the valve will direct
the water flow back to the pool, bypassing the solar collector.
Furthermore, it will stop the heating process when the desired
temperature is reached.
Just as important, the valve will also prevent heated pool water from
going to the collector when there is no sun i.e. cloudy/night conditions,
thus preventing any heat loss.
To install the Solar Control System, please do the follow
steps 1-5
STEP 1
Install Solar Controller (temperature adjustment)
on a wall using the two screw holders on the back of the
solar controller. Controller MUST BE INSTALLED
INDOORS.
STEP 2
The ‘Sun Temperature Sensor’ should be placed on top
of the solar collector header (manifold). Use a ‘Tie-wrap’ to secure
into position. The ‘ Water Temperature Sensor’ is already located
within the motorised valve.
Note. Sun Sensor cable can be extended to a maximum distance of 25 metres. Use
the same type cable i.e. 2 x core 0.34mm. Remove back plate on controller and insert
desired cable length. Make water proof joint with the existing cable that was originally
supplied.
Any electrical extension/adjustment should be carried out by a qualified electrician.
STEP 4
The 3- Way electronic motorised valve must be installed after
the filter/pump (max bar 2.5). DO NOT INSTALL MOTORISED VALVE
OUTSIDE.
It is recommended that three threaded socket unions & PT socket
(available from your dealer) are used on two ports to enable easy
removal for maintenance etc. Use PTFE tape to seal all threaded joints.
Please see diagram on page 12 for plumbing connection and position.
