MODEL V2-1 Radio Remote Solar Controller with PV Panel
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Summer Mode
is normal operating mode used during the Pool Swimming Season. You may set
the desired pool limit by pressing the UP or Down Buttons. The display shows the pool
temperature then flashes the limit setting and light, the pump light and pump will be on when
solar gain is available.
Manual Mode
is used to prime, clean or test the pump. To select manual mode press the
SELECT button until the PUMP/MAN light is illuminated. The pump will then start, or stop if it has
been running. To return to normal run simply press the SELECT button till the AUTO light is
illuminated. The V2 will automatically return to AUTO run after 30 minutes, with a limit of 30
degrees.
Winter Mode
should be selected when the pool is not being used for extended periods. The
pump will be turned on for 3 minutes every day at the same time Winter Mode was selected. This
will assist in the systems off-season maintenance and save energy. To enter this mode press the
SELECT button till the WINTER light is illuminated. If the power is interrupted during winter mode
the V2 will continue to count time accurately.
Tropical Mode
is used to assist in cooling over heated pools. It can be selected but is not
supported on this model as no roof temperatures can be obtained at night.
Roof Temperature
When selected, the roof temperature will be displayed constantly for 3 minutes then return to
AUTO. The ROOF indicator will give 4 quick flashes when a signal is received from the
transmitter.
OPERATION
The V2 will turn the pump on when the roof temperature is higher than the pool (pipe)
temperature by 8°C and off at 4°C. Roof temperature is received every 10 seconds from the
transmitter. When the pool temperature reaches the limit setting the limit light will flash, it will
remain in this state while the roof is hot to prevent over heating the pool. The V2 will then wait
for night time to pass and the roof to reach 40°C the next day to start the process again, this is
to prevent the solar starting too early in the morning. If the roof does not achieve 40°C the
following morning the system will break out of its hold mode 12 hours from when the pool first
reached limit. These functions are to minimise the pool from overheating, hence reducing water
evaporation and consumption of chemicals. An auto flush program is incorporated to ensure
accurate pool temperature readings are obtained as the pool sensor is normally located well away
from the actual swimming pool and may sit in direct sunlight or in warm enclosures, the last
recorded pool temperature will be displayed for 6 hours from when the pump was last running.
When auto flush is in wait mode the limit light will be on constant until the pump is turned on for
a three minute test, the pump light will flash until this test is over.
