Dontek V7-1 STD Instructions

V7-1 STD – INSTRUCTIONS Page 1 of 2

CONTROLLER MOUNTING:

The controller enclosure must be firmly attached to a nearby solid fixture by either the two mounting lugs or direct
attachment though the controller. If mounting through the controller ensure the power cord is disconnected from
the mains supply then remove the enclosure front cover by turning the four corner locks so each arrow points to
the 'O' marked on the front cover. Insert two mounting screws diagonally through the oval holes in the enclosure,
refit front cover and turn the four corner locks to the 'I' position.
The power cable is 1.8m long and should be plugged directly into a general power outlet, not into an extension
lead.

CIRCULATING PUMP:

The solar circulating pump plugs into the right hand 240Vac socket marked as SOLAR PUMP. The left hand 240Vac
socket marked as AUXILIARY will provide continuous power, the AUX ON. LED will also be lit.
The maximum combined current is 10 AMPS 2400W.

TEMPERATURE SENSORS:

The pool sensor must be fitted into the suction line of the solar boost pump, preferably in a position out of direct
sunlight. For retro-fit systems the pool sensor must be fitted in the suction line before the take off Tee fitting for
the solar boost pump. It is recommended that a 14.5mm hole be drilled in the PVC pipe, this can be carried out
using a Dontek PD01 grinding drill or a small pilot hole can be drilled and a 14.0mm drill-bit used spinning in a
counter clockwise direction to minimize the chance of shattering pipe. Insert the grommet into the pipe and gently
push in the black sensor barb. The green sensor plug is to be fitted to the plug socket marked POOL.
Roof sensor must be fitted into a small piece of rubber collector material away from the main collector but on the
same aspect. Keep in mind that it is of the utmost importance to keep the roof sensor cable as short as possible
as this will assist in the longevity of the sensor and controller in the event of electrical storm activity and power
surges. Sensor cables must not be run parallel to power cables and run lengths should be less than 50m. Cable
ties should be used to fasten the sensor cable to the cold water inlet pipe making sure that the ties are
approximately 10mm from PVC fittings. Cable ties should be tightened only firm, over tightening can cause breaks
in the outer PVC if not careful. If the cable is to be run under ground a conduit must be used to protect the wire
and there is to be no cable joins within, conduit ends must be sealed to prevent water ingress. Any excess cable
should be removed and re-fitted ensuring that the wire ends are tinned with solder. The sensor plug is to be fitted
to the right hand socket marked ROOF.

DESCRIPTION:

The V7 STD is a swimming pool controller that heats a swimming pool by the use of solar panels.
If solar gain is available the solar system will heat the pool to the solar limit (sol limit).
Solar has a time lockout that prevents heating outside of the time set (default 09:00 – 18:00).
