Product description 1. Product description Your solar controller is a microprocessor-based controller, for control of solar energy systems with one collec- tor array and one storage reservoir. The pump is controlled so as to optimise the heat energy obtained from the solar collector array, according to the solar irradiation and the temperatures which arise in the solar energy system.

Transport and storage 4. Transport and storage Thoroughly check whether the packaging or the controller shows any sign of damage. Transport the controller in the original packaging only. If the controller falls, even from a low height, it may get damaged. Prevent impact and extreme temperatures (below 0 °C or above + 50 °C) during transport and storage.
Installing and connecting the controller 5.2. Possible additional functions This table shows you the additional functions which can be used. One relay can be assigned individually. Funktion Described in section Low-Flow 10.1. 10.2. Collector monitoring / tube function 10.4. Collector safety function 10.6.
Installing and connecting the controller 5.6. Installing the controller Upper fastening hole (for hanging) 140mm Terminal cover Lower fastening holes Choose a suitable installation location. Remove the collector’s terminal cover. Mark and drill (Ø 6 mm) the central upper fastening hole. Insert the provided rawlplug and a screw. Hang the controller on the screw and align it.
Installing and connecting the controller Electrical connections are to be realised with screw terminals (single wire / fine wire, max. 1.5 mm²). The mains supply’s protective earth connector is to be connected to the 5-pole terminal block ( Protective earth connection of loads (pumps etc.) is to be realised at the 5-pole terminal block provided for this purpose.

Reset of the factory setting 8. Reset of the factory setting – Open the specialised mechanic level (press and hold the buttons simultaneously for five – seconds) and use the button to select the sublevel E3-1. Confirm your selection with .
Pump blockage protection Pump blockage protection If the pumps have been deactivated for a long time, there is a risk that they will block when reactivated, due to accumulated dirt or limescale. In order to prevent such blockages, the pumps are switched on for 10 sec- onds at a certain time each day.
Setting the additional functions 10.3. Additional function: emergency collector switch-off If collector temperature exceeds the maximum value NOT (which is set here) for longer than 5 minutes, the solar pump is switched off and will not resume operation until the collector temperature has fallen below NOT - 10 K.
Setting the additional functions 10.7. Additional function: thermostat, e.g. for activation of the circulation pump The sensor input and relay output are freely selectable. Additional function Level Display Function Factory Range Selection setting Selection of sensor for the 0 to 4 E3-7 / 1 thermostat function.
Setting the additional functions 10.8. Additional function: temperature comparison Sensor inputs and relay outputs can be freely selected for an additional temperature comparison function. Level Display Function Factory Range Selection setting Selection of the first sensor 0 to 4 E3-8 / 1 input.
