The RESOL WMZ is a universal ca-
lorimeter for thermal solar systems
and conventional heating systems.
This calorimeter especially takes into
consideration that the density and
the specific heat capacity of the heat
transfer fluid depend on the tempera-
ture as well as on the mixing ratio of
water/glycol. The calorimeter RESOL
WMZ calculates the heat amount using
these parameters, the measurement
of 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 analogously 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 theVBus®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

1. Installation
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 (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

Electrostatic discharge can cause damage of elec-

Warning: high-voltaged components
Warning!
Opening the housing will expose live parts!
ÎSwitch off power supply and disconnect
the device from power supply before
opening the housing!
The unit must only be installed
• in a dry interior location
• in a non-hazardous location
• away from electromagnetic fields
The controller must additionally be supplied from a dou-
blepole switch with contact gap of at least 0.12“ [3 mm].
Route sensor cables and power supply cables separately.
ÎUnscrew the cross-head screw from the cover and re-
move it along with the cover from the housing
ÎMark the upper fastening point on the wall and drill
ÎFasten the enclosed wall plug and screw leaving the head
protruding
ÎHang the housing from the upper fastening point and
mark the lower fastening point through the hole in the
terminal box (centers 5.1“ [130 mm])
ÎDrill and insert the lower wall plug
ÎFasten the housing to the wall with lower fastening
screw and tighten
ÎComplete wiring connections in accordance with ter-
minal allocations, see chap. 1.2 “Electrical connection”
ÎPlace the cover back onto the housing
ÎFasten the cover by means of the cross-head screw
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 surge
caused by cavitation in hydraulic systems, the heat transfer
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.

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 for scrolling backwards through
the menu or to decrease adjustment values.
In order to change from the display level to the adjustment

Since the heat capacity of the heat transfer fluid depends
on the concentration of glycol,the proportion of the glycol/
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 RESOLWMZ takes into account that the specific
heat capacity c and the density rdepend on the temperature
and the mixing proportion (access to limited values). Using
these parameters, the measurement of the 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.
