l Collector sensor (red cable with protective terminal box): Either push into a thermowell, (sensor pocket), which is soldered or riveted directly to the manifold (vacuum tubes). Alternately, strap the sensor to the collector outlet pipe or the absorber (flat plate collectors) that projects from the collector housing. Ideally, house the collector sensor (encased in a suitable sensor pocket) into a T-piece on the collector return outlet. Protect the sensor cable from UV and moisture.

Undo the screw at the top of the housing. The control electronics are mounted on the enclosure cover. The controller enclosure can be screwed to the wall with cable entry grommets pointed downwards. Use the supplied plastic bridges to secure power and sensor cables.

ower Connections: A small blade screwdriver may be used to fasten miniaturized P terminal block screws while the corresponding wire is inserted. NOTE 1: Always disconnect the controller from power supply before opening the housing. NOTE 2: The controller should be properly grounded. Flexible wires, 18/3 AWG (gauge/conductor) simplify connection to the terminals. The power terminal block will accommodate wire sizes to 14 AWG. All other connections should be secured and adequa

roubleshooting T In general, all of the settings in the menus Par and Men and the terminal should first be checked if there is a malfunction. Malfunction, but "realistic" temperature values: • Check program number. It should be “0” (zero) for 2004B unit. • Check the switch-on and switch-off thresholds and the set differential temperatures, page 8. Have the thermostat and differential thresholds already been reached? • Can the pump (output) be switched on and off in manual mode? I
