HOT SENSOR LEAD
The plug on the hot sensor lead connected to the left hand side of the solar control board, located behind the
front cover of the solar storage tank, is to be connected to the socket on the hot sensor from the solar collector.
To connect the hot sensor leads together:
•
Feed the hot sensor lead from the
solar collector through the jacket
penetration, located to the left of the
access cover of the solar storage tank
•
Connect the plug on the hot sensor
lead from the solar control board to the
socket on the hot sensor lead from the
solar collector.
•
Place the gland around the hot sensor
lead from the solar collector, no less
than 300 mm from the sensor lead
socket, close and lock the gland and
insert into the jacket penetration.
The 300 mm distance should leave
sufficient excess lead inside of the
water heater jacket.
Ensure the gland is placed on the hot
sensor lead external to the water
heater.
•
Secure the hot sensor lead to the side of the solar storage tank using the cable tie mounts provided to
prevent possible damage to the lead.
•
Secure the hot sensor lead to the accessible insulated pipe work using the cable ties provided.
