 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.

Observe the explanations for the the individual parameters on the

following pages, and check whether further settings are necessary
Caution for your application.

E.3 Free commissioning

If you decide not to use the commissioning help, you should make the
necessary settings in the following sequence:

prevent the pump and/or valve from sticking after an extended stationary period.
Setting range: daily, weekly, off / default value: Off

6.2. - Frost protection (solar only)

A two-stage frost protection function can be activated. In stage 1 the controller
switches the pump on for 1 minute every hour if the collector temperature drops below
the set value Frost stage 1.
If the collector temperature drops further to the set value Frost stage 2 the controller
switches the pump on continuously. If the collector temperature then exceeds the
value Frost stage 2 by 2C, the pump switches off again.
Frost protection setting range: on, off / default setting: off
Frost stage 1 setting range: from -25C to 10C or off / default setting: 7C
Frost stage 2 setting range: from -25C to 8C / default setting: 5C

This function causes energy to be lost via the collector! It is normally not activated
for solar systems with antifreeze. Observe the operating instructions for the other
Caution system components!

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.

6.4. - Collector protection (solar only)

Collector protection prevents overheating of the collector. The pump is switched on to

transfer heat from the collector to the storage tank.
If CP Ton is exceeded at the collector sensor, the pump is switched on until the tem-
perature reaches CP Toff or the temperature CP Tmax storage is exceeded in the
storage or pool.
Collector protection settings range: on / off / Default: off
CP Ton settings range: 60C to 150C / Default: 110C
CP Toff settings range: 50C to Ton minus 10C / Default: 100C
CP Tmax storage settings range: 0C to 140C / Default: 90C

When collector protection is active, the storage or pool is heated well

beyond Tmax S2 (see 5.2) which can result in scalding and system dam-
Danger age.

6.5. - Col.- Alarm (solar only)

If this temperature is exceeded at the collector sensor when the solar pump is on a
warning or error message is triggered. A warning message is shown in the display.

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.
Recooling settings range: on / off / Default: off
Recooling Tset settings range: 0C to 99C / Default: 70C

This function causes energy to be lost via the collector! The

recooling should only be activated in exceptional cases.

6.7. - Anti-Legionella
With the AL function activated the STDC makes it possible to heat the storage tank
up to a higher temperature (AL Tsetpoint S2, provided that the energy source allows
this. Time periods where the AL heat up is attempted are to be setup in the menu AL
times Once the temperature AL Tset S2 is reached, the controller will try to maintain
this temperature for the time period set in AL residence time. When this happened,
the time and date is saved and displayed in the menulog AL heat.

AL times - settings range: Mo-Su , 0-24h/ Default: daily 3-5h

The anti-Legionella function is switched off at delivery.

For solar: This function is only relevant for storage tanks where sensor
2 is installed. Whenever heating-up has been carried out with the anti-
Legionella function being switched on, an information message with the
Caution
date is shown in the display.
For thermostat: S1 is used as switch-off sensor. When both S1 and S2
are connected, they both have to reach AL Tset S1 to successfully nish
the AL heat up.

During the anti-Legionella function the storage tank is heated up

over the set value Tmax S2, which can lead to scalding and
Danger damage to the system.

This anti-Legionella function does not provide complete protection

against Legionella, because the controller is dependent on sufcient
energy being fed in, and it is not possible to monitor the temperatures in
the entire range of the storage tanks and the connected piping system.
To provide complete protection against Legionella bacteria, it must be
Caution
ensured that the temperature is raised to the necessary temperature,
and at the same time there must be water circulation in the storage tank
and piping system by means of other additional energy sources and
control units.

7.3. - Speed control
(only STDC version 2, 3 and 4)
If the speed control is activated, the STDC makes it possible to vary the speed of standard
pumps at relay by means of special internal electronics.

This function should only be activated by a specialist. Depending on the

pump and pump stage used, the minimum speed should not be set too
low, because otherwise the pump or the system may be damaged. The
Caution information provided by the relevant manufacturer must also be ob-
served! If in doubt, the min. speed and the pump stage should generally
be set too high rather than too low.

7.3.1. - Speed control mode

(only STDC version 2, 3 and 4)
The following speed variants are available here:
Off: There is no speed control. The connected pump is only switched on or off with full
speed.
Mode V1: After the purging time the controller switches to the set max. speed. If the
temperature difference T between the reference sensors (collector and storage tank)
is smaller than the set value T R1, then the speed is decreased.
If the temperature difference between the reference sensors is greater than the set
value (Switch-on temperature difference T R1), then the speed is increased. If the
controller has adjusted the speed of the pump down to the smallest stage and the T
between the reference sensors is T off, the pump is switched off.
Mode V2: After the purging time the controller switches to the set min. speed. If the
temperature difference T between the reference sensors (collector and storage tank)
is greater than the set value, then the speed is increased. If the temperature difference
T between the reference sensors is below the set value, then the speed is decreased.
If the controller has adjusted the speed of the pump down to the smallest stage and
the T between the reference sensors is Toff, the pump is switched off.
Mode V3: After the purging time the controller switches to the set min. speed. If the
temperature at the reference sensor (collector, in systems with heat exchanger on
relay 2 the heat exchanger instead) is greater than the setpoint to be set subsequently,
then the speed is increased. If the temperature at the reference sensor (collector) is
less than the setpoint to be set subsequently, then the speed is decreased.
