Safety requirements
These instructions are intended exclusively for authorised contractors.
All installation and wiring work on the controller must only be carried out in
a zero volt state.
The opening, connection and commissioning of the device may only be
carried out by competent personnel. While doing so, they must observe all
local safety requirements.
This device is state of the art and meets all necessary safety regulations. It may only be used in ac-
cordance with the technical data and the safety requirements and regulations listed below. When
using the device, also observe the statutory and safety regulations apposite to the particular use.Any
other use will automatically void all warranty rights.
►The device must only be installed in a dry interior room.
►It must be possible to isolate the controller from the mains using an omnipolar isolating facility
(plug/socket or 2-pole isolator).
►Before starting installation or wiring work, the controller must be completely isolated from the mains
and protected against reconnection. Never interchange the safety low voltage connections (e.g.
sensor connections) with the 230 V connections. Destruction and life threatening voltages at the
device and the connected sensors may occur.
►Solar thermal systems can become very hot. Consequently there is a risk of burns. Proceed with
caution when fitting temperature sensors.
►For safety reasons, the outputs should only be left in manual mode when testing. In this operating
mode, no maximum temperatures or sensor functions are monitored.
►Safe operation is no longer possible if the controller or connected equipment exhibits visual dam-
age, no longer functions or has been stored for lengthy periods in unsuitable conditions. If this is
the case, disable the controller and equipment and secure against unintentional use.
Maintenance
If treated and used correctly, the device will not require any maintenance. Use a cloth moistened with
mild alcohol (such as methylated spirits) to clean. Never use corrosive cleaning agents or solvents
such as chloroethylene or trichloroethylene.
No components relevant to long term accuracy are subject to loading if the device is used correctly.
Consequently long term drift is extremely low. The device therefore cannot be calibrated. Thus apply-
ing any compensation is impossible.
The design characteristics of the device must not be changed during repairs. Spare parts must corre-
spond to the original spare parts and must be used in accordance with the build version.
Function mode
This unit is a very compact control system that has many applications for solar warm water and heat-
ing systems and for pumps and valves used in such systems.
The 16 sensor signals pass through overvoltage protection, a low-pass filter, and the multiplexer
before they reach the processor's A/D transformer. An adjustable reference is used to calculate the
value of the measurement signal. In addition, the computer periodically checks all of the operator's
controls, describes the display, and handles the CAN bus.
Once the temperatures have been calculated and links set, the power driver switches the respective
outputs. To prevent a loss of data, the device has nonvolatile memory (EEPROM) and a super ca-
pacitor (for around three days) for reserve power.

Planning basics
To ensure efficient programming, the following order has to be observed:
1 The basic condition of writing the desired controller functions and its parameterizing is an
accurate hydraulic diagram!
2 This diagram must show what should be regulated and how.
3 The sensor positions are to be defined according to the desired controller functions and
drawn into the diagram.
4 The next step consists in providing all sensors and “consumers” with the desired input or
output numbers. As all the sensor inputs and outputs have different characteristics, it is not
possible to provide consecutive numbers. Therefore, the input and output assignment must be
made according to the following description:
Inputs:
All 16 inputs are suitable for standard sensors of the types KTY (2 k) and PT1000 or for
digital inputs. In addition, the following inputs have special functions:
S8: Current loop (4 – 20 mA) or control voltage (0 - 10V=)
S15, S16: Pulse input, such as for volume flow encoder
Signal voltages of more than 5 V at the inputs S1 to S7 and S9 to S16 or more than 10 V at
S8 are not allowed.
Outputs (supply voltage side):
A1 - A3: Relay output (closer) for undefined consumers
A4: Relay output with opener and closer for undefined consumers, preferably for valves
without retracting spring. A4 combined with A3 is also suitable for mixer motors.
A5: Relay output – potential-free with opener and closer for burner demand with the
legally prescribed distance to the supply voltage.
A8, A9: Relay outputs (closer) for undefined consumers, preferably together with mixer
engines, as only one commonly used neutral conductor clamp is available for both
outputs
A10, A11: Relay outputs (A10 with closer, A11 with opener and closer) for undefined con-
sumers, preferably together with mixer engines, as only one commonly used neu-
tral conductor clamp is available for both outputs
Outputs (protective low voltage side):
Hirel 1, 2: Control lines for a relay module for two other relay outputs A12 and A13.
DL (14): DL bus as bus link for various sensors and/or for data recording via data logger to
a PC. This connection is not only able to be used through the parameterization but
also to activate an additional relay.
0-10 V / PWM (A15, A16): Control output with a standardized voltage level of 0 to 10 V e.g. for
boiler modulation. Switchable to PWM (level approx. 10 V, 2 kHz). Referred to as
analogue output in the user software.
5 Now the calling of the functions and its parameterizing is effected.

Basic standards
Basic operation
Display
The display consists of four information fields
The top line constantly provides information about the actual output states.
Blank field instead of number 5 = output five has not yet been parameterized
Output five is active, runs in automatic mode and is temporarily switched off
Output five is active, runs in automatic mode and is temporarily switched on
Output five is active, runs in manual mode and is temporarily switched off
Output five is active, runs in manual mode and is switched on at the moment
The second line is the headline for the following menu and/or parameter lines.
The middle display area is the operative range. Within this range the programming, parameterizing
and indicating takes place.
The lowest line exclusively serves to mark the two keys below in order to be able to assign different
functions to it.
Keys
The control unit has two keys below the display. They are constantly assigned with the required func-
tions via the display.
x10 – The changeable value changes for 10 steps each per increment of the scroll wheel.
BROWSE – This function allows the direct “switch" from one menu level to the same level of the next
menu by means of the scroll wheel
MENU – To switch from the opening image (after starting-up) to the menu
SERVICE – To switch from the function overview (the most important menu for the user) into all other
menus
BACK – The PC switches immediately into the next-higher menu level
CANCEL - The current entry or change of a value is stopped

Basics
7
Scroll-wheel
By means of the scroll-wheel, the selected menu can be gone through by the right pointer in the
display. Small upward or downward showing arrows symbolize the possibility of further menu lines
above or below the visible display range.
If a parameter is to be changed, the pointer must be put in the desired position. Press the wheel to
change the background lighting of the scroll wheel frame to orange to indicate programming. Now the
value can be adjusted using the wheel (possibly also with "* 10"). You may cancel at any time by
pressing CANCEL. Press the wheel again to turn the screen light green and take over the parameter.

User – This menu permits the adjustment of the control level, the indication contrast and the back-
ground lighting as well as the entrance into a so-called “User interface editor”, which allows the crea-
tion of an own menu surface.
Date / Time – to set the date and time. It is also possible to switch between normal time and summer
time.
Measurement overview – to display all measured values and network inputs in a table.
Function overview – All important information and parameters (e.g.: ambient temperature) of the
determined function modules are written by the programmer (specialist) in an editor (“User interface
editor”) and displayed here clearly. The computer switches automatically to this overview after a few
minutes, since it is the most important control panel for the user.
Inputs - This menu offers an exact overview of all input values. Furthermore, parameters for all inputs
are set here. For details, see chapter “Menu Inputs”.
Outputs - for the complete parameterizing and manual operation of all outputs. For details, see chap-
ter “Menu Outputs”.

DISPLAY: Brightness – The display has a background lighting, which is integrated in the circuit so
that it does not need additional energy. The attenuation of the 12V relays to the 5V computer tension
in many devices is transformed into heat, but in case of the UVR1611 also into light! Thus disconnect-
ing does not save energy. The intensity of the background lighting is variable and can be switched off
after an adjustable time, while no control element is used.
DISPLAY: Automatic changeover to Function overview– In the user surface the most important
information for the user is listed in an overview of functions. This command can be used to activate an
automatic switch when no control element has been used for several minutes.
DATE / TIME: Automatic changeover standard / summer time - This command allows the auto-
matic switching between summer and standard time.
Time since leaving the expert level: - A negligent passing on of the expert key number often leads
to changing of important parameters and linkages by unauthorized persons. This function allows you
to check.
USER INTERFACE EDITOR: Opens an editor menu to program the dialogue (the overview of func-
tions) between control unit and user (only for “expert”).
USER BLOCK: Parameter – If set to yes, the user is not allowed to change any of the parameters
(exception: function overview, all parameters in the user menu and outputs (MANUAL / AUTO)).
USER BLOCK: Outputs – If set to yes, if set to yes, the output conditions can also no longer be
changed by the user.
USER BLOCK: MENU – if set to yes, user and technician now only have access to the function over-
view and the user menu (switching using the left key). After logging in as an expert, it is possible, to
go to the main menu from the function overview by pressing the "SERVICE" key.
SIMULATION:option to activate the simulation mode (in expert mode only):
no average determination of the outside temperature in heating circuit control
inputs defined as PT1000 sensors are measured as KTY
no evaluation of a room sensor
The simulation mode is ended automatically when closing the expert level.
CHANGE EXPERT CODE TO: - Change the ex-works key number. Without knowledge of this num-
ber no read-out of the program (function data) is possible later on.
Under normal conditions, the control unit automatically returns to the user mode two hours after the
last key actuation. Since this is unwanted in devices used for programming or test purposes, the key
number 0 0 0 0 blocks the resetting.
WARNING: The loss of the selected key number can only be cancelled by resetting to the factory
setting – under complete loss of the function data.

In other words, the temperature at sensor 1 is 60.3°C; the one at sensor 2 is 27.6°C, etc.
If there is a network connection to other devices, the analogue values and digital conditions of the
defined network inputs are subsequently displayed too.
In the example, network input 1 (=digital input 1) is in the "OFF" state, network input 2 is in the "ON"
state, network input 17 (= analogue input 1) is equal to 25.4°C and network input 18 is equal to
10.6°C.

MENU Function overview
All of the function modules offer a wide range of information, measurement values, and parameters
that can be viewed via the menu "Functions." To give users a quick overview of the main settings,
experts can use the "user interface editor" to display all of the information that users need to see from
all the menus. This information later appears in the menu "Function overview." Only the most im-
portant information and parameters should be entered in the menu "Function overview," and other-
wise the overview would simply be too long. In other words, this menu is by far the most important
interface to users.
The following display is an example of the system with one heater circulation, one heat meter and a
DHW demand function:

The controller automatically switches from any menu to the function overview when it is switched on
or if no operator's control is used for a few minutes, provided that the automatic option has been
activated in the user menu (recommended).
Code for Technicians:
In order to enable all of the setting parameters, open the function "User" in the device’s basic menu
and then select "Technician". Enter the product of 26as the code!

Menu Function overview

The user interface editor
To keep the dialogue between users and the controller as simple as possible, an overview menu is
automatically provided to present the most essential information that users need to know from the
wide array of information available. The FUNCTION OVERVIEW serves that purpose in this device.
Experts can use the "user interface editor" at any time to create this overview. The dialogue is com-
plicated in accordance with the scope of information as to cover; the PC user interface TAPPS
simplifies it. We recommend that you use it in any case to provide an easy-to-follow overview of the
most important information that users need.
The command can be found under the entry "USER INTERF. EDIT" in the menu USER. Once the
menu is open, the cursor will be to the left of the display. Press the scroll wheel to open it and then
select from the following commands:
S... A source can be entered in the following dialogue for the entry. The first entry from a "source"
always begins with this command. The next source command closes the previous one and
opens a new one.
A... If the value in the following entry can be changed, users may also make these changes. User
area A
B… --- " --- User area B
C… --- " --- User area C
T... If the value in the following entry can be changed, only technicians but not users may make
these changes.
E... If the value in the following entry can be changed, experts may make these changes. Only
experts and technicians can see this entry, which is hidden for users.
>... Enter lines. About your current position (line), information is to be entered. The number of lines
must be entered.
<... Delete lines. Information in and below your current line is to be deleted. The number of lines
must be entered.
-... Empty line that only appears in the editor; and entry can be made here at any point.
User areas A, B, and C are only important if you are using the CAN monitor. For the unit itself, it does
not matter whether the entry is made with A, B, or C.
Assumption: A house with three apartments (three heating circuits in one control unit), each of which
has its own CAN monitor:
Each of the three parties should only be able to access its own heating circuit; therefore, the first
heating circuit is programmed for user area A in the function overview, while the second one is pro-
grammed for B and the third one for C. Experts can set the user level (such as A) on the CAN moni-
tor. This ensures that user A only sees that heating circuit on the CAN monitor.

Menu Function overview

Programming example:
The example in the function overview we will start with is the date, the time (both of which users can
change), and the collector temperature. Enter the command S(source). Now, the display shows:
S User
User is a special feature as it does not have anything to do with commands or entries and is the only
source information that does not produce a heading. It only serves as an indication of the date and
time (summertime, wintertime). Enter A in the next line after you have entered the source of the in-
formation. Now the user can change the value. The current date will immediately be displayed.
S User
A Fr. 24.04.2009
When Ais entered in the next line, the date appears again. It can be set to summertime or wintertime,
depending on the date. Now, the current time appears in the function overview next term (such as
summertime). Now, the display shows:
S User
A Fr. 24.04.2009
A Summertime:
Use the command Sto enter the collector temperature, but instead of User enter Input, and this in-
formation is in the input menu:
S User
A Fr. 24.04.2009
A Summertime:

Every time the command Sis entered, the function overview displays a new bar across the width of
the display indicating the new function along with a heading (in this example: input). Tis in entered in
the next line to set the collector temperature. It does not matter whether A, Eor Tis selected for
information that cannot be changed, such as collector temperature. In case of doubt (can it really not
be changed?), select T.

Tips and tricks
The commands Delete < and Insert > acquire the inputs of the number of lines.
The overview is all the more useful for users if the information is provided in a proper se-
quence. Begin with the functions for maintenance and control of the heater.
Each source command Sinserts a separation bar in the function overview and the name of the
"source" and is used whenever information is to be added for an additional function. In other
words, S is always at the beginning of any function.
If no new source command is set, the only selection in the subsequent lines concerns infor-
mation for the previously inserted function.
Select a device input output to display the respective values automatically (temperature, au-
tomatic / manual) in the function overview as headings.
When entering outputs assigned to mixtures, proceed in descending order (such as makes or
8.9 before 8).
Entries of INPUT or OUTPUT VARIABLES are admissible and do help users reach this menu
directly in the function overview, but do not provide users with any truly valuable information.
In other words, they can be confusing and should not be used. In addition,
With any function is called (via S), the heading of the selected function that allows the user a
direct entrance into the function is always automatically entered in the overview. Users can
thus reach all the areas of the selected function from the overview.
All of the entries concerned are automatically deleted when the expert deletes this function in
the menu Functions or turns it into a different function.
A set monitoring function of the system from the “messages” module is always entered at the
start of the function overview, but only if it is actually active.
To make sure that the function overview truly provides an overview, you should only enter the
most important information.
Only a few parameters (mainly from the heating circuit control function) should be set by the
user. We thus recommend that you use command A(user may change value) sparingly.
Parameters that can be changed (set values) cannot be changed in the function overview (nor
in the functions themselves) if these set values are transferred from another function via
INPUT VARIABLE.
Users only see "one level up" -- in other words, the information stored with the commands A
(B, C) and T. Only experts see the information marked with E (expert), but experts are also not
able to change this information.

Menu Inputs

MENU Inputs
The menu "Inputs“ primarily serves as overview over the measured values of the inputs and/or sen-
sors. Furthermore, it allows the expert the parameterizing of all used inputs if employed the following
procedure:
The line “Inputs” has already been selected and then pressed the scroll-wheel. Hereby the indication
example is as follows:
1: T.collector
78.3 °C PAR?
The temperature of the collector is currently
78.3°C etc.
2: T.DHW1
45.8 °C PAR?
3: T.DHW2
61.2 °C PAR?
4: -----
unused PAR?
Input 4 has to be set before
In the above indication example the sensor inputs 1 to 3 were already defined by the expert, while the
input 4 is not yet fixed. In order to assign e.g. the cylinder sensor buffer, bottom to the input 4 the
arrow has to be induced to the corresponding entrance into the parameterizing level PAR by means of
the scroll-wheel. By pressing the wheel the entrance is effected and the indication "TYPE unused”
appears.
First, it has to be determined which basic characteristic (TYPE) the sensor owns. Possible selections:
unused = The input is not used
ANLG. = Temperature, ambient temp., radiation sensors and others
DIGITAL = Direct ON/OFF control input (possible at each input!) from another function or con-
nection of a potential-free switch contact between sensor connection and sensor earth
(no voltage)
IMPULSE = Volume flow encoder, wind sensor (only for the inputs 15.16)
After having selected the type (according to example ANALG.; as it represents the analogue meas-
ured variable "temperature") all available parameter lines are faded in.
Indication example:
TYPE: ANALG.
MEAS VAR: Temp.
DESIGNATOR
GROUP: General
DES: T.solar flow
SENSOR: Pt 1000
SENSOR CHECK: no
SENSOR CORR.: 0.0 K
AVERAGE: 1.0 sec
A temperature sensor has the measured variable Temp. which is already faded in. A radiation sensor
would need the measured value Solar rad..

Menu Inputs
18
In the next step the name (designator) Buffer, bottom is to be assigned to the input 4. To do so, su-
perset “designator groups” were specified such as General, Generator, Consumer, Line, Climate and
others. General is a group which had to be taken over from old operating systems (< A1.21). Many
names out of it are represented also in the other groups. T.buffer bott is put down in the group Con-
sumer.
When selecting the "designator“, the computer suggests different texts with sequential index up to 9
by scrolling forward. T.buffer bott2). Instead of the “0” the index is faded out (e.g.: T.Buffer.C). In
order to proceed quickly from one designator to the next, the key (x10) must be pressed at the same
time. According to our example we select T.Buffer.L.
Indication example:
TYPE: ANALG.
MEAS.VAR: Temp.

GROUP: Consumer
DES: T.buffer bott
SENSOR: Pt 1000
SENSOR CHECK: no
SENSOR CORR: 0.0 K
AVERAGE: 1.0 sec
Under "SENSOR“ the sensor type has to be specified. Possible selections are: RAS (KTY) or RASPT
(Pt1000) for the ambient temperature sensor, Pt 1000 for the standard temperature sensor and KTY
10.
If a short circuit and/or interruption occur, an active "SENSOR CHECK" issues automatically en error
message in the function overview.
If "SENSORCHECK" is active, the sensor status is also available: OFF for a correctly working sen-
sor and ON for a defective sensor (short circuit or circuit interruption). As the sensor status can also
be set as source of an input variable (see menu “Functions”), it is thereby possible to react according-
ly if e.g. the external sensor fails. The sensor status can optionally be selected for individual sensors
or for all sensors together ("sensor status 17").
If there is a “SENSOR CORR“ such as 0.5K and a measured temperature of 60.0°C, 60.5°C is indi-
cated. This corrected value is then used also internally for all calculations.
“AVERAGE“ means the temporal averaging of the measured values. Calculating a mean of 0.3 sec-
onds leads to an extremely rapid reaction of the display and the unit. However, this can be expected
to cause fluctuations of the value. A large mean slows everything down and is only recommended for
the sensors for the heat meter. For simple measurements, around 1 – 3- sec. should be selected, for
the provision of hygienic warm water with the ultra-speed sensor 0.3 – 0.5 sec.

Special abilities of the inputs
The inputs also permit as measured analogue variable Voltage including the necessary scaling. By
this the determination of the value range is to be effected.
For program reasons, the same configuration options are available with all inputs for the voltage
measurement value.
The following points must therefore be taken into account:
Inputs 1-7 and 9-16 can process a maximum voltage of 5 volts
The heat meter function cannot establish the flow rate for inputs 15 and 16 from a voltage
signal.
Input 8 also allows current and resistance as measurement.
The process values of voltage, current and resistance are processed as dimensionless values
(without decimal point).
Example:
TYPE: ANALG.
MEAS.VAR: Voltage
PROC VAR: Voltage
DESIGNATOR
GROUP: General
DES: Fill level
SCALING:
0.00 V : 0
10.00 V : 100
AVERAGE: 1.0 sec
Specification of the value range using scaling
The calculated voltage rate is averaged over 1 sec.
In addition, the inputs 15 and 16 are able to detect faster pulses (pulse duration min. of 50 ms, pause
of min. 50 ms). Thereby they are suitable as inputs for volume flow encoders.
The parameterizing of a pulse input leads to the following indication:
TYPE: IMPULSE
MEAS.VAR: Flow rate
DESIGNATOR
GROUP: General
DES: Flow rt sol
QUOTIENT: 0.5 l/Imp Per each 0.5 litres a pulse is received
AVERAGE: 1.0 sec The calculated flow rate is averaged over 1 sec
When selecting the measured variable Flow rate, also the “QUOTIENT” is to be entered. It describes
which flow rate creates a pulse. Some of the function modules such as the heat meter have the ability
to directly handle these pulses. The control unit calculates at the same time the effective flow rate as
number by putting together the received pulses, the quotient and the calculation of a mean. This
number is available as information also internally. All functions linked with pulse input decide inde-
pendently on which pulses or flow rate they want to receive as numerical value.

With “TYPE“ Pulse and “MEAS.VAR” Impulse there is also available a “DIVIDER” at the inputs 15
and 16. It indicates how many pulses have to arise at the input, so that a pulse is passed on to the
functions. Thus it is possible to realize a slow pulse meter in conjunction with a meter module. (see
“Functions”)
That leads to the following indication:
TYPE: IMPULSE
MEAS.VAR: Impulse
DESIGNATOR
GROUP: General
DES: Flow rt sol
DIVIDER: 10 Only each tenth pulse is passed on.
With “TYPE” pulse and “MEAS.VAR” Wind speed a “QUOTIENT” must also be stated for inputs 15
and 16. Here the frequency per one km/h must also be set.
Example: A wind sensor issues one pulse (=1Hz) per second at a wind speed of 20 km/h (= 1Hz).
Therefore, the frequency at one km/h is equal to 0.05Hz.
Connection of electronic sensors in version DL
Electronic sensors for temperature, pressure, humidity, differential pressure, etc. are also available in
the DL version. In this case, the supply and signal transmission takes place via the DL bus.
Due to the relatively high power requirement, the "bus load" must be considered:
The controller UVR 1611 has the maximum bus load, 100%. For example, the electronic sensor
FTS4-50DL has a bus load of 25%, therefore up to a max. 4 FTS4-50DL can be connected to the DL
bus. The bus loads of the electronic sensors are listed in the technical data of the respective sensors.
The advantage of this signal transfer lies in the fact that sensor inputs are not necessary, but rather
the information (signals) are transferred as a network variable as with the CAN bus (see: MENU
network/input variables).
