SOLAR SYSTEM COMPONENTS

Multi-function Solar Controller

‘Solarlogic’ is a temperature differential controller that is designed for simple operation and configuration for both standard and complex solar installations. Multi-function solar controller complete with built-in clock, the ‘Solarlogic’ links solar thermal, traditional boiler back-up and electric heater back-up. In user mode, the blue backlit screen indicates that the system is in operation. When accessed by the installer, the screen goes red. USER MODES : Standby-off, only overridden by safety functions. Maximum mode, all heating options active. Eco mode, holiday, heat dump at night to limit stagnation risk. Manual, to test operation. Boost, daily or timed boost operation. Fully programmable ‘Boost’ function allows a one hour boost, daily operation can be programmed for any period between 1 and 9 hours.

FEATURES : anti-legionella function, pump speed control, winter cold start, 3 relay switching, 3 temperature sensors, supplied with one red high temperature sensor (max 190°C) and two black normal temperature sensors (max 105°C), 6mm dia x 40mm. 13 solar system configurations, 2 cylinder control option, input for time sync to ‘off-peak’ electric tariffs, optimised back up heat - electric/central heating boiler or both, heat quantity measurement, system operating temperature readout, collector or cylinder cooling functions and high temperature protection.
