Operation Display and input The display (1) shows graphic and text info on the hydraulic variant, set and measured values and other text info. LED lamp (2): lights up green - if a relay is closed and the controller works right lights up red - if the controller is set to automatic operation and all relays are open...
Operation Commissioning help The fi rst time the controller is turned on, language and clock need to be set. After that a query appears as to whether you want to parameterize the controller using the Setup Wizard or not. The setup wizard can also be terminated or called up again at any time in the special functions menu.
Operation Menu structure The graphics or overview mode appears when no key has been pressed for 2 minutes, or when the main menu is exited by pressing “esc“. Pressing any key (4) in graphics or overview mode takes you directly to the main menu.
Measurement values 1. - Measurements Menu “1. Measurements” serves to dis- play the currently measured temperatures. What measurement values are displayed depends on the selected program and the specific controller model. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit measurements”. If “--”...
Statistics 2. - Statistics Menu “2. Statistics” is used for function control and long-term monitoring of the system. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit statistics”. For analysis of the system data it is essential that time is set accurately on the controller.
Operating modes 3. - Operating modes In menu “3. Operating modes” the cont- roller can either be switched to automatic mode, turned off, or placed in a manual operating mode. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit operating mode”. 3.1.
Settings 4. - Settings The system parameters are set in menu “4. Settings”. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit settings”. 4.1. - Tmin S(X) Sensor S(X) switch-on temperature If the temperature at sensor S(X) exceeds the value of TminS(X) and the other con- ditions are also met, then the controller switches on the associated pump and/or valve.
Temperature values which are set high will allow higher solar heat accu- mulation but it shall be checked that all system components are resis- Danger tant to high temperatures and scalding protection is provided. Regulus solar thermal systems are safe for heating water up to 95 °C.
Settings 4.14. - Auxiliary heating Auxiliary heat function based on time or temperature. 4.14.1. - TH Set Target temperature at thermostat sensor 1. Below this temperature, auxiliary heating is switched on, till TH set + hysteresis is reached. Setting range: 0°C to 100 °C / Default setting: 50°C Temperature values which are set too high can lead to scalding or dam- age to the system.
Settings 4.14.7. - Periods Set the desired periods of time when the thermostat should be active. 2 periods can be set per day, settings can also be copied to other days. Outside the set times the auxiliary heat source is switched off. Setting range: from 00:00 to 23:59 / Default setting: 06:00 to 22:00 4.15.
Protective functions 5. - Protective functions Menu “5. Protections” can be used to acti- vate and set various protective functions. This does not under any circumstances replace the safety facilities to be provided by the Warning customer! The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit protections“.
Protective functions Protective functions This anti-Legionella function does not provide complete protection against Legionella, because the controller is dependent on sufficient energy being fed in, and it is not possible to monitor the temperatures in the entire range of the storage tanks and the connected piping system. To provide Warning complete protection against Legionella bacteria, it must be ensured that the temperature is raised to the necessary temperature, and at the same...
Setting range: Frost level 2 -25 to 8 °C or OFF / Default setting: 5 °C This function causes energy loss via the collector! As Regulus solar thermal systems are filled with antifreeze fluid, the antifreeze protection shall remain off.
Special functions 6. - Special functions Menu “6. Special functions” is used to set basic items and expanded functions. Time and Date is the only function to be set by the user. Other functions may be set by a Warning specialist only.
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 pumps = Inverted.
Special functions 6.3. - Speed control R1 6.4. - Řízení otáček 6.3.1. - Varianty řízení otáček R1 6.3.1. - Modes R1 6.3. - Řízení otáček 6.2.3. - Varianty řízení otáček R1 Off: There is no speed control. The connected pump is only switched on or off with full speed.
Special functions 6.3.4. - Max.speed 6.9.1. - Max. otáčky The maximum speed of the pump is specified here. Setting range: 15-100% /Default setting: 100% The indicated percentages are guide values that may vary to a greater or lesser extent depending on the system, pump and pump stage. Caution 6.3.5.
Special functions 6.7.6. – Glycol percentage Concentration of antifreeze used in the system, in %. Setting range: 0 % - 60 % / Default setting: 40 % 6.7.7. - Flow rate This determines the fl ow rate in litres per minute that is used for the calcualtion of the heat quantity. Setting range: 0 l/min.
Special functions The entire parameterization, analyses, etc. of the controller will be lost irrevocably. The controller must then be commissioned and set once again. Caution 6.11. - Starting aid function With some solar thermal systems, namely with evacuated tube collectors, it may occur that measurement at the collector sensor takes too long or is not quite precise, which is often caused by the sensor not being placed at the hottest location.
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: 1.
Service values 8. - Service values The menu “9. Service values” can be used for remote diagnosis by a specialist in the event of an error etc. Note down data at the time when an alarm or error occurs, e.g. into the following table.
Language 9. - Language Menu “9. Language” can be used to select the language for the menu guidance. This is queried automatically during initial commissioning.
Malfunctions 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 fl ashes + is no longer present, the warning symbol warning symbol) changes to an info symbol and the red light no longer flashes.
Malfunctions 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.
Useful hints and 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.Max. speed). 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.
