The RESOL WMZ is a universal calo-
rimeter for thermal solar systems and
conventional heating systems.This ca-
lorimeter especially takes into consi-
deration that the density and the spe-
cific heat capacity of the heat transfer
fluid depend on the temperature as
well as on the mixing ratio of water/
glycol. The calorimeter RESOL WMZ
calculates the heat amount using the-
se parameters, the measurement of
feed flow and return temperature by
2 precision-temperature sensors and
the evaluation of the impulses of the
flowmeter.A power failure protection
guarantees that the adjusted system
parameters and the calculated heat
quantity are maintained in the case of
power loss. By means of push buttons,
different channels can be chosen and
user levels can be changed. In the first
level, the temperature at the selected
measuring points, the heat gained, the
actual power or the volumetric flow
rate of the system are indicated on
the graphic display. A control lamp is
also installed for indication of sensor
defects and false sensors connections.
A second level is used for displaying
system adjustment values and control
values, which can be analoguely ad-
apted to changes in the systems. The
power supply is effected via a mains
plug. Additional RESOL modules can
be connected to a bus connection.
The VBus®connection enables the
transmission of display values to a
corresponding RESOL controller, PC
or datalogger in order to be further
processed or evaluated.

1 Unscrew the cross-head screw of the cover and re-
move the cover from the housing.
2 Unscrew the two lateral srews of the transparent shield
and remove the shield.
3 Pull out the board which has to be replaced carefully.
Replace with new board.
Carry out assembly in reverse order.
Attention!
When the WMZ is connected to a controller, the VBus
master board has to be replaced with the VBus slave
board!
When several WMZ are cascaded and connected to a data-
logger or PC (see p. 10), only theVBus master boards of the
WMZs with the subaddress 1 or higher have to be replaced
with the VBus slave boards!
Warning
Switch-off power supply and disconnect from mains before
opening the housing!

1.1 Mounting
The device has to be located in a dry interior place. It is not
suitable for installation in hazardous locations and should
not be installed near to any electromagnetic fields.The de-
vice must additionally be equipped with an all-polar gap of
at least 3 mm or with a gap according to the valid installaton
regulations, e.g. LS-switches or fuses. Please pay attention to
a separate laying of the sensor lines and the power supply.
1. Unscrew the cross-head screw of the cover and remove
it along with the cover from the housing.
2. Mark the upper fastening point on the underground and
pre-assemble the enclosed dowel and screw.
3. Hang up the housing at the upper fastening point and
mark the lower fastening point on the underground
(hole-center distance 130 mm), afterwards fit the lower
dowel.
4. Hang up the housing at the top and fasten it with the
lower fastening screw
1. Installation Warning!
Switch-off power supply and discon-
nect from mains before opening the
housing!
1.2 Electrical connection
The power supply of the controller must be carried out
via an external power supply (last step!).The supply voltage
must be 115 Volt (50 ... 60 Hz). Flexible cables are to be
attached to the housing using the enclosed strain reliefs and
the respective screws.
In order to use the RESOL WMZ along with a flowmeter
RESOL V40, the following connection is to be carried out
(polarity of the separate terminals is arbitrary):
1 / 2 = sensor S1 (feed flow temperature)
3 / 4 = sensor S2 (return temperature)
5 / 6 = flowmeterV40
9 / 10 = RESOL VBus®
The mains connection is carried out via the terminals:
19 = neutral conductor N
20 = line L
12 / 13 / 14 = gound terminals

hanging
attachment
Electrostatic discharge can cause damage of elec-
tronic components
Warning: high-voltaged components
A flowmeter RESOLV40 is used in order to determine the
volumetric flow rate in the solar circuit.The installation is to
be carried out taking the flow direction into consideration
(consider direction indication on the flowmeter). In order
to tranquilise the flow ratio, an inlet and an outlet distance
of 30 cm in front of and behind the flowmeter have to be
taken into account.
Note: Versions V40 0,6 to 2,5 are suited for horizontal as
well as for vertical installation.VersionsV40 3,5 to 15 are for
horizontal installation only. In order to avoid a pressure sur-
ge caused by cavitation in hydraulic systems, the heat trans-
fer fluid should be filled in when it is cold, and de-aerators
should be used. Pressure surge and turbulent flow ratios
lead to damage of the sensitive measuring instruments.

quatity as well as flow and return temperatures are shown.
Furthermore, it contains a system screen.

2. Operation and function
2.1 Push buttons for adjustment
The WMZ is operated by 3 push buttons below the display.
The forward-key (1) is used for scrolling forward through
the indication menu or to increase the adjustment values.
The backward-key (2) is used correspondingly for the re-
verse function.
In order to change from the display level to the adjustment
level, press button 3 shortly.The indication changes to the
adjustment mode.
Select channel with buttons 1 and 2

Since the heat capacity of the heat transfer fluid depends
on the concentration of glycol, the proportion of the gly-
col/water-mixture has to be determined first.
Determining the ratio for known volumes:
If the volumes of water and glycol in the system are known,
the value in vol. % is calculated as follows:
Vol%=(VG:(VW+VG))x100
VG: volume of glycol
VW: volume of water
Example:
if 15 liters of water and 20 liters of glycol are used in the
solar circuit, then follows:
Vol % = (20 : (15 + 20)) x 100) = 57
Determining the ratio for unknown volumes:
RESOL refractomter:
In order to analyse the system, a small amount of fluid has to
be withdrawn from the solar circuit and applied to the prism
surface of the refractometer. Hold the pointy end against
the light and turn the ocular until the borderlines become
visible. The borderlines indicate the freezing temperature.
In a table on the receptacle of the heat transfer fluid, the
value for the vol.-% corresponding to the temperature
value, is shown.
RESOL DHA125:
In order to analyse the system, a small amount of fluid has
to be withdrawn from the solar circuit and filled into the
measuring glass.With the measuring spindle, the density of
the fluid can be determined which is converted into the
mixing ratio with the aid of the table.
3. Determining the ratio of the glycol-water
mixture
(when using ready mixed fluids, pay attention to
manufacturers‘ instructions)
4. Function During the calculation of the transferred heat quantity, the
calorimeter RESOL WMZ takes into account that the speci-
fic heat capacity c and the density rdepend on the tempe-
rature and the mixing proportion (access to limited values).
Using these parameters, the measurement of the feed flow
and return temperatures with two precision temperature
sensors, and the evaluation of the impulses of a volumetric
flowmeter, the WMZ calculates the transferred quantity.
This device can be used in systems which use water or
water-propylene glycol mixtures as the heat transfer fluid.
The proportion (in vol%) used in a system and the specifi-
cation of the selected flowmeter (in liters per impulse) are
adjusted locally after the installation.
