Requisite user qualification:
ELECTRICAL SPECIALIST
Electrical connection of heating system control may
only be performed by an ELECTRICAL SPECIALIST as
defined in the chapter
User qualification.
IMPORTANT NOTICE!
Observe maximum flows
Observe the maximum permissible currents for each
individual relay switch output (max. 4A) and for the sum
of all relay switch outputs being used in 230V~ (in sum,
max. 4A)
Please also refer to the Chapter
Depending on the type and model of the heating system, there are
various options for establishing the electrical connection (potential
free, 230V~,...).
In general, the connection options already described for the universal
switch outputs are available, see
Universal switch output

Overview
PoolManager
®
offers the capacity to trigger a solar heating system.
The solar heating system is triggered via a simple relay switch output
(potential free or 230V~). The exact type and design of the solar
heating system is not important. There only needs to be the pos
to turn the solar heating function on and off externally.
INFO
Toggle switch OUT 4 [31/32]
If you need a toggle switch for solar control, you can
use the relay switch output OUT 4:
•
[31b] Working contact
•
[32c] Resting contact

As an additional parameter, the requisite temperature difference
between solar temperature and pool temperature can be entered. The
solar control system won't trigger until solar temperature is higher than
pool temperature in the value indicated.
