ST-401N User's Manual v 1.0.3 I. Safety Before using the device for the first time the user should read the following regulations carefully. Not obeying the rules included in this manual may lead to personal injuries and device damage. The user's manual should be stored in a safe place for further reference.
Tech Application The ST-401N type temperature regulator is intended for the operation of solar collectors for various system configurations. This device controls the operation of collector pumps (or a pump and a valve) on the basis of the measurement of the solar panel temperatures and the accumulation tank (two tanks) temperature.
ST-401N User's Manual v 1.0.3 IV. User Menu IV.a) Home Page During the regulator's standard operation, the Graphic Display shows the Homepage which displays the diagram of the selected system and: - Operation mode (or alarm type), - Current hour, - Collector's temperature, - Current heat container temperature, - The temperatures of all additional sensors, depending on the configuration.
Tech IV.b) Main Menu – Flowchart Due to its multifunctional nature, the controller's menu is divided into the Main Menu and the Service Menu. The Main Menu is used to adjust the controller's basic options such as changing the operation modes, timer settings, date settings, changing the language etc.
ST-401N User's Manual v 1.0.3 IV.c.3) Holiday Mode After the user activates Holiday Mode, the pump operates when one of the following conditions is met: The collector's temperature increases to the overheat temperature value (SERVICE MENU> Solar Collector > Overheat Temperature) reduced by the value of the parameter Delta Holiday (SERVICE MENU>...
Tech IV.g) GSM Module NOTE Control of this type is possible after purchasing and connecting an additional ST-65 control module (which is not added to the controller as a standard). The GSM module is an optional device designed to work in tandem with the collector's controller, enabling remote control over the collector operation with the use of a mobile phone.
ST-401N User's Manual v 1.0.3 program version appears. IV.m) Factory Settings This function allows the user to load factory settings previously recorded in the service menu. V. Service Menu In order to enter the service settings, the user should select the SERVICE MENU option and then select code 0112 using the Plus and Minus buttons and confirm it by pressing the Menu button.

ST-401N User's Manual v 1.0.3 V.b) Accumulation Tank This menu allows the user to adjust all parameters related to the tank (heat container). V.b.1) Set Temperature This function is used to adjust the set temperature in the container which leads to the deactivation of the Collector Pump.
Tech Temperature was introduced. This parameter determines the minimum safe temperature when the glycol liquid does not freeze (temperature measured on the collector). In the case of a significant drop in the collector's temperature (to the value of this parameter), the pump is activated and operates continuously until the collector is heated to a safe temperature.

Tech V.f.2) Firing up the PLT Boiler (pellet) This option is used to adjust the voltage-free signal to fire up the pellet boiler. The user sets the Activation Delta, namely the difference between the tank's set temperature and the tank's current temperature which leads to the controller sending a signal to fire up the boiler.
ST-401N User's Manual v 1.0.3 V.g.4) Calibration This function allows the user to calibrate the difference in temperatures between the sensors. The temperature measurement takes place in the temperature sensor's installation place. There is a possibility of deviations in the flow and temperature measurement at the return from the container. The manufacturer does not recommend changing this setting.
Tech V. Updating Software NOTE New software may be uploaded to the controller only by a qualified fitter. After the software is changed, it is not possible to restore the previous settings. In order to upload new software, the controller should be disconnected from the power supply. A USB flash drive with new software should be inserted to the USB port.
