circulation pump runs when the collector temperature is below a programmable minimum
temperature, shown by
= symbol. The pump stops as soon as the temperature in the solar loop
reaches a safe region programmed by the
? symbol. This feature is also disabled at the factory
by entering - 4

tart functions - The Circulation pump can be programmed to start on low insolation
level. The Start function feature is useful when heat transferred to the collector sensor is
not fast enough for early start; especially when the collectors are flat mounted.
The enabled start function runs the pump at a given solar radiation or programmed temperature
difference. The feature is disabled at the factory.
