TROPICAL MODE
.
This mode is used to cool your pool at night if it overheats in VERY hot weather, as
well as heating during the day. Most people do not need to use this function.
To select tropical mode
, the unit must first not be in its winter mode or a solar override mode. Then
press the "WINTER" and "DISPLAY" buttons together for 5 seconds. The "TROPICAL" LED will be on,
and the unit will then run the solar pump for 6 minutes, then make a decision on how to heat or cool the
pool based on the sensor’s temperatures, activating the solar pump as required. When the pool has
reached your preset "comfort" temperature, it turns everything off and waits 4 hours before starting the
process again. Tropical mode will be remembered after a power interruption. To resume normal
operations, press the "WINTER" and "DISPLAY" buttons together.
OVERRIDE MODES
.
Before selecting these modes, remember that the unit is designed to work
automatically. Overriding the automatic operation can result in overheating of your pool or spa or
even cooling if the solar system continues to run when the sun is not shining.
To select "timer override on",
press the "TIMER" button, then the "+" button. The top display will
alternate between "On" and the current time, and the filter pump will go on. Automatic solar operations
can still occur, but winter mode will not operate (displays "w" instead of "W"). To remove the override,
press the "TIMER" button, then the "+" button. "Timer override on" is remembered after a power
interruption.
To select "timer override off",
press the "TIMER" button, then the "-" button. The display will alternate
between "OFF" and the current time, and the filter pump will go off. No solar operations (automatic or
winter) are possible and "solar override on" mode (if selected) is ignored, and the display shows the last
temperature or "w". To remove the override, press the "TIMER" button, then the "-" button. "Timer
override off" is remembered after a power interruption.
To select "solar override on",
press the "-" and "+" buttons together. Pressed for a short period, the
solar (and filter) pump will normally go on for 1 hour. Holding them down for 5 seconds and 4 hours will be
selected. The lower display will alternate between "On1" or "On4" and the pool (or last) temperature. To
remove the override, press the "-" and "+" buttons together. "Solar override on" is NOT remembered after
a power interruption.
To select "solar override off"
, press the "DISPLAY" and the "+" buttons together for 5 seconds. The
lower display will show "OFF". The solar pump will be off and no solar operations (automatic or winter)
are possible. Filter pump operations can still be controlled by the timer or timer override modes. To
remove the override, press the "DISPLAY" and "+" buttons together. "Solar override off" is remembered
after a power interruption
ERROR INDICATIONS
NOTE: In extremes of temperature, the sensor fault displays may show although the unit is not faulty.
Remember the pool temperature is sensed from the inlet pipe which can be much colder or hotter than
the pool if the system has been off for some time.
An indicated roof or pool sensor error will prevent automatic solar operation and stop solar pump
operation, but will allow winter mode (including solar pump operation). Roof and pool sensor errors may
show in some override modes, and may or may not stop normal operations.
If the unit displays "EEEE", then it has a memory fault, and may not operate correctly. The unit requires
servicing
