2.2 Electrical connection
WARNING! Electric shock!
Upon opening the housing, live parts are exposed!
ÎAlways disconnect the device from power supply
before opening the housing!
ATTENTION! ESD damage!
Electrostatic discharge can lead to damage to electronic com-
ponents!
ÎTake care to discharge properly before touching
the inside of the device!To do so, touch a grounded
surface such as a radiator or tap!
Note
Connecting the device to the power supply must always be the last step
of the installation!
Note
It must be possible to disconnect the device from the mains at any time.
ÎInstall the mains plug such that it is accessible at any time.
ÎIf this is not possible, install a switch that can be accessed.
Do not use the device if it is visibly damaged!
Attach exible cables to the housing with the enclosed strain relief and the cor-
responding screws.
The controller is supplied with power via a mains cable.The power supply of the
device must be 100…240V~ (50… 60 Hz).

2.6 Terminal allocation with cable link
The controller calculates the temperature difference between collector sensor
S1 and store sensor S2. If the difference is larger than or identical to the adjusted
switch-on temperature difference (DT O), the solar pump will be activated by
relay 1, and the store will be loaded until the switch-off temperature difference
(DT F) or the maximum store temperature (S MX) is reached.
Sensor S3 is used for a thermostat function, which operates relay 2 for backup
heating purposes, when the adjusted thermostat switch-on temperature (BH O)
is reached.This function can optionally be combined with up to 3 adjustable time
frames.
Sensor S3 can optionally be used as the reference sensor for the thermal disinfec-
tion function (OTD) or the store emergency shutdown option (OSEM).
Sensor S4 can optionally be connected. For heat quantity measurement, S1 and S2,
S1 and VFD or VFD and S4 respectively can be used as ow and return sensors.
WARNING! Electric shock!
Upon opening the housing, live parts are exposed!
ÎAlways disconnect the device from power supply
before opening the housing!
Note:
With this connection type, the immersion heater is supplied with power
directly from the mains connection.

6.1 Display channels
Note:
The display and adjustment channels as well as the adjustment ranges de-
pend on the system selected, the functions and options as well as on the
system components connected to the controller.

Display of store temperatures
TST,TSTB,TSTT,TDIS
Store temperatures
Display range: -40… +260 °C [-40 … +500 °F]
Indicates the store temperatures.
• TST : Store temperature (backup heating off)
• TSTB : Store temperature base
• TSTT : Store temperature top
• TDIS : Thermal disinfection temperature
(replaces TSTT if, during thermal disinfection, the disinfection period DDIS is
active)
Display of sensors 3, 4 and VFD
S3, S4,VFD
Sensor temperatures
Display range: -40… +260 °C [-40 … +500 °F]
VFD: 0… 100°C [32…212°F]
Indicates the current temperature at the corresponding additional sensor (without
control function).
• S3 : Temperature at sensor 3 (backup heating off)
• S4 : Temperature at sensor 4
• VFD : Grundfos Direct Sensor™
Note:
S3 and S4 will only be indicated if the temperature sensors are connected
to the corresponding terminals. VFD will be indicated only if a Grundfos
Direct Sensor™ has been connected and registered.
Display of further temperatures
TFL,TR
Further measured temperatures
Display range: -40… +260 °C [-40 … +500 °F]
Indicates the current temperature at the corresponding sensor.
• TFL : Temperature ow
• TR : Temperature return
Indication of the ow rate
L/h
Flow rate/ PWM feedback signal
Display range: depending on the sensor type used and the PWM feedback signal
selected respectively
Indicates the current ow rate at the VFD ow rate sensor or of the bidirectional
pump and its error messages respectively.
The display range depends on the sensor type selected.
Indication of current pump speed
n %
Current pump speed
Display range: 10 … 100%
Indicates the current pump speed.

Display of heat quantity
kWh/MWh
Heat quantity in kWh/ MWh
Display channel
Indicates the heat quantity produced in the system.
The heat quantity measurement can be carried out in 3 different ways (see page
27): with a xed ow rate value, with a VFD Grundfos Direct Sensor™ or with
a PWM feedback signal. It is shown in kWh in the channel kWh and in MWh in
the channel MWh.The overall heat quantity results from the sum of both values.
The accumulated heat quantity can be set back to zero.As soon as one of the dis-
play channels of the heat quantity is selected, the symbol Ⓢis displayed.
ÎIn order to access the reset mode of the counter, press button for approx.
2s.
Ⓢ starts ashing and the heat quantity value will be set back to zero.
ÎIn order to nish the reset, press button .
In order to interrupt the reset process, do not press any button for about 5s.The
display returns to the display mode.
Indication of thermal disinfection
CDIS
Countdown of the
Monitoring period
Display range: 0… 30:0 … 24 (dd:hh)
If the thermal disinfection option (OTD) is activated and the monitoring period
is in progress, the remaining time is displayed as CDIS (in hours and minutes),
counting backwards.
SDIS
Display of starting time
Display range: 00:00… 24:00 (hh:mm)
If the thermal disinfection option (OTD) is activated and a starting delay time has
been adjusted, the adjusted starting time is displayed as SDIS (ashing).
DDIS
Display of disinfection period
Display range: 00:00… 24:00 (hh:mm)
If the thermal disinfection option (OTD) is activated and the disinfection period
is in progress, the remaining time is displayed as CDIS (in hours and minutes),
counting backwards.
Display of time
TIME
Indicates the current clock time.
ÎIn order to adjust the hours, press button for approx. 2 s.
ÎSet the hours by pressing buttons and .
ÎIn order to adjust the minutes, press button .
ÎSet the minutes by pressing buttons and .

Operating hours counter
h P / h P1 / h P2
Operating hours counter
Display channel
The operating hours counter accumulates the operating hours of the correspond-
ing relays (h P / h P1 / h P2). Only full hours are displayed.
The accumulated operating hours can be set back to zero.As soon as an operating
hours channel is selected, the symbol Ⓢis displayed.
ÎIn order to access the reset mode of the counter, press button for approx.
2s.
Ⓢ starts ashing and the operating hours value will be set back to zero.
ÎIn order to nish the reset, press button .
In order to interrupt the reset process, do not press any button for about 5s.The
display returns to the display mode.
6.2 Adjustment channels
∆T control
DT O
Switch-on temperature difference
Adjustment range: 1.0… 20.0 K [2.0 …40.0°Ra]
Factory setting: 8.0 K [12.0 °Ra]
The controller works as a standard differential controller.If the temperature reach-
es or exceeds the switch-on temperature difference, the pump switches on.
When the temperature difference reaches or falls below the adjusted switch-off
temperature difference, the respective relay switches off.
Note:
The switch-on temperature difference must be at least 0.5K [1 °Ra] high-
er than the switch-off temperature difference.
DT F
Switch-off temperature difference
Adjustment range: 0.5… 19.5 K [1.0 …39.0°Ra]
Factory setting: 4.0 K [8.0 °Ra]
Note:
If the drainback option ODB is activated, the values of the parameters
DT O, DT F and DT S will be adapted to values suiting drainback sys-
tems:
DTO = 10 K [20 °Ra]
DT F = 4 K [8 °Ra]
DTS = 15 K [30 °Ra]
Adjustments that have been previously made in these channels will be
overridden and have to be entered again if ODB is deactivated later on.
