The controller has facilitated accesses to the pertinent resources to the user. Following table describing these:
Short press: temperature setting for heating the pool / reservoir
Long press (4 seconds): access to advanced settings
Long press (see F12 parameter): enable/disable lock of functions
Short press: Toggles the display of the temperature (DIF, T1, T2) for 10 seconds
Short press: Toggles the pump mode for MANUAL ON (MAN)
Short press: Toggles the pump mode for AUTOMATIC (AUT)
Short press: Toggles the pump mode for OFF (Disconnected)
5.2 POOL/RESERVOIR HEATING TEMPERATURE (T2 SENSOR)
Sets the comfort temperature of the pool or thermal reservoir (T2). Upon reaching this temperature the water circulation pump is disconnected, avoiding thermal discomfort. To adjust this parameter give a short press on the SET key. Use or keys to adjust the value. To confirm this give a short press on the SET key and the value is saved in the controller's memory. This parameter can be adjusted between 0.0 to 105 °C or between 32 to 221°F.
5.3 PUMP WATER OPERATION MODE
To change the operation mode of the water pump use , and keys. The circulation water pump between the solar collector and thermal pool or reservoir can operate in three different modes. Description below:
Obs.: In the pump mode adjustment, the controller assumes the new Mode 5 seconds after your selection. This is also the time required for the parameter to be stored in its memory.When selected the MAN (manual) mode, the operation mode of the pump remains in this state for a period of 6 hours (fixed time) after the controller assumes the AUT (AUTO) mode. If you want to return to the AUT mode before 6 hours, press the AUT key at any time.
5.4 VIEW OTHER TEMPERATURES
To toggle between the display of the T1 temperature sensor, T2 sensor or differential of these (T1-T2), give short press on key until the desired temperature appears on the display. On digits in the upper display the measured temperature is displayed, and on the digits of the lower display the sensor description.The selected temperature is displayed on the display for 10 seconds, after this preferential indication is displayed again, as set in [,F01] parameter - Preferred Indication.
5.5 LOCK OF FUNCTIONS
For security purposes and to prevent unauthorized users from changing the settings of the controller, there is a lockout of functions feature. With this setting enabled, the parameters cannot be changed, however, can be viewed. In the lock condition, trying to change the value of a parameter is displayed the [,LOC][,,On] message on the display.To enable / disable the locking function should keep pressed the key the time set in parameter [,F12] - Time to lock functions.The icon indicates the user the lock state, when lit indicates that the lock function is active.CLUE: with the lock functions enabled, you avoid children, visitors or curious will change the operation mode or controller parameters. When there is need for a change, just hold down the key to enable / disable this feature.

6.3 DESCRIPTION OF PARAMETERS
[CoDE] – Access code (123):Required if you want to change the parameters for advanced configuration. To view the set parameters only, it is not necessary to insert this code.
[,F01] – Preferential indication:This function allows you to choose the temperature that would normally be displayed on the display. You can select between:
[,DIF]– T1-T2 Differential. Shows how many degrees is the difference between the solar collector (T1) and the pool or thermal reservoir (T2).[,,T1]– Temperature of collectors (T1).[,,T2]– Temperature of pool/thermal reservoir (T2).
[,F02] – Differential (T1-T2) to turn on the pump:Allows you to configure the temperature difference between the solar collector and the pool / thermal reservoir to trigger the circulation pump. As the collectors receive energy, the T1 sensor temperature increases when this temperature is above a certain value of the T2 sensor temperature, the pump is turned on and circulates the heated water, storing it in the reservoir.
[,F03] – Differential (T1-T2) to turn off the pump:Allows you to configure the temperature difference between the solar collector and the pool / thermal reservoir to turn off the circulation pump. With the pump on, the temperature difference between the collector and the reservoir (T1-T2) tends to decrease. When this value falls to a certain value, the pump is turned off, stopping the water flow.
[,F04]– Antifreeze temperature (T1) to turn on the pump:When the temperature of collectors (T1) is too low (ex.: winter nights) the pump is turned on, depending on the temperature set this parameter to prevent the water from freezing in the solar collector and damaging them. The hysteresis of this control is fixed and set at 2.0ºC. To disable this function moves the setting to the minimum until [,,no] appears.
[,F05] – Minimum time of antifreeze:This minimum time of pump on serves as security to ensure that water passes by all collectors. Even if the temperature of T1 sensor exceeds the antifreeze temperature (parameter [,F04]), the controller regards the time set in this parameter. This function is widely used in large projects by the amount of installed plates. To disable this function moves the setting to the minimum until [,,no]appears.
[,F06]– Overheating temperature (T1) to turn off the pump:When the temperature in the collector (T1) is above the value set in this parameter, the pump is turned off to prevent the heated water circulating through the pipes and damaging them, if PVC pipes are used for example. The hysteresis of this control is fixed and set at 2.0ºC.
[,F07] – Cooling (T2):Aims to cool the pool / thermal reservoir at night when the heating temperature ([temp] parameter) is exceeded and the difference between the collector (T1) and reservoir (T2) reaches -4.0°C (fixed). The pump is then turned on, using the collector as a radiator to cool the pool water. When the differential (T1-T2) is less than -2,0ºC (fixed) or temperature (T2) falls below the heating temperature of the reservoir ([temp] parameter) the pump is switched off.
[,F08] – Vacuum tube function:When this feature is enabled, drives the pump for 20 seconds (fixed) every 30 minutes (fixed) that the pump is switched off, while the collector temperature (T1) is above 20.0°C (fixed) and the temperature differential (T1-T2) is positive.There are models of vacuum tube collectors that do not allow direct measurement of the collector temperature, for lack of foresight for immersion sensors.
For a correct measurement of the water temperature at the outlet of the collector is necessary that a minimum water flow occurs. For this, the solar circuit must activate the pump at regular intervals, so that heated water from the collector reaches the sensor T1.Note: The controller prioritizes the protection settings (overheating), ignoring the function of the vacuum tube, upon the occurrence thereof.
[,F09] – Hysteresis of heating temperature of pool / reservoir (T2) [temp] parameter):If the pump is stopped by heating of the reservoir ([temp]), using this function you can define a temperature range within which the pump will remain off.For example: If adjusted [temp]=[,30.0]and [,F09]=[,,1.0], pool / thermal reservoir heating will turn off when the temperature of the T2 sensor reaches 30.0°C, and again just calling to heat when it drops below 29.0°C (30.0 - 1.0 = 29.0).
[,F10]– Offset of T1 sensor indication:[,F11]– Offset of T2 sensor indication:To compensate possible misreading of T1 (collector) and T2 (reservoir) sensors from sensor replacement or modification of cable length.
[,F12] – Time to lock functions:Sets the time that must be held down the increment key to lock / unlock the parameter changes. For further information see section 5.5 - Lock of Functions To disable this function moves the setting to the minimum until [,,no] appears.
[,F13] – Display backlight intensity:Sets the backlight intensity of the display to set its contrast.
