BS Plus DeltaSol ® 2. Operation and function The controller is operated via three push buttons below the display. 2.1 Push buttons Button 1 is used for scrolling forward through the indica- tion menu or to increase the adjustment values. Button 2 is used for scrolling backward and reducing values.
BS Plus DeltaSol ® System screen The system screen (active system layout) shows the system selected on the controller. It consists of several system component symbols, which are – depending on the current status of the system – either flashing, permanently shown or hidden.
BS Plus DeltaSol ® 3. Commissioning Î Establish the power supply During a short initialisation phase, the operating control lamp flashes red and green. When the controller is commissioned for the first time or after a reset, it will run a commissioning menu. The com- missioning menu leads the user through the most impor- tant adjustment channels needed for operating the system.
