Heating Menu - Pentair ControlPro Series Installation Manual

HEATING menu

This menu manages the options for heating. In the SETTING menu has to be defined what type of heating system(s) is
connected to the ControlPro.
If no heating is configured in the SETTING menu, this menu will not appear.
When a VS pump is configured, speed 2 will be activated whenever the 'heater' output is active. Speed 3 will
be activated whenever the 'solar' output is active.

This screen controls if the heating should be activated.
OFF: no heating system will be activated
AUTO: will activate heating output or heating and solar (when solar is
configured).
SOLAR: only solar output will be active.
Pool temperature setpoint. Heating output will stop when this setpoint is
reached based upon input from the water temperature sensor.
The solar heating will not stop at the setpoint, but continue as
long as enough temperature difference between pool and solar
panels exists.
It is possible to limit the operational window for the heating output. This
can be useful to avoid operation of a heat pump during the night when
efficiency is not optimal. Set both times to 00:00 is no time restriction is
required.
Setting this option to yes will activate the filtration (and heating) outside
the PROG or AUTO filtration schedules when the pool temperature is lower
than the setpoint.
The priority setting will not override the heating program
This setting defines the temperature difference between the pool
temperature and the solar temperature settings that will activate the solar
output. The output will remain active as long as the temperature difference
exists.
Example: pool temp is 26°C, Solar delta is +4  solar output becomes
active at 30°C
The Delta T heater option will allow for a priority setting between when
both heater and solar are configured. The heating output will stop at the
setpoint minus the value in this setting.
Example: By experience you know your solar panels will heat up the pool by
3°C on a normal sunny day. With the setting at -3°C, the heating output will
only heat up the pool to setpoint – 3°C (25°C if the pool temperature
setpoint would be at 28°C). This way the heating is only used for a
minimum period while the solar energy is used as much as possible.
