Installation Electrical connection Before working on the unit, switch off the power supply and secure it against being switched on again! Check for the absence of power! Electrical connections may only be made by a specialist and in comp- Danger liance with the applicable regulations. The controller may not be put into operation if there is visible damage to the housing, e.g. cracks. Low-voltage cables such as temperature sensor cables must be routed separately from mains voltage cables. Feed temperature sensor cables only into the left-hand side of the unit, and mains voltage cables only into Caution the right-hand side.
Installation Installing the temperature sensors Der Regler arbeitet mit Pt1000-Temperaturfühlern, die für eine gradgenaue Tempera- turerfassung sorgen, um die Anlagenfunktion regeltechnisch optimal sicherzustellen. If desired the sensor cables can be extended to a maximum of 30m using a cable with a cross-section of at least 0.75mm². Make sure that there is no contact resistance! Position the sensor precisely in the area to be measured! Caution Only use immersion, pipe-mounted or fl at-mounted sensor suitable for the spe- cific area of application with the appropriate permissible temperature range.
Operation Display and input The display (1), with its extensive text and graphics mode, is almost self-explanatory, allowing easy operation of the controller. The LED (2) lights up green when a relay is switched on. The LED (2) lights up red when operating mode „Off“ is set. The LED (2) fl ashes slowly red in the ope- rating mode „Manual“. The LED (2) flashes quickly red when an error is present. Entries are made using four keys (3+4), to Examples of display symbols: which different functions are assigned de- Examples of display symbols: pending on the situation. The „esc“ key (3) is used to cancel an entry or to exit a menu.
Operation Commissioning help The first time the controller is turned on and after the language and time are set, a query appears as to whether you want to parametrise the controller using the com- missioning help or not. The commissioning help can also be terminated or called up again at any time in the special functions menu.

Pressing a key in graphics or overview mode takes you directly to the main menu. The following menu items are then availab- le for selection there: Current temperature values with Measurements explanations Function control of the system with Statistics operating hours, etc. Operating times for heating circuit and hot Times water, setting the clock...
Measurement values Measurement values Menu “1. Measurement values” serves to display the currently measured tempera- tures. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit measurement values”. Selecting “Info” leads to a brief help text explaining the measurement values. Selecting “Overview” or “esc” exits the Info mode. If “Error” appears on the display instead of the measurement value, then there may be a defective or incorrect temperature sensor.
Statistics 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 system data statistics it is essential for the time to be set accurately on the controller. Please note that the clock continues to run for about 24 hours if the mains voltage is interrupted, and after that has to be reset.
Times Times Menu “3. Times” is used to set the time, date, operating times for the heating circuit and hot water. The associated temperature re- ference values are specified in menu 5 “Settings”! Caution The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit display mode”. 3.1 Time & Date This menu is used to set the current time and date.
Operating modes Operating modes Menu “4. Operating modes” is used to spe- cify the operating modes for the heating circuit. After an interruption of the mains voltage the controller automatically returns to the last operating mode selected! The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit operating modes”. The controller works with the set operating times and the corresponding different reference flow temperature values only in the automatic mode.
Operating modes 4.3 Manual In Manual mode the individual relay outputs and the connected consumers can be che- cked for proper functioning and correct assignment. Function in manual mode: The relays and thus the connected consumer are switched on and off by pressing a key, with no regard to the current temperatures and the parameters which have been set. At the same time, the current measurement values of temperature sensors are also shown in the display for the purposes of function control. The operating mode “Manual” may only be used by specialists for brief function tests, e.g.
Settings Heating circuit Settings Heating circuit The necessary basic settings required for the control function of the heating circuit are made in menu “5. Settings HC”. This does not under any circum- stances replace the safety facilities to be provided by the customer! Caution The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit settings”.
Settings Heating circuit 5.3 Curve Slope of the characteristic heating curve The characteristic curve is used to control the heat dissipation of the heating circuit re- lative to the outdoor temperature. The demand for heat is different due to differences in the type of building/insulation/type of heating/outdoor temperature. For this reason the controller can make use of a normal straight curve (Setting simple) or a split curve (Setting split). In the simple setting the curve can be adjusted with the help of the graphic diagram. The slope is changed, and the calculated reference flow temperature is displayed for -12 °C. If the split mode is selected, the characteristic curve is adjusted in 3 steps. First the stan- dard slope has to be set, after that the split point and finally the steepness of the curve after the split.
Settings Heating circuit The following settings can be used for parallel translation of the characte- ristic for certain time periods such as daytime and nighttime mode. Caution 5.4 Day correction Parallel translation of the characteristic curve The day correction produces a parallel translation of the heating characteristic during the daytime operating hours, since depending on the outdoor temperature it is possible that the building may not be optimally heated with the set characteristic. If the charac- teristic is not optimised, the following situation may occur: in hot weather - the spaces are too cold in cold weather - the spaces are too hot In this case, one should gradually...
Settings Heating circuit 5.7 Reference/actual - Switch on hysteresis for additional heating This setting determines the allowed undershoot of the heat circuit temperature under the calculated reference flow temperature. If the heat circuit flow temperature falls below the reference temperature by this value, the additional heating (R5) is activated after a delay of 5 minutes. Settings range: -10°C to 10°C / Default: -2°C The additional heating (relais R5) is started when the flow temperature (in case of 2 heat circuits: one of the flow temperatures)is below the refe- rence flow temperature for 5 minutes continously. Caution 5.8 Reference/actual + Switch off hysteresis (only if S4 is connected) This settings determines the allowed overstepping of the heat circuit temperature to the calculated reference flow temperature at sensor 4. If the temperature at S4 exceeds the reference flow temperature by this value, the additional heating (R5) is switched off.

Useful notes / tips and tricks The service values (see 10.) include not only current measurement values and operating states, but also all of the settings for the controller.Write the service values down just once after commissioning has been successfully completed. In the event of uncertainty as to the control response or malfunctions the ser- vice values are a proven and successful method for remote diagnosis. Write the service values down (see 10.) at the time that the suspected malfunction occurs.
