Steca TA ES1
The TA ES1 irradiation sensor is based on a monocrystalline
silicon solar cell and allows recording of the current level
of solar irradiation. The silicon solar cell is laminated into
a weatherproof, transparent, UV-resistant plastic lid. The
sensor is connected using high-strength cable glands and
cage clamps. The TA ES1 sensor can be used as a so-called
irradiation threshold switch" to switch the solar circuit pump
on and off, based on the current level of solar irradiation.
Alternatively, the recording of the level of solar irradiation can
be used for monitoring and analysis of the solar energy system.
The sensor is delivered with a 3 m long, 2-core, UV-resistant
connection cable. The case has pre-drilled holes for screw
mounting and also an opening for strap mounting.

Steca TA OP1
The TA OP1 overvoltage protection unit is a connection socket
in a splash-proof IP 65 protective case and serves to protect
the collector sensors against local lightning strikes and
externally induced voltage spikes.
A varistor protective diode protects against atmospheric voltage
spikes that can lead to destruction of the collector sensors.
The use of the TA OP1 offers extra general protection of the
collector sensors in any type of solar thermal system. In
addition,the simple operation of the coil-spring clamps allows
rapid and simple installation of the collector sensors using a
sensor extension cable..
