Pentair CP-1000 Introduction, Safety Features, Heater Protection, Pool Cleaner Protection

INTRODUCTION

The CP-1000 is an electronic control system which is designed to coordinate and operate all of the equipment associated with your spa or swimming pool.

The system is comprised of two principal components: the CP-1000 CONTROLLER which is located inside your house, and the LX-1000 POWER CENTER which is located at the pool equipment pad.

The Controller automatically controls and monitors water temperature and the timing of all the pool equipment. The Power Center provides easy maintenance for your Pool Serviceperson.

Additionally, the CP-1000 incorporatesimportant safety features which protect your pool equipment from accidental damage.

Your system may also include additional Remote Controls, solar heating, and special options which further add to the convenience, safety, and economy of operating your spa or swimming pool.

SAFETY FEATURES

HEATER PROTECTION:

A built-in electronic delay circuit automatically runs the filter pump for an additional four minutes whenever the system is turned off. This feature enables the heater to cool down, so that the heat exchanger and plumbingare not damaged from overheating.

For testing and servicing purposes, it is possible to override this delay circuit by pushing the DELAY CANCEL Button at the CP-1000 Controller.

POOL CLEANER PROTECTION:

If your system incorporatesa pool cleaner pump, it will have been plumbed downstream of the filter pump. This arrangement requires that the filter pump be running whenever the pool cleaner is on.

The CP-1000 incorporates the following protectionfeatures against possible pump damage if there is no water circulation:

1.The filter pump will automatically be activated whenever the pool cleaner is running, even if the filter has not been switched on.

2.Additionally, whenever the pool cleaner is turned on, a built-in electronic delay circuit will prevent it from running until 4 minutes have passed. This prevents the pump from possible damage caused by air which may have entered the plumbing since the system was last used.

For testing and servicing purposes, it is possible to override this delay circuit by pushing the DELAY CANCEL Button at the CP-1000 Controller.

3.If your system incorporatessolar, the pool cleaner will automatically be disabled for a period of 4 minutes whenever the solar system turns on. This protectsthe pool cleaner from possible damage caused by residual air within the solar panels.

BATTERY BACK-UP:

In case of a power failure, a long-life battery automatically maintains the program and clock functions of your Control System. This safeguards against the equipment operating erratically, once power has been restored, and also eliminatesthe need to reprogramwhenever there is a power failure.
