1. SAFE INSTALLATION AND USE
The controller is designed only for household
and similar use.
Before installation, service or maintenance
and prior to making any connections, always
disconnect power supply and make sure that the
terminals and electric wires are not energized.
When the controller is switched off using
keyboard or encoder, the controller
terminals are still under dangerous
voltage.
Controller may be used only for its
intended purpose.
It is required to use auxiliary protection
automatics to protect hot water system,
CH system (if any) in case of the
controller or software malfunction
Programmable settings must be selected
suitably to your system type, taking into
account all of its operating conditions.
Wrongful settings may cause the collector
or reservoir malfunction (e.g. collector
overheating, etc.).
Programmed settings may be modified
only by a person who read and
understood this manual.
Use only in heating systems that are set
up in accordance with valid regulations.
Electric system to which the controller is
connected must be protected with a cut-
out device suitable for expected loads.
Never use the controller when its casing
is damaged.
In any case do not alter the controller
components.
The controller has electronic
disconnection for connected devices
(operation 2.B according to PN-EN
60730-1). It means that at 230V voltage
supply the pump outlets have dangerous
voltage, even if the pumps are not
controlled.
Do not allow children access to the
controller.
Before you open casing, first disconnect
power supply from the unit.
The controller must be installed in
accordance with the requirements of EN
60335-1 standard, by qualified and
authorized technician.
Do not install the unit when it is
connected to voltage.
Short circuit in pump output will damage
your unit.
Do not operate the unit when it is
malfunctioning or was repaired by
unauthorized persons.
Do not mount the unit on flammable
materials.

2. GENERAL
Controller PCSol201 is an advanced electronic
unit designed for distribution of heat from solar
collectors. Works with solar pumps HIGH
EFFICIENCY controlled signal PWM. The controller
is used to control solar circuit systems
accordingly to indications from temperature
sensors to recover highest possible energy from
the collector.

5. OPERATION
The controller has
TOUCH&PLAY system
that facilitates its
operation. Encoder is
operated by its rotating
and pressing.
To start the controller,
keep pressed encoder
knob for 3 seconds.
Welcome screen will be
displayed:
Fig. 5.1 Welcome screen *
* starting screen may differ depending on controller
version.
After the welcome screen the controller displays
the main screen.
Fig. 5.2 Main screen
Controller outlets operation is each time indicated
by their blinking on displayed diagram.
6. CONTROLLER MENU
Any time during controller
operation, when you keep the
encoder pressed for 3 seconds. it
will cause exit to the main screen.
All controller settings are made
through menu system. MENU is
recalled by pressing encoder on
main screen to select icon.
Fig. 6.1 Recalling controller’s menu
When MENU is open, the unit will display a
screen with icons that represent the controller
functions:
Fig. 6.2 Controller menu
In middle on the screen you can see active item
icon selected as in Fig. 6.2. Now, you may turn
encoder knob to move through menu items. In
main MENU there will be:
Fig. 6.3 Main menu items
Where: Icon TDHWmin (second one) is shown only, if active
scheme is B and J.
Note: The function of this icon changes to Room temp. when
the active scheme is the Mscheme. Circulation icon (third
one) when active scheme will be B,C,D,E,G,H,J,K,L,O.
Circulation icon (third one), if active scheme is B, C, D, E, G,
H, J, K, L, O.

Values of settings are edited in scrollable
submenu. Example for submenu preset is shown
below. To edit setting value select required
setting and press the knob; the value will start
blinking. Now, rotate the knob to change the
setting value. The changed value will be
confirmed, when you press the knob again, and
you may select other setting.
After edition in submenu you may select
the following by pressing on selection:
OK Confirms changes and exits to menu; it
allows reverse reaction to encoder turning;
CANCEL Rejects changes in entire
submenu and exits to menu.

7. SETTINGS MENU
Access
This menu is used to make basic settings of
the controller. Change of parameters is only
accepted when you use OK in left lower corner of
the screen. Use CANCEL to reject any made
changes. List of parameters in this menu
depends on selected solar scheme. Parameters
are described in details in section 13 about
particular solar applications.
Depending on scheme and version of unit,
the following parameters are available in Settings

8. TIME PROGRAMS
For correct operation of time programs
it is required to set the clock.
8.1.TDHWmin
Access
Item available only in B scheme. Note:
The icon changes its destination after
selecting the M scheme.
Time program TDHWmin is minimal
temperature of DHT reservoir (T3 sensor), below
which the controller controls H output (heater or
other additional heat source).
When you switch off the temperature value in
value edition box,the time program will be set
off and the controller will use stable value for
TDHWmin parameter (single temperature value
all the time), during edition it may be seen that
the temperature has the same value all along the
diagram.
Fig. 8.1 Edition of TDHWmin value
To set the TDHWmin to change in time, it
is required to set schedule. It is done by setting
sch. value in value edition box.
Fig. 8.2 Activating time program for TDHWmin
When sch. value is confirmed, new item
MO-FR will be displayed; edit this value to select
one of the three time ranges:
MO-FR –time program for days Monday to
Friday,
SAT. –time program for Saturday,
SUN. –time program for Sunday.
After you confirmed desired time range,
use the knob to move the position marker to the
place (hour range), for which you want to edit
value.
Fig. 8.3 Setting marker position
Here, press the knob to hide the position
marker and to light the edition marker. When the
edition marker is lit, turn the knob to change
temperature value for current position marker.
