Start Temp. Delta
Stop Temp. Delta
Nocturnal Cooling
Start Temp. Delta: The minimum temperature difference to start heating. The
temperature range is adjustable from 3° - 9°. Factory default is 6.
Stop Temp. Delta: The temperature difference at which heating will stop. The
temperature range is adjustable from 2° - 5°. Factory default is 3.
Solar Nocturnal Cooling ON/OFF: ON: Provides automatic nocturnal (nighttime)
cooling during night time hours for pools that overheat in hot climates. When
enabled, circulates pool water to the collector panels when the solar sensor
temperature and the pool temperature is hotter than the high limit setting. This
process cools the pool water over time. Circulation will stop when the solar sensor
temperature is 3 degrees (default) less than the pool temperature or the pool
temperature is cooler than the high limit setting. OFF: SOLAR nocturnal (nighttime)
cooling disabled.
Note: Valves A & B and Solar Heating: For Single Body systems, Valve A is used
for SOLAR if you choose the Solar Heater. For Dual Body systems, Valve B is used
for SOLAR if you choose the Solar Heater.
Solar Heating: Effective solar heat depends on the solar and water temperature
and the start and stop differentials, When solar is available, then the system will
rotate the 3-Way Valve and turn on the solar booster pump if applicable or increase
the RPM's if an IntelliFlo
solar collectors. If a pressure cleaner pump is installed, the cleaner pump will turn
off for 10 minutes every time solar turns ON.
The solar roof sensor must be 6° higher (based on Start/Stop Temp. Delta) than the
water temperature. The pump must be ON for a few minutes for operation. When
the roof sensor and the water temperature are within 3° of each other (based on
Start/Stop Temp. Delta), solar heat will switch off. The solar temperature start
and stop differential settings are factory at 6° and 3°. These differential settings
are adjustable. Refer to your solar service professional for the optimum setting.
Changing the differentials could result in the system not working properly.
Heating: Heating will start when the Start differential condition is met and the
water temperature is below the target temp. When these conditions are satisfied
heating is turned ON. Example: Water Temperature is 75°F; The target temperature
is 82°F. When the roof solar collectors temperature exceeds the water temperature
by 6° Start Temp Delta (81°F), the solar valve rotates. If a solar booster pump is
required, this pump will turn on.
