CIRCUIT FUNC.
From the "Circuit Functions" menu you can assign special logic to the cleaner pump, spa spillway, lights
and MagicStream laminar circuits. For example, when setting up an automatic pool cleaner pump you
would assign the circuit function "MASTER CLEANER." With this "Cleaner" logic the cleaner pump
would force the filter pump on, and the cleaner pump would start after a delay of five minutes. The
cleaner pump would automatically shut off whenever the spa and/or solar is switched on.

Freeze Protection

Freeze protection switches on a circuit if the outside air temperature sensor detects the temperature is
getting close to freezing (below 2°C). The system will switch on all circuits that have been assigned freeze
protection, and runs the circuits for 15 minutes to stop the pipes from freezing. This is especially important
if the pool is in a cold climate where the temperature is cold enough to freeze water in the pipes and
equipment. IN MOST PARTS OF AUSTRALIA & NEW ZEALAND FREEZE PROTECTION IS UNNECESSARY. If
freeze protection is set to both the spa and pool circuits, the filter pump switches on and the pool and spa
valves alternate every 15 minutes to keep the water moving in both the pool and spa. This process continues
until the freeze condition is over. Freeze protection is ON by default for the Pool and Spa circuits, unless you
are located in an alpine region in Australia or Southern New Zealand, you should deactivate it.
