S ensor Designation – USDT 2004 accepts two different sensor types or a reference value . User can program a constant reference temperature instead of a sensor output. The factory-preset sensor is the thermistor (KTY 10) type. The KTY 10 tank sensor,

white wire, should be used in a conditioned environment and will not be permanently damaged up to 360 oF.

Selection:

S1 Sensor 1 (collector outlet) selection

S2 Sensor 2 (collector inlet) selection

S3 Sensor 3 (tank) selection

Designation:

PT PT 1000 sensor (1000 O at 0 oC, not available in US market)

KTY Thermistor sensor (2000 O at 25 o C)

250250 oF reference temperature

- 4 - 4 oF reference temperature

Sensor wires can receive electromagnetic pulses, which can result in a wrong temperature reading. The USDT 2004 reads sensor values every 50 ms. It can bundle several readings and process their average.

AV 1 Sensor 1 average

AV 2 Sensor 2 average

AV 3 Sensor 3 average

The numbers of samples can be programmed from 4 to 20. The impedance characteristics of sensors temperature dependencies are represented in the following table:

Frost and overheating protections - Pump operation can be manipulated by the user in both collector stagnation and frost conditions. The set-up is possible in System Guard,

SGUARD, domain.

Overheating protection – 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. The USDT 2004 will take over the normal operation after the temperature decreases to an acceptable working temperature, shown as =. This feature is disabled at 299 oF set point.

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
