 Goldline GL-30 Solar Control Unit - 110 
Volts
 The Goldline GL-30 
differential temperature control is designed to provide maximum operating 
efficiency and flexibility to effectively manage today's innovative solar energy 
systems. It is a continuation of the advanced electronic technology which 
produced the popular C-30 and CM-30 controllers - standards of the solar 
industry since 1975, with hundreds of thousands of units installed worldwide. 
With an adjustable high limit of 50º-104ºF, the GL-30 is capable of handling 
most differential temperature control functions for operation of domestic water 
heating and sophisticated space heating and cooling. The GL-30 is designed to 
control recirculation, drain-back and closed loop systems.
 
 Replacement unit for CM30 and C30:• Control does not include power cord or sensors [must be 
purchased separately or in a package]
 • Two 
SB-10K sensors may be required. [sold separately]
 NOTE: TD-GL & DIX-30 Temperature Displays are discontinued
 
 
 LED Indicators
 Three highly visible LEDs 
show:
 • Power to control
 • Power out from 
control
 • Power out from control due to a 
recirculation mode to protect
 • the system from 
freeze damage.
 
 GL-30 Output
 The GL-30 output is rated 
at 20 Amps and is designed to directly
 operate a pump or fan for heat 
collection when the controller is sensing an appropriate temperature 
differential.
 
 Differential
 The GL-30 has an 
adjustable differential with a range of 8º to 24ºF. Solar systems with long 
pipe runs normally require a higher
 turn-on differential temperature, and 
open loop systems with short pipe runs usually require a lower turn-on 
differential temperature for optimum performance. The GL-30 offers versatility 
to tailor controls to numerous specific systems designs.
 
 Storage 
High Limit
 The GL-30 allows you to set a high limit storage 
temperature from 110º to 230ºF.
 
 Recirculation Freeze 
Protection
 Recirculation freeze protection, when enabled, turns the 
GL-30
 output on to circulate warmer storage water through the collectors 
when near freezing temperatures are reached at the collector 
sensor.
 
 System Test Switch
 The system test switch 
manually switches the GL-30 to ON, AUTO,
 or OFF for complete control over 
the system at all times.

 General 
Control and Sensor Trouble-Shooting Tips:
 
 All of the GoldLine 
(formally Independent Energy) controls (including C30, CM30, G30 and GL30 
series) and some of the Heliotrope General (HG) DTT series controls incorporated 
the use of 10k sensors.  Some of the earlier HG controls and some other 
lesser known brands used 3k sensors.
 
 To determine the type of sensor, the 
resistance must be measured in ohms (using a volt/ohm meter) when the sensor is 
at 77 degrees F.  10k measures 10,000 ohms and 3k measures 3,000 ohms. As 
the temperature goes up, the resistance goes down.
 
 Resistance can 
be checked at any temperature, and then
 convert the ohm reading measured to 
the temperature equivalent
 by using the conversion 
chart.
