Page 14: How The Sc-1 Works
HOW THE SC-1 WORKS For most applications, the SC-1 can be simply installed and switched on without any further adjustment. The default set point is 28.0 C with a 1.0 C control band. This means that the solar pump will be switched ON when the water temperature falls below 27.0 C, and back OFF again when the water temperature rises above 28.0 C. -
Page 15: Winter Mode
WINTER MODE Winter mode is used to stop heating when there is not WINTER enough solar energy to heat the pool sufficiently during the winter months. In Winter mode, the SC-1 will run the solar pump for 5 minutes per day, to help preserve seals and other parts of the system. -
Page 16: Start Time
START TIME In some areas, there is enough solar energy to start the SETUP solar pump very early in the morning, resulting in high noise levels for you and your neighbours. The default setting is 7:00am. The SC-1 allows you to set the earliest start time: ! Press the SETUP button. -

Page 18: Temperature Calibration
TEMPERATURE CALIBRATION The SC-1 is pre-calibrated to the Pool Temperature SETUP sensor supplied in the kit. Re-calibrating the Pool Temperature sensor should only be required if the sensor is replaced. The Wireless Roof Temperature sensor does not require calibration, even if the sensor and/or SC-1W ENTER transmitter are replaced. -
Page 19: Pairing A New Transmitter
PAIRING A NEW TRANSMITTER The SC-1W Transmitter and SC-1 Controller are paired at the factory before being packed. If this pairing has been lost, or if the SC-1W Transmitter or SC-1 Controller is replaced in the future, this section explains how to pair the two devices. Ensure that the current SC-1W Transmitter is not communicating with the SC-1 Controller. - Page 20 PAIRING A NEW TRANSMITTER Pair the SC-1 Controller with the new SC-1W Transmitter: ! If the SC-1 Controller was showing “No RF” as detailed in Step 1, and the SC-1W Transmitter was SETUP put into pairing mode as per Step 2, the SC-1 Controller will now show “Pair?”...
