PAGE 4 1. Controller Description The GH20SB Controller is a device designed and manufactured to support systems with solar collectors. The product was base on a reliable state-of-the-art microprocessor technology. The Controller is modern in its design and very easy to use as it is equipped with a user panel with a transparent keyboard and an LCD graphic display.
PAGE 5 2. Connecting External Devices The GH20SB Controller is equipped with 4 inputs enabling connection of NTC10K temperature sensors and three outputs enabling connection of external devices, pumps or three-way valves, depending on the system scheme chosen. A drawing contains a graphic presentation of the input and output marking.
