  • Page 4 Differences between mode 1 and 2 Mode 1 The SOLiC 200 senses the power produced by the solar array, and feeds power above a pre-set threshold into the immersion heater. For example; if the house uses 500W and the solar generator is producing 700W, the SOLiC 200 will only divert the difference above the pre-set threshold.
  • Page 5 The SOLiC 200 checks itself 20 times a second, striving to keep this export amount at zero. Benefits: Good efficiency can be achieved for most homes, giving maximum flexibility with the ability to “fit and forget”.

The SOLiC 200 remains in pause mode for 30 minutes once the button has been pressed. After 30 minutes has elapsed, automatic operation will resume. To manually resume, press the pause button again.

  • Page 10 DIP switches and mode selection To operate the system in mode 2 ensure all the DIP switches are set to 0 (off). This is the normal factory delivery setting (all selector switches off). This tells the microprocessor that mode 2 has been selected. To operate the system in mode 1, any other threshold besides 0 should be chosen.
