Controller description The G422 controller is a device designed and made for controlling solar collector systems. The product has been made with the use of modern and reliable microprocessor technology. Design of the controller is modern and the controller itself is very user-friendly thanks to the use of a user panel with a clear keyboard and an LCD display.

Switching on and using the controller 3.1 First switch on of the controller Upon connecting the controller to a power source it will be switched on in the stand-by mode and a diode will get lit. In this mode the LCD display gets slightly back-lit and the current controller software version appears on the screen.

4.1 Tap water heating system - controlling solar collector pump – scheme no 1 Controlling the P collector pump - Regulation of collectors’ pump – scheme no 1 The P collector pump will be switched on if the T1 solar collector gets hotter by the “Temp. T1&T2 difference - pump ON” value than the T2 temperature in the lower part of the heater.

Controlling the U three-way valve. The three-way valve will be switched into the A heater direction if the T2 temperature at the collector heater gets higher by the “Temperature difference ON add. pump, valve” value than the T4 temperature in the circulation return. The valve will switch into the direction of A heater if the difference in temperatures (T2-T4) falls below the set value. Else, circulation return will always be directed to the B boiler heater.

ATTENTION ! Time intervals are divided into 24h operation periods, settings for each hour are selected separately by marking it with a white square. The number of squares marks the number of operation hours. Week days have been divided into three groups: Monday - Friday (Mo-Fr), Saturday (Sat), Sunday (Sun). 5.3 Circulation parameters This option allows for setting all parameters connected with the operation of the tap water circulation pump.

Pump efficiency Minimum Nominal Flow [l/min] Fig. 22. Graphical representation of flow settings. ATTENTION ! If after entering the minimum flow rate option, there is no flow shown by rotameter float, it is recommended to increase the speed of the pump. Nominal and minimum flow rate settings are only relevant when P collector pump adjustment is switched on.

10. Vacation function Vacation function switches on the option of night cooling and collector overheating protection. Additionally, this option allows disabling additional heating devices connected to the controller in the active time period declared by the user – applies to scheme no. 3, 4, 5, 14. Active vacation option is indicated by the display of the screen HOLIDAY alternating with the scheme on the main screen of the controller.

This parameter determines the time delay when changing to a higher rotation of solar panel pump. Min. time before pump Additionally, the parameter causes smooth operation of the solar installation with variable weather conditions and affects the 10 – 300s 150s speed level increases efficient use of solar energy especially on cloudy days.

The controller is equipped with a pressure control of the heat transfer fluid (the function Pressure switch enabled – see Control parameters). The pressure drop below 1.5 bar for 30 minutes is indicated by the following message: LACK OF REQUIRED PRESSURE. By pressing the key for acceptance the user will return to the main screen of the controller.
