How do you test a pool heater temperature sensor?
The sensor can be tested with a multimeter. It should read 10,000 ohms at 77F (25C) degrees. You can lookup other test values in the Temperature vs Resistance Conversion Chart for 10k Thermistors.
Where is the pool water sensor located?
The existing water sensor is located between the filter pump and the filter. Remove the sensor.
How do I calibrate my Pentair easy touch?
In the EasyTouch manual, it says to put the EasyTouch into Service mode, press the Filter Pump button, and then go to Settings->Calibration to calibrate the sensors.
How do you calibrate a pool heater?
You can reset a pool heater in two ways, depending on your purpose….How to reset the circuit breaker:
- Unplug all appliances and devices connected to the circuit.
- Reset the breaker by switching it off and then turn it on again.
- Wait a few minutes for it to restore power before plugging everything back.
How do you calibrate a pool thermometer?
- HOW TO CALIBRATE. A THERMOMETER.
- Fill a large container with crushed ice. Add clean tap water until the container is full. Stir the mixture well.
- Thermometers should be calibrated regularly to make sure the readings are correct. The ice-point method is the most widely used method to calibrate a thermometer.
What does a thermistor do in a pool heater?
An electronic temperature sensing thermistor in the manifold adapter inlet controls the heater operation. When the inlet water temperature drops below the temperature set on the operating control, the burner controller supplies power to the combustion air blower through a series of safety interlocks.
How do you adjust the temperature on a Pentair pool heater?
Operating the Heater Heating the Pool or Spa (Press the HEATER OFF button to turn OFF the heater). Press POOL/SPA to select either Pool or Spa. The display shows the current set point and water temperature. Press Up/Down to increase or decrease water set point temperature.
What should I look for in a sensor?
Sensor selection criteria include temperature, size, protection class, and whether the sensor requires a discrete or analog input. Also consider sensor repetition accuracy, sensor response speed, and sensing range.
How do you test a hot tub sensor?
Testing Spa Temperature Sensors
- Shut off all power to the spa at the breaker and spa pack.
- Set your Ohm meter to the 20K setting.
- Locate the wire ends and remove the plug from the board.
- Place your meter leads onto the green and red wire.
- Compare readings to Thermistor Resistance vs. Temperature Chart.
