1. C for RUN and 4 C for END Factory Test To run the factory test hold the SELECT button when first applying power the unit will perform a series of self diagnostic functions with the pump running If there are any faults they will be reported on the display before the unit restarts into normal operation Note that this will force all settings to a factory default state Re enable time clock if required also set the Pump Load value temperature limit and operating mode to their required settings2. ingress Any excess cable should be removed and re fitted ensuring that the wire ends are tinned with solder SL6E CD INSTALLER SETTINGS PUMP LOAD SETTING IMPORTANT The controller will not operate and will display a INSTALLER MUST SET PUMP LOAD message The correct Load setting is required for this controller to pick up a pump which is failing to prime After setting the load values test by starting the solar pump in Manual Mode and ensure that the solar pump will switch off if the filtration pump fails to provide water Filtration Pump Load Automatic Setting There are 2 methods for setting the load detection of the filtration pump For automatic setting ensure the filtration pump is operating and primed Then simply hold the UP button then press SELECT the unit will then display the pump s load value and automatically sets the threshold levels and returns to automatic operation if the current draw of the filtration pump drops below this level then the solar pump is forced to switch off Advanced Settings To select the advanced settings hold the DOWN button then press SELECT Filtration Pump Load Manual Settings If setting the load value please ensure your filtration pump is connected to the auxiliary power socket right hand side and that the filtration pump is primed and if it s a variable speed pump ensure the filtration pump is operating at the required speed After releasing the SELECT button the LOAD xxx value is di
3. this will most likely occur at night and therefore requires the filtration to run at night and will attempt to cool the pool to 1 C above the temperature limit Normal heating will occur the next day if the pool drops below the set temperature limit by 1 C Settings mode is for setting the unit into time clock operation When you select this option you will be asked if you wish to use the clock feature CLK ON OFF If you select OFF then the controller will not work as a time clock model and will allow the solar pump to run whenever there is solar heating available and if the filtration pump is operating If you select ON you will be prompted to set the time of day the controller will work in time clock mode and the solar pump is prevented from starting outside of the set hours Unless tropical mode is selected Set the time of day in 24 hour format note there is an AM PM indication to avoid incorrect settings Seconds are automatically set to zero Once the time is set select the START hour from 6am till noon default is 9am which means the solar pump cannot start before 9am Now select the END hour from 15 3pm till 21 9pm default is 19 7pm which means the solar pump will stop at 7pm SL6E CD INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS CONTROLLER Find a suitable location to mount the control box The controller should be installed out of direct weather and no closer than 3 meters from the water s edge Lift up the two mounting tabs and use two appropr
4. NOTES 1 Ifa sensor fault is detected the controller will display which sensor failed POOL and or ROOF and the type of failure 2 After a power outage all configurable items are retained amp the clock if used will keep time for up to 14 days 3 Temperature sensors used with this unit is digital and is accurate to 0 5 Celcius no calibration is required 4 The sensor cable with the thin trace is the positive and is fitted to the right hand side of the plug when looking at the plug screws incorrect polarity will be displayed as a short circuit or reversed fault 5 A filtration pump that uses too much current can bring up an OVERLOAD condition Disconnect power amp check the condition of the filtration pump this will prevent the solar pump from running 6 When the auxiliary power socket detects the filtration pump starting it will perform a 3 minute checking sequence that ensures there is suitable temperature amp water flow before the solar pump will start When the filtration pump is stopped the solar pump is also stopped 7 Pump load values displayed is relative to how much power is consumed by the pump note that variable speed pumps tend to display higher than expected values 8 Maximum rated output load for the 240V socket is 10 Amps 2400 Watts WARRANTY This range of product is covered by a limited 2 year warranty against component failure or faulty workmanship from the date of installation A faulty unit should be ret
5. and insulate this section some ambient differences can travel up the tinned copper wire and affect the sensor reading The roof temperature sensor must be fitted into a small piece of solar collector or equivalent and attached to the roof The best location is within an arms length of the gutters edge of the house or shed as long as the sensor end is not shaded and is on a roof of similar aspect of the main collector It must not be fitted on top of the solar collector or fitted to high points on the roof like Ridge Capping as false readings will be detected The sensor plug is to be fitted to the right hand socket marked ROOF Keep in mind that it is of the utmost importance to keep the roof temperature sensor cable as short as possible as this will assist in the longevity of the sensor and controller in the event of electrical storm activity and power surges All temperature sensor cables must NOT be run parallel to power cables and should never be cable tied to power cables All cable run lengths should be less than 50m if possible Cable ties should be used to fasten the sensor cable to the cold water inlet pipe making sure that the ties are approximately 10mm from PVC fittings Cable ties should be tightened only firm over tightening can cause breaks in the outer PVC if not careful If the cable is to be run under ground a conduit must be used to protect the wire and there is to be no cable joins within conduit ends must be sealed to prevent water
