Can I use the solastat 2-3 with only the roof and tank sensors available

The Senztek SolaStat 2-3 measures and compares temperatures at three sensors: ROOF, TANK, and INLET. The manual does not specify if it can function with only the ROOF and TANK sensors, so its proper operation without the INLET sensor is uncertain.
