Opeartion and function 2.1 Pushbuttons for adjustment The controller is operated by 3 pushbuttons below the display. The forward-key (1) is used for scrolling forward through the indication menu or to increase the adjustment values. The backwards-key (2) is accordingly used for the reverse function.
2.2.3 System screen The system screen (active system scheme) shows the schemes 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. System Screen only Sensors upper sensor tank...
3. Primary commissioning For primary commissioning the system scheme has to be adjusted first 1. AC power supply must be activated at first. The controller passes an initialisation phase during which the operating control lamp is blinking red and green. After having finished operating control lamp the initialisation, the controller is in automatic operation with factory settings.

4.1.1 Indicataion of collector temperatures Shows the current collector temperature. COL, COL1, COL2: Collector temperature • COL : collector temperature (1-collector-system) display range: -40 ... +480°F • COL1 : collector temperature 1 • COL2 : collector temperature 2 4.1.2 Indication of tank temperatures Shows the current tank temperature.
4.1.6 Operating hours counter The operating hours counter adds up the solar operating h P / h P1 / h P2: hours of the respective relay (h P / h P1 / hP2). Full hours operating hours counter are shown on the display. Indication channel After the operating hours are added up, they can be reset.
