rost and overheating protections - Pump operation can be manipulated by the user in
both collector stagnation and frost conditions. This set-up is possible in System Guard,
SGUARD, Men domain.
Overheating protection (CET) – The Circulation pump may not be powerful enough to circulate
the heat transfer fluid in the solar loop with air pockets. User can program the pump to stop at a
desired maximum collector temperature, shown by
? symbol, to protect the pump. USDT 2004
will take over the normal operation after the temperature decreases to an acceptable working
temperature, shown as
=. This feature (ON) can be disabled by user to (OFF). Factory setting
is 260
o
F to stop the pump. The pump starts again at 230
o
F. Customer in field can change these
settings.
Frost Protection – Frost protection in the sun-belt region is provided by circulating water in the
solar loop when freezing conditions exist. Regardless of the temperature difference ? T, the
circulation pump runs when the collector temperature is below a programmable minimum
temperature, shown by
= symbol. The pump stops as soon as the temperature in the solar loop
reaches a safe region programmed by the
? symbol. This feature is disabled at the factory and
displayed as (OFF).
min
= Pump runs below this temperature (factory setting 35 F)
min
? Pump stops above this temperature (factory setting 39 F)
tart functions - The Circulation pump can be programmed to start on a low insolation
level. The Start function feature is useful when heat transferred to the collector sensor is
not fast enough for an early start; especially when the collectors are flat mounted.
The enabled start function runs the pump at a given solar radiation or programmed temperature
difference. The feature is disabled at the factory.
