Installation Manual

TO SET FILTER TIME SWITCH, follow instructions on the right.
The length of the daily filtration/heating cycle depends on many vari-
ables such as size, shape, and geographic location of the pool, water
chemistry, type of pool equipment, usage and season of year. If not sure,
contact your local pool service professional for advice.
TO SET CLEANER TIME SWITCH, follow instructions on the right.
NOTE: This Control is factory wired to prevent equipment damage by
allowing the Cleaner Pump to operate only when the Filter Pump is
already operating. This requires that the Cleaner Time Switch settings
(ON and OFF times) must be within the operating hours of the Filter
Pump. For example: If the Filter Pump is set to operate from 8 am to 2
pm daily, the Cleaner Pump Time Switch should be set to operate no
longer than 8:30 am to 1:30 pm.
TO SET THERMOSTAT, turn dial, pointing to desired temperature,
marked on the plate, between 32˚F and 45˚F. Again, many variables
must be considered before selecting the “turn ON” temperature of the
Filter Pump and your local pool service professional is the best source
of information. The Thermostat is factory set to turn OFF the Filter Pump
when the ambient temperature rises 5˚F above its set point.
THE FIREMAN SWITCH (Heater Protection Mechanism), if installed, is
factory set and shuts OFF the heater 20 minutes before the Time Switch
turns OFF the filter pump. The Fireman Switch requires no setting or
service.
