Placing the sensor on flat plate collectors
Optimal sensor attachment
Yes! Sensor is placed inside the collector, under the glass
Not advised!The sensor does not penetrate the collector.* Will not work on drainback systems.
Sensor placement instructionsStep 1:With a 15/64” sharp drill bit, carefully drill alongside the hot-out connection and insert the solar control sensor for better protected temperature sensing.
1. Drill sensor hole through grommet (illustrated on previous slide)
2. Sweat on plumbing connection3. Lubricate drilled hole4. Insert sensor for direct pipe contact
