Aqua-Gen 3D INSTRUCTIONS
The Aqua-Gen 3D is a micro-processor based solar controller used to heat your pool/spa from your
solar collector. The controller does this by sensing the temperature on the roof and the temperature of
the pool. If the roof temperature rises 7°C above the pool temperature and the pool temperature is
below the set point then the controller will switch power to the solar pump which in turn will cycle the
pool water through the collector to heat the water and then return it to the pool. If the pool temperature
rises to the set point or the roof temperature falls to within 2°C of the pool water the controller will
switch power off to the solar pump.

OPERATION
For normal operation
the controller should be in AUTO mode (indicated by green light).
To test pump
press the MODE button once (manual is indicated by light).
To change desired pool temperature
press the SELECT button once. The set (yellow) light should
be on and the display will indicate the set point, The UP/DOWN buttons may now be pressed to
change the set point. The display will revert back to the pool temperature about 8 seconds after the
last button was pressed.
To display roof temperature
press the SELECT button twice. The roof (red) light should be on and
the display will indicate the roof temperature. The display will revert back to the pool temperature
about 8 seconds after the last button was pressed.
To activate winter mode
press the MODE button twice if in AUTO or once if in MANUAL (indicated
by red light). In this mode the pump will turn on for approximately 10 minutes every day at the time the
winter mode was activated. If there is a power failure this will reset the 24 hour timer so the pump will
come on at the time the power is restored.
MINIMUM ROOF SETTING (SAMPLING)
To prevent the unit from sampling at night an adjustable setting has been provided. The
roof
temperature needs to be above this value for the unit to sample. To adjust this value:
1. Press the
SELECT
button until the roof temperature is displayed
2. Press the
UP/DOWN
once to see the value
