Place solar temperature sensors correctly
Find the right place for the SOLAR-RIPP solar sensor 🔎 The original SOLAR-RIPP solar controller works with at least two temperature sensors. In this article we explain how to install the outdoor or solar sensor. This sensor is particularly important for the function of the solar controller because it detects and measures whether the sun is shining or not. ☀️ In the solar controller, the value of the solar sensor is compared with the current pool water temperature to decide whether the solar system should run or not. The solar controller does all of this completely independently❗ Please mount the solar sensor on the outside of the outlet manifold of the RIPPultimate solar absorber using a UV-resistant cable tie. The position should be chosen so that the location is not shaded by neighboring houses or trees. 🌳 For the best results, the sensor should be able to be exposed to the sun from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. From our many years of experience, this measuring method has proven to be very effective and is preferable to methods that measure inside the collector. This compensates for various measurement errors and the system starts earlier in the morning because the entire water content does not have to be heated first. 💧This method also offers 100% security with regard to possible sealing problems. Now attach the temperature sensor to the outside of the outlet collector pipe and enjoy the solar-heated water in your pool!
