Catch Power GREEN – User Guide - Page 3
Understanding the CATCH buttons
Each button on the control console represents a different mode of operation. You change modes by
gently pressing on the round circle that represents each button. Catch will let you know if it has
changed modes by the green LED lighting up on the button you have just pressed.
3. Heat Now Button
The Heat Now mode is entered into by pressing the Heat now button.
The Heat Now mode is used to get your hot water heated as soon as you press the button. In this
mode the device will first check to see if it can you power from the Off Peak line. If the off peak is
not installed or is not available then it will use normal mains power.
Once the hot water service hits thermal cut off CATCH will move out of Heat now mode and go back
into Boost 5hrs mode.
Heat Now Lock mode can be entered by pressing the Heat Now button a second time. CATCH will
tell you it is in Heat Now Lock mode by flashing the led on the Heat Now Button on and off.
When CATCH is in Heat Now Lock mode CATCH stay in Heat Now mode until it is manually changed
to another mode.
4. Boost 5hrs Button
The Boost 5Hrs mode means CATCH will use a maximum of 5hs of Off Peak energy each day as well
as the excess solar energy to heat hot water. This value will change (default) depending on when
thermostat cut-off is reached from solar. This value can also be fixed (flashing LED). See chart below
for details.
5. Boost 2.5hrs Button
The Boost 2.5Hrs mode means Catch will attempt to use 2.55hs of Off Peak energy each day as well
as the excess solar energy to heat hot water. This value will change (default) depending on when
thermostat cut-off is reached from solar. This value can also be fixed (flashing LED). See chart below
for details.
6. Solar Only Button
The default (solid LED) is for the solar to provide required energy unless thermostat cut-off is not
reached during the day. In this case, the off-peak is called on to complete the process that night.
If the mode button is selected twice (LED flashing), the Solar Only mode means CATCH will not use
any Off-Peak, or any other source of mains power, to heat the hot water tank. The only energy that
will be sent to the hot water service is solar energy that would have otherwise been exported to the
grid.
