DTAC-102
INSTALLATION, USER AND
REFERENCE MANUAL
Thank you for purchasing the DTAC-102 solar pool heating controller, the most advanced on the
world market. DTAC-102 offers simple and intuitive user control for a solar pool heating system, ease
of configuration and a mobile App.
The App can remotely control, monitor and report the status and performance of your solar pool
heating system.
The DTAC system is backwards compatible with ASCON sensors, and DONTEK "Plus" sensors.
WARNING:
The DTAC product line is rated to supply a maximum combined power of 2.3kW under
Approval Certificate NSW29186. If the product is connected to equipment with a load greater
than 2.3kW then the DTAC may be damaged. The DTAC product must NOT be installed where
sustained overload can occur and it is not warranted under such usage. For a load greater
than 2.3kW then an AMATEK PS001A power separator must be used, which can take an
additional 2.4kW load, or 4.7kW in total. See Section 9 below for a system load calculator.
It is recommended to install the product under cover, not in direct sunlight, and in accordance
with AS/NZS 3000 and AS/NZS 3136.
