Menu button: The Set Water Temp settings is displayed.
Right button: Press the button to display the "System Control" setting.
Up/Down button: The selections are:
AUTO: Automatically switch the system on whenever solar energy is available. Use
"AUTO" for normal operation and adjust the desired temperature setting for the pool,
spa. In "AUTO" mode, SunTouch will heat the pool or spa (rotate valve to solar
position) when the pool/spa sensor temperature is 3º or more higher than the collector
sensor temperature, and the pool or spa temperature is less than the high limit
temperature setting. When the two sensor temperatures are within 2º or the pool or
spa sensor is above the high limit setting SunTouch will stop heating and return the
valve to the pool position.
SOLAR ON: Manually switch the solar system on regardless of solar energy being
available. This position should be used only to test the solar system operation. Note:
The filter pump timer must be set so that the filter pump operates during the time
of the day when solar energy is available.
Note: Pool Pressure Cleaner Delay: Whenever the solar system is turned on, an
electronic delay automatically turns off the pool pressure cleaner for five
minutes. This protects the pump from damage caused by air in the solar panels
at system start-up. The pressure cleaner is connected to AUX 2 which will be
always set to on.
SOLAR OFF: Manually switch the solar system off.
