To install the solar sensor:
1 Mountthesensoronaatsurface,withthesameexposuretosunasthesolarcollectors
(next to the collectors is recommended) or any sunny location. Do not let the sensor touch
the panels. WARNING:DONOTDRILLHOLEANDCLAMPSENSORINTOSOLAR
PIPE.Forglazedpanels,installthesensorbetweencollectorandglazing.
2 If necessary, splice a two-conductor extension conductor to the sensor. Run two-conductor
cable between the sensor and the enclosure. Use waterproof connectors to connect the
sensor to the cable. Use twisted pair 20 AWG outdoor rated sensor wiring and be sure the
conductor connections are protected from the environment. Use shielded cable for long
runs or runs near other electrical wiring.
3. Cut off the excess conductor and the strip back conductors ¼ inch. Use waterproof
connectors (provided) to connect the sensor to cable. Insert the conductors into the
SOLARSENSOR screw terminals (J21) on right side of the circuit board.
