Electrical Connection
Before working on the unit, switch off the power supply and secure it against being switched on again! Check that there is no
power flowing! Electrical connections may only be made by a specialist and in compliance with the applicable regulations.
The unit may not be put into operation if there is visible damage to the housing, e.g. cracks.
The unit may not be accessible from behind.
Low-voltage cables such as temperature sensor cables must be routed separately from mains voltage cables. Feed tem-
perature sensor cables only into the left-hand side of the unit, and mains voltage cables only into the right-hand side.
The customer must provide an all-pole disconnecting device, e.g. an emergency heating switch.
The cables being connected to the unit must not be stripped by more than 55 mm, and the cable jacket must reach into the
housing just to the other side of the strain relief.

Installing the Temperature Sensors
The controller operates with Pt1000 temperature sensors which are accurate to 1 °C, ensuring optimal control of system functions.
If desired, the sensor cables can be extended to a maximum of 30 m using a cable with a cross-section of at least 0.75
mm². Ensure there is no contact resistance! Position the sensor precisely in the area to be measured! Only use immersion,
pipe-mounted or flat-mounted sensors suitable for the specific area of application with the appropriate permissible tem-
perature range.
Low-voltage cables such as temperature sensor cables must be routed separately from mains voltage cables. Feed tem-
perature sensor cables only into the left-hand side of the unit, and mains voltage cables only into the right-hand side.

Consider the explanations for the individual parameters on the following pages and check if further settings are necessary
for your application.
1. Measurement values
Serve to display the current measured temperatures.
If ‚error‘ appears on the display instead of the measurement value,
there may be a defective or incorrect temperature sensor.
If the cables are too long or the sensors are not well-placed, small
deviations in the measurement values may occur. In this case, the dis-
play values can be compensated by adjustments in the controller "
Sensor Calibration " on page 24. The selected program, connected
sensors and the specific model design determine which measurement
values are displayed.
14

2. Statistics
Serve for function control and long-term monitoring of the system.
For time-dependent functions such as circulation and anti-legionella
and the evaluation of system data, it is essential that the time is accur-
ately set on the controller. Please note that the clock continues to run
for about 24 hours if the mains voltage is interrupted, and afterward
must be reset. Improper operation or an incorrect time may result in
data being cleared, recorded incorrectly or overwritten. The man-
ufacturer accepts no liability for the recorded data!
Operating hours
Display of the operating hours of the consumers connected to the controller (for example, solar pumps, valves etc.) whereby different
time ranges (day-years) are available!
Avarage ΔT
Display of the average temperature difference between the reference sensors when the switched on consumers.
Heat quantity
Display of the consumed heat quantity form the system in kWh.
This is an indicative value.
Graphic overview
This results in a clear illustration of the data as a bar graph. Different time ranges are available for comparison. You can page through
with the two left keys.
Message Log
Display of the last 20 errors in the system with indication of date and time.
Reset / Clear
Resetting and clearing the selected statistics. Selecting ‚all statistics‘ clears everything except the messages.

In the overview mode, the measured temperatures and operating states of the connected consumers are displayed in text form.
Alternating
In alternating mode the schematic mode and then the overview mode are active for 5 seconds.
Eco Display Mode
In Eco Display Mode the backlight of the display is switched off if no buttons are pushed for 2 minutes.
If a message exists, the backlight does not switch off until the message has been scanned by the user.
16

4. Operating Mode
Auto
The automatic mode is the normal mode of the controller. A correct controller function under consideration of the current temperatures
and the set parameters is only present in automatic mode! After an interruption of the mains voltage, the controller automatically
returns to the last operating mode selected.
Manual
The individual relay outputs, v outputs and the connected consumers can be checked for proper functioning and correct assignment.
The operating mode ‚Manual‘ may only be used by specialists for brief function tests, e.g. during commissioning! Function in
manual mode: The relays and thus the connected consumers are switched on and off by pressing a key, with no regard to
the current temperatures and set parameters. At the same time, the current measurement values of temperature sensors are
also shown in the display for the purposes of function control.
Aus
If the operating mode “off” is enabled, all control functions are turned off. The measured temperatures are displayed for the
overview.
17

5. Settings
By no means does the controller replace the safety appliances on site!
Tmin S1
Enable/start temperature at sensor 1:
If this value on the sensor 1 (collector sensor) is exceeded and the other conditions are not fulfilled, the controller will turn on the affil-
iated pump or the valve. If the temperature on the sensor 1 falls 5 °C below this value, the pump or the valve will be turned off again.
Tmin S2
Switch off temperature at sensor 2:
If this value is exceeded on the sensor 2, the controller turn off the affiliated pump or the valve. If this value on the sensor 2 is undershot
and the other conditions are fulfilled, the controller will turn on the pump or the valve.
Temperature values which are set too high can lead to scalding or damage to the system. Scalding protection must be
provided by the customer!
In multiple storage systems, if the shut-down temperature S2 is exceeded, a downstream installed storage or storage area is switched
to.
ΔT R1
On/off temperature difference for solar charge through relay R1:
If the temperature difference ΔT Solar between the reference sensors S1 and S2 is exceeded and the other conditions are fulfilled, the
controller will turn on the pump on the relay R1. If the temperature difference falls to ΔT Off, the pump will be turned off.
If the set temperature difference is too small, this may lead to ineffective operation depending on the system and sensor pos-
itioning. For speed regulation (" Speed control " on page 23), special switch conditions apply!
Tset On
Reference temperature sensor 1
Heating mode = 1. Value smaller than 2. value,
Cooling mod = 1. Value bigger than 2. value.
If the set switch-on value (1. Value) at sensor 1 undershot and thermostat function is approved (see also 5.5), backup heating is
switched on until temperature exceeds value for switch off (2. Value).
Temperature values which are set too high can lead to scalding or damage to the system. Scalding protection must be
provided by the customer!
If sensor S2 is connected, S1 functions as a switch-on sensor and S2 as a switch-off sensor.
Tmax S1
Switch off temperature at sensor 1
If this value is exceeded on the sensor 1, the controller turn off the affiliated pump or the valve. If sensor 1 falls below this value again
and the other conditions are also met, then the controller switches the pump and/or valve on again.
18

Temperature values which are set too high can lead to scalding or damage to the system. Scalding protection must be
provided by the customer!
Thermostat periods
Here the desired periods are set in which the thermostat function is approved. For each weekday, three times can be specified, fur-
thermore, you can copy individual day to other days. The thermostat function is shut down outside of the set times.
Tmin Storage X
Switch off temperature at sensor S(X)
If this value is exceeded at sensor X then the controller switches the associated pump and/or valve off. If sensor (X) falls below this
value again and the other conditions are also met, then the controller switches the pump and/or valve on again.
Temperature values which are set too high can lead to scalding or damage to the system. Scalding protection must be
provided by the customer!
19

6. Protective Functions
The 'Protective functions‘ can be used by specialists to activate and set various pro-
tective functions.
By no means does the controller replace the safety appliances on site!
Seizing Protection
If the anti-seizing protection is activated (daily, weekly, off), the controller switches the outputs on/off at 12:00 noon for 5 seconds to pre-
vent seizing of the pump/valve after long periods of inactivity.
Frost Protection
If the temperature at the outdoor sensor falls below 1 °C, the solar pump is switched on when frost protection is activated . If the outdoor
temperature rises above 1 °C again, the frost protection function is switched off.
Switching the frost protection function off or setting the minimum flow temperature too low can lead to severe damage to the
system.
System protection
Priority protection function
The system protection should prevent an overheating of the components installed in the system through the forced shut down of the
solar circulation pump. If the value “AS Ton” on the collector has been exceeded for 1 Min. the pump will be turned off and not turn on
again in order to protect the collector, for example, from steam. The pump will only be switched on again, when the collector temperature
falls below “SP Toff”.
With the system protection (on), there are increased standstill temperatures in the solar collector and therefore an increased
pressure in the system. The operating manuals from the system components must be observed.
Collector protection
Priority protection function
The collector protection prevents the collector from overheating. A forced switching of the pump makes sure that the collector is cooled
through the storage. If the value “KS Ton” is exceeded on the collector, the pump will be turned on in order to cool the collector. The
pump is shut down if the value “KS Toff” on the collector is not met or the value “KS Tmax Sp.” on the storage is exceeded.
System protection has priority over collector protection! Even if the switch requirements for the collector protection are present,
the solar circulation pump is turned off once “AS T on” is reached. Normally the values from the system protection (depending
on the maximum temperature of the storage or other components) are higher than the collector protection.
Collector alarm
If this temperature at the collector sensor is exceeded when the solar pump is turned on, a warning or error notification is triggered.
There is a corresponding warning in the display.
Recooling
In the system hydraulics with solar, excess energy is guided from the storage back to the collector with an activated return cooling func-
tion. This only occurs if the temperature in the storage is greater than the value “Return cooling Tref” and the collector is at least 20 °C
colder than the storage and until the storage temperature has fallen below the value “Return cooling Tref”. For muti-storage systems, the
return cooling applies to all storage.
