Wall Installation 1. Unscrew cover screw completely. 2. Carefully pull upper part of housing from lower part. During the removal, the brackets are released as well. 3. Set upper part of housing aside Do not touch the electronics. 4. Hold the lower part of the housing up to the selected position and mark the three mounting holes.
Electrical Connection Before working on the unit, switch off the power supply and secure it against being switched on again! Check that there is no power flowing! Electrical connections may only be made by a specialist and in compliance with the applicable regulations.
Operation Display and Input The display‘s (1), extensive text and graphical mode, enables simple, almost self-explanatory, 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‘ is set. The LED (2) flashes quickly red when an error is present.
Commissioning help 1. Set language and time 2. Commissioning help / setup wizard a) select or b) skip. The setup wizard guides through the necessary basic settings in the cor- rect order. Each parameter is explained in the control display. Pressing the „esc“ key takes you back to the previous setting. b) With free commissioning the settings should be made in the following order: Menu 9.
2. Statistics Serve for function control and long-term monitoring of the system. For system data statistics it is essential for the time to be set accurately on the controller. Please note that the clock con- tinues to run for about 24 hours if the mains voltage is inter- rupted, and afterward must be reset.
3. Operating mode Automatic The automatic mode is the normal mode of the controller. A correct controller function under consideration of the current tem- peratures and the set parameters is only present in automatic mode! After an interruption of the mains voltage, the controller auto- matically returns to the last operating mode selected.
4. Settings By no means does the controller replace the safety appliances on site! Tmin S1 Enable/start temperature at sensor 1: If this value on the sensor 1 (collector sensor) is exceeded and the other conditions are not fulfilled, the controller will turn on the affiliated pump or the valve.
Example: if several storages or storage areas in your system are integrated, you can specify a priority for each sensor of the stor- age or the storage area. The "X" in the menu item priority S(X) indicates the sensor of the respective storage or storage area. The priority for the first storage is thus set under priority S2 and for the 2.
5. Protective Functions The 'Protective functions‘ can be used by specialists to activate and set vari- ous protective functions. By no means does the controller replace the safety appliances on site! System protection Priority protection function The system protection should prevent an overheating of the components installed in the system through the forced shut down of the solar circulation pump.
Collector alarm If this temperature at the collector sensor is exceeded when the solar pump is turned on, a warning or error notification is triggered. There is a corresponding warning in the display. Pressure Monitoring In this menu, the system pressure monitoring can be activated through a direct sensor. Once the set pressure conditions are exceeded, a message is generated and the LED flashes red.
Mode M2: The controller changes to the set min. speed after the Speed. If the temperature difference ∆T between the reference sensors is above the set switch on temperature difference ∆T R1, the speed will be increased. If the temperature difference ∆T between the reference sensors is below the set switch on temperature difference ∆T R1, the speed will be reduced.
Solar bypass Variant In this menu, you can set if the flow is guided through the bypass with a pump or a valve. Bypass sensor The reference sensor for the bypass function to be placed in the flow is selected in this menu. Thermostat Through the thermostat function, additional energy can be added to the system while being time and temperature controlled.
Periods Cooling release times Here the desired periods are set in which the cooling function is approved. For each weekday, three times can be specified, fur- thermore, you can copy individual day to other days. The cooling function is shut down outside of the set release times. Return flow increase With this function, for example, the return temperature of a heating circuit is increased through the storage.
As soon as it has heated up with “AL” turned on, information with the date will be shown in the display. This anti legionella function does not offer any secure protection against legionella, because the controller requires an adequate added amount of energy and the temperatures cannot be monitored in the entire storage area and the con- nected pipe system.
Switch off - difference: If this temperature difference is reached, the relay will switch off. DF-Source Heat source sensor/heat supplier for differential function Adjusts the sensor from the heat source. Diff. Tmin Minimum temperature on the source sensor for approval of the difference relay. If the temperature on the source sensor is below this value, the difference function will not be switched on.
The additional function error message activates the relay for certain events and only deactivates again when the information mes- sage to each event was read. Pressure monitor In this menu, the system pressure monitoring can be activated through a direct sensor. As soon as the set pressure conditions are undershot or exceeded, the set relay will switch on.
Room sensor Select the reference sensor for the room temperature. Room Reference (Night) Set room temperature for the night-time mode If the temperature is exceeded at the room sensor outside the set times, the relay will turn off. Room Reference (Day) Set room temperature for the daytime mode If the temperature is exceeded at the room sensor at the set times, the relay will turn off.
Sensor Calibration Deviations in the temperature values displayed, for example. due to cables which are too long or sensors which are not posi- tioned optimally can be compensated for manually here. The settings can be made for each individual sensor in steps of 0.5 °C. Settings are only necessary in special cases at the time of initial commissioning by the specialist.
You can find the address of the connector or respectively the data logger on the address sticker on the outside of the casing. Pointers and help on how to establish a connection you can find in the enclosed SOREL connect instructions or the instructions of the data logger.
7. Menu Lock Secure the controller against unintentional changing and compromise of basic functions. The menus listed below remain completely accessible despite the menu lock being activated, and can be used to make adjustments if necessary: 1. Measurement values 2. Statistics 3.
Malfunctions/Maintenance Replacing the Fuse Repairs and maintenance may only be performed by a specialist. Before working on the unit, switch off the power sup- ply and secure it against being switched on again! Check that there is no power flowing! Only use the supplied spare fuse or a fuse of the same design with the following specifications: 2 AT/250 VSOREL Art.
Additional Information External relay at signal output V(X) (0-10V / PWM) In order to use a 0-10V / PWM output as a 230V / AC switching output, an external switching relay (Art. No. 77502) can be con- nect at the output V (X) (V1, V2, ...). The external relay is then activated via the signal output (0V = "off", 10V = "on").
Appendix Pump In this menu, the preset profiles for the pump can be selected or under “manual” all settings can be done personally. The settings can still be changed after a profile has been selected. Profile Delete this text and replace it with your own. Output Signal In this menu, the type of pump is set: heating pumps have the greatest output with a small input signal, solar pumps in contrast have very little output with a small input signal.
Tips The service values include not only current measurement values and operating states, but also all of the settings for the controller. Write the service values down just once after commissioning has been successfully completed. In the event of uncertainty as to the control response or malfunctions the service values are a proven and successful method for remote diagnosis.
