TEMP UNITS: 

°

 
This prompt indicates that Zolar is currently configured to display all temperatures degrees Fahrenheit. Use the 

+/Yes

 

or 

-/No

 keys to toggle between the °F and °C format.  Once the desired units are displayed, press the

 Next 

 key to save 

the temperature format and proceed to the next item in Configuration Menu. 
 
 

START WEEP #1:  

°

F  34 

 
This prompt indicates that the Weep #1 Output will start cycling at 34°F.  This output is controlled by the lower of the 
temperatures indicated by Sensor #1 and Sensor #2 (if configured for Dual-Temp Weep). Fail-Safe reasons the Weep 
Output relays are normally energized when it is warm and de-energized when it is cold. Also, for Fail-Safe reasons, we 
recommend using the N.O. relay contacts to drive a N.O. solenoid valve for the weep system. In this manner, if power 
fails or a wire is broken, the weep water will flow and prevent freezing of the high pressure hoses and wands.  The Start 
Weep set point controls the temperature at which "weep cycling" of the output begins. The Start Weep set point can be 
adjusted in one-degree steps by using the 

+/Yes

 and 

-/No

 keys.  The 

Next

 key will save the new value and advance the 

menu to the Full Weep message. 
 
 

FULL WEEP #1:  

°

F 15 

 
This prompt indicates the temperature at which "weep cycling" becomes 100%. At this temperature and below, the 
associated Weep Output relay will always be turned off so that the N.O. solenoid valve will be open providing weep 
water to prevent freezing of the high pressure hoses and wands.  At temperatures between Start Weep and Full Weep, 
the Weep Output relay will energize for only a percentage of each minute in proportion to the proximity of the sensed 
temperature to the Start Weep and Full Weep set points as detailed in the diagram on page 2. In the example using Start 
Weep = 34°F and Full Weep = 15°F, if the sensed temperature is 20°F then we would be 5° from Full Weep out of a 
total of 19° between Start Weep and Full Weep. Since at Start Weep the relay is On 100% of the time, then at 20°F the 
relay would be On 5/19 = 26.3% of the time during each minute, for a period of 16 seconds each minute.  As with the 
Start Weep set point, this set point can be adjusted in one-degree steps by using the 

+/Yes

 and 

-/No

 keys.  The 

Next

 

key will save the new value and advance to the next item in Configuration Menu. 
 

 

AUX #1 TYPE:  TEMP 

 
The equipment connected to the Aux #1 output can be controlled based on time, temperature or ambient light intensity.    
The above message indicates that Zolar is currently configured to control the Aux #1 Output based on having a 
Temperature Probe connected to the Sensor #2 terminals.  If this is not the desired configuration, use the 

+/Yes

 or 

-/No

 

key to select either LIGHT or TIME. 
 

¾

 

If 

TEMP

 is selected, the next prompt displays a temperature set point:  

 

TEMP TRIP:  °F  34   

You can change the temperature trip set point by using the 

+/Yes

 and 

-/No

 keys. The 

Next

  key will save the 

new value and advance the menu to the next item. 
 

AUX #1 ON IF COLD  

This prompt indicates that the Aux #1 Output relay will be energized on temperatures below the Temp Trip 
setting This example setting would be useful to control a pump circulate antifreeze solution in pipes embedded 
in a concrete slab. When controlling Aux Outputs by temperature, Zolar uses 2°F of hysteresis to prevent 
indecisive behavior near the set point. In this example Aux #1 Output will turn Off when the temperature rises 
to 36°F.  You can change the setting to On If Hot by using the 

+/Yes

 and 

-/No

 keys. The 

Next

  key will save 

the new value and advance the menu to the next item.
