The selections are:
AUTO:
Automatically switch the system on whenever solar energy is available.
Use “AUTO” for normal operation and adjust the desired temperature setting for the
pool, spa. In “AUTO” mode, the system will heat the pool or spa (rotate the valve to
solar position or turn on a booster pump) when solar heat is available and the “Set
Water Temp” is set higher than the water temperature. The solar temperature start and
stop differential settings are factory set at 6° and 3°. The solar roof sensor must be
6° higher than the water temperature. The pump must be ON for a few minutes for
operation. When the roof sensor and the water temperature are within 3°, solar heat
will switch off. This differential setting is adjustable in the “Stop Temp Diff” menu
setting. See your solar service professional for the optimum setting.
SOLAR ON:
Manually switch the solar system on regardless of solar energy being
available. This position should be used only to test the solar system operation.
Note: Pool Pressure Cleaner Delay: Whenever the solar system is turned on, an
electronic delay automatically turns off the pool pressure cleaner for five minutes.
This protects the pump from damage caused by air in the solar panels at system start-
up. The pressure cleaner is connected to AUX 2 which will be always set to on.
SOLAR OFF:
Manually switch the solar system off.
