NOTES:
1.
If a sensor fault is detected the controller will display which sensor failed (POOL and/or ROOF) and
the type of failure.
2.
After a power outage all configurable items are retained & the clock (if used) will keep time for up to
14 days.
3.
Temperature sensors used with this unit is digital and is accurate to 0.5°Celcius, no calibration is
required.
4.
The sensor cable with the thin trace is the positive and is fitted to the right hand side of the plug
when looking at the plug screws, incorrect polarity will be displayed as a short circuit or reversed
fault.
5.
A filtration pump that uses too much current can bring up an OVERLOAD condition. Disconnect
power & check the condition of the filtration pump, this will prevent the solar pump from running.
6.
When the auxiliary power socket detects the filtration pump starting it will perform a 3 minute
checking sequence that ensures there is suitable temperature & water flow before the solar pump
will start. When the filtration pump is stopped the solar pump is also stopped.
7.
Pump load values displayed is relative to how much power is consumed by the pump, note that
variable speed pumps tend to display higher than expected values.
8.
Maximum rated output load for the 240V socket is 10 Amps / 2400 Watts.
WARRANTY
This range of product is covered by a limited 2 year warranty against component failure or faulty
workmanship from the date of installation. A faulty unit should be returned in the first instance to the
dealer from which the unit was purchased.
Damage to the unit due to misuse, power surges, lightning strikes or installation that is not in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instruction may void the warranty.
Warranty does not cover travel costs to or from installation site.
If the power cord is damaged, do not use the controller; return the unit to the supplier for repair.

SL6E CD Instruction rA6.doc
SL6E CD OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
DESCRIPTION:
The SL6E CD is a premium automatic solar controller with temperature adjustment, manual,
winter and tropical mode features. This unit is fitted with current detection on the auxiliary power socket;
the solar pump can only operate if the current load on the controllers auxiliary socket is within a certain
range (e.g. filter pump is operating and primed).
TEMPERATURE LIMIT:
To adjust the pool limit simply press the UP button to increase or the DOWN button to decrease the desired
temperature. The controller will automatically choose to run the pump based on solar gain (i.e. sun shining
& roof is hot), once the pools desired temperature is exceeded by ½°C the pump is stopped until the pool
temperature drops ½°C below the temperature limit setting.
MODE of operation:
Pressing the SELECT button once will display the current mode of operation, pressing it again or holding it
will select the next available mode of operation.
The available modes are SUMMER, MANUAL, WINTER, TROPICAL and SETTINGS.
Summer mode
is the normal operating mode for heating the pool.
Manual mode
is for testing the pump installation on a cold or cloudy day. Once manual mode is selected
the pump will start if it has been off, or stop if it has been on (running). After 30 minutes manual mode will
time-out and return to the previous operating mode. Note that Manual ON requires an operating filtration
pump in the auxiliary power socket.
Winter mode
of operation is for off-season maintenance or if pool heating is not required
(AWAY MODE)
.
This is a better option than turning off the controller as it will flush treated pool water through the solar
system as well as prolong pump bearing and mechanical seal life. The pump will run for 3 minutes once a
day 3 minutes after the filtration pump has started.
Tropical mode
of operation is for situations where the pool water overheats due to direct heating from the
sun. When the roof is 4°C cooler than the pool temperature, the pump is started (this will most likely occur
at night and therefore requires the filtration to run at night) and will attempt to cool the pool to 1°C above
the temperature limit. Normal heating will occur the next day if the pool drops below the set temperature
limit by 1°C.
Settings mode
is
for setting the unit into time-clock operation.
When you select this option you will be asked if you wish to use the clock feature (CLK? ON/OFF). If you
select OFF then the controller will not work as a time-clock model and will allow the solar pump to run
whenever there is solar heating available and if the filtration pump is operating. If you select ON you will be
prompted to set the time of day, the controller will work in time-clock mode and the solar pump is
prevented from starting outside of the set hours (Unless tropical mode is selected). Set the time of day in
24 hour format, note there is an AM/PM indication to avoid incorrect settings. Seconds are automatically
set to zero. Once the time is set select the START hour from 6am till noon, default is 9am which means the
solar pump cannot start before 9am. Now select the END hour from 15 (3pm) till 21 (9pm), default is 19
(7pm) which means the solar pump will stop at 7pm.
