The factory setting is 10 °C that disables this feature. User can
change this set point from –10 to + 90:
•
Use –10.0 to 9.9 for frost protection in sunbelt regions
•
Use 10.1 to 90 to permit start-up operation
Heat Extraction (FN 2) – While the tank temperature is higher
than (SX), the solar pump runs until the tank temperature drops
below the maximum tank temperature (SX). This feature avoids
overheating and pre-mature temperature safety valve operation.
It can happen only if hot water consumption is below the system
capacity such as holidays or low hot water usage.
Collector Cooling Function (FN 3) - When the maximum tank
temperature (SX) is reached, the solar pump A1 (R1) stops. The
collector temperature now rises to the maximum collector
temperature (CX). At this temperature the solar pump starts
again to extract heat from the collector. The tank temperature
may increase (SX) - but only up to 90 °C (system overheating
safety shutdown). The solar pump stops if the tank temperature
approaches 90 °C. It runs again to reduce the tank temperature
if the collector temperature is at least 5K below the tank
temperature.
Thermostat Function (TT) – The USDT 3000 is equipped with
a 2nd relay (R2) and a 3rd temperature sensor input (S3, e.g.
TT measures the upper tank temperature). It can be used for the
tank temperature monitoring and safeguarding. It works
independently from the solar operation. The relay (R2)
operations are programmed by switch-on temperature (TO) and
switch-off temperature (TF). They must be programmed in the
corresponding windows. For example, it can be used to divert
the collected energy to another user after reaching the desired
tank temperature. TO and TF are disabled by setting them to 40
°C at the factory:
•
TO = TF (R2) relay is energized only if the maximum
tank temperature is reached
•
TO > TF to be used to divert the surplus heat
•
TO < TF to be used with an auxiliary heating system
