Key operational modes include:

• Normal Operation: Circulator activates when collector water is hotter than tank water.
• Over-temperature Operation: Manages high temperatures in collectors to prevent overheating.
• Night Time Cooling: Reduces excess solar energy gained during the day.
• Freeze Protection: Activates circulator to prevent freezing in cold conditions.
• Standby Mode: Engaged when conditions are not favorable for solar heating.
