Heliotrope Sensor Package
The sensor package includes
a pool water sensor to measure the temperature of the pool water and a solar
roof sensor to measure solar heat on roof.
Product
Benefits:
•
Maximizes pool water temperature
Pool Water Sensor
This extra durable
and virtually indestructible stainless steel sensor truly guarantees years of
corrosion resistant performance. The sensor is wired into the system and signals
the controller unit with readings on the pool water temperature.
Product Applications:
• Measure temperature of the pool water
• Used in conjunction
with the Heliotrope HelioMatic Solar Pool Control Unit - Model: HM
• Used as a replacement for the Heliotrope HelioMatic Solar
Pool Control Package #1 - Model: HM-PKG
• Can be used with any Solar
Control unit that requires 10K sensors
Product
Features:
•
Stainless steel construction for extreme durability
• One year factory
warranty
The pool water sensor is attached to the PVC
pipe; this requires drilling a hole in the PVC pipe, and using the stainless
steel hose clamp to secure the sensor in place.
Solar Roof Sensor
The AS-2-10 is an
all-aluminum sensor block, designed to both quickly and precisely determine
solar radiation [sun's rays], and then simulate the internal water temperature
of the collector panels caused by the solar absorption. The sensor is placed in
direct sunlight and mounted to the roof using a screw or adhesive.
The sensor instantly signals the controller unit, which
sends the required command to the 3-Way FloVerter Valve.
The greater
surface area of the AS-2-10, combined with the superior conductivity
characteristics of aluminum enable the sensor to detect the sun's rays sooner,
plus detect when the right amount of solar energy is available.
It also reacts to cloudy conditions and the setting sun more rapidly than
other sensors on the market today, thus creating greater heat flow precisely
during the critical "solar window" period and avoiding heat loss by not
circulating when heat could be lost through reverse process - resulting in a
much warmer pool, and a longer more pleasurable swimming experience!
Product Applications:
• Used to measure solar heat on roof

Sensor - Installation Instructions:
Install black aluminum sensor where it
will receive sunlight similar to the solar collectors. Use a cable clamp and TEK
screw to mount [not included]. The cable clamp serves as a strain relief for the
cable wires.
Install stainless steel drill-in
sensor into 1-1/2” or 2” pipe to sense pool water temperature. Drill 5/16”
diameter hole into pipe and install by using stainless steel clamp. Wires go
through the hole punched into the clamp. This sensor goes into pipe ahead of the
solar collector, usually near the pump.
Use 3M Scotchlok connectors [part
number UY-2] for connecting the sensor leads to your interconnecting cable. Tie
a knot with the cable wires and the sensor leads to function as a strain relief.
Wire ends must not be stripped. Insert the insulated wire ends into the UY-2 and
with pliers, press the round disc into place, locking the connection. Note that
UY-2 is an improved connector over the UY because it makes a double contact with
the wires and also accommodates larger
wires.

Solar Sensor application troubleshooting tips:
Most well known brand controllers incorporate the use of 10k
sensors. Some lesser known brands used 3k sensors. All GoldLine
and Heliomatic controls use of 10k sensors.
To determine the type of sensor, the resistance must be measured
in ohms
using a volt/ohm meter when the sensor is at 77 degrees F.
10k measures
10,000 ohms and 3k measures 3,000 ohms.
As the temperature goes up, the
resistance goes down.
Resistance can be checked at any temperature, and
then
convert the ohm reading measured to the temperature equivalent
by
using the conversion chart.
