How does it work?
View of the electrical diagram
Connect the SmartMaxx-VFS flow meter to the controller
Connect the sensor to the controller according to the electrical diagram
Fix the position of the cable using the clamps that are in the controller housing
Make sure you have connected the wires correctly.
Close the controller and screw the two parts of the housing together.
What parts & accessories do I need?
How can I check if my temperature sensor is working properly?
To check the temperature sensor you can use the digital multimeter tool and check the resistance of the sensor.A simple steps which allow to check the temperature sensor:- Turn the system off (electricity) - safety us the most important
- Open the controller box
- Check if the connection is not loose
- If loose fix the connection by pushing the sensor wire inside the terminal
- Close the controller box and check if that fixed the issue
- Check the sensor wire resistance with multimeter (turn the multimeter switch to the resistance measurement) – reading should be around 1.101 kOhm at room temperature and around 1.250 kOhm for hot water
- If readings are different sensor might need replacement
Is The Sensor For The SmartMaxx™ Controller a Thermocouples or Thermistors?
The SmartMaxx™ controllers work similar like thermistors but there is a little difference in the way of measuring the temperature. The Pt1000 sensors (type of sensor which are using our systems) are also called RTDs. The resistance temperature probe is based on the resistance of metal in our case Platinum. The resistance of this metal depends on the temperature. Basically there are two types of thermistors PTC (the resistance is increasing due to temperature growth) and NTC (an increase in temperature causes the resistance to decrease) - the value of resistance depends on temperature. These type of sensors are more sensitive than basic type of controllers.Additional information
