MODEL SL6 DELUXE Digital Solar Controller
OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS
Summer Mode (AUTO) is normal operating mode used during the Pool Swimming Season. You may
set the desired pool limit by pressing the UP or Down Buttons. The display shows the pool temperature
then flashes the limit setting and light, the pump light and pump will be on when solar gain is available.
Manual Mode (PUMP/MAN) is used to prime, clean or test the pump. To select manual mode press
the SELECT button until the PUMP/MAN light is illuminated. The pump will then start, or stop if it has
been running. To return to normal run simply press the SELECT button till the AUTO light is illuminated.
The SL6 will automatically return to AUTO run after 30 minutes.
Roof Mode displays the roof sensor temperature, a hot roof indicates that solar gain (heating) is
available, if left unattended in this mode the SL6 will automatically return to AUTO run after 3 minutes.
Winter Mode should be selected when the pool is not being used for extended periods. The pump will
be turned on for 3 minutes every day at the same time Winter Mode was selected. This will assist in the
systems off-season maintenance and save energy. To enter this mode press the SELECT button till the
WINTER light is illuminated. If the power is interrupted during winter mode the SL6 will continue to
count time accurately.
Tropical Mode is used to assist in cooling over heated pools. If the limit has been exceeded, which is
indicated by the limit light on, and the roof temperature drops below the limit temperature (usually
some time late at night) the pump will turn on and pump pool water to the roof to cool it down. The
pump will turn off when the pool water is cooled to the limit setting. To set this function press the
SELECT button till the TROP light is illuminated. To switch back to Summer Mode press the SELECT
button till the AUTO light is illuminated.
Clock This model is fitted with a settable 24 hour clock, if the clock needs to be adjusted then hold the
up and down temperature buttons together until the display goes blank, then release the buttons.
While the minutes light (M) is flashing rapidly, use the up or down buttons to set the minutes then
press the select button. The (H) light will now be flashing rapidly so using the up or down buttons set
the hours then press select. The SL6 will now resume in summer mode (auto).
NOTE: it is a 24 hour clock so 3 pm is 15 (add 12 after midday).
Setting the clock correctly ensures the booster pump will run only when maximum heating is available,
that is from 0800h (8 am) till 1800h (6 pm). It also ensures that the booster pump will not run at night
to sample the pool water. Night time is indicated by a flashing AUTO light.
OPERATION
The SL6 will turn the pump on when the roof temperature is higher than the pool (pipe) temperature by
8°C and off at 4°C. When the pool temperature reaches the limit setting the limit light will turn on and
the auto light will flash, it will remain in this state for 4 hours. After 4 hours, and if solar heating is
available the pump is turned on for ~3 minutes to sample the pipe so an accurate pool temperature can
be recorded, if after 3 minutes the pool requires heating the pump will continue to run to heat the pool.
If solar heating is not available after the 4 hour wait a brief blink of the roof light is indicated. If the
pump is turned off due to the pool being at the set temperature limit, or if no heating is available on the
roof during day time operation, then the last accurate recorded pool temperature will be displayed for 6
hours from when the pump was last running. When the ~3 minute sample is active the pump/man light
will flash until this test is over
