Owner-Level Programming (Complete) - Aquacal Heat Pump Installation Manual

HEATER CONTROLS...continued
This section covers features and settings topically accessed first by the installer, and also accessible
to the owner/operator. These features reside at the Level-1 access point within the microprocessor.
Note: if preferred, all programming may be performed without water flow, waiting to start the water
pump as the last step in the set up and run process.
1. Applying Power to The Controller:
A. When power is first applied, the controller performs a lamp test and the display will read
[888]. Following [888] the software version will display briefly.
B. The control will then display the actual water temperature, provided the circulating pump is
operating, and adequate water is flowing through the heater.
C. If the pool-circulating pump is off, the control will display: [FLO]. This code message
indicates no (or insufficient) water is being circulated through the heat pump.
2. MODE Controls Explained, and Starting the Heat Pump
Once electrical power is supplied to the heat pump, sufficient water is circulating, and the heater
controller has successfully completed its self-test, the heater is ready to operate. The heat pump has
four controller operating "Modes"; OFF, HEAT, COOL * , and ACH * (Auto-Change Over).
OFF - The heat pump is shipped in the OFF mode. When the heat pump MODE is set to
OFF, the current water temperature will be displayed and no functions, values, or
programming will be available for adjustment. If there is insufficient water flow, the unit
will display FLO.
HEAT - To turn the unit on in heat only mode, press the mode button to HEAT. The display
will show the actual water temperature. Press the UP ARROW key to set the desired
temperature. After the desired temperature is set, the unit will again display the actual
water temperature. If the set temperature is above the actual water temperature, the
heat pump will start and continue to heat until the desired temperature is reached. The
heat pump will periodically turn on, calling for heat as needed in order to maintain the set
temperature until the mode is changed back to OFF. PLEASE NOTE - both the
compressor and the fan must be operating before the "Heating" LED will illuminate.
COOL * - To turn the unit on in cooling mode, press the mode button to COOL. The display
will show the actual water temperature. Press the UP ARROW key to set the desired
temperature. After the desired temperature is set, the unit will again display the actual
water temperature. If the set temperature is below the actual water temperature, the heat
pump will start and continue to cool the water until the desired temperature is reached.
The heat pump will periodically turn on to cool the water as needed until the mode is
changed back to OFF.
ACH * - To have the heat pump maintain a particular temperature, regardless of the
temperature of the water, press the mode button to ACH. The heat pump will turn on in
either heat or cooling mode to maintain that temperature as needed until the heat pump
mode is changed to OFF.
3. Turning The Heat Pump Off:
A. Method 1: using the [MODE] key, press the key until the display reads "OFF" The
heater will shut off and remain off until the [MODE] key is used to select an operational
mode. This is the preferred method for shutting off the heat pump.
