Solar Charging
The solar circulation pump is switched on and off by means
of a temperature difference control. The sensors T1 (collec-
tor) und T2 (tank, bottom) are required as control elements.
The on/off conditions and the temperature limitation can
be variably set in the settings menu. Note: The temperature
limitation always affects sensor T2 (tank, lower half).
Speed Control
The solar circulation pump can be controlled via speed
control (in this case impulse packet control). This means
that individual sine half-waves in the alternate current are
switched on or off depending on the temperature differ-
ence. Therefore the speed can be altered within a range of
30-100 % which results in longer system run times. The min-
imum speed can be custom set.
Sensor T3 (tank, upper half)
SensorT3 (tank, upper half) is a measuring sensor which in-
dicates the temperature in the upper tank area. It has no
switch function and is not monitored by the diagnostics
system.
Balance Values
In addition to the actual values of the sensors T1 (collector)
and T2 (tank,lower half) the display also shows balance val-
ues which represent the min. and max. temperature values
for each sensor. When reset the current actual temperature
value is displayed.
Manual Operation
Manual operation allows to manually switch input and out-
put channels on or off. On exiting the manual operation
menu, the software returns to automatic operation. The
manual operation menu can be used for a maximum of
8 hours. After that the software automatically switches back
to automatic operation in the information menu.
Manual Lag Function
In order to check the temperature values in the information
menu, even when the output channels are set manually, a
time lag has to be selected in the manual lag function of the
manual operation menu. After exiting the manual opera-
tion menu this time span passes once and then is set back
to zero.In this mode a blinking symbol for the manual oper-
ation is shown in the information menu.
Collector Cooling
The tank is loaded up to the preset temperature limitation
which affects sensor T2 (tank, bottom). If the preset temper-
ature limitation is exceeded output A1 (solar circulation
pump) switches off.If the temperature of T1 (collector) then
rises above the selectable standard value of 110 °C the so-
lar circulation pump is switched on in order to cool the col-
lector. It switches off again when the temperature at the col-
lector sensor has decreased by 10 K.
This type of intermittent operation of the solar circulation
pump means, that the collector is never or only rarely in
an idle state. If the preset tank temperature limitation is
exceeded by 5 K, the collector cooling function is sup-
pressed. The system shuts down completely.
Tank Cooling
Tank cooling means that if necessary the tank temperature
can be reduced to a preset lowest switch-off value (e.g. set-
ting for vacations).
When the collector cooling function is activated tank cool-
ing will also become active.
In order for tank cooling to become active the following 3
conditions must be met:
1. Temperature T2 (tank, lower half) must be higher than or
equal to the preset tank temperature limitation plus 2 K.
2. Temperature T2 (tank, lower half) must be higher than
the preset switch-off value for tank cooling.
3. Temperature T1 (collector) must be lower than tempera-
ture T2 (tank, lower half) minus 10 K.
In order for tank cooling to switch off one of the following 2
conditions must be met:
1. Temperature T2 (tank, lower half) is lower than the
switch-off value for tank cooling.
2. Temperature T1 (collector) must be higher than tempera-
ture T2 (tank, lower half) minus 2 K.
Vacuum Tube Collector Function
The vacuum tube collector function allows operation of the
solar heating system even if sensor T1 (collector) is in-
stalled in the connecting pipe of the collector. If the tem-
perature increase at sensor T1 exceeds the preset switch-
on value for the collector temperature increase (standard:
1 K) the solar circuit pump is switched on for the duration of
a preset lag time (standard: 15 s).
During this time the switch-on difference and the solar
charge between sensor T1 (collector) and sensor T 2 (tank,

EN-SUNGO-S_BA-0804-1122P200 3
thyristors switch through the positive or negative sine half-
wave as long as a switch-on difference exists. The triac
switch switches off when the temperature falls below the
switch-off difference.
System Protection
In order to protect system components like solar circulation
pump, 2-/3 way valves etc. that are installed in the solar cir-
cuit against excess temperatures, solar charging is stopped
entirely as soon as a set temperature limit is exceeded at
sensor T1 (collector), even when charging would still be
possible due to the temperature difference between sen-
sor T1 (collector) and sensor T2 (storage cylinder).
The standard temperature value to activate the system pro-
tection is set at 135 °C. However, it is possible to set a vari-
able value between 115 °C and 200 °C.
lower half) has to be activated,otherwise the solar circula-
tion pump will switch off again.
The rise in temperature at sensor T1 (collector) is measured
again immediately after the last runtime of the pump.
System Messages
The system messages for interrupted or shorted-out sen-
sors are represented by symbols on the display.
Triac
The Triac is an electronic on/off switch for the 230V outputs
of the SUNGO controllers.
Function: A triac switch consists of 2 diodes which can be
switched anti-parallel (= antiparallel thyristors). The

2. General Safety Guidelines
The following safety advice is designed to protect you from
dangers that can arise from improper handling of devices,
whether intentional or otherwise. A distinction is made be-
tween general advice presented here and specific advice
presented throughout the guidelines. Watch out for the
symbols!
DANGER for danger to the person
Improper electrical installation of the device can lead to
potentially fatal electric shocks as well as other health
hazards.
CAUTION for danger to property
This symbol indicates dangers that can result in damage to
the components or the function of the control.
NOTE for additional information
This symbol indicates practical advice and tricks of the
trade which will be useful for installing and operating the
control.
2.1 Installer’s Qualifications
●Setting up, installation and commissioning of the
SUNGO S must be carried out by a qualified installer.
●Please ensure that you comply with national and local
regulations.
●Please note that if a complaint is made, the guarantee is
only valid if the correct commissioning has been certi-
fied by a qualified person in the commissioning report.
2.2 Use and Application
Function
●Controlling solar thermal systems through the selection
of applicable control patterns and additional functions
to adapt the control for the required operation of the hy-
draulic system.
●The control is certified for use in dry rooms only.
●The control can either be integrated into the solar circu-
lation unit or it can be mounted on the wall.
Limitations of use
●The control‘s suitability should be checked before oper-
ation commences if it is used for any other purpose than
for control‘s suitability solar thermal systems. If you are
unsure you must check withthe service of Wagner & Co.
●The use of the control for non-specified operation re-
sults in a lapse of the guarantee.
2.3 Guidelines for Installation and
Operation
●Because Triacs carry 230V current at the case, the mains
must be disconnected while any installation and wiring
work is carried out.
●The mains must be connected to the control via an exter-
nal ON/OFF switch outside the solar circulation unit. This
is also necessary in order to be able to activate the “Spe-
cial Function” menu through ON and OFF switching.
●Operating temperatures above 50 °C are not permissi-
ble for the control.
●LCD display panels are designed in such a way that a
specific reading position is required.When installing the
solar circulation unit be careful to place the display so
that it is at eye level or slightly higher. This way you can
ensure optimal display contrast (for SUNGO S and SL).
●The base of the control is divided into a low voltage sec-
tion and a 230 V section by a crosspiece. Make sure that
you do not confuse these.
●Automatic mode is the default operation mode of the
control. Manual mode is only used for testing the differ-
ent components like the pump and two/three-way valve.
●The system must not be operated if damage to the con-
trol, the wiring or the mains is detected.
●The control is fitted with a low-current fuse.
●Collectors and pipe work become very hot during sunny
periods. There is a risk of scalding when fitting the col-
lector temperature sensor.
3. Installation
3.1 Installation of the Case
Open the casing
●You require no tools to open the control. The lid snaps
into the lower half. You can dislodge and lift up the lid by
pulling gently on the side clips.
●The lid arrests automatically when fully opened to allow
for comfortable mounting and wiring.
Wall mounting
●Using the supplied drilling template drill out the fixing
holes for the control.
●Mount the control to the wall.
●Tighten screws only as far as necessary. Over-tightening
may damage the casing!

EN-SUNGO-S_BA-0804-1122P200 5
Installation in the Solar Circulation Unit
●Affix the SUNGO S with the appropriate screws to the
wall mounting bracket of the solar circulation unit.
●Open up the cable ducts next to the centre crosspiece in
the bottom of the control.
●Remove outer insulation of the cables in such way that
single isolated wires start as they enter the casing from
the bottom.
●Hold the connectors with one hand while tightening the
screws in order to minimise pressure on the circuit board
and to avoid tearing the connectors off.
●Last connection should be to mains.
●If power is switched on now, 230V AC will be present on
the casing of the triacs.
3.2 Connecting Wires
Layout of the SUNGO S connections
All connections are made to the circuit board at the bottom
of the control. On the right hand side you will find the con-
nections for the sensors (low voltage area) while on the left
hand side you will find the connections for mains and
switching output A1.
General connection rules
●If flexible wires are used and the controller is fitted to the
wall, wires must be tied externally in such way that strain
to the controller is avoided.
●In this case you must tin or crimp the wire ends.
●If required PG9 screws can be fixed at the feed-throughs
if the control is mounted to the wall.
230 V mains connection
●Mains power is connected from outside the connector
via an ON/OFF switch.
If the unit is connected with a plug to a socket, the switch
can be omitted.
●The unit is designed to work with 230V AC/50Hz. Please
check that your pump has compatible specifications.
●All earth wires are connected to the PE-connectors.
●The neutral terminals (N) are connected electrically.
●Switch output A1 is a 230 V normally open contact which
is activated via speed-control.
Connecting the temperature sensors
●The wires for the temperature sensors can be extended:
Up to 15 m length = 2 x 0.5 mm² cable can be used; up to
50m=2x0.75 mm² cable is necessary.
For long connections it is recommended to use shielded
cable.
Do not connect the shielding at the sensor end, just trim
and isolate!
●Temperature sensors are without polarity and can be
connected any way.
●Sensor wires must be installed away from mains carrying
cables.
Lightning protector module
The SUNGO S is fitted with spike protection on all sensor
terminals. Generally, further protection of the cylinder sen-
sors is not required.
Sensor T1 (collector) requires installation of sensor con-
nection box SP2 with excess voltage protection.
