Special functions 6.2.3. - Output Signal This menu determines the type of pump used: Solar pumps perform at their highest power when the signal is also at its maximum, heating pump on the other hand are set to highest power when the control signal is at its minimum. Solar = normal, heating = Inverted.
Special functions 6.3. - Speed control With speed control the SRS3 E makes it possible to vary the speed of connected pumps. This function should only be activated by a specialist. Depending on the pump and pump stage used, the minimum speed should not be set too low, because otherwise the pump or the system may be damaged.
Special functions 6.3.2. - Purging time During this time the pump runs at its full speed (100 %) to ensure reliable starting. Only after this purging time does the pump run with speed control and switches to the max. or min. speed, depending on the variant set (M1-M4). Purging is not used for PWM/ 0-10V output.
Special functions 6.5. - Relay functions The here explained additional functions can be assigned to unused relays. Every addi- tional function can only be used once. Pay special attention to the technical data of the relays („B.1. - Specification“). Example Solar + Solar Solar +...
Special functions 6.5.2. - Thermostat Thermostat is used for time- and temperature controlled auxiliary heating. Temperature values which are set too high can lead to scalding or damage to the system. Scalding protection must be provided by the Warning customer! In Energy savings mode, different settings may apply, see e.g.
Special functions 6.5.2.8. - Energy saving mode Energy saving mode switches the heating on when T eco is not reached and heats up to T eco + hysteresis when solar charge is active. 6.5.2.9. - Periods Thermostat activity times Set the desired periods of time when the thermostat should be active. 3 periods can be set per day, settings can also be copied to other days.
Special functions 6.5.4.3. - ∆T return flow Switch-on temperature difference: When this difference is exceeded between return flow sensor and storage sen- sor, the relay is switched on. Switch-off temperature difference: When this difference is exceeded between return flow sensor and storage sen- sor, the relay is switched off.
Special functions 6.5.6. - Anti Legionella This function is used to heat up the system during selected periods to eliminate legionella bacteria. 6.5.6.2. - Anti Legionella set temperature (AL T set) This temperature has to be detected for the time set in AL residence time at the AL sensors for a successful heat up.
Special functions 6.5.7. - Heat transfer This is used to transfer energy from one storage to another with a pump. 6.5.7.2. - Min. temperature (Shift Tmin) Minimum temperature in source storage to enable the heat transfer. 6.5.7.3. - Temperature difference for heat transfer (Δ T Heat transfer) Temperature difference for heat transfer function.
Special functions 6.5.8. - Difference The relay is switched on when a specific temperature difference (Δ T) is reached. 6.5.8.2. - Diff Tmin Minimum temperature at source sensor to enable the difference relay. When the temperature at the source sensor is below this level, the difference function is disabled.
Special functions 6.5.9. - Solid fuel boiler The relay is used to control an additional solid fuel boiler. 6.5.9.2. - Min. solid fuel boiler temperature (SF Tmin) Minimum temperature in the solid fuel boiler to switch on the pump. If the tem- perature at the boiler sensor is below this temperature, the relay is disabled.
Special functions 6.5.12. - SParallel operation R (X) The relay is switched on at the same time as the set relay R1 or R2. 6.5.12.2. - Delay This menu determines how long after the start of R1 or R2 the parallel relay is switched on.
Special functions 6.6. - Heat quantity 6.6.1. - Flow rate When the heat meter mode „Flow rate“ is selected, an approximate heat quantity is calculated using the values the user has to enter. These are type of glycol/AntiFreeze, glycol portion and flow rate. These values are put into correlation with the temperature data of collector sensor and storage sensor.
Special functions 6.7. - Sensor calibration Deviations in the temperature values displayed, for example due to cables which are to long or sensors which are not positioned optimally, can be compensated for manually here. The settings can be made for each individual sensor in steps of 0.8 °C (tempera- ture) resp.
Special functions 6.11. - Time and date This menu is used to set the current time and date. For analysis of the system data it is essential for the time to be set accurate- ly on the controller. Please note that the clock does not continue to run if the mains voltage is interrupted, and must therefore be reset.
Menu lock 7. - Menu lock Menu “7. Menu lock” can be used to secure the controller against unintentional changing of the set values. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit menu lock”. The menus listed below remain completely accessible despite the menu lock being activated, and can be used to make adjustments if necessary: Measurements Statistics...
Service values 8. - Service values The menu “8. Service values” can be used for remote diagnosis by a specialist or the manufacturer in the event of an error, etc. Enter the values at the time when the error occured e.g. in the table. Caution The menu can be closed at any time by pressing “esc”.
Language 9. - Language Menu “9. Language” can be used to select the language for the menu guidance. This is queried automatically during initial commis- sioning.
Malfunctions, additional info Z.1. Malfunctions with error messages If the controller detects a malfunction, the red light flashes and the warning symbol also appears in the display. If the error (LED flashes + warning is no longer present, the warning symbol symbol) changes to an info symbol and the red light no longer flashes.
Malfunctions, additional info Replacing the fuse Repairs and maintenance may only be performed by a specialist. Before working on the unit, switch off the power supply and secure it against Danger being switched on again! Check for the absence of power! Only use the supplied spare fuse or a fuse of the same design with the following specifications: T2A 250V.
Malfunctions, additional info Maintenance In the course of the general annual maintenance of your heating system you should also have the functions of the controller checked by a speci- alist and have the settings optimised if necessary. Caution Performing maintenance: - Assess/check plausibility of analyses (see Chap.
Malfunctions, additional info CAN Bus The CAN bus can be used to connect two or more controllers with each other or with the datalogger to exchange data. Controller 1 Controller 2 Controller 3 Controller n Datalogger (optional) 1. The controllers are connected in series with the CAN bus cable (1). 2.
Tips & Tricks Instead of setting the flow rate for the system using a flow rate limiter, it is better to adjust the flow rate using the switch on the pump and by means of the “max. speed” setting on the controller (see 6.3.4). This saves electricity! The service values (see 8.) include not only current measurement values and operating states, but also all of the settings for the controller.
