OPTIONS (continued)
3-WAY MANUAL VALVE
b)
A
CHECK
VALVE
is
optional,
but
suggested, to be installed on the return line.
This will prevent back flow to the panels, and
is also required for the
Summerization
of
the system. In some cases a check valve
can prevent losses from heat thermo
siphoning out of the pool.
c)
An
AUTOMATIC VALVE
relies on water and
panel temperature sensors to divert the
water. EnerWorks suggests the Aqua Solar
controller kit. The kit comes with a 3-port
diverter valve, actuator, control box and two
sensors. Follow manufacturer’s instructions
for installation of automatic control box,
motorized valve (actuator) and controls.
• Install the Control Box as outlined in
manufacturer’s instructions. Be sure to wire
correctly.
• The 3-port valve (diverter) is installed as above.
• Remove the locking knob and handle.
• Remove 4 screws from the valve (fit actuator on
valve to determine which screws to remove).
• Align the actuator; rotate the actuator until holes
on the actuator align with the screw holes.
• Use the 4 supplied screws to secure in place.
• Plug the actuator in the Control Box in the
FWD
VALVE
socket.
• Flick the switch to
SOLAR TEST
. Synchronize the
valve handle by flipping the toggle switch at the
bottom of the actuator between
ON 1
and
ON 2
to
rotate the handle so it points to the solar panel
feed line. See full instructions for valve actuator in
package, or visit our web site,
www.enersol.com
and look under “
System Automatic Controller
”.
d) WATER SENSOR
Install the plastic cylinder shaped sensor by
drilling a 5/16” hole into the pipe usually
between the filter and diverter valve. The
gear clamp holds the sensor in place. Two
wired connectors are supplied to connect the
sensor to two line sensor wire. The other end
is wired into the control box (pool sensor
screws).
e) PANEL SENSOR
Install the sensor on the roof or rack where it
receives sunlight similar to the solar panels.
Two wire connectors are supplied to connect
the sensor to two wire sensor cable. The
other end is wired into the Control Box (solar
sensor screws). The plastic wire protector fits
in the hole located in the bottom of the control
box.
f) VACUUM BREAKER
A vacuum breaker is not necessary, as the
Enersol Panels do not collapse when drained.
g) OHM-METER
Use an Ohm meter to check the resistance in
the sensors. The Ohms readings should
correspond with the sensor temperature. Use
the chart below to determine if the sensor is
sensing proper temperatures.
