2.0 INSTALLATION & OPERATION
2.1 CONTROLLER MOUNTING
2.1.1 Find a suitable location to mount the control box.
2.1.2 The controller should be no closer than 3m from the pool edge and a minimum 600mm
above ground. The power cable is 1.8m long and should be plugged directly into a general
power outlet. Do not use an extension lead.
2.1.3 Fix the mounting bracket to a solid structure with the screw and wall plug kit provided.
Slide the controller on, locking it into place. Adjust the screws on the back of the unit to
ensure a snug fit.
2.2 PUMP CONNECTION
2.2.1 The circulation pump plugs into the 240V socket (labelled PUMP).
2.2.2 The maximum load is 9.98 AMPS at 2395W.
2.3 HEATER CONNECTION
2.3.1 Connect the Heater Output cable from the H5RO-S controller output (labelled HEATER)
to the Heat Demand Contact located on the heater unit.
2.3.2 Check with the heater manufacturer for correct interlocking procedure.
2.3.3 The Heater Output is for low-voltage (MAX 24V at 1 AMPS) switching only.
2.3.4 Note: If the heater’s external switching circuit is greater than 24V AC, an external relay kit
(can be purchased separately) is to be installed by a licensed electrician.
2.3.5 Note: Damage caused by incorrect connections will void warranties.
2.4 HEAT DEMAND
2.4.1 As most pools are filtered for 8 hours a day, extra run times are often required to
maintain the water at the desired temperature.
2.4.2 The heater is equipped with a Heat Demand function that will assist in maintaining the
temperature of the pool by communicating to the H5RO-S.
2.4.3 The controller will power the circulation pump when heat is called for by the heater. The
heater monitors the system temperature within its defined run times. By this means, the
desired water temperature is maintained.
