Page 3: Application / Characteristics And Features
Application / characteristics and features 1.1 Description and application The Sunny Scout BASIC fs controllers are powerful microprocessor appliances for the accurate control of solar systems. They are suitable for most types of south fac- ing solar thermal systems These solar controllers are for use in either residential, business or industrial premis- es and should be mounted in dry spaces. -

Controller installation The controller MUST be installed only in dry, non 3.1 Opening the controller explosive locations. Installation should NOT be made onto Prior to opening the device, make sure to disconnect the power supply and ensure combustible materials. that it cannot be switched back on again. The top cover is held in place by two catches on the base which can be unlocked by pulling apart the sides of the top cover (see the picture). -
Page 5: Electrical Connection - Overview
3.3 Electrical connection - overview For 230V~ connections please note the following points: ◼ I The mains supply voltage to the controller should be provided by a switched FCU with a 3 amp rated fuse. ◼ Controllers are intended use with 230V~ /50Hz mains. All pumps and valves should be similarly rated. -

Controller functions 7.1 General controller functions The storage tank is charged through the pump on output A1 up to its adjusted maximum temperature as long as the collector temperature is higher by a pre-set temperature than the storage tank temperature. Monitoring and protection func- tions ensure safe operation. -
Page 11: System Protection
7.2.3 System protection If the collector temperature exceeds the collector protection temperature (see 7.2.2) by 10K, the solar circuit pump is turned off to protect the system compo- nents. As soon as the temperature falls below this value the system is started again. This function comes into effect no matter if the collector protection is activated or not. -
Page 12: Failure Repair
Failure repair There are two different categories of system failures to be found: ◼ failures which can be recognised and indicated by the controller itself by dis- playing an error ◼ failures which cannot be recognised by the controller 9.1 Failures with an error messages Error representa- Possible reasons Measures... -

Page 15: Terms Of Guarantee
12 Terms of guarantee The Sunny Scout BASIC fs controllers are carefully manufactured and tested as part of their production. Should any failures occur, check first for any operational, adjust- ment or system errors, as part of this investigation the solar pump and temperature sensor connections must also be checked. - Page 16 Operating manual for Sunny Scout BASIC fs 1316BED100-10B-E, 02/2012...
