Operation Display and Input Display and input The display (1), with its extensive text and graphics mode, is almost self-explanatory, allowing easy operation of the controller. The LED (2) lights up green when a relay is switched on. The LED (2) lights up red when operating mode “Off”...
Operation Parametrisation 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 commis- sioning help can also be terminated or called up again at any time in the special functions menu.
Operation Menu sequence and menu structure The graphics or overview mode appears when no key has been pressed for 2 min- utes, or when the main menu is exited by pressing “esc“. Pressing a key in graphics or overview mode takes you directly to the main menu. The following menu items are then avail- able for selection there: Current temperature values with...
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 measurements ”. Selecting “Details” leads to a brief help text explaining the measurement values. Selecting “Overview”...
Statistics 2. Statistics The menu “2. Statistics” is used for function control and long-term monitoring of the sys- tem. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or select- ing “Exit statistics”. For analysis of the system data it is essential for the time to be set accurately on the controller.
Display mode 3. Display mode Menu “3. Display mode” is used to defi ne the controller’s display for normal opera- tion. This display appears whenever two minutes go by without any key being pressed. The main menu appears again when a key is pressed. The menu is closed by pressing “esc”...
Operating modes 4. Operating modes In menu “4. Operating modes” the con- troller 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”. 4.1 Automatic Automatic mode is the normal operating mode of the controller.
Settings 5. Settings The necessary basic settings required for the control function are made in menu “5. Settings”. This does not under any circum- stances replace the safety facilities to be provided by the customer! Caution The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit settings”.
Settings 5.3 T Switching condition: Temperature difference for relay R: If the temperature difference ∆T between the reference sensors is exceeded and the other conditions are also met, then the controller switches the pump/valve on. If the temperature difference between the reference sensors drops to ∆Toff, then the pump/ valve is switched off again.
Settings 5.5 Tref Th2 Reference temperature at sensor1 for thermostat 2 Heating = 1. value smaller than the 2. value If the temperature drops below Tref On (1. value) at sensor 2 and the thermostat func- tion is enabled, (see 5.7), the relay for additional heating is switched on till the tem- perature reaches Tref Off (2.
Settings 5.9 Energy saving mode Energy saving mode for the thermostat function In energy saving mode the additional heating via R2 is switched on at TecoS3 and heats up to Teco+hysteresis. When energy saving mode is active, but no solar heat is available, TsetS3 is used like in normal mode.
Protective functions 6. Protective functions Menu “6. Protective functions” can be used to activate and set various protective func- tions. This does not under any circum- stances replace the safety facilities to be provided by the customer! Caution The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or select- ing “Exit settings”.
Protective functions 6.3 System protection (solar only) priority protection System protection prevents overheating of system components by automatic shutdown of the solar pump. If “AS Ton” is exceeded at the collector, the pump is switched off. The pump is activated again when the temperature drops below “AS TOff”. Automatic shutdown - settings range: On / Off / Default: on AS Ton - settings range: 60 °C to 150 °C / Default: 120 °C AS Toff - settings range: 50 °C to Ton minus 5 °C / Default: 110 °C...
