Operation
E.2 Parametrisation
The rst time the controller is turned on
and after the language and time are set,
a query appears as to whether you want
to parametrise the controller using the
commissioning help or not. The commis-
sioning help can also be terminated or
called up again at any time in the special
functions menu. The commissioning help
guides you through the necessary basic
settings in the correct order, and pro-
vides brief descriptions of each parameter in the display. Pressing the esc key takes
you back to the previous value so you can look at the selected setting again or adjust
it if desired. Pressing the esc more than once takes you back step by step to the
selection mode, thus cancelling the commissioning help. Finally, under operating mode
menu 4.2 Manual should be used to test the switch outputs with the consumers
connected, and to check the sensor values for plausibility. Then switch on automatic
mode.
20
Operation
E.4 Menu sequence and menu structure
The graphics or overview mode appears
when no key has been pressed for 2 min-
utes, or when the main menu is exited by
pressing esc.
21
Measurement values
1. - Measurement values
The menu 1. Measurement values
serves to display the currently measured
temperatures.
If the cables are too long or the sensors are not placed optimally, the
result may be small deviations in the measurement values. In this case
Caution the display values can be compensated for by making entries on the
controller. Follow the instructions under 7.3.
What measurement values are displayed depends on the selected pro-
gram, the connected sensors and the specic device design.
22
Statistics
2. - Statistics
The menu 2. Statistics is used for function
control and long-term monitoring of the system.
For analysis of the system data it is essential for the time to be set accurately
on the controller. Please note that the clock continues for about 24 hours if the
mains voltage is interrupted, and must be reset afterwards. Improper operation
Caution or an incorrect time may result in data being deleted, recorded incorrectly or
overwritten. The manufacturer accepts no liability for the recorded data!

In graphics mode, the selected hydraulic systems are depicted graphically with the
measured temperatures and operating states of the connected consumers.
3.2. - Overview
In overview mode, the measured temperatures and operating states of the connected consum-
ers are depicted in text form.

4. - Operating modes
In menu 4. Operating modes the con-
troller can either be placed in automatic
mode, switched off, or placed in a manual
operating mode.
4.1. - Automatic
Automatic mode is the normal operating mode of the controller. Only automatic mode
provides proper controller function taking into account the current temperatures and
the parameters that have been set! After an interruption of the mains voltage the con-
troller automatically returns to the last operating mode selected!
4.2. - Manual
The relay and thus the connected consumer are switched on and off by pressing a
key, with no regard to the current temperatures and the parameters which have been
set. The measured temperatures are also shown to provide an overview and function
control.
4.3. - Off
When the operating mode Off is activated, all controller functions are
switched off. This can lead, for example, to overheating on the solar
Caution collector or other system components. The measured temperatures
continue to be shown shown to provide an overview.

5.1 - Tmin S1
Enable/start temperature at sensor 1
If this value is exceeded at sensor 1 and the other conditions are also met, then the
controller switches the pump and/or valve on. If the temperature at sensor 1 drops
below this value by 5K, then the pump and/or valve is switched off again.
Setting range: from 0C to 99C / default setting: 20C (solid fuel boiler: 60C)
When using application 3 with solid fuel boiler, at least 60C should
be set. Consider instructions of boiler manufacturer!
Caution
5.4 - Tmax S2
Switch-off temperature at sensor 2
If this value is exceeded at sensor 2 and the other conditions are also met, then the
controller switches the pump and/or valve off. If sensor 2 falls below this value again
and the other conditions are also met, then the controller switches the pump and/or
valve on again.
Setting range: from Off (Solid fuel boiler), 0C to 99C (can be switched off in thermo-
stat systems)
Default setting: 60C (swimming pool: Default: 30C)
Temperature values which are set too high can lead to scalding or dam-

Danger tomer!
26
Settings
5.8 - T R1
Switching condition: Temperature difference for relay R1:
If the temperature difference T between the reference sensors is exceeded and the
other conditions are also met, then the controller switches the pump/valve on. If the
temperature difference between the reference sensors drops to Toff, then the pump/
valve is switched off again.
Settings range: T: 3C to 50C / Toff: 2C to T minus 1
Default: T 10C / Toff 3C.
If the set temperature difference is too small, this may result in

5.20 - Tmax S1
Switch-off temperature at sensor 1
If this value is exceeded at sensor 1 and the other conditions are also met, then the
controller switches the pump and/or valve off. If sensor 1 falls below this value again
and the other conditions are also met, then the controller switches the pump and/or
valve on again.
Setting range: from 0C to 99C

5.22 - Tmax S3
Switch-off temperature at sensor 3
If this value is exceeded at sensor 3 and the other conditions are also met, then the
controller switches the relay off. If sensor 3 falls below this value again and the other
conditions are also met, then the controller switches the relay on again.
Setting range: from 0C to 99C

29
Protective functions
6.3. - System protection (solar only) priority protection
System protection prevents overheating of system components by automatic shutdown
of the solar pump. If AS Ton is exceeded at the collector, the pump is switched off.
The pump is activated again when the temperature drops below AS TOff.
Automatic shutdown - settings range: On / Off / Default: on
AS Ton - settings range: 60 C to 150 C / Default: 120 C
AS Toff - settings range: 50 C to Ton minus 5 C / Default: 110 C
When system protection is on, the temperature in the idle collector will be very
high, thus the pressure in the system will rise and can damage your system.
Caution Pay close attention to the instructions of the system manufacturer.

Protective functions
6.6. - Recooling (solar only)
In hydraulic systems with solar when the recooling function is activated excess energy
from the storage tank is fed back into the collector. This only takes place if the temper-
ature in the storage tank is higher than the value Recool Tsetpoint and the collector
is at least 20C cooler than the storage tank and until the storage tank temperature
has dropped below the value Recool Tsetpoint.

(solar only)
With some solar systems, especially with vacuum tube collectors, it may occur that
the measurement value acquisition at the collector sensor occurs too slowly or too
inaccurately because the sensor is often not at the hottest location. When the start
help is activated the following sequence is carried out:
If the temperature at the collector sensor increases by the value specied under
Increase within one minute, then the solar pump is switched on for the set Purging
time so that the medium to be measured can be moved to the collector sensor. If
this still does not result in a normal switch-on condition, then the start help function is
subject to a 5-minute lockout time.

Danger
following specications: T2A 250V
Z.2.1
Fuse
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. In that case, open the device
as described under C.1, remove the old fuse and check it. Exchange the defective
fuse for a new one, locate the external source of the error (e.g. pump) and exchange it.
Then rst recommission the controller and check the function of the switch outputs in
manual mode as described under 4.2.

Maintenance
Z.3. Maintenance
In the course of the general annual maintenance of your heating system you
should also have the functions of the controller checked by a specialist and
Caution have the settings optimised if necessary.
Performing maintenance:
- Check the date and time (see 7.4. - Time and Date on page 40 )
- Assess/check plausibility of analyses (see 2. - Statistics on page 23)
- Check the message log (see 2.5. - Message log on page 23)
- Verify/check plausibility of the current measurement values
(see 1. - Measurement values on page 22)
- Check the switch outputs/consumers in manual mode (see 4.2. - Manual on page 25)
