1) MAN/BACKWASH
This menu is manual control of the circulating pump (filtration), whenever you enter this menu the circulating pump will
toggle between on/off and all heating is turned off. You can adjust the period that manual filtration runs for, after the
required time the controller reverts to automatic operation. When you scroll through the 24 hour period the pump will
toggle between on/off. Pressing the ENTER/MANUAL button will return you to the SETTINGS MENU.
2) FILTER TIMER
When the FILTER TIMER is selected the following is displayed;
Select the number of times per day you wish the circulation pump to operate for filtration purposes. If OFF is selected
then the pump will only operate for heating purposes, otherwise the following is displayed;
One time per day menu:
Twice per day FILTER CYCLE 1 menu:
Twice per day FILTER CYCLE 2 menu:
Adjust the start time and end time for the required filter cycle(s), the circulation pump will run between these times for
filtration purposes.
Note1: Take care not to overlap filter cycle 2 times with the filter cycle 1 times as the result will be one cycle per day.
Note2: For 24 hour filtration set to run 1 time per day with the start & end times the same (E.g. 12:00 – 12:00).
Note3: If the unit is configured as a series retro-fit and solar is not locked to the filter timer then any solar gain will over-
ride the filter timer to operate circulating pump for solar heating.
Note4: In winter mode the 2
nd
filter cycle does not run if it is set to disabled in winter mode.
**Factory Default is ON, one time per day from 09:00 to 17:00 (the 2
nd
cycle default is 17:00-21:00)
3) TEMPERATURE
When the temperature menu is selected the following is displayed;
Adjusting the temperature limit will allow the controller to heat pool until the temperature limit +½°C is achieved,
heating will then remain off until the sample wait period expires, if no sample wait period is active the heating will
remain off until the pool temperature drops ½°C below the temperature limit setting, due to rounding the actually
heating hysteresis is ±½°C.
The ability to solar heat the pool will depend on weather conditions.
** The factory default for SOL. LIMIT is 30°C
4) SOLAR MODE
When the solar mode menu is selected the following is displayed;
SUMMER MODE is the normal operation of heating the swimming pool.
TROPICAL MODE is selected if you wish to cool an overheated swimming pool, if the pool temperature is equal to or
above the solar limit temperature limit by 1.5°C then tropical mode is activated. The solar pump will run if the roof
temperature is colder than the pool until SOL LIMIT is obtained; note that this is most likely to occur at night. Note that
tropical mode may be activated by the anti-boil function.
WINTER/AWAY MODE, when selected you will be prompted to select the start month of winter and the start month of
summer. Once the winter months have been set an option to disable the 2
nd
filter cycle is displayed, selecting ‘NO’ will
not allow the filter cycle 2 to run during the selected winter months. Winter/Away Mode assists in the systems off-
season maintenance and save energy as solar gain may be available but swimming temperature cannot be achieved or
solar heating is not desired. A 3 minute flush of the solar collector occurs between the solar start time and the end time,
providing the roof temperature is equal or greater than the pool, but if that condition does not occur before 1pm
(13:00) then a solar system flush will be forced to occur. Selecting winter mode does not turn off auxiliary heating. A
