1. GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The HP727 is a powerful microcomputer control designed for use in an outdoor swimming pool heatpump. The control features 3
digit temperature display and 3 push button keys. All adjustments are performed by simple key operations. The HP727 controls the
main compressor contactor, the 3 evaporator fan speeds, and the water circulating pump. The HP727 monitors both evaporator and
water temperature using precise thermistor sensors for superior control.
The control features full diagnostics messages, simplifying both installation and service. The HP727 is an excellent alternative to
electromechanical controls offering improved water temperature control accuracy, accurate defrost control, anti-short cycle timer,
and solid-state reliability all in a single package.
The HP727 features three speeds fan motor control for optimum efficiency and minimum acoustic noise.
All calibration and user parameters are stored in an EEPROM memory. There are no trimmer potentiometer adjustments. All
adjustments including sensor calibrations are done through the front panel. The HP727 features full self-test diagnostic capability
and sensor re-calibration if needed.
The HP727 offers maximum corrosion and vibration protection. All printed circuit board interconnections are soldered. The main
PCB is dipped in silicone. This assures maximum board protection even underneath the PCB components, against humidity, air
pollutants, chlorine vapors and vibrations.
