IMPORTANT FUNDAMENTAL INFORMATION These instructions describe installation, commissioning, operation, repair and disassembly of the differential temperature controller smart Sol for solar thermal plants. For operation of the entire plant, the technical documentation of all the components used such as solar collectors, boiler, tank, pumps, mixers and valves etc.
SYMBOLS USED When handling the differential temperature controller smart Sol and the entire plant, please make sure that the following safety provisions in the Assembly and Operating Instructions are complied with! Danger! Immediate danger for assets, life and limb! Important! Important information compliance with which is essential! Note! Useful information regarding handling of the device and the plant!
DESCRIPTION The differential temperature controller smart Sol is an independent electronic controller for surface-mounting which is used for the control of solar thermal plants. The controller is equipped with a robust three-part plastic housing which can only be opened by means of tools (screw driver PH2). Operation is effected by means of only two control elements;...
TECHNICAL DATA Intended Use The differential temperature controller may be used exclusively as controller for the con- trol of solar thermal plants. It must be operated within the scope of all the specifi cations described. Installation and set-up of the controller may only be performed by specialists. The fi...

OPERATION OF THE CONTROLLER The entire set-up and operation of the differential temperature controller smart Sol is effected via only two control elements on the device front. All settings and interrogations are effected via the rotary encoder. To fi nd a required menu item, turn the rotary encoder to ›scroll‹ through the menu - the selectable option appears on a coloured background on the display.
DISPLAY For indication of the operating mode and for communication in case of set-up, malfunction, modifi cation and evaluation, the differential temperature controller smart Sol is equipped with a coloured full graphics display which is permanently backlit. The display is active as long as there is supply voltage on the controller. After a preset time (30 - 255 s), backlighting is dimmed to 10%.
OPENING THE TERMINAL COVER Danger! Mortal danger due to electrocution! Whenever work is performed on the open terminal cover, all poles of the power supply must be disconnected reliably and protected against being switched on again! Release the lock screw. Swing terminal cover forward ...
WALL-MOUNTING Important! The device corresponds to protection type IP 20 - make sure the appropriate prerequisites exist on the envisaged place of installation. Do not use the housing base as drill template. A device with damaged housing must not be operated! Fasten the top securing bolt so that a space of 2 to 3 mm is created between the wall and...
CONNECTION TO POWER SUPPLY Danger! Mortal danger due to electrocution! Whenever work is performed on the open terminal cover, all poles of the power supply must be disconnected reliably and protected against being switched on again! The differential temperature controller smart Sol is connected to the power supply via three groups of spring-type terminals which are visible once the terminal cover is opened.

CONNECTION TO POWER SUPPLY Volumetric fl ow sensor: Measurement of solar radiation (heat quantity): The solar yield is calculated from the fl ow rate and the differential temperature. The differential temperature is the difference in the temperature of the collector sensor and the solar circuit return line sensor.
Page 18
CONNECTION TO POWER SUPPLY Important! Depending on whether HE pumps are used as solar or heating pumps, they are supplied with proportional or inverted control signals. (Both analogue and PWM control.) 10V analog/ 100% PWM 9-10 mm The strain relief device can only ensure solid clamping if the cables are not stripped to a length of over 35 mm.
DATA INTERFACES The solar controller has the following data interfaces: The cut-outs at the left of the housing base accommodate a USB port as well as a slot for a storage medium (Micro SD card). These interfaces are used, for example, for reading of error messages or log data or loading of software updates.
HYDRAULIC SYSTEMS Note! Defi ne structure and design of the plant already when planning the entire solar thermal system and align the design with the one of the hydraulic systems of the controller! If you want to complete an existing system or replace the existing controller, please make sure that smart Sol is compatible with the existing confi...

FUNCTIONS FOR BOILER CONTROL The functions for boiler control are accomplished via the potential-free relay contact which is connected accordingly to the relevant interface of the heating boiler. The individual functions are assigned the following priorities: Anti-legionella priority 1 11 14 12 recharge suppression priority 2 reheating...
Page 42
FUNCTIONS FOR BOILER CONTROL Disable recharge The effi ciency of a solar plant increases as the recharge of the tank from the boiler decreases. Consequently, „disable recharge“ means that recharging of the water tank is blocked by the boiler. Recharge suppression during solar yield The recharge function of the heating boiler is suppressed while a solar circuit pump is operating.
Page 43
FUNCTIONS FOR BOILER CONTROL Note! For boilers without control input, the functions for boiler control can be accessed by the simulation of temperature values. To enable reheating or anti-legionella functions, the corresponding boiler temperature must be increased at the boiler control. The differential temperature controller smart Connection provided at the Sol regulates the boiler control functions by...
