U SDT 2004 is a powerful temperature differential control unit. It has *two programs and may be used in a wide range of applications:

PROGRAM 0 – This program is USDT 2004's basic program. Set at the factory, it uses two sensors to control a simple solar water heating system.

PROGRAM 1- This program allows the user to customize USDT 2004 for applications where a third sensor is required. With this program you may, for example, measure the flow rate or the temperature of the storage tank (T3, top of the tank).

*USDT 2004 has additional programs available for a wide variety of advanced applications, these programs are not supported at this time.

The control unit has the following functions:

2 inputs for temperature sensors (PROGRAM 0)

1 input for flow rate measurement or additional temperature sensor (PROGRAM 1)

BTU meter capability for constant flow rate or with a flow meter

Adjustable hysteresises dependant on temperature

Adjustable (-3 o F to 41 o F) frost protection

Adjustable (200 o F to 299 o F) overheating protection

Adjustable (4.1 o F to 99 o F) temperature difference ?T

Manual override of pump for system testing

Digital display of all parameters

System status and diagnostic displays

Program 0 – Two Sensor Operation (Factory Setting)

Program 0 monitors the collector temperature (T1, at S1) and the return temperature (T2, at S2 , bottom of the storage tank). The solar loop circulation pump runs while the collector temperature

exceeds the return temperature by an adjustable

S1

 

temperature difference diff. To avoid overheating, the

 

circulation pump stops if the return temperature (T2)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

reaches the adjustable high limit (TMAX) temperature. The

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

temperature hysteresis (a lagging in the set -point) may

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

over-ride diff to avoid pump cycling.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The pump A1 runs only when the temperature at the

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

collector sensor location S1 is higher than the return

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

temperature at location S2 by at least diff (?T). The pump

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

stops if diff is less than the preset value or, when the

 

 

 

A1 S2

 

 

temperature at location S2 has reached the TMAX :

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

A1 (ON) only when S1 > (S2 + diff) & S2 < T max
