Solar - the valve operates when the filter pump is running and solar heat is available and the water is less than the desired temperature setting. Solar heating must be enabled in the "Solar Config. menu for proper operation to occur. In-Floor Cleaner - the valve switches the water returning to the pool between the in-floor cleaner and the normal return jets which facilitate efficient surface skimming. The valve will operate the in-floor cleaner for the first half of each clock hour and then switch to the jets/ skimming for the last half of the hour. Valve3=Filter - the valve operates whenever the Filter relay is on. Valve3=Lights - the valve operates whenever the Lights relay is on. Valve3=Aux1 - the valve operates whenever the Aux1 relay is on. Valve3=Aux2 - the valve operates whenever the Aux2 relay is on. Valve3 Interlock If "Enabled", this feature will override the function (timeclock or in-floor cleaner) selected above and turn the valve off when: the filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of filter pump operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), or for the first 3 minutes after solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged). Interlock is not available for solar or super chlorinate. Valve3 Freeze Protection This function protects the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage. If Freeze Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature falls sensor falls below the selected freeze temperature threshold, the ECOMMAND 4 will turn on the valve to allow circulation of the water. IMPORTANT: this only enables operation of the valve3 output during freeze--see the "Filter Pump Config." menu to enable freeze protection for the main circulation system. Valve3 Pump Speed This is the speed of the pump when the Valve3 output is on. The choices are the Settings Menu speed and a speed that is unique to the Valve3 output only. The default selection is "Settings Menu". This is the speed of the pump that has been selected in the Settings Menu for normal filter operation. If an alternate speed is desired when the Valve3 output is on, push "+" or "-" and select from "Lowest" to "Highest" in 5% increments. 20

Valve3 Function
Timeclock (default)
– the valve turns on/off at the times set for the valve3 timeclock in the
Timers Menu (see Operations Manual).
Solar
– the valve operates when the filter pump is running
and solar heat is available
and the
water is less than the desired temperature setting.
Solar heating must be enabled in the
“Solar Config. menu for proper operation to occur.
In-Floor Cleaner
– the valve switches the water returning to the pool between the in-floor
cleaner and the normal return jets which facilitate efficient surface skimming.
The valve will
operate the in-floor cleaner for the first half of each clock hour and then switch to the jets/
skimming for the last half of the hour.
Valve3=Filter
– the valve operates whenever the Filter relay is on.
Valve3=Lights
– the valve operates whenever the Lights relay is on.
Valve3=Aux1
– the valve operates whenever the Aux1 relay is on.
Valve3=Aux2
– the valve operates whenever the Aux2 relay is on.
Valve3 Interlock
If “Enabled”, this feature will override the function (timeclock or in-floor cleaner) selected
above and turn the valve off when:
the filter pump is off, first 3 minutes of filter pump
operation (allows the pump to prime and get water flowing), or for the first 3 minutes after
solar turns on (allows air in the solar panels to be purged).
Interlock is not available for solar
or super chlorinate.
Valve3 Freeze Protection
This function protects the pool and plumbed equipment against freeze damage.
If Freeze
Protection is enabled and the AIR temperature falls sensor falls below the selected freeze
temperature threshold, the ECOMMAND 4 will turn on the valve to allow circulation of the
water.
IMPORTANT:
this only enables operation of the valve3 output during freeze--see the
“Filter Pump Config.” menu to enable freeze protection for the main circulation system.
Valve3 Pump Speed
This is the speed of the pump when the Valve3 output is on.
The choices are the Settings
Menu speed and a speed that is unique to the Valve3 output only.
The default selection is
“Settings Menu”.
This is the speed of the pump that has been selected in the Settings Menu
for normal filter operation. If an alternate speed is desired when the Valve3 output is on, push
“+” or “-” and select from “Lowest” to “Highest” in 5% increments.
