    Default question re: autopilot temp comp

    would this be a normal function of the autopilot that i had the setting at power level 1 and 50%..the pool went from 80 yesterday morning to 77 today (done running heater aside from if it freezes) and the autopilot i noticed this morning is one led lower than the 50% and i hadn't touched it.

    so my guess is that it was done by the autopilot to temp compensate? also, if that is the case, does it compensate for temp rises up as well as down? and what is the approximate variance of temp that causes the autopilot to do so..(i.e. 3 degrees?)

    Tenax,

    That's correct. The temp factor is approximately every 5 degrees. But this is not an exact trigger point. At 55 degrees or colder, it will fix itself to 1%, or with the Soft Touch, the bottom LED, and cannot be increased. This is to protect the cell life.
