Digital control unit for thermal solar systems

S303 TECHNICAL DATA SHEET - 02/2022 - ENG

Description
The digital control unit S303 is a centralized control unit for
thermal solar panels. Equipped with 3 relay outputs (2 for loads
+ 1 for alarm), PWM output, 0..10V output and 3 inputs (sensors),
can configure and manage up to 6 different types of solar
systems. When a specific installation is selected, the control unit
automatically manages the outputs and inputs used to control
the valves, the pumps, the integrative sources and the probes
used in the type of installation selected.
Moreover on the backlit LCD display it is possible to visualize
the hydraulic diagram of the installation set up, the state
of the outputs, the probes as well as several other data and
informations. Control unit supplied with 2 NTC probes.
