CONTROLLER NOTES

1. Compool has a Limited Warranty on the LX220 and the product must be returned

directly to them for service or repair during this warranty period. See warranty on back of

Compool’s instructions.

2. The power-reset button protects the solar valve and control circuitry from electrical

overload situations. It is an internal circuit breaker. Check for short circuit conditions if breaker

consistently trips. Push to reset.

3. Always keep the cover to the LX220 closed to protect the electronic circuitry from

moisture and weather exposure.

4. To install the water sensor, drill a 5/16” hole in the selected location and insert the

sensor into the hole with “O” ring attached and facing pipe. Feed the sensor wires through hole in

the clamp and gently tighten clamp around pipe. Caution:Over tightening of clamp can cause

deformation of “O” ring seal. Run 22 gauge 2-conductor cable from the sensor to the low voltage

compartment of the LX220. Strip back insulation 1/4” and connect to WTRscrew terminals on

printed circuit board. Use the UY crimp connectors supplied by Compool to provide waterproof

connections between the sensor and the two-conductor cable.

5. If the “water or solar sensor service reqd” lights are on—this could mean a defective

sensor or loose wire(s) is/are present. An electrical ohmmeter should read resistance across the

sensor’s two leads. Typically 10K ohms at 68-70º F. As temperature increases, the resistance

decreases. A very hot attic may cause the sensor to only read 6K ohms [6000 ohms across the

sensor’s two leads].

6. If the “solar sensor service reqd” light is on—this could also mean that the float inside

the PCS1 has detected a condition of excess water in the base pan.
