REGTRONIC PX
5.2 115 V connectors
One mains connector is provided, plus a
total of 6 115 V/50-60 Hz outputs. Bear in mind the following points concerning
the 115 V connectors:
If the control unit is wired directly into
the mains, it must be possible to
separate from power mains through a
switch external to the unit.
If the unit is connected using a cable
and grounded plug, this switch is not
necessary.
i
The neutral lead terminals (N) are
connected electrically and are not
switched!
i
All switched outputs (A1 to A6) are
electronic 115 V AC make contacts. If
you need potential-free contacts, then
suitable accessory parts can be
supplied.
i
Depending on which functional layout is
used, all outputs can be applied as
switched outputs or – using block
modulation – as pump power controls.
i
All output activity is monitored
electronically. A functional check is
made automatically once a day, and
can also be started manually from the
Manual Operation menu.
i
If the functional check fails, then this will
close a potential-free contact (A7).
5.3 Connecting sensors
The control unit works with high-precision platinum PT1000 temperature sensors. Between 2
and 10 sensors will be needed, depending on the system setup and functional layout. In some
layouts the use of radiation sensors and flow transmitters will also be required. Inputs 1 to 7 are
suitable for temperature sensors. Inputs 8 to 10 are universal inputs, which can be used for
temperature sensors, radiation sensors or digital inputs.
Temperature sensor installation /
cabling:
§Mount the sensors in the corresponding
places on the collector and storage
tank. When doing so, ensure good
temperature transfer, using heat-
conductive paste if necessary.
§The temperature sensor cabling can be
extended if required. Cross-sections
required: lengths up to 49ft., 2 x 0.5
mm²; AWG22 lengths up to 164ft., 2 x
0.75 mm², AWG20. Use shielded
extension cables for long connections
(e.g. to collector).
Do not insert shielded cable on the
sensor side – clip it and strip it! The
shield must be grounded (PE).
§Temperature sensors are connected
according to the system setup. You do
not need to observe polarity for the two
wires when cabling temperature
sensors.
When laying sensor cabling, keep it
away from 115 V cables: these can be a
source of electrical interference under
adverse conditions. Keep cabling at
least 6” apart.
5.4 Surge protection module
The control unit is provided with fine-level
surge protection for all sensor inputs. As a
rule, you will not need to take additional
precautions for interior sensors.
However, we recommend additional
protection for collector sensors and exterior
sensors (sensor connection box with surge
protection). Exterior protective devices must
not contain any additional capacitors, as
these may distort measurement readings.
