Apricus Solar Collector Installation & Operation Manual - USANOTICE1. The controller will start in OFF mode. Pumps and valve will not operate until OperationMode is changed to Automatic.2. Do not remove the SD Card from the controller without first turning the SD Card functionOFF.b) Basic Controller Settings: Depending on the system configuration the controller settings may beadjusted. The following table provides the recommended values for the most basic functions that will beused in a closed loop system. A complete list of all controller functions is presented in section 6.6, andsuggested settings for each system type are presented in system schematics in the separate document“Apricus_Nth_American_Systems_Schematics”Function1.3.1. System 1 Choose System 1Description1.13. US Version °Sets units to F, Btu and US Gallons1.14. Pump P1 Set to PhAC SC, which is variable speed pump control1.15. Pump P2 Set to No SCPh, which is not a non-variable speed pump2.1. Maxtemp tank1 Maximum allowed temperature in tank 1 (T2) during normal operation - set to°176 F2.2. dTMax tank1 Difference (&T) between collector temperature (T1) and tank1 temperature°(T2) that will automatically engage pump1. Set to 14 F2.3. dTMin tank1 Difference (&T) between collector temperature (T1) and Tank1 temperature°(T2) that will automatically disengage pump1. Set to 4 F2.10. Mintemp Collector Select the minimum collector temperature required for system start-up. Set to°85 F2.11.1. Thermostat Start When the water temp. at the location of T3 drop below this setting P3 will°start. Set to 125 F2.11.2. Hysteresis When the water temp. at the location of T3 exceeds the Start temperature°plus the Hysteresis setting, P3 will shutoff. Set to 30 F7.12. Replace Front CasePush the front case into place while making sure to feed the pump power cable through the hole into thecontroller enclosure. The casing will simply lock into place.Copyright 2011 – Apricus Inc Doc: A7-05.4.1.4-PB-1.9 Page 70 of 126
