The pump for the solar collectors won't switch on and the controller is showing the flashing triangle symbol.
The temperature on the collectors is high 125° and the store water is 19°.
Thanks.

2.4 System: Standard solar system with 1 store Sensor S3 can optionally be connected for measurement purposes. The controller calculates the temperature difference between collector sensor S1 and store sensor S2. If the difference is larger than or identical to the adjusted If heat quantity measurement (OHQM) is activated, S3 is to be used as the return switch-on temperature difference (DT O), the solar pump will be activated by the sensor.
