Page 4 SYMBOLS USED When handling the differential temperature controller smart Sol nano and the entire plant, please make sure that the following safety provisions in the Assembly and Operating Instructions are complied with! Danger! Immediate danger for assets, life and limb!
Important! The fitter installing the controller must inform the plant operator about operation, functioning and the method of action of the smart Sol nano! Keep these Assembly and Operating Instructions and all reference documents so that they are available if required.
Page 6 DESCRIPTION The differential temperature controller smart Sol nano is an independent electronic controller for surface-mounting which is used for the control of solar thermal plants. The controller is equipped with a robust three-part plastic housing which can only be opened by means of tools (screw driver PH2).
The fitter explains all the relevant functions to the operator. For operation, it is essential that the housing is closed and free of damage. Scope of supplies 1 Differential temperature controller smart Sol nano 1 Instruction manual Differential temperature controller smart Sol nano...
