Advanced Menu (8/14): Calibrate Water, Air and Solar Sensors<br />
The SunTouch system includes two temperature sensors for monitoring water and ambient air temperature. An<br />
additional air sensor for controlling solar heating systems can also be installed for solar systems. Generally,<br />
these sensors are accurate and do not require calibration. However, long plumbing runs and water features<br />
can cause temperatures at a body of water to be different from the temperature sensor reading. You can<br />
manually recalibrate the sensors to adjust for this. You only need to calibrate one body of water, since the<br />
temperature sensor is common to both the pool and spa.<br />
CALIBRATION<br />
Before you start, you’ll need an accurate all weather thermometer. When calibrating the air sensor, wait until<br />
the sensor is not in direct sunlight. For the air temperature sensor, make sure that the sensor is located in the<br />
shade for accurate readings.<br />
To calibrate the water temperature sensor:<br />
Main Menu 8/14<br />
Advanced<br />
Calibrate Water<br />
Temp: 72 F<br />
Calibrate Air<br />
Temp: 77 F<br />
Calibrate Solar<br />
Temp: 73 F<br />
Menu button: Select the Advanced 8/14 menu.<br />
Right button: Press the button until Calibrate Water is displayed.<br />
Up/Down buttons: To adjust the temperature use these buttons to raise or lower the<br />
water temperature to match the corresponding thermometer temperature reading.<br />
When calibrating the water sensor, first switch off the heater. Check that the “Pool”<br />
filter pump circuit is set to “ON” to switch on the pool filter pump or press the Spa<br />
button (Up button) to circulate the water. Place the thermometer in the spa or pool<br />
water. Take an accurate temperature reading.<br />
Right button: Select Calibrate Air.<br />
Up/Down buttons: To adjust the temperature use these buttons to raise or lower the<br />
water temperature to match the corresponding thermometer temperature reading.<br />
When calibrating the air sensor, place the thermometer next to the air sensor. The air<br />
sensor is normally located near or under the SunTouch enclosure, not inside the<br />
enclosure. Take an accurate temperature reading in the shade.<br />
Right button: Select Calibrate Solar.<br />
Up/Down buttons: To adjust the solar temperature use these buttons to raise or<br />
lower the water temperature to match the corresponding thermometer temperature<br />
reading. Be sure that the solar sensor is in the sun for accurate readings.<br />
Left button: Press the Left button to return to the main status screen.<br />
