Summary of Contents for Tekmar Difference Setpoint Control 156
Page 1
06/10 The Difference Setpoint Control 156 is designed to operate an on/off pump to transfer heat from a heat source to a storage tank. The control operates based on a setpoint temperature difference (ΔT). The relay turns on when the ΔT rises above the setpoint and turns off when the ΔT falls below the setpoint less the differential.
How to Use the Data Brochure This brochure is organized into three main sections. The Display Menus section of this brochure describes the various items that are adjusted and displayed by the control. They are: 1) Sequence of Operation, 2) Installation, and The control functions of each adjustable item are described 3) Display Menus.
Sequence of Operation Powering Up the Control When the Difference Setpoint Control 156 is powered up, the software version is displayed for 2 seconds. Finally, all segments are displayed in the LCD for 2 seconds, and the control enters into the normal operating mode and by then the type number is displayed for 2 seconds.
ΔT SETPOINT The control measures the difference between the source and the storage temperatures (ΔT). When the measured ΔT is greater than the ΔT setpoint, the relay is turned on to transfer heat from the source to the storage. If the ΔT drops below the ΔT Setpoint less the ΔT Differential, the relay is turned off.
