Page 4: Specifications
Aqua Solar Digital Solar Control System The Aqua Solar Digital Solar Control System is a differential temperature control for solar heating of pools, spas, and hot tubs. The Aqua Solar is available in 3 models; AQ-SOL-LV, AQ-SOL-LV-TC and AQ-SOL-LV-SP. These models provide differential temperature control with an adjustable calibrated water temperature high limit. -
Page 5: Operation
OPERATION The Aqua Solar is a fully automatic solar heating control which requires minimal set up or adjustment under normal operating conditions. Typically the following is re- quired: 1. Set the main switch to AUTO 2. Set the “Desired Temperature” knob to the desired temperature for the pool 3. -

TIME CLOCK -- MANUAL CONTROL The manual control can override the timer and is located at approximately the 4 o’clock position. “1” (up) - pump ON “ ” (center) - timer controls pump “0” (down) - pump OFF NOTE: If the solar override function is enabled, then the Aqua Solar may keep the filter pump running even though the time clock is “off”... -
Page 7: Installation
INSTALLATION Mounting The Aqua Solar is designed for outdoor use. Mount the enclosure vertically with the knockouts facing downward. For safety, the Aqua Solar must be a minimum of 5 feet (horizontally) from the pool or spa. Power input Turn off power at circuit breaker before wiring. Follow NEC and all local electrical codes. -
Page 8: Wiring
Sensor Mounting and Wiring Most installations use a Goldline "PC" type sensor for both the "SOLAR" sensor and "POOL" sensors. The "AUX" sensor is required for optional recirculate freeze protection (see description of this function on page 9). Otherwise, the "AUX" sensor can simply display the ambient air temperature. - Page 9 AQ-SOL-LV Pool Sweep Pump with Solar Override & Pool Sweep Interlock Contactor (240 VAC Coil) Aqua Solar (AQ-SOL-LV) 120/240 Pool Sweep Timer Booster Pump Pool Sweep Filter Pump 240 VAC Ground Be careful not to cross phases on filter pump wiring Pool Filter Filter Pump Pump...

Page 12: Jumper Settings
Jumper Settings The jumpers that enable/disable optional control features are located on the right side of the main circuit board (see page 4). The factory default for all functions is "dis- abled" (each jumper will be on a single pin). To "enable" a function, simply take the designated jumper and place it over both pins. -
Page 13: Troubleshooting
Troubleshooting 1. "Power" LED off: Check main power circuit breakers. Check to see if the Aqua Solar power is connected to the LOAD side of the filter pump timer, in which case the Aqua Solar will only be on when the filter pump is on. Lastly, check the internal fuse which is located on the right upper side of the main circuit board. - Page 14 the back cover to check the "POOL" sensor with a voltmeter (you don't need to disconnect the sensor). Alternatively, you can disconnect the sensor and measure the sensor resistance. Replace the sensor or fix the wiring as required. If the sensor and wiring are both good, then the main circuit PCB may have a problem.

Limited Warranty - Solar Controls Limited Warranty - Solar Controls Limited Warranty - Solar Controls Limited Warranty - Solar Controls Limited Warranty - Solar Controls 11/1/2001 This warranty statement is applicable to all solar control products manufactured by Goldline Controls, Inc., previously known as Independent Energy, Inc. (Goldline) on or after November 1, 2001. - Page 16 Temperature/Resistance /Voltage All Goldline controls use a 10K thermistor sensors. When disconnected from the control, the sensor will read 10K ohms at 25ºC/77ºF. Refer to the chart below for the resistance at other temperatures. For a given temperature, the resistance reading should be accurate to ±1%.
