OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS 

 
OPERATOR CONTROL PANEL 

 

AUTOMATIC  (AUTO) 

When AUTOMATIC is selected, the temperature comparator located within the POWER

PAK

 will control 

the circulation pump. This is the recommended setting for the POWER

PAK

 when in normal operation. 

The Power light will be ON, and the circulation pump running light will be ON when the pump is running 

as determined by the temperature comparator. 

OFF

 

When OFF is selected the circulation pump and temperature comparator will not operate. The Power 

light will be OFF indicating that the control system is switched off. 

MANUAL  (MAN)

 

When MANUAL is selected the circulation pump will operate continuously. The serviceman normally 

uses this selection for system testing and commissioning purposes. The Power light will be OFF and the 

circulation pump running light will be ON. 

CLOSED CIRCUIT FLUID LEVEL - FAULT INDICATOR 

This indicator will illuminate when the closed circuit fluid level falls below 15% of the drain back tank 

volume. When illuminated both circulating pumps will be prevented from operating. Illumination of the 

fault light indicates a problem with the system; call a Solahart technician to examine the installation.  
If the fault light comes on, the following steps must be taken: 

1.  the reason for the fluid loss must be determined and rectified,  
2.  the closed circuit refilled with the specified water and Hartgard fluid mix, and 
3.  the power connection reset by switching the mains OFF and then ON again.
