Tropical Mode
This feature will benefit pools in areas where the water may also be heated
directly by the high ambient day temperatures such as in hot / tropical climates.
This mode (
T
) allows the controller to cool the pool overnight if the POOL
temperature has exceeded the SET temperature by 2°C or more. This
mode works in addition to the normal (
N
) heating operation during the day.
In this mode the solar pump will operate when the roof temperature is at
least 8°C cooler than the pool.
Memory
The SolarMatic will remember its operation settings if the power fails. This
includes the SET TEMP, Normal (
N
) or Tropical (
T
) AUTO operation and
whether the unit was turned ON or OFF. If the unit was left in MANUAL ON
it will “awake” in Normal AUTO mode so that the solar pump does not turn
ON immediately.
The unit will not remember when the
Auto Purge
was set and will use the
time that power came back on or the first solar pump operation to reset.
To reset this function, simply turn the solar pump ON and OFF manually at
approximately the time you would like the Auto Purge function to run the
pump.
Solar Pump Run Time
This is an energy saving feature.
To avoid fast stop/start operation in AUTO mode due to temporary weather
conditions (clouds passing or short durations of sunshine) the unit will run
the pump for a minimum of 10 minutes and stop the pump for a minimum of
10 minutes.
Auto Purge Feature
The Auto Purge feature is designed to circulate the pool water daily to
prevent build-up of stagnant, untreated water in the solar collector.
It is recommended that you leave your SolarMatic ON all year. In cooler
months the solar pump may not operate while in AUTO mode, so the Auto
Purge feature will operate the solar pump for a few minutes every 24hrs to
purge the system.
If you wish to set this operation to a particular time of the day simply
operate the solar pump manually to reset the 24hr timer. The Auto Purge
will then operate at approximately the same time each day.
