SCU 123 Maximum tank temperature Once the adjusted maximum temperature is exceeded, the solar pump is switched off and further loading of the S MX: tank is prevented to reduce scald risk or system damage. A Maximum tank temp. fixed hysteresis of 4 °Ra [2 K] is set for the maximum tank Adjustment range: temperature.

SCU 123 Heat exchanger temperature limitation The primary loop heat exchanger temperature limitation is set to 212°F [100°C] to protect the system against over- heating. Heat exchanger antifreeze function The antifreeze function of the heat exchanger activates R2 (100%) if the heat exchanger temperature falls below 40°F [5°C].
