9. MENU ALARMS
Access
The controller may alarm on any
irregularities in operation.
The controller has an intelligent alarm
function. It means that the controller recognizes
type of alarm condition and takes respective
remedy actions accordingly to the conditions. For
instance, if the sensor of reservoir extra heating
with a heater fails, the controller prevents extra
heating for the reservoir. Despite of alarm, the
solar circuit will continue correct operation and
the controller will not let the reservoir to be
overheated.
Type of action taken by the smart alarm
depends on the alarm type and on the solar
application.
When in the main screen in the screen
bottom ALARM! sign starts blinking (Fig. 5.2), it
means alarm situation. Now, entering through
menu to Alarms we have access to contents and
code number of alarm reported by the
controller (Fig. below).

Alarm codes are summarized in the table below,
to facilitate their identifications and remedies:
List of alarms
No.
Alarm
1
DHW reservoir overheating
Maximal DHW reservoir temperature has been
reached (exceeded temperature specified as
TDHWmax). Pump that loads heat to reservoir
is stopped. This alarm has higher priority than
collector alarms (if collector temperature alarms
occur at the same time, solar pump will not be
started whatsoever). It is required to cool
reservoir, e.g. by discharging hot water.
2
Solar panel overheating
P1 stop
Collector pump will be stopped by the time,
when collector temperature drops below
TCOLmax. It is possible to start pump in
manual service mode. Check work fluid flow
(possible air in system or collector pump is not
controlled).
This alarm may be due to exceeded reservoir
temperature alarm (Code 1).
3
Solar panel critical temperature
It means that collector critical temperature has
been reached (parameter TCOLcr) and despite
reaching temperatures (TsDHW, TsPOOL)
collector pump will be started, until collector
temperature drops below TCOLcr. Wait for
collector cool down. If menu option “Alarm
TCOLcr” is set as NO, controller will not report
this alarm, but it will take described actions.
4
T1 sensor malfunction
Alarm informs on incorrect operation or damage
to T1 sensor. Check connections for continuity
(connect) or short circuit (eliminate) in sensor
circuit. Alarm will stop collector pump, algorithm
stops DHW reservoir loading.
5
T2 sensor malfunction
Alarm informs on incorrect operation or damage
to T2 sensor. Check connections for continuity
(connect) or short circuit (eliminate) in sensor
circuit. Alarm will stop collector pump, algorithm
stops DHW reservoir loading.
6
T3 sensor malfunction
Alarm informs on incorrect operation or damage
to T3 sensor. Check connections for continuity
(connect) or short circuit (eliminate) in sensor
circuit. This alarm depends on solar thermal
scheme. At Bscheme (with heater) extra
heating of reservoir will be stopped (output H is
off) and alarm is not reported. In schemes A, C
sensor has informative function and controller
will not report any alarms from these sensors.
7
T4 sensor malfunction
Alarm informs on incorrect operation or damage
to T4 sensor. Check connections for continuity
(connect) or short circuit (eliminate) in sensor
circuit. This alarm depends on Solar thermal
scheme. Alarm is reported only at schemes D, G
or K, where operational algorithm requires this
sensor. At other schemes (B, C, E, F, H, I*) T4
sensor is used to calculate heat output and its
malfunction is not reported, while heat output is
not calculated.
*T4 sensor operation in I scheme depends on dTP2
parameter, as described in section 20.1
8
DHW A reservoir overheating
An alarm informing that the TDHWmax defined
maximum temperature of DHW A (A buffer in
K scheme) has been reached. A pump loading
heat into this container/buffer will be halted.
Container/buffer should be cooled down, e.g. by
letting warm water our and/or disconnecting
alternative heat source from the container.
9
DHW B reservoir overheating
Alarm on reaching maximal temperature defined
in TDHWmax parameter in DHW B reservoir.
Pump that loads heat to this reservoir will be
stopped. Cool down this reservoir, e.g. by hot
water discharge.
10
Solar panel A critical temperature
In system with two collectors (only Solar
thermal scheme H) alarm on exceeding critical
temperature (parameter TCOLcr) in A collector.
Controller, despite that preset temperature
TsDHW is reached, will start collector pump P1
in order to lower temperature below critical.
Wait for collector cool down. If menu option
“Alarm TCOLcr” is set as NO, controller will not
report this alarm, but it will take described
actions.

13
11
Solar panel B critical temperature
In system with two collectors (only Solar
thermal scheme H) alarm on exceeding critical
temperature (parameter TCOLcr) in B collector.
Controller, despite that preset temperature
TsDHW is reached, will start collector pump P2
in order to lower temperature below critical.
Wait for collector cool down. If menu option
“Alarm TCOLcr” is set as NO, controller will not
report this alarm, but it will take described
actions.
12
Solar panel A overheating. P1 stop
Acircuit collector pump (at scheme H) will be
stopped, until collector temperature drops below
TCOLmax. It is possible to start pump in
manual service mode.
13
Solar panel B overheating. P2 stop
Bcircuit collector pump (at scheme H) will be
stopped, until collector temperature drops below
TCOLmax. It is possible to start pump in
manual service mode.
14
Antifreeze STOP
During antifreeze performance collector pump is
started to increase temperature of too cold solar
work fluid. Energy from reservoir or pool will be
used for this purpose. However, if reservoir or
pool temperature is near 2°C, controller will stop
antifreeze function to prevent heat source
damage and will initiate alarm. Antifreeze
function is wider described in section

15
Date and time setting must be confirmed
with “OK”. When you select “CANCEL”, any
changes will be rejected.
The controller has function of sustaining
clock for 10 days. After this time, if power supply
is not restored, the clock will reset.
12. HEAT OUTPUT
Access
The controller counts energy recovered from the
collector. Heat output visualization differs
depending on the controller version.
Heat output function is not available in
solar thermal schemes D, G and K.
Calculation of heat output and
momentary power requires additional
temperature sensor CT6 connected to
measurement input T4. If the sensor is
not connected, heat output will not be
counted.
In solar applications that for their
operation require four temperature sensors, heat
output counting is not possible. These
applications are D and G. When the schemes are
on, the controller menu will not display heat
output icon and the function may not be entered.
The controller logs data on recovered
energy from last 14 days in the form of bar
chart.
Fig. 12.1 Heat output screen
Energy total counter is displayed at the
bottom of the screen. It counts energy recovered
from the solar panel from the beginning of the
unit’s lifetime. The counter data are stored in
non-volatile memory that is not affected by
power losses.
First bar in the chart stands for energy
recovered on current day and it is updated every
full hour.
At midnight, the controller will move data
one position to the right and start counting for
new current day.
It is possible to turn the heat output chart
on in the main screen (in place where active
Solar thermal scheme is displayed). In the main
screen, the controller displays data for 7 days.
Fig. 12.2 Heat output in main screen
Data are updated every full hour and the
entire chart is moved at midnight. To see data
for previous days, you must enter the heat
output menu.

13. SOLAR APPLICATIONS
13.1. Night cooling
Due to the fact that in solar thermal
schemes C, F, Ithere is no risk of
reservoir overheating and that other
protection means are provided for
them against overheating, the function
of night cooling is not available in
these schemes.
For correct operation of night cooling it
is required that the clock is set.
Night cooling function is used to cool
DHW reservoir by emitting excess heat through
cold collector. It is done by starting the collector
pump.
During night cooling, any alternative
sources of energy will be switched off.
There are three settings for night cooling
function: Night cooling, Night cooling ON,
Night cooling OFF and they are in Adjustment
menu.
Night cooling- YES: switches on, NO: switches
off the night cooling mode. When the mode
is on, the controller, in hours 000÷500, if T2
sensor temperature is higher than specified
in Night cooling ON setting; will decide to
start night cooling. The controller will start
the collector pump in order to discharge to
reservoir and will be cooling the reservoir to
reach temperature specified in Night
cooling OFF setting. In this mode, the
controller additionally monitors the collector
temperature; cooling will be stopped for
some time, if T1+dToff>T2. Regardless
prior conditions, the controller will exit from
the cooling mode at 500 and return to normal
operation. Activation of night cooling mode is
indicated in the screen as blinking moon icon
near the collector picture.
Night cooling ON - DHW reservoir temperature
(measured by T2), when reached, if night
cooling function is enabled (prior item)
000÷500 and the temperature at T2 sensor is
higher than Night cooling ON temperature,
the controller will decide on night cooling
activation. The controller will start the
collector pump to discharge the reservoir and
it will continue to cool the reservoir to the
temperature set for Night cooling OFF.
Night cooling OFF - DHW reservoir
temperature (T2 sensor), to which the
controller will be cooling the reservoir during
night cooling function. When the temperature
drops to the one specified for Night cooling
OFF,the controller will stop night cooling.
Additionally, depending on selected scheme,
the controller will control additional outputs, so
as to discharge heat more efficiently.
In scheme B during night cooling, circulation on
output P2 will be activated (regardless any time
programs etc.); heater operation will stopped
(output H is turned off, regardless any time
programs etc.).
In schemes D, E, G, J, K during night cooling,
circulation on output H will be activated
(regardless any time programs etc.).
13.2. Solar thermal scheme A
Loading of DHW reservoir with solar
collector.
This basic solar application.
Fig. 13.1 Solar thermal scheme A
The collector pump will be started with
100% capacity, when difference between T1 and
T2 exceeds value of dTonDHW
setting and it will be working for the time
specified in tP setting. If upon this time the
difference between T1 and T2 is still above
dTonDHW, the pump speed will remain at
100%. If the temperature difference between T1
and T2 drops below dTonDHW, the controller
will start reducing the pump speed, until the
moment when T1 and T2 difference reaches
value specified in dToffDHW setting. When T1
and T2 difference is between the values
dTonDHW ÷ dToffDHW, the controller will
calculate and set the pump speed proportionally.
When dToffDHW is reached, the pump will work
at minimal speed (parameter Pmin), below it will
be stopped.
System will work by the time when T2
sensor preset temperature TsDHW is reached,
than the collector pump P1 is stopped.
If the collector temperature T1 reaches
critical value (TCOLcr parameter), the controller
will allow the collector pump to be switched on to
lower the collector temperature below HP1
hysteresis parameter.
If the reservoir temperature on T2 sensor
reaches the value of TDHWmax, than the
controller, despite critical collector’s temperature
(TCOLcr), will stop the collector pump, disabling
the collector cooling. It is to protect the reservoir

Night cooling- YES enables / NO disables night
cooling in hours 000÷500.
Night cooling ON –DHW reservoir temperature
(T2 sensor), if exceeded at 000, if night
cooling function is enabled, the controller will
decide on night cooling activation.
Night cooling OFF –DHW reservoir
temperature (T2 sensor), to which the
controller will cool the reservoir (if night
cooling is enabled and in hours 000÷500
Night cooling ON temperature is
exceeded).
Alarm TCOLcr –Switching on (YES) or off (NO)
the alarm on exceeding TCOLcr
temperature. This function does not affect
the controller’s operation. If the setting is set
as NO, the controller will not report any
alarm after TCOLcr temperature has been
exceeded on the collector’s sensor.
13.3. Solar thermal scheme B
Loading of DHW reservoir with a function of
extra heating by the use of a heater.
Fig. 13.2 Solar thermal scheme B
The collector pump will be started with
100% capacity, if the difference between T1 and
T2 exceeds value of dTonDHW
setting and it will work for the time as specified
in tP. If after this time the difference between T1
and T2 is still above dTonDHW,
the pump speed will remain at 100%. If the said
difference T1 and T2 drops below dTonDHW,
the controller will start reducing the pump speed,
until the difference between T1
and T2 reaches the value specified as
dToffDHW. When the difference between T1 and
T2 is between the values dTonDHW ÷
dToffDHW, the controller will calculate and set
pump speed proportionally. If dToffDHW is
reached, the pump will work at minimal speed
(parameter Pmin), below it will be stopped.
The controller will heat up CWU reservoir
using a heater or other heat source (H output)
up to the temperature of TDHWmin. Functioning
of Houtput depends also on eco function set up,
as described in „Adjustment” menu.
TDHWmin temperature is set through
main menu item TDHWmin.
List of settings in Adjustment menu:
TsDHW- Reservoir temperature preset.
Eco mode- economic mode on or off (power
saving) YES Extra heating of DHW reservoir
with a heater or other source of heat (H
output) to the temperature of TDHWmin,
when the collector is not working (P1 pump
stops due to poor sunlight).
When the collector pumpis started, the
controller will turn the heater off (H output).
NO Extra heating of DHW reservoir with a
heater or other source of heat (H output) up
to the temperature of TDHWmin, regardless
if the collector supplies energy or not.
Night cooling- YES enables / NO disables night
cooling mode in hours 000÷500.
Night cooling ON –DHW reservoir temperature
(T2 sensor), which if exceeded at 000 (if night
cooling function is enabled), the controller
will decide on night cooling activation.
Night cooling OFF –DHW reservoir
temperature (T2 sensor), to which the
controller will be cooling down the reservoir
(if night cooling function is enabled and in
hours 000÷500 the temperature of Night
cooling ON has been exceeded).
Alarm TCOLcr –Switches on (YES) or off (NO)
the alarm on exceeding TCOLcr
temperature. This function will not affect the
controller operation. If the parameter is set
as NO, the controller will not alarm when the
temperature of TCOLcr is exceeded at the
collector’s sensor.

100%. If the said difference between
temperatures T1 and T2 drops below
dTonDHW, the controller will start reducing the
pump speed, until the difference between T1
and T2 reaches the value specified as
dToffDHW. If the difference between T1 and T2
is between the values dTonDHW ÷ dToffDHW,
the controller will calculate and set the pump
speed proportionally.
When dToffDHW is reached, the pump will work
at minimal speed (Pmin parameter), below it will
be stopped.
The system will operate by the time when T2
sensor temperature reaches the preset TsDHW,
and then it will be stopped.
If T1 collector temperature reaches critical
value (TCOLcr), than the collector will allow the
collector pump to be switched on, to reduce the
critical temperature blow hysteresis HP1.
If the reservoir reaches maximal
temperature TDHWmax, the P2 input (controls
discharge valve) will be operated, until the
reservoir temperature (T2 sensor) drops to the
value T2<TDHWmax-HP2.
List of settings in Adjustment menu:
TsDHW- Reservoir temperature preset.
Alarm TCOLcr –Switching on (YES) or off (NO)
the alarm on exceeding TCOLcr
temperature. This function will not affect the
controller operation. If the parameter is set
as NO the controller will not alarm after
TCOLcr temperature has been exceeded at
the collector’s sensor.
13.5. Solar thermal scheme D
Loading of DHW reservoir A with a function for
heat transfer to DHW reservoir B.
Fig. 13.4 Solar thermal scheme D
The collector pump will be started with
100% capacity, if the difference between T1 and
T2 exceeds the value of dTonDHW
setting, and it will be working for the time
specified in parameter tP. If after this time the
difference between T1 and T2 is still above
dTonDHW, the pump speed will remain at
100%. If the said difference between T1 and T2
drops below dTonDHW, the controller will start
reducing the pump speed, until the difference
between T1 and T2 reaches the value specified
as dToffDHW. If the difference between T1 and
T2 is between the values dTonDHW ÷
dToffDHW, the controller will calculate and set
the pump speed proportionally.
When dToffDHW is reached, the pump will work
at minimal speed (Pmin parameter), below it will
be stopped.
If the difference between Aand Breservoir
temperature reaches the value of dTAB (T3 and
T4 difference), P2 will be started to transfer heat
to the reservoir B. The pump will be stopped, if
the difference between temperatures T3
and T4 drops below the difference dTAB-HP2).
If the collector temperature T1 reaches
the value of TCOLcr, the collector pump will be
started (despite of reaching TsDHW
temperature). This is aimed to reduce the
collector’s temperature. It will be stopped, when
T1 temperature drops below T1<TCOLcr-HP1,
or if the reservoir temperature at T2 sensor
reaches the value of TDHWmax.
List of settings in Adjustment menu
TsDHW- Reservoir temperature preset Aand B.
dTAB- temperature difference between
reservoirs A and B (T3 and T4 sensors), that
when reached causes the controller to start
P2 pump, which transfers heat to the
reservoir B. P2 will be stopped, if the
difference of dTAB (T3 and T4
temperatures) drops by the value of auxiliary
hysteresis HP2.
Night cooling- YES enables / NO disables night
cooling mode in hours 000÷500.
Night cooling ON –DHW reservoir temperature
(T2 sensor) that when exceeded at 000, if
night cooling function is enabled, the
controller will decide on night cooling
activation.
Night cooling OFF –DHW reservoir
temperature (T2 sensor), to which the
controller will be cooling down the reservoir
(if night cooling function is enabled and if
between 000÷500 Night cooling ON
temperature was exceeded).
Alarm TCOLcr –Switching on (YES) or off (NO)
the alarm on exceeding TCOLcr
temperature. This function will not affect the
controller operation. If the parameter is set
as NO, the controller will not alarm if TCOLcr
temperature has been exceeded at the
collector’s sensor.

13.6. Solar thermal scheme E
Loading of two DHW reservoirs Aand B
with priority function for reservoir A.
Fig. 13.5 Solar thermal scheme E
Both reservoirs are loaded up to the
temperature set as TsDHW, measured at T2
sensor for reservoir Aor T3 sensor for reservoir
B.The controller checks which reservoir has not
reached the temperature preset and decides on
loading to this reservoir.
If neither of the reservoirs has reached
the temperature preset, the controller first loads
the reservoir A(reservoir A priority).
The collector pump P1 for the reservoir A
or P2 for the reservoir Bwill be started at 100%
capacity for the reservoir (depending on which
one has not reached temperature preset), if the
difference between T1 and T2 (for reservoir A)
or T1 and T3 (for reservoir B) exceeds the value
of dTonDHW setting. The pump will be working
for the time specified in tP setting. If after this
time the difference between T1 and T2 or T3 is
still above dTonDHW, the pump speed will
remain at 100%. If the said difference between
temperatures drops below dTonDHW, the
controller will start reducing the pump speed,
until the value of dToffDHW is reached.
If the difference between T1 and T2 or T3 is
between the values dTonDHW ÷ dToffDHW,
the controller will calculate and set the pump
speed proportionally.
When dToffDHW is reached, the pump will work
at minimal speed (Pmin), below it will be
stopped.
System will switch again to reservoir A
loading, when the temperature drops below the
value of HP1 hysteresis.
Operating algorithm of the collector pump P1
with the reservoir Ais identical as for the pump
P2 at loading the reservoir B.
When both reservoirs reach the temperature
preset TsDHW, the collector pumps will be
stopped. The will be started at the moment,
when in one of the reservoirs the temperature
drops in relation to the temperature preset of
hysteresis: respectively HP1for P1 pump and
HP2 for P2 pump. Eventually, when the
temperature at the collector sensor T1 will reach
critical value (TCOLcr). Then, the controller will
allow switching on the collector pump for the
reservoir Aor B(with the priority for the
reservoir A), by the time, when the reservoirs
temperatures reach TDHWmax. This will cause
the collector pumps to stop.
List of settings in Adjustment menu:
TsDHW- Reservoir temperature preset Aor B.
Night cooling- YES switches on / NO switches
off night cooling mode in hours 000÷500.
Night cooling ON –DHW reservoir temperature
(T2 sensor), when exceed at 000, if night
cooling function is enabled, the controller will
decide on night cooling activation.
Night cooling OFF –DHW reservoir
temperature (T2 sensor) to which the
controller will be cooling down the reservoir
(if night cooling function is enabled and if in
hours 000÷500 Night cooling ON
temperature has been exceeded).
Alarm TCOLcr –Switching on (YES) or off (NO)
the alarm on exceeding TCOLcr
temperature. This function will not affect the
controller operation. If the parameter is set
as NO, the controller will not alarm after
exceeding TCOLcr temperature at the
collector sensor.
13.7. Solar thermal scheme F
Loading of DHW reservoir and pool with priorities
function.
Fig. 13.6 Solar thermal scheme F
Depending on Priority setting
(Pool/DHW), the system will first load the
circuit to temperature preset of TsDHW or
TsPOOL.
If the reservoir circuit has priority and it
has not reached its temperature preset, then the
collector pump will be started with 100%
capacity, if the difference between T1 and T2
exceeds value of dTonDHW,and it will be
working for the time specified in parameter tP. If
after this time the difference between T1 and T2
is still above dTonDHW, the pump speed will
remain at 100%. If the said difference between
T1 and T2 drops below dTonDHW, the controller
will start reducing the pump speed, until the
difference between T1 and T2 reaches the value
specified as dToffDHW. If the difference

20
between T1 and T2 is between the values
dTonDHW ÷ dToffDHW the controller will
calculate and set pump speed proportionally.
When dToffDHW is reached, the pump will
work at minimal speed (Pmin), below it will be
stopped.
After reaching preset temperature in priority
circuit, the controller will switch the circuit.
The pool circuit will work analogically, except
that the temperatures are calculated from T1 and
T3 and the system uses auxiliary deltas
dTonPOOL ÷ dToffPOOL. Pool exchanger P2
pump is always switched on/off with delay as
specified in tDLY setting in relation to P1 pump.
When the second circuit is heated up to
preset temperature, the collector pump is
stopped. It will be restarted, when on any circuit
the temperature drops by hysteresis value
(HP1), in accordance with priority setting.
If the collector temperature reaches
TCOLcr value, the collector pump will be started
and the circuit will be switched to priority one in
order to reduce the collector temperature. It will
be stopped, when T1 temperature drops below
T1<TCOLcr-HP1.
If Priority is set for DHW, the collector
unloading will be continued only to the time when
TDHWmax is reached, and then the system
switches to the pool. In the pool circuit there is
no upper limit for discharging collector’s critical
temperature.
Switching between DHW/POOL is
controlled through H output. The circuit operation
starts only when the switching time elapsed
(tVALVE).
Due to pool system, the scheme has no
night cooling function.
List of settings in Adjustment menu
TsDHW- Reservoir temperature preset
TsPOOL- Pool temperature preset
Priority- Priority setting: reservoir (DHW) or
pool (POOL) loading.
Alarm TCOLcr –Switching on (YES) or off (NO)
the alarm on exceeding TCOLcr
temperature. This function will not affect the
controller operation. If the parameter is set
as NO the controller will not alarm when
TCOLcr temperature is exceeded at the
collector sensor.
13.8. Solar thermal scheme G
Loading of DHW reservoir with solar collector and
boiler.

The collector pump will be started with
100% capacity, if the difference between T1 and
T2 exceeds value of dTonDHW setting
and it will be working for the time specified in
parameter tP. If after this time the difference
between T1 and T2 is still above dTonDHW, the
pump speed will remain at 100%. If the said
difference between T1 and T2 drops below
dTonDHW, the controller will start reducing the
pump speed, until the difference between T1
and T2 reaches the value specified as
dToffDHW. If the difference between T1 and T2
is between the values dTonDHW ÷ dToffDHW,
the controller will calculate and set the pump
speed proportionally.
When dToffDHW is reached, the pump
will work at minimal speed (Pmin), below it will
be stopped.
If TsDHW temperature is reached for
sensor:
T2- reservoir loading from collector will be
stopped;
T3 –reservoir loading from boiler will be
stropped.
The reservoir loading will be restarted,
when one of the temperatures T2 or T3 drops
below hysteresis HP1 for T2 or HP2 for T3.
If the collector temperature T1 reaches
the value of TCOLcr, then the collector pump will
be started (despite of reaching TsDHW
temperature). It is aimed to reduce the
collector’s temperature. It will be stopped, when
T1 drops below T1<TCOLcr-HP1, or if the
reservoir temperature at T2 sensor reaches the
value of TDHWmax.
