Set the
TOPOUT
Temperature
The TOPOUT temperature is the maximum temperature that you will allow in
the cylinder. Very high temperatures in the cylinder can cause damage
(especially for ceramic lined tanks) – both from heat, and from high
pressures on plumbing fittings.
This feature is designed to stop hotter water from the collector entering the
cylinder if the temperature is already high – until the water in the cylinder has
cooled down to a safe level.
When the maximum tank temperature is reached (Topout Mode), the
TOPOUT light will come on.
The Topout value is usually set at a value somewhat lower than the water
tank manufacturer’s maximum temperature.
The Standard Topout temperature is 80
°C [176°F]and the range is 1°C –
120°C [33°F – 248°F]
