2 Safety instructions
Always completely disconnect the device from the operating voltage before
performing installation or wiring work on the electrical equipment.
Never mix up the connections of the protective low voltage areas (sensor, ow
sensor) with the 230V connections. Otherwise, the device will be destroyed.
The device and the connected sensors may carry deadly voltages.
Solar power systems can reach high temperatures. Such temperatures pose a
risk of burns! Exercise caution when installing the temperature sensors!
Mount the SOLAREG II controller in a position where it will not be subjected to
excessive operating temperatures (> 50°C) by any external heat sources.
For safety reasons, the system may only remain in manual operation for testing
purposes. In this operating mode, the system does not monitor for maximum
temperatures and sensor functions. If there is any recognisable damage to the
controller, cables or the connected pumps and valves, the system must not be
started.

3 Mounting the device
3.1 Opening the device
Prior to opening the device, make sure to disconnect the mains voltage and
ensure that it cannot be switched back on again! The upper part of the housing
is locked to the lower part using two latches. Pull the side pieces (cover plates) of
the upper part of the housing outwards (see picture) to unlatch it and upwards
until the cover plate is opened.
3.2 Wall mounting
The device is mounted on the marked points. A drilling template is provided with
the device. Insert the "Quick Info" card provided with the device into the pocket
provided on the back of the device. The "Quick Info" card provides the user with
an overview of the functions to facilitate rapid device operation.
The controller must only
be installed in dry and
non-explosive areas. Mounting
the controller on an inflammab-
le surface is prohibited

3.3 Connections
The following points must be followed for the 230V connections:
In case of a xed mains connection, there must be a switch installed outside
the controller that can disconnect the device from the mains power supply.
This switch is not required if the mains supply is connected using a cable and
an earthed mains plug.
The controllers are designed to operate using a 230V/50Hz mains supply. The
pumps and valves to be connected must be designed for this voltage!
All protective conductors must be connected to terminals marked with PE.
The neutral conductor terminals (N) are electrically connected and are not
switched!
All switching outputs (A1/A2/A3) are electronic 230V~ N/O contacts. If poten-
tial-free contacts are required, the appropriate corresponding accessories are
available
3.4 Temperature sensor connection
The SOLAREG II VISION PLUS devices use PT1000 precision platinum temperature
sensors. Depending on the system type and functional scope, 2 to 6 sensors are
required.
Mounting / wiring the temperature sensors:
Mount the sensors on the collector and the storage tank. Ensure proper heat
transfer and use heat-conducting paste if necessary.
Cross-sections for cable extensions (shielded):
- up to 15m 2 x 0.5mm2,
- up to 50m 2 x 0.75mm2.
The shield is connected to the earth (PE).
Connect the temperature sensors according to the system diagram. The polar-
ity of both conductors for the temperature sensors is irrelevant.
Sensor cables must be laid separately from 230V wires.
Sensor connection boxes equipped with surge protection should be used for
collector sensors and cable extensions.

7 Controller functions
7.1 General controller functions
The controller compares the temperatures of the various measuring points and
optimally charges the storage tank. If the collector temperature exceeds the
storage tank temperature, the solar circuit pump is switched on. Monitoring and
protection functions ensure safe operation.
7.1.1 Dual storage tank systems (diagram 1 and 2)
Examples of dual storage tank systems:
two separate storage tanks
one stratied storage tank
one storage tank and a swimming pool, etc.
The controller detects the temperature changes in the collector and the storage
media, determines the primary and secondary charging while, of course, taking
into consideration the charging duration as well as an interruption of this func-
tion along with a waiting period to monitor the collector temperature.

Temperature dierence
A minimum temperature limit (e.g. solid fuel boiler) and maximum temperature
limit can be set for the independent temperature dierence controller.
If the dierence between the measuring points exceeds the entered hysteresis,
A3 is switched on.
A maximum temperature can also be dened for the energy load and a minimum
temperature can be dened for the energy source.

7.1.4 Tube collector or start function
If this function is activated, the solar circuit pump is started for the entered time
frame regardless of the actual collector temperature.This allows the medium to
reach the measuring point to determine the collector temperature.

7.2 Protective functions
The controller is equipped with the following protective functions.
7.2.1 Collector protection
If the storage tank has reached the set maximum temperature and the collector
temperature exceeds the set collector protection temperature (line 1), the solar
circuit pump is switched on. The solar circuit pump is switched o once the col-
lector temperature is 10K below the maximum value.
In this case, the storage tank is charged up to 95°C regardless of the set maximum
temperature.
7.2.2 Recooling (Holiday function)
The collector protection function is only eective if the storage tank temperature
is below the temperature limit (95°). Therefore, during the holiday period, for
example, the storage tank is discharged at night to the set recooling temperature.
Make sure not to activate this function together with the backup heating!

7.2.3 System protection
If the collector temperature exceeds the collector protection temperature (see
7.2.2) by 10K, the solar circuit pump is switched o to protect the system compo-
nents.
If the collector temperature drops below the collector protection temperature,
the solar circuit pump is switched on.
The function is always activated.
7.2.4 Anti-freeze protection
This function must be activated if the water or glycol mixture can freeze.
If the temperature at the anti-freeze sensor (line 12) drops below the set value,
the solar circuit pump is activated and heats the solar circuit using the heat ex-
changer in the storage tank.

8 System monitoring
If an error occurs, the ashing symbol is generally displayed.
8.1 Sensor monitoring
The connected sensors and sensor cables are monitored for interruptions and
short-circuits. Errors are indicated by the symbol. You can nd the error source
by scrolling up or down the Info menu.
8.2 Flow monitoring
The controller is programmed to display a message if the ow is interrupted, e.g.
pump fault or if vapour is in the system. This message, however, does not switch
o the pump.
