Ⅰ General information
1 About this manual
This manual book describes the installation, functions and operation rules of our intelligent
controller series for solar water heating control system. When install with other applications on
this system, such as solar collector, pump station, and storage, please follow the instruction of
correlative suppliers. The installation, electrical connection, adjustment and maintenance should
be carried out by a qualified specialist.

2 Safety rules
- The controller can’t be installed in the room where easily inflammable and explosive mixtures (e.g.
gas or oil) are present or may occur.
- The controller can’t be installed in the location which exceeds its allowable environment condition.
- All operations which require opening the controller are only to be taken without the power
supply. And the operation should be carried out by a qualified specialist.
- Before connecting the electrical wire, make sure that the power supply matches the required
parameter. All devices connected to the controller must match the technical parameter of it.
- Once the controller is damaged or failure to work, please take it out of system and inform the supplier.

3 Liability waivers
- Improper installation or operation can cause damages to material and persons. The manufacturer
cannot monitor the compliance with these instructions or the circumstances and methods used
for installation, operation, utilization and maintenance of this device. Damage by mishandling or
improper installation on costumer site is immediately leading to warranty exclusion.
- As faults can never be excluded, we don’t offer a guarantee for the completeness of the drawings
and texts of this manual, they only represent some examples. They can only be used on own risk.
No liability is assumed for incorrect, incomplete or false information and the resulting damages.
- The manufacturer preserves the right to put changes to product, technical date or installation and
operation instructions without prior notice.

4 About Sensors
- Only original equipped PT1000 temperature sensors can be matched the solar collector. It is equipped
with 1.5m silicone wire and suitable for all kinds of weather conditions. They can resist the
temperature up to 280℃. There is no need to distinguish the positive and negative charges when
connect them to the controller.
- Only original equipped NTC10K temperature sensors can be matched the storage and pipeline. It is
equipped with 1.5m PVC wire. They can resist the temperature up to 105℃. There is no need to
distinguish the positive and negative charges when connect them to the controller.
- All sensor wires can carry low voltage. In order to avoid inductive effects, the wires must not be laid
close to 230 V or 400 V cables (The min. distance should be 100mm).
- If external inductive effects exist, e.g. heavy current cables, overhead train cables, transformer
substations, radio and television devices, amateur radio stations or microwave devices, then the
wires for the sensors must be adequately shielded.
- Sensor wires can be extended to a maximum length of 100m. When it is extended to 50m, use
0.75mm 2 wire. When it is extended to 100m, use1.5 mm 2 wire.

Ⅳ Fault message

Note 1:
If there are faults on the controller, please do not repair it by yourself. It should be taken by the
qualified specialist.
If there is a problem with the controller or temperature sensor, the fault signals will be displayed on
the screen as the following:

Fault signal <FF> <FE>

Solution Check the connection or resistance value of the sensor, replace it on necessary.

Note 2:
Use Ohmmeter to check the resistance value of sensors. According to the comparative with the
standard value, the fault sensor can be checked out. When check the resistance value, the sensor
should be cut off from the system. Small error can be allowed when compare the test value with the
standard value.
