Installing the Temperature Sensors

1.

   Select a section of pool pipe-work which

 is in the shade and before 

the pool pump

 to attach brass the pool temperature sensor. 

The sensor should be placed underground to

 

minimise heating by 

the sun and air

.

 

Drill a hole in the pool pipework using an 11mm drill bit. A clean round 
hole is essential - clean burrs from hole.

 

Using some silicon grease push the rubber grommet into the pool 
pipework, then push in the brass sensor fitting carefully to lock it into 
place. Push Black connector into correct socket marked BLACK on 
underside of Solar Controller.

2.  

Fit Roof Sensor Fitting securely underneath and in direct contact 
with collector mat on roof. Run cable to solar controller and push red 
connector into socket marked RED on underside of Solar controller.

NOTE:

 If the roof sensor cable is too short, a 50 meter RCA roof cable is 

available from your Davey dealer. (P/N M6522) 

3.

  Fit blank flow connector to the socket marked FLOW.

 
Congratulations!  You  are  now  the  proud  owner  of  the  advanced  SolarMatic  Solar  Pool  Heating 
Controller.  
 
SolarMatic  extends  your  swimming  season  and  allows  you  get  the  most  from  your  pool.  SolarMatic 
takes control  of  your solar  heating system  and captures the free  heat  generated  by the  sun on  your 
solar roof collector, and transfers it into your pool water, at practically no cost.

OPTIONAL PRESSURE SWITCH CABLE SYSTEM & CONNECTION: 

 
Some solar heating installations use a “booster” pump to circulate pool water through the roof collector 
system and do not have a separate solar circuit to and from the pool.  
 
These installations require the optional pressure switch (P/N M6601), which will only allow the booster 
pump to turn on if the main filtration pump is running and water is available to the booster pump. 
Without this safety system, damage to the booster pump may result.
