CHANGING SET POINT TEMPERATURE

To change the set point temperature, press either the Up or Down arrow
buttons on the control.  The display will then show “POOL TEMPERATURE”
on the top line and the current set point temperature in numbers on the
bottom line.  After adjusting to the desired temperature setting, the display
will revert to “POOL – HEAT” (or whichever mode you are in) on the top line
and the pool temperature in numbers with “DEGREES” on the bottom line
after 5 seconds of inactivity and the new set point will be stored in memory.
The default factory setting for Pool temperature is 85 degrees Fahrenheit.

HEATER RUNNING TIME

The owner is responsible for determining the necessary length of operating
time for the pump and heater based upon their particular requirements.
Most units are sized to operate during the pool filtering cycle time of 8 to 12
hours daily, providing an even, steady flow of heat.  On warmer days the
heater will run less because there will be less heat loss from your pool.  The
heater is capable of running 24 hours per day if necessary.  When you first
run your heater, it may need to run continuously for 24 to 48 hours to get
the pool up to the desired temperature.

KEYPAD LOCKOUT

While in any mode the user can lockout the keypad by pressing and holding
the POOL/SPA button for 6 seconds. When the keypad lockout has been
enabled all buttons are disabled and the control will operate in whatever
mode it was in when the lockout occurred. Any button push while in lockout
will cause the display to show LOCKOUT for 5 seconds. To unlock the
Keypad, press and hold the POOL/SPA button for 6 seconds. The display will
show UNLOCKED for 5 seconds.

DEFROST CYCLE

The heater is designed to enter the defrost cycle at ambient air
temperatures below 48

°

 Fahrenheit.  During this cycle, the unit may shut

down and the control will display “Defrosting” until the ambient air
temperature rises above frosting conditions.

CONDENSATE DRAINAGE

It is normal for water to be draining from your heater.  This occurs because
the evaporator coil condenses the water from the air.  The water drains into
the base of the unit and out the holes that are located on each side of the
heater at the bottom.  Your heater can produce 1 to 3 gallons of water per
hour.  The water created from the condensation will dry up when the heater
shuts off.
