If your Sorel MTDC has a red light flashing and reports a sensor fault even after renewal, follow these steps:

1. Check if the warning symbol changes to an info symbol, indicating the error is no longer present.
2. Press the key under the warning or info symbol to get more detailed information on the error.
3. The fault may be due to a defective sensor, a faulty sensor input at the controller, or a damaged connecting cable.
4. Do not attempt to fix it yourself. Consult a specialist for further diagnosis and repair.

    Hydraulic Variants The following illustrations should be regarded only as schematic representations of the respective hydraulic systems and do not claim to be complete. Under no cir- cumstances should the controller replace any safety devices. Depending on the specific application, additional system and safety components such as check valves, non-return valves, safety temperature limiters, scalding protectors, etc., may be required.

  • Page 14: Statistics

    2. Statistics Serve for function control and long-term monitoring of the system. For time-dependent functions such as circulation and anti-legionella and the evaluation of system data, it is essential that the time is accur- ately set on the controller. Please note that the clock continues to run for about 24 hours if the mains voltage is interrupted, and afterward must be reset.
  • Page 15: Operating Mode

    3. Operating mode Auto The automatic mode is the normal mode of the controller. A correct controller function under consideration of the current temperatures and the set parameters is only present in automatic mode! After an interruption of the mains voltage, the controller automatically returns to the last operating mode selected.

    4. Settings By no means does the controller replace the safety appliances on site! Tmin S1 Enable/start temperature at sensor 1: If this value on the sensor 1 (collector sensor) is exceeded and the other conditions are not fulfilled, the controller will turn on the affil- iated pump or the valve.

    The priority for the first storage is thus set under priority S2 and for the 2. storage under priority S3. Tmax Pool / Tmax Pool HE Switch-off temperature at heat exchanger sensor. If this value is exceeded at the specified sensor, the controller turn off the affiliated pump or the valve.
  • Page 18: Recooling

    Recooling In the system hydraulics with solar, excess energy is guided from the storage back to the collector with an activated return cooling func- tion. This only occurs if the temperature in the storage is greater than the value “Return cooling Tref” and the collector is at least 20 °C colder than the storage and until the storage temperature has fallen below the value “Return cooling Tref”.
  • Page 19: Signal Type

    Signal type Only available, if the function is used on one of the V-outputs. The type of device to be controlled is set here. 0-10V: Control by 0-10V signal. PWM: Control by means of a PWM signal. Output Signal In this menu the type of actors are set: heating pumps have the greatest output with a small input signal, solar pumps in contrast have very little output with a small input signal.
  • Page 20: Min. Speed

    The specified percentages are variables, which may deviate more or less strongly depending on the system, pump and pump level. 100% is the maximum possible power of the controller. Min. Speed The minimum speed of the pump is determined here. During the setting, the pump runs in the respective speed and the flow can be determined.

Periods Cooling release times Here the desired periods are set in which the cooling function is approved. For each weekday, three times can be specified, furthermore, you can copy individual day to other days.
  • Page 23: Heat Transfer

    With the help of the anti legionella function (hereinafter referred to as: AL), the system can be heated up at selected times in order to free it of legionella. In the delivery state, the anti legionella function is switched off. Antilegionella function is not shown in the menu “Protective functions”.

  • Page 25: Solid Fuel Boiler

    Solid fuel boiler In solid-fuel boiler function, a pump is controlled with a assigned relay, which loads the heat energy from a solid-fuel boiler into a stor- age tank. The solid-fuel boiler function controls the charge pump of a solid-fuel boiler based on the temperature difference between the solid- fuel boiler sensor and the storage tank sensor.
  • Page 26: Error Messages

    Error Messages The relay is switched on if one or several of the set protective functions are activated. This function can be inverted so that the relay is turned on (Duration on) and then turned off again if a protective function is activated. Pressure monitor In this menu, the system pressure monitoring can be activated through a direct sensor.
  • Page 27: Heating Circuit

    Heating circuit In the heating function, a simple heating circuit in the system controls the time and temperature. The settings of the heating circuit define "Room Reference (Day)" and "Room Reference (Night)” values for the associated room sensor. Heating circuit Activate function.
  • Page 28: Sensor Calibration

    Sensor Calibration Deviations in the temperature values displayed, for example. due to cables which are too long or sensors which are not positioned optimally can be compensated for manually here. The settings can be made for each individual sensor in steps of 0.5 °C. Settings are only necessary in special cases at the time of initial commissioning by the specialist.
