24 V AC/DC  Differential  Controller

USDT 2001/24 is an advanced temperature differential controller. It is a microprocessor based temperature controller that regulates solar water heating systems. The USDT 2001 can be powered by a 24 volts DC or AC source to monitor supply and return temperatures.  A green LED illuminates when the supply temperature exceeds the return temperature by a programmable temperature difference (∆T.) An internal relay can power a 3.5 A (75 W, 24 V source) pump or an auxiliary relay (6 A Maximum current draw).

To avoid overheating the controlled system, the pump stops when the supply temperature reaches a programmable maximum temperature (TMAX).  Frost or cooling protection is regulated through return temperature monitoring. Regardless of the temperature difference (∆T), the pump runs when the return temperature is below a programmable minimum temperature (Tmin).  The system offers an adjustable temperature hysteresis in advanced operation mode to avoid pump cycling.



The controller operates with both thermistor and PT 1000 sensors. PT 1000 sensors are recommended for high temperature regulation. A user can select the sensor type in the controller’s advanced operation mode. The standard unit includes one thermistor and one PT 1000 sensor. The system diagnostics are powerful and acute; they display potential system problems such as sensor or pump failures. The suggested retail price for a controller and two sensors is $ 159.00.
