Steca TR 0603
6 inputs,
3 outputs
The animated graphic display and elegant design of the Steca
TR 0603 controller make it particularly appealing, allowing it
to continue the success enjoyed by this family of controllers.
This controller provides everything to operate your solar ther-
mal system safely over a long service life. The Steca TR 0603
controller monitors and controls solar thermal systems with
two differently oriented collector arrays and a maximum of
two domestic hot water or buffer storage tanks. The large
graphic display shows the animated control circuits, which
allows you to view the operating statuses of each system.
The clearly arranged display ensures easy operation using pic-
tograms.
15 pre-programmed systems enable universal usage. The
Steca TR 0603 controller has six inputs for recording tem-
peratures or pulse values, as well as three speed-controlled
outputs for controlling pumps or switching valves.
