Toggling Between Heating
and Cooling Mode
The unit will default to the heating
mode. If the cooling mode is desired,
press the SET button until the H-C screen
is displayed. Then press the arrow
buttons until “COL” is displayed on the
screen. This puts the unit into cooling
mode. The water temperature set point
will now be the water temperature that
the unit is cooling the water to. When
the unit is in cooling mode, the screen
will flash between the current water
temperature and “COL” to remind the
user that cooling mode is activated.
Defrost Cycle
Your AquaPRO
®
h/c unit is capable of
keeping your pool warm in very cool
temperatures. Most pool heaters will
not operate below 50°F. Your h/c unit
will work down to 38°F by utilizing a
“defrost cycle”. It does this
automatically by sensing the coolant
temperature and reversing operation
for 2 minutes to defrost the evaporator
coil and will resume heating function
after defrosting the evaporator coil.
This section allows you to run the heat
pump at set intervals during the day. If
you have a time clock, and would like to
use it please refer to the Time Clock
Override section.
For the TCE feature to work, your pool
pump must be wired to the heat pump
See figure 7 for wiring the TCE feature
•
This unit is prepared at the factory
with the TCE feature installed, but
set to the “off” position in the “FIL”
mode. You will need to set the
hours of run time for the pump and
filter system. See “activating and
setting system run time” below.
•
The function of the TCE is done through
a timing sequence of 6 periods per
24 hours. You select the hours for your
required filter pump run time, and the
heater takes care of the rest. It does this
by dividing the system run time equally
over the 6 periods, turning the pump on
for 1/6th of the specified run time and
off the remainder of the period unless
additional heating is required. The
heater will always operate the system
on a daily basis for the amount of run
time you have selected. The timing
sequence begins at the initial start up.
•
If your pool is at or above the desired
operating temperature, the heater will
run the system the desired hours each
day and spread the time out evenly
between the 6 periods. This makes for
better filter operation and allows the
heater to update the water
temperature 6 times per day.
•
If your pool needs heat, the heater will
continue to run the system until the
desired temperature is met. If the
amount of run time exceeds a period’s
run time, the excess time will be
subtracted from the next run period(s).
Please note that on cold and / or windy
days, the unit could run for long times
to generate and maintain the desired
pool temperature. Please see the
“application” section about “pool
blankets” to help maintain your pool’s
temperature.
•
The timing function built into the TCE
will always run the heat pump for
15 minutes every 4 hours to determine if
more heat is needed to maintain the
pool’s desired temperature - even if all
of the available run time was used in
previous cycles. This provides a couple of
added benefits. Pools will lose most of
their heat at night if left uncovered,
however, since the unit is checking for
and adding heat when needed, it
prevents long recovery times when
compared to non-TCE units. The other
benefit is that some states and electric
utility companies offer a discount for
off-peak usage of electricity. Please
contact your electricity provider if you
have questions.
•
Example of TCE operation – you require
the system to run for 12 hours to meet
your pool filtering needs. This means for
each of the 6 periods, the heater will
run the system for 2 hours and then
turn off for 2 hours. If the system
needed to run for 3 hours in one of the
periods to reach the desired pool
temperature, the next period would be
1 hour on and 3 hours off unless
additional heating is needed. The cycle
continues for 6 periods and renews at
the end of each 24 hours. Please call

Activating and Setting System Run
Time - TCE Operation
•
To set the run time of the system, push
the “SET” button repeatedly until “FIL”
displays. Then using the “up” and
“down” arrows, you can select how
many total hours a day you want the
system to run for your pump and
filtration needs. The range of hours is
“off” to 2, 3, 4,… up to 23 hours to
“on”. As described before, the run time
will then be calculated and spread out
over the 6 time periods for 24 hours.
Selecting the “on” position will run the
pump and filter system continuously.
The unit leaves the factory with the
“FIL” mode set to “OFF”.
Time Clock Override
(TCO) Operation
All wiring
and
electrical connections must be performed
by a qualified electrician. Installation
must be in accordance with local and
national codes.
This section allows you the option of
using an existing time clock with the
heat pump. If you do not have a time
clock, please refer back to the Time Clock
Eliminator section.
The pump must be connected to the heat
pump and also the time clock for the Time
Clock Override feature to work correctly.
See figure 8 for the optional TCO wiring
schematic and electrical connections.
PRO1100e TCE
and PRO1300 TCE
Selecting
Functionality of Unit
This unit is capable of operating as a Time
Clock Override (TCO) or as the Time Clock
Eliminator (TCE). If you already have a
time clock on your swimming pool and
would like to maintain its normal
operation with the added benefit of a
heat pump time clock override – please
review the section for the Time Clock
Override. If you do not own a time clock
for your pool system - please review the
section for the Time Clock Eliminator.
Time Clock Eliminator
(TCE) Operation
Please read the functions of this feature
carefully.
