1.USE: The SOLARTHERM 17, 28 KDZ 25 unit is a modern compact consumer appliance which ensures the heating of premises and, at the same time, the heating of utility water (hereinafter referred to as TUV) using a condensing boiler. The complete set consists of a well-established Therm 17 or 28 KDZ condensing boiler, TUV accumulation storage tank with a volume of 250 l, solar system pumping group, solar regulator, expan- sion tank, thermostatic mixing valve and all other parts necessary for the correct and problem-free operation of the whole system.

4. PRODUCTION INSPECTION All parts of the consumer appliance are checked and adjusted before completion by the producer. Each boiler is tested for tightness of the water circuit, tightness of the gas circuit and tightness of the solar circuit. At the same time the activity of regulation and safety elements is checked and adjusted. 5.
• CONNECTION (OF BOILER PART) TO THE HEATING SYSTEM As it concerns a hot water fl ow boiler which is fi tted with its own pump, it is possible to connect it to the existing system, as well as to the new systems designated for the forced circulation of water in the hea- ting system.

The compact SOLARTHERM unit is fi tted in a standard manner with the SOLAR 1 pump group. The pump unit is fi tted with a circulation pump for the solar circuit, safety valve, fl ow meter, pressure meter, thermo- meter and a charging and discharging ball valve. Due to minimising thermal losses, the pump group is built into the insulating box.

Filling the installation: Filling • Attach the fi lling hose to the fi lling valve and open it completely. • Attach the return hose to the drain valve and open it Ball completely. valve • Turn the groove on the fl owmeter‘s adjustment screw into closed a horizontal position.
Setting the fl ow rate: Regulate the fl ow rate using the regulation element on the ball valve until the right fl ow rate is shown. N.B. Flow rate The fl ow rate is shown taking as reference the lower edge of regulation the sliding cursor.
Honeywell CM 707, CM 907, or Electrobock PT 10, PT 21, PT 30, BPT 30 and others. For benefi cial equithermal regulation the Thermona company delivers the THERM Q01outside sensor. For high-quality regulation it is possible to use the intelligent programmable regulator Honeywell CR04, THERM RC 03, or regulator PT59, which using interface IU02 communicates with the microproces- sor of the boiler automated system.
Recommendation: We recommend controlling the operation of the separate boiler (without the option of equithermal regu- lation) at least by using a simple spatial thermostat. The spatial temperature is time stable and keeps the boiler in longer operating regimes. The setting of the boiler thermostat is recommended in transient periods (autumn, spring) at 60°C, in winter periods up to 80°C.

ignition automated system. The boiler is ignited for starting output (10 seconds after ignition of the boiler) and consequently the output of the boiler is increased to the maximum to increase the output temperature to 80 °C as quick as possible. This temperature is kept by the regulation of the output of the PID type. During the heating of the storage tank, the thermostat disconnects and the boiler interrupts the burning.

• ELECTRICAL WIRING Low-voltage cables such as temperature sensor cables must be routed separately from mains voltage cables. Feed temperature sensor cables only into the left-hand side of the unit, and mains voltage cables only into the right-hand side. The controller is not equipped with a mains switch. For this purpose please use e.g. a circuit breaker or just unplug the device.

CONTROLLER USE: Entries are made using four keys (3+4), which are assigned to different functions depending on the situation. The “esc” key (3) is used to cancel an entry or to exit a menu. If applicable there will be a request for confi rmation as to whether the changes which have been made should be saved.

Finally, menu 4.2 under operating mode “Manual“ should be used to test the switch outputs with the consu- mers connected, and to check the sensor values for plausibility. Then switch on automatic mode. Observe the explanations for the individual parameters on the following pages, and check whether further settings are necessary for your application.

Menu 2: Statistic The menu “2. Statistics” is used for function control and long- term monitoring of the system. The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or selecting “Exit statis- tics”. For analysis of the system data it is essential that time is set accurately on the controller. Please note that the clock does not continue to run if the mains voltage is interrupted, and must therefore be reset.

Tmax S2 - menu - point 5.4 = sensor S2 switch-off temperature If this value is exceeded at sensor S2, then the controller switches the associated pump and/or valve off. If sensor S2 temperature falls below this value again and the other conditions as in Table 5.14 are also met, then the controller switches the pump and/or valve on again.

T set poin S3 - menu - point 5.8 = thermostat function at sensor S3 If the temperature at sensor S3 falls below this value, the relay R2 together with backup heating is switched on. If the temperature at sensor S3 exceeds this value plus hysteresis, the relay is switched off.

Reset to factory settings - menu - point 7.5 All of the settings that have been made can be reset, thus returning the controller to its delivery state. The entire parameterization, analyses, etc. of the controller will be lost irrevocably. The controller must then be commissioned and set once again.

Variant V3 - Control to a constant collector temperature, starts from min. speed: The pump starts at max. speed. After the purging time (D 7.9.2) the controller switches to the set min. speed. If the temperature at the reference sensor (collector) is greater than the Setpoint (D 7.9.6), then the speed is increased by one stage after the Sweep time (D 7.9.3) expires.

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 against being switched on again! Check for the absence of power! Only use the supplied spare fuse or a fuse of the same design with the following specifi cations: T2A 250V. If the mains voltage is switched on and the controller still does not function or display anything, then the internal device fuse may be defective.
The Operating hours displayed in the “Analysis” menu are solar operating hours. This therefore only takes into account hours in which the solar pump is active. To protect against loss of data, record any analyses and data that are particularly important to you at regular intervals.
