Analog Differential Controller - Thermomax Technologies

• Collector sensor (red cable with protective terminal box): Insert the sensor jacket into athermowell (sensor pocket), or strap it to the collector outlet pipe (flat plat collectors) that projectsfrom the collector housing. The best practice is to install a suitable sensor pocket into a T-pieceon the collector return outlet, to house the collector sensor. Protect sensor cable from UV andmoisture.• Storage tank installation (white cable): The sensor required for the solar loop is installedin the lower part of the storage tank. If there is no provision for a tank sensor, it is advisable topush the sensor beneath the insulation – keeping it close to the inner tank wall at the desired tanklocation.• Pool sensor installation: Place a heat conductive T-piece on the suction line directly at thepool outlet and screw in the sensor with an immersion sleeve (check corrosion resistance of thematerial used). Another possibility would be to attach the sensor at the same place with clips oradhesive tape, using appropriate thermal insulation against environmental influences.• Sensor cable extension: Sensor cables (22/4 AWG telephone cable) can be extended upto 150 ft. A connection between the sensor and extension can be established as follows:Cut supplied heat shrinkable tubing to desired length (about ½ ”). Slide tubing over one end ofwire to be sliced after removing enough outer insulation to accept the tubing. Then splice wireand slide tubing over the splice. Heat gently all around until tubing shrinks tight.Slide larger tubing (about ¾ “) over the entire completed splice. Heat gently all around until tubingshrinks tight. This connection can then be drawn gently into the pipe work. You need only twowires for sensor cable; the other two wires are spare wires. Do not overheat tubing! Remove heatas soon as tubing shrinks tight, as material will continue to shrink. With flame source, use evenback and forth motion all around tubing. A heat gun may be used, if available. Let tubing cool formaximum strength.C ontroller unit installation: For viewing comfort, the controller unit should bepositioned at eye level. It is always good practice to keep electronic equipment awayfrom cold, and heat, as extremes of temperature may reduce the lifetime of the device. It is alsogood practice to keep electronic equipment away from heavy electrical loads, switches orcontactors as these may cause electrical and electromagnetic interference when switched on oroff.Base of the unit to be mounted at the eye-level and wired as shown above4
