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 or controller damage. The user’s manual should be stored in a safe place for further reference.
II. USE EU-402N temperature regulator is intended for controlling solar collector systems in various configurations. The device controls the collector pumps (or both the pump and the valve) on the basis of solar batteries temperature and the accumulation tank temperature (two tanks). Optionally, it is possible to connect an additional device: circulating pump, electric heater or to send a signal to CH boiler in order to initialise the fire-up process.
IV. USER MENU HOME PAGE During standard operation of the controller, graphic display shows the main page. Apart from the selected scheme, the display also shows: - operation mode (or type of alarm), - current time, - collector temperature, - current temperature of the heat tank, - temperature of all additional sensors depending on selected configuration.
MAIN MENU – BLOCK DIAGRAM Due to multiple functions fulfilled by the controller, the menu is divided into Main menu and Service menu. Main menu includes basic controller options such as operation mode, time and date settings, language version etc. It is illustrated by the following block diagram.
The pump remains active until the pre-set temperature is reached (to define the pre-set temperature go to SERVICE MENU>Accumulation tank>Pre-set temperature) or until the difference between collector and tank temperature reaches solar pump deactivation delta : SERVICE MENU>Pumps>Solar pump deactivation delta (in this case the pump will be activated again when the collector temperature exceeds the tank temperature by the value of solar pump activation delta).
2.3. DATE This submenu enables the user to set current date. Time and date settings are essential for energy counting function to operate correctly. 2.4. ETHERNET MODULE Internet module is a device enabling the user remote control of the solar heating system via the Internet at emodul.eu. The user controls the status of all heating system devices on the home computer screen and the operation of each device is presented in the form of animation.
• Gains - This parameter enables the user to check how much energy was gained in different time periods: daily, weekly, monthly, annually and temporary. NOTE Statistics provide only approximate data to illustrate roughly the energy gain. • Collector overheats - this submenu shows a list of collector overheats (instances of too high temperature detected by the collector sensor).

3.1. SCHEMAT INSTALACJI To ensure effective operation of the solar heating system, it is necessary to select proper installation scheme (SERVICE MENU > INSTALLATION SCHEME) and configure additional options for the selected scheme. NOTE While selecting an installation scheme, in the place of the sensor temperature the screen displays the sensor number.

temperature is reached or until the collector temperature drops by the value of the alarm hysteresis (see: SERVICE MENU > Solar collector> Alarm hysteresis). • Minimum temperature of tank 1 – using this parameter, the user may declare the minimum acceptable temperature value which the tank can reach.
b) parallel operation – the pumps operate independently of each other (according to their settings) and heat both tanks at the same time. • Tank heating priority - Option available only for scheme 9. Once this option has been selected, the pre-set tank temperature is given priority –...
• Receiver activation temperature - This parameter concerns the activation of the tank-receiver pump. The pump is activated after the upper tank sensor reaches this value (provided that the temperature of the receiver is lower than the temperature of the upper tank sensor). If the temperature of the upper tank sensor drops below the activation temperature minus the heat receiver hysteresis, the pump is deactivated until the tank temperature increases.

• Solar pump work minimum – this parameter is available only if regulated revolutions option is selected. Using this setting the user should define the pump minimum initial speed. • Solar pump work maximum – this parameter is available only if regulated revolutions option is selected. Using this setting the user should define the pump maximum operating speed (%).
Decrease It concerns PWM pump whose speed decreases when the signal increases. 3.6. PERIPHERALS The user may connect and configure the settings of an additional device. If there is no additional device, the user should select NONE (deactivate). Additional devices to choose from and examples of connections supporting all available installation schemes are presented below.

• Heater - The heater is used to electrically heat the tank. The principle of operation is similar to that in the previous case but the heater should be connected by means of an additional contactor. The user defines the activation delta (the difference between the pre-set tank pre-temperature and current tank temperature) below which the controller activates the heater.
• Cooling down with DHW pump - Option not available for schemes 5, 8, 11, 13, 15. This function is active beyond the time period, which means all the time. Sensor 4 is required for it to operate correctly (it should be installed in the external DHW tank).
• Energy return hysteresis - Option available only for schemes 5, 11. When the energy return threshold temperature is reached, the valve switches to the CH boiler return circulation. The valve will switch again after the tank cools down by the value of the energy return hysteresis. •...
VI. PROTECTIONS In order to ensure safe and failure-free operation, the controller is equipped with a range of protections. 1. Sensor protection. If one of the sensors is damaged, an acoustic signal is activated and the following symbol will appear on the right hand side of the display.
VIII. TECHNICAL DATA Before and during the heating season, EU-402N controller should be checked for condition of its cables. The user should also check if the controller is properly mounted and clean it if dusty or dirty. 230V ±10% / 50Hz Power supply Power consumption -30÷180˚C...
