Topsflo TD5 Installation & Operating Instructions

Solar Powered DC Circulation Pump
Model TD5
Installation & Operating Instructions

General Information

This pump has been designed to provide versatility and
performance not available in any other high temperature DC
operated pump. It can be powered from any fixed (6V - 24V)
source or directly from a PV Solar Panel. The power level
can be manually selected or the pump can automatically
optimize power draw from a PV panel for maximum flow rate
using advanced MPPT (maximum power point tracking)
technology.
When powered from fixed sources it is suitable for a host of
applications in cars, boats, and RV's that require high
temperature and pressure capability. In Solar Water Heating
systems this pump can be connected directly to a PV panel
eliminating the need for any controllers and sensors.

Built-In Protective Functions

Drive Circuitry will sense dry operation and shut down to
•
prevent damage
Will slow operation or stop completely when an
•
overtemperature condition is detected. This can arise
due to excessive fluid temperature or excessive ambient
temperatures. The pump will automatically recover
when temperatures return to a safe level.
Protected against overload conditions, such as can
•
arise if the impeller is stuck due to debris.
Will detect overvoltage condition and shut down when
•
voltage exceeds 28V. Will recover automatically when
voltage falls below threshhold.
