Difference Setpoint Control 156

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. The Source Minimum and Storage 
Maximum settings turn off the relay when heat transfer is no longer desirable. Potential applications include using solar 
collectors or a wood boiler as a heat source.

Additional functions include: 

24 V (ac) OR 24 V (dc) power supply
Monitor Minimum & Maximum temperatures for Source & Storage
Displays number of running hours of the relay
Displays ΔT• hours to perform energy calculation
CSA and UL certified for use in the USA and Canada

NEW Solar Sensor 085 immersion type sensor included!
