E2. Tiles for Heating and Hot Water In some cases, warning triangles can appear in the DHW tile. You can find a more detailed description of their meaning in the DHW menu.
E3. Tiles for Hot Water Recirculation and Ventilation E4. Display of the Diagram (DIAGRAM) Schematic representation of your hydraulic connection with a clear display of important quantities, states and information. The diagram should therefore always correspond to your current hydraulic connection.
E5. Heating zone menu (HEATING) The menu is used to select the settings of one of the heating zones (Zones 1 to 6), to set the thermal store heating (ThSt Zone) and holiday mode settings (Holidays), or to set the pool heating. (Pool heating - if pool heating is solved through the mixing pump station and bound to one heating zone.
E6.1. Room temperature setting Desired temperature (°C) - setting the desired room temperature in zone. The temperature can also be changed using plus and minus keys Decrease during setback time (°C) - setting by how many °C the desired room temperature will be decreased during setback time;...
Use time program - setting the time period during which the zone will heat to the desired room tempera- ture. Outside the time period, the desired room temperature will be reduced by the reduction value. Use second period - setting the second time period during which the zone will heat to the desired room temperature.
Expert settings are intended for more experienced users, there are two pairs of plus and mi- nus bu ttons. One for temperatures above zero and the other for temperatures below the freezing point. By clic- king on the individual buttons, the heating curve is reset mainly in the values corresponding to the location of the buttons.
Pool heating can be switched on or off by the user with the ON/OFF button. Desired temperature (°C) - setting of the desired pool temperature. The menu shows the temperature in the pool, the source temperature and information on whether the heating is active or inactive.
The decrease during setback time can only be set with the time program switched on. One-time heating (°C) – Setting the desired DHW temperature for one-time heating function. The temperature can also be changed using plus and minus keys. The time program setting is identical to the time program setting in zones 1-6. If recirculation or Anti-Legionella function is enabled at the service level, the tile for their setting will be shown in the DHW menu.
E11.2. Solar Heating The solar circuit can be switched on or off by the user with the ON/OFF button (the safety recoo- ling functions remain in operation when switched off). The solar circuit allows heating of up to three solar appliances. During commissioning, the service technician sets the correct differential values for switching on and off the solar thermal system.
E11.3. PV (Photovoltaic system) The cooperation of the PV system with the IR controller depends on the degree of system interco- nnection (type of inverter, PV modules used and other components in the system). From simpler applications, where the IR controller switches the DHW heating, the heating of the thermal store or a combination of both after receiving a request (signal) from the inverter, to more complex systems, where the power overflows are consumed by the heat pump (the speed of the heat pump compressor is automatically adjusted to the PV power output) or are consumed by the...
PV system menu The function of utilization of PV system power overflow can be switched on/off with the ON/OFF button. Utilization of excess solar power by HC temperature increase – The function enabling tempora- ry temperature increase in a zone can be switched on separately for each zone with the ON/OFF button.
2 °C is recommended.) If the REGULUS BOX source is used as the MAIN source of heating (the heat pump is not connected), it is controlled only by the switch-on and switch-off difference, blocking by Ripple signal or other external blocking (external switching).
E12. Menu for Other Settings (OTHER) E12.1. Inputs and Outputs After clicking on the Inputs/Outputs tile, tables with current information about all sensors, sources, pumps, add-on modules and three-way valves are displayed. This is a complete overview of all co- nnected and unconnected inputs and outputs from the controller.

Performance Settings for HRV Unit Comfort - Setting the performance of the HRV unit in comfort mode. Setback - Setting the power of the HRV unit in setback mode. The performance in the setback mode can only be set with the time program switched on. The time program settings are identical to the time program settings in zones 1 - 6.
E12.7. Universal Outputs (Universal functions) If the function is switched on at the service level, the UNI function 1 (UNI additional module) or UNI function 2 (UNI 2 additional module) menu is displayed. In the upper left part, the temperatures at the control sensors are displayed, temperature t1 is for thermostat 1, temperature t2 is the temperature for thermostat 2.
A parameter adjustable at the service level, for the user the value is only displayed. It determines the temperatures at which thermostat 2 will A typical setting of Thermostat 2 when used in the pool function is: the desired temperature 28 °C with switch-on difference -0.5 °C and switch-off difference -0.5 °C. With the parameters set in this way, the UNI function will be switched on when the pool temperature drops by 0.5 °C (control sensor is temperature t2) and switched off...

G4. Removing the Wiring Cover Warning: Danger of electric shock if live parts are touched! Before starting work, disconnect the RegulusBOX from the power supply (by switching off the relevant circuit breaker in the house switchboard). Disassembly of the wiring cover may only be carried out by a person professionally qualified in ac- cordance with EN 50110-1! The cover is attached with two screws at the bottom.
G6. Discontinuing Operation If there is a risk of water freezing in the device (e.g. if the device is out of operation in an unheated room), drain all water from the RegulusBOX, the heat pump and the pipes - especially in places where the temperature may drop below 0 °C.
