Danger:
If
there
is
only
one
temperature
sensor
in
water
storage
(usually
in
bottom
part
T2),
it
is possible,
and that
the
auxiliary
heating
function
will
not
be
activated
or
deactivated
at
a
right
time,
because
the
water
temperature
in
top
part
of
the
storage
(T3)
cannot
be
measured.
In
this
case,
if
you
still
want
to
use auxiliary
heating
function,
control
program
will
automatically
take
the
signal
from
bottom
temperature
sensor

error.
The following table explains the error messages and corresponding handling indication. Most of the
problems can be found in the list below.
No.
Familiar problem Possible reason Solution
1 Pump works but no flow rate
displays. There is probably too much air
in the pipeline. Replenish heat medium liquid
and exhaust the air.
Storage reaches max. temp. When storage temperature
drops, pump starts working.
2 System has temp. difference
but pump doesn’t work. Solar collector reaches its max.
temp.. When collector temperature
drops, pump starts working.
3 Pump doesn’t work, and the
signal “ ” blinks.
There is probable broken circuit
or short circuit with temperature
sensors.
Check the sensor wiring and
replace sensors if necessary.
Auxiliary heating is forbidden. Activate it manually.
4 Auxiliary heating doesn’t work. Temperature sensor has broken
circuit or short circuit. Check sensor connection and
make the wiring again.
5 Auxiliary heating still operates
at 23:00. Anti-bacteria function starts up.
It’s normal.
