The following pages contain generally valid descriptions for the settings. Enumerations may vary. Caution 5.1. Tmin S1 Enable/start temperature at sensor 1 If this value is exceeded at sensor 1 and the other conditions are also met, then the controller switches the associated pump and/or ball value on. If the temperature at sensor 1 drops below this value by 5 °C, the pump and/or the valve are switched off again. Setting range: 0 °C ... 99 °C / Default: 20 °C 5.2. -
Page 20: T R1
Settings 5.3. ∆T R1 Switch-on/switch-off temperature difference for relay R1 If this temperature difference is reached, the ball value at R2 and the pump at R1 are switched on. When the temperature drops to ΔT-Off, pump / valve are switched off. Setting range: ΔT-On 4 °C ... 20 °C / Default 10 °C ΔT-Off 2 °C ... 9 °C / Default: 3 °C If the set temperature difference is too small, this may result in ineffec- tive operation, depending on the system and sensor positions. Caution Reference sensors are usually S1 and S2. If S3 is connected, the switch Off ΔT-Off is between S2 and S3. Caution 5.4. Tset S2 Targettemperature for sensor 2. Below this temperature the heating is switched on until Tsoll+Hysteresis is reached. Setting range: 0 °C ... 40 °C / Default: 20 °C 5.5. -
Page 21: Eco Mode
Settings 5.9. Eco mode When the Eco mode is inactive, the hourly run time and the solar operating hours are ignored when calculating the daily filter pump run times. The solar operating hours are also ignored when calculating the hourly filter pump run time. Setting range: On, Off 5.10. Run time optimization When the run time optimization is active, the „hourly filter pump run time“ is reduced in regards of the average pool temperature of the past hour. When the average pool temperature was 30 °C, the hourly filter pump run time is fully committed. When the average pool temperature was 20 °C, the hourly filter pump run time is halved (and the solar run time is subtracted afterwards). The runtime-to-time dependency is calculated in 5 % steps per °C. Example: 20 °C = 50 %, 25 °C = 75 %, 27 °C = 85 %, 30 °C = 100 % Setting range: off, daily 0:00 ... 23:59 hour / Default: daily 0:00 ... 23:59 hour 5.11. Daily filtering time Used to ensure that the filter system is at least running for the time set here regardless of temperature. Eco mode: The time the filter pump was running on this day is sub- tracted from the time span set here. Example: Daily filtering time is set to run between 16 and 19 o‘clock = 3 hours. The filter pump was already active for 2 hours during the day. -
Page 22: Seizing Protection
Protective functions 6.1. Seizing protection If the seizing protection is activated, the controller switches the relay in question and the connected consumer on every day at 12:00 (setting “daily”) or weekly on Sundays at 12:00 (setting “weekly”) for 5 seconds in order to prevent the pump and/or the ball value from sticking after an extended stationary period. Setting range R1: daily, weekly, off / Default: off Setting range R2: daily, weekly, off / Default: off 6.2. Frost protection A two-stage frost protection function can be activated. In stage 1 the controller switch- es the pump on for 1 minute every hour if the collector temperature drops below the set value “Frost stage 1”. If the collector temperature drops further to the set value “Frost stage 2” the controller switches the pump on continuously. If the collector temperature then exceeds the value “Frost stage 2” by 2 °C, the pump switches off again. -

Page 25: Heat Quantity
Special functions 7.6. Heat quantity A simple heat metering function for basic system control can be activated in this menu. Ad- ditional settings regarding the glycol, the percentage of gylcol and the flow rate of the system are required. Additionally Offset ∆T can be used to enter a correction value to compensate for the temperature difference between flow and return temperature. Since the collector and the pool temperature are used to calculate the heat quantity, deviations from the dis- played temperature can occur. Example: Displayed collector temp. 40 °C, measured flow temp. 39 °C, displayed stor- age temp. 30 °C, measured return temp. 31 °C means a setting of -20 % (Displayed ∆T 10 K, actual ∆T 8 K => -20 % correction value) Heat quantity: on, off / Default: off Flow rate setting: 10 ... 5000 l/h / Default: 500 l/h Offset ΔT setting: -50 % ... +50 % / Default: 0 % Heat quantity data is only an approximation for function control of the system. -

Page 30: Replacing The Fuse
Malfunctions Z.2. Replacing the fuse Repairs and maintenance may only be performed by a specialist. Before working on the unit, switch off the power supply and secure it from being Danger switched on again! Check for the absence of power! Only use the spare fuse supplied or a fuse of the same design with the following specifications: T 4 A / 250 V Danger If the mains voltage is switched on and Z.2.1 the controller still does not function or Fuse display anything, the internal device fuse may be faulty. In that case, open the de- vice as described under C, remove the old fuse and check it. Replace the faulty fuse with a new one, locate the external source of the error (e.g. pump) and repair or replace it. Then recommission the controller and check the function of the switch outputs in manual mode first as described under 4.2. Z.3. Maintenance In the course of the general annual maintenance of your heating and solar system system you should also have the functions of the controller checked by a specialist and have the settings optimised if necessary. Caution Performing maintenance: - Check the time and date (see “7.2. Time and date” on page 23) - Assess/check plausibility of analyses (see “2. Statistics” on page 16) - Check the error memory (see “2.5. Message log” on page 16) - Verify/check plausibility of the current measurement values (see “1. Measurement values”... - Page 31 Notes The service values (see 9.) include not only current measurement values and operating states, but also all of the settings for the controller. Write the service values down once after commissioning has been successfully completed. In the event of uncertainty as to the control response or malfunctions the service values are a proven and successful method for remote diagnosis. Write the service values down (see 9.) at the time the suspected malfunc- tion occurs. Send the service value table by fax or e-mail with a brief description of the error to the specialist or manufacturer. To protect against loss of data, record any analyses and data that are par- ticularly important to you (see 2.) at regular intervals. Filter pump party function: When the “esc” key is pressed for 3 seconds the filter pump switches on for 5 hours. This can be canceled by pressing the “esc” key again for 3 seconds.
