EKSFLP12A is between 0 and 12 l/min (flow volume) and 0 to 120 °C (feed temperature). The measured values are shown on the control unit EKSR3PA display. The control system EKSR3PA automatically sets the appropriate flow rate when the system is in operation by regulating the speed of the solar panel circulation pump.
The solar system cannot be started until all hydraulic and electrical connections have been completed. An incorrect start-up will adversely affect the function and may damage the complete system. Installation and start-up must therefore must conducted by DAIKIN-authorised and trained heating experts. 4.1.1 Filling solar panel circuit CAUTION! Danger of scalding by hot solar fluid and escaping steam.

– If necessary, correct the system pressure by adding solar fluid (see working step 4 onwards). 15. Separate the filling/flushing pump with hoses from the pump unit EKSRDS1A. 16. Open the blocking of the flow meter completely (slot vertical). Operating and installation instructions EKSR3PA + EKSRDS1A Control and pump unit for solar systems 4PW56033-1...
Start-up and taking out of service 4.1.2 Regulate the flow rate on the solar panel circuit 1. Connect the mains line of the control unit EKSR3PA to the plug socket of the domestic supply (~230 V, 50 Hz) and provide power supply.
• Switch on the EKSR3PA + EKSRDS1A control and pump unit again (see Chapter 4.2.1 "Temporary shutdown“). • Disconnect the EKSR3PA + EKSRDS1A control and pump unit from all electrical and water connections. • Dismantle the EKSR3PA + EKSRDS1A control and pump unit in accordance with the assembly instructions (Chapter 3 "Montage“) in reverse order.
Indicator for solar return temperature display Operation of control systems Because of continual improvements for optimum use of the EKSR3PA + EKSRDS1A control and pump unit, the solar control system is fitted with an update function. Therefore, some functions described in this chapter are applicable to specific software versions only.
