Controller Mounting
Find a suitable location to mount the control box. Ideally as with all pool equipment it should be
installed out of direct weather and no closer than 3 meters from the water’s edge and a minimum
600mm above ground. Fix the mounting bracket to a solid structure and slide the controller on,
keeping in mind that the power cable is 1.8m long and should be plugged directly into a general
power outlet, not into an extension lead.
Pump Connection
The solar pump plugs into the 240V socket labelled PUMP. The maximum load is 9.98 AMPS at
2395W.
Pool Sensor
The pool sensor must be tted into the heating circuit, as close to the pool as practical, preferably
in a position out of direct sunlight. It is recommended that a 14.5mm hole be drilled in the side
of the PVC pipe (not the top of the pipe where water will collect). This can be carried out using a
Dontek PD01 grinding drill or a small pilot hole can be drilled with a 14.0mm drill-bit spinning in
a counter clockwise direction to minimise the chance of shattering pipe. Insert the grommet into
the pipe and gently push in the sensor barb. Ideally ~30cm of the cable from the sensor should
be tied to the shaded side of the pipe to prevent extreme ambient conditions leeching into the
sensor via the copper in the cable. The blue sensor plug is to be tted to the plug socket marked
POOL.
Roof Sensor
The roof sensor must be tted into a small piece of collector material away from the main
collector but on the same aspect, preferably no more than 50cm from the roof gutter (for ease of
sensor replacement). If required, the roof sensor can be on a dierent roof as the solar collector as
long as the alignment to the sun is similar to the solar collector. For encapsulated collector panels,
use the manufacturer’s instructions for roof sensor placement. The red sensor plug is to be tted
to the plug socket marked ROOF.
SENSOR NOTES: All excess cable must be removed; coils of cable are not permitted under any
circumstances and must not be tied to 240V wiring. If the cable is to be extended with non-
genuine cable a size of 14/020 should be used. Any cable joins should be soldered. Heat shrink
is to be used over soldered joints to eliminate moisture ingress, and the cable end is to be retted
to the plug sockets. Once cables have been correctly tted the unit can then be turned on.
