Operation E.1. - Display and input The display (1), with its extensive text and graphics mode, is almost self-explanatory, allowing easy operation of the controller. To change from the overview to the settings menu, press the „esc“ key. The green status LED (2) lights up when a relay is active, the red LED blinks when an error occurs.
Operation E.2. - Commissioning help The fi rst time the controller is turned on and after the language and time are set, a query appears as to whether you want to parametrise the controller using the commissioning help or not. The commissioning help can also be terminated or called up again at any time in the special functions menu.
Operation E.4. - Menu sequence and menu structure The graphics or overview mode appears when no key has been press for 2 minutes, or when the main menu is exited by pressing “esc“. The up and down buttons are used to scroll through the list of sensors and relays .
Measurement values 1. - Measurement values The menu “1. Measurement values” serves to display the currently measured temperatures. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit measurement values”. Selecting “Overview” or “esc” exits the Info mode. If “--” appears on the display instead of the measurement value, then there may be a defective or incorrect temperature sensor.
Operating modes 3. - Operating modes In menu “3. Operating modes” the controller can either be placed in automatic mode, switched off, or placed in a manual operating mode. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit operating modes”. 3.1.
Settings 4. - Settings The necessary basic settings required for the control function are made in menu “4. Settings”. This does not under any circumstances replace the safety facilities to be provided by the customer! Caution The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit settings”.

Settings 4.17. - Increase Extension of the charging pause due to temperature increase in the collector For precise setting of the charging priorities for systems with multiple storage tanks, the necessary temperature increase of the collector at which the interruption of the charging into the lower-priority storage tank is extended by one minute is set here.
Protective functions 5.3. - Recooling In hydraulic systems with solar when the recooling function is activated excess energy from the storage tank is fed back into the collector. This only takes place if the temperature in the storage tank is higher than the value “Recool Tsetpoint”...
Special functions 6. - Special functions Menu “7. Special functions” is used to set basic items and expanded functions. Other than the time all settings may only be made by a specialist. Caution The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit special functions”.
Special functions 6.3. - Speed control R1 / R2 With speed control the LTDC makes it possible to vary the speed of connected pumps. This function should only be activated by a specialist. Depending on the pump and pump stage used, the minimum speed should not be set too low, because otherwise the pump or the system may be damaged.
Special functions 6.3.4. - max. speed The maximum speed of the pump is specifi ed here. During the setting the pump runs at the specifi ed speed and the fl ow rate can be determined. Settings range: 70% to 100% / Default setting: 100% The indicated percentages are guide values that may vary to a greater or lesser extent depending on the system, pump and pump stage.
Special functions 6.6. - Relay functions The here explained additional functions can be assigned to unused relays. Every additional function can only be used once. Pay special attention to the technical data of the relays („B.1. - Specifications“ on page 6). The enumeration does not correspond to the controllers menu enumeration.
Special functions 6.6.2. - Thermostat Thermostat is used for time- and temperature controlled additional heating. Settings range: On, Off, Inverted Temperature values which are set too high can lead to scalding or damage to the system. Scalding protection must be provided by the customer! Danger! In Energy savings mode, different settings may apply, see e.g.
