No function
System 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10:
The kick pump function can be activated
during periods of the day in which solar
heating is required [P05-P06]. This function
ensures that the sensor measures effective
collector temperature even if the collector
pump is off at the time.
The function is disabled when no switching
times have been set (P05=P06=OFF) or the
kick duration is zero (P60= OFF).
After each pause set for the kick function
[P61], the corresponding collector pump is
activated for the kick time set [P60] (ensu-
ring heat is carried to the probe). If during
the monitoring time [P62] the collector probe
measures a temperature increase of 0.5°C,
the collector pump is operated for one minu-
te. The switching conditions for the collector
pump are then monitored.
05 Kick pump function ON time
The temperature monitoring function starts at
this time.
06 Kick pump function OFF time
The temperature monitoring function ends at
this time.
The set temperature [P47] is enabled until
this time.
PUMP
In most systems this can be selected as a
supplementary function (see the special fun-
ctions section).
P54=1: The pump runs continuously during
run time P09-P10.
P54=2: The pump runs intermittently during
run time P09-P10.
P54=3: The pump is controlled by the anti-
legionella function.

AUXILIARY HEATING FUNCTION

System 7 only:
When activating the post-heating function, a
temperature can be set [P47] for the selected
storage cylinder.
During the time the function is enabled [P07-
P08], this temperature is maintained constant
by activating an additional heater.
Supplementary heating is switched on if the
temperature measured by sensor F3 is below
P47- P34 (post-heating control hysteresis)
and P52 (solar equilibrium tolerance).
It is switched off if the temperature measured
by sensor F3 exceeds nominal temperature
P47 (within solar equilibrium P47-P52).

23 Actual speed
Displays the actual speed of A1 in %.
Selects speed control mode.
0 = automatic (the controller regulates speed).
1 = manual (the speed of A1 is determined by
the set value).
25 Nominal speed
Only active in Manual mode [P24=1].
Presets the speed of A1.
26 Minimum speed
Only active in Auto mode [P24=0].
Sets minimum speed in % (P26 < P27). The
selected value must ensure effective control
and functioning of the pump.
27 Maximum speed
Only active in Auto mode [P24=0].
Sets maximum speed in % (P27 > P26).
28 Differential temperature for 100% speed
Only active in Auto mode [P24=0].
This is the difference in temperature between
collector 1 and the active storage cylinder that
corresponds to the maximum (100%) pump
speed signal and therefore maximum pump
speed. If this differential decreases, pump
speed is reduced proportionally, eventually to
minimum speed.

perature [P42]. The function is enabled again
when the collector temperature is below the
temperature [P42] -3°C.
46 Switching threshold for storage cylinder
cooling
System 2: No function
System 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10:
P46 = 0 -> no storage cylinder cooling
P46 > 0 -> storage cylinder cooling active
If during the day the collector protection fun-
ction has filled the storage cylinders above
the maximum temperatures P50 and P51, by
activating this function the cylinder can auto-
matically be cooled at night between 1:00 and
6:00 by activating the fill pumps until reaching
the maximum temperature set for the storage
cylinders P50/P51. During this period, the
storage cylinders cannot be filled by any other
functions. This function is designed to protect
the storage cylinder.
Cooling can only occur when the storage
cylinder temperature exceeds the collec-
tor temperature by at least the switching
threshold [P46] +3°C.
47 Set temperature for central heating
The additional heating device (A3) is enabled
when the temperature at the top of the storage
cylinder (F3/F5) is lower than the limit set here
by [P34]. It is disabled when the temperature
of the storage cylinder exceeds the enable
temperature.
If solar heating performance is higher, the
heating device is enabled when the storage
cylinder temperature is [P47] - [P34] - [P52].
50 Maximum storage cylinder temperature
bbIf the storage cylinder is fitted with a top
probe (F3), then the maximum tempe-
rature is monitored by this probe. If this
probe is not installed, then the maximum
storage cylinder temperature is monito-
red using probe F4. In this case, stratifi-
cation inside the storage cylinder needs
to be taken into consideration.
Systems 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 10:
The circulating pumps are disabled if the tem-
perature in storage cylinder 1 exceeds the
safety limit value set here to protect the system.
The pumps are enabled when the temperatu-
re falls below the temperature set [maximum
storage cylinder temperature – 5°C].
System 2, 5:
The mixing valve A3 deviates the flow towards
the second storage cylinder (relay A3 ON) when
the temperature of the first collector exceeds
the safety limit value set here. The mixing valve
closes (relay A3 OFF) when the temperature is
less than the value of [P50] – 5°C.
System 6:
As for systems 2 and 5, storage cylinder 2 can
be charged further using pump A3.
51 Maximum temperature of storage cylinder 2
Systems 1, 3, 4, 7, 8, 10: No function 13
Systems 2, 5:
Circulating pump A1 is disabled if the tempera-
ture in storage cylinder 2 exceeds the safety limit
value set here and storage cylinder 1 cannot be
filled (A3 towards storage cylinder 2).
The pump is enabled when the temperature is
less than the temperature [P51] – 5°C.
Systems 6, 9:
Fill pump A3 is disabled when the temperatu-
re of storage cylinder 2 exceeds the limit set
here to protect the system.
The pump is enabled again when the tem-
perature is less than the temperature [P51]
– 5°C.
After 30 minutes, filling of the second storage
cylinder is interrupted for 2 minutes. If the
temperature of the storage cylinder rises by
at least 1°C during this time, filling remains
stopped for a further 2 minutes. This cycle
is repeated until no temperature increase is
detected or until the fill pump for the first sto-
rage cylinder is switched on.
52 Solar supplement tolerance
If the storage cylinder is filled by the collector
(A1 = ON), then the additional heater is ena-
bled only if the storage cylinder temperature
is less than the set temperature [P47] by the
value [P52] + [P34]. The heater is disabled
again if the storage cylinder temperature rea-
ches the value [P47] - [P52].
INSTALLER MANUAL
ANTI-LEGIONELLA FUNCTION
The storage cylinder is heated to its anti-
legionella temperature P53 at the set time of
P11 every Saturday. This function is only acti-
vated if anti-legionella temperature (P53) has
not been reached during the previous week.
The temperature is monitored by probe F4
"bottom of storage cylinder".
The Anti-Legionella function is disabled if the
set temperature cannot be reached in 3 hours
or alternatively if the maximum temperature
set for the storage cylinder is reached, as
measured by probe F3 (only if fitted).
The anti-legionella cycle can only be comple-
ted successfully provided the boiler is able
to reach the required temperature during the
anti-legionella cycle.
53 Anti-Legionella function
OFF = Operation disabled (default)
50°C - 70°C= Operation enabled, rated tem-
perature value set.
SUPPLEMENTARY FUNCTIONS OF RELAY A3
If relay A3 is not used for a specific system
function, it can be programmed to perform
any desired supplementary function.
14 54 Function of A3
0 = Output not used.
1 = The pump runs continuously during run
time P09-P10.
2 = The pump runs intermittently during run
time P09-P10; the output is only on when the
PWM pulse is ON.
3 = The pump performs the anti-legionella
function; the output is active while the anti-
legionella function is active.
4 = Heating of storage cylinder 1, based on
temperature sensor F3.
5 = Heating of storage cylinder 2, based on
temperature sensor F5.
6 = Storage cylinder 1 return temperature
control.
7 = Storage cylinder 2 return temperature
control.
8 = Solar collector protection: the output
switches on if collector protection temperature
(P45) is exceeded.
It switches off at P45-2°C.
PWM pump control
If the PWM input develops a short circuit, the
pump runs for the duration set in P55. The
pump can then be restarted only after the start
delay set in P56. The pump only runs during
its run time [P09-P10].
Supplementary heating
The supplementary heating function is only
active during its on time [P07-P08]. During
this time, if the nominal temperature set for
the storage cylinder falls by at least 5°C
(within the solar equilibrium P52+5°C), then
the output selected for supplementary heating
is switched on until nominal temperature is
reached, at which point the supplementary
heating is switched OFF.
55 Pump run time
Duration of pump run time in minutes after the
transmission of a PWM pulse.
56 Pump restart delay
After the pump has been running, it can be
switched on again only after this delay.
KICK PUMP FUNCTION (CHECK
TEMPERATURE FUNCTION)
By activating the collector pump for a short
period, the heat exchange fluid heated by the
collector flows past the probe, allowing the
collector temperature to be measured.
System 2: No function
Systems 1, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10:
60 Kick duration [sec]
Duration of collector pump operation for the
kick pump function.
61 Kick pause [min]
If the collector pump is not operating for the
time set here, then it is started for the "Kick
duration" [P 60].
62 Monitoring time for 0.5°C increase [min]
In this period of time after the kick pump
function is activated, the trend in the collector
temperature is monitored. If the temperature
increases by at least 0.5°C, the pump is acti-
vated for another minute.
FROST PROTECTION
63 Frost protection temperature
If the temperature of the solar collector falls
below the set frost protection temperature, the
collector’s pumps are switched on.
The pumps are switched off again when
the temperature of the collector rises to 2°C
above the set frost protection temperature.
ESTIMATED PRODUCTION / FLOW METER
During the operation of the collector pump,
the impulses from an optional flow meter are
counted (see connection diagram: Impulse).
Based on the flow measured (by entering the
value per flow meter impulse for [P70]) and
the temperature difference between F1 and
F4, the controller can calculate the amount of
solar heating produced.
bbSystems 1, 5, 6: If on these systems
probe F2 is installed as a return circuit
probe for the collector, then the tempe-
rature difference is calculated by F1 - F2.

bbSystem 4: For system 4 solar heating pro-
duction is calculated for both collectors.
Consequently, if both collector pumps
are on, the heat flows are calculated
based on the proportion of flow [P72].
To make the calculation the type of heat
exchange fluid in the system must be set
(type of glycol = [P79]) and the proportion of
water in the mixture [P78].
The daily and total production are displayed
in [kWh]; for values over 10 MW the total pro-
duction is displayed in [MWh]. This change
is indicated on the display by three arrows.
At midnight the daily production value is set
back to zero. Both values can be set to zero
manually in the user level by pressing the
“OK” button.
bbIf a pulse transducer is not installed,
the production value can be estimated.
To do this, enter the average flow-rate
through the corresponding collector with
the pump operating [P75]+[P76]. The
flow can be determined by installing a
pump operating hour counter or by cal-
culation (installer).
Tip for calculating the flow:
approx. 0,5 [l/min] per square metre of collec-
tor surface area.
bbWarning! This value is not applicable to
Low Flow systems.

OTHER FUNCTIONS
PWM/0…10V pump control
These relay outputs are ideal for use with a
high efficiency pump. Pump speed can be
controlled by PWM or a 0-10 Volt input signal.
The control method (PWM or 0-10 Volt) can be
selected and the pump control values set in
the following parameters.
P101 Speed control

Anti-block function
This function effectively prevents the pumps
from blocking due to excessive inactivity.
The integrated anti-block function means that
all pumps that have not operated over the last
24 hours are started for 5 seconds each day,
between 12.00 and 12.01.

Stop pumps (temperature monitoring)

The filling of the second storage cylinder (2)
(measured by probe F3) is stopped for 60
sec. Every 30 min. After this time, the condi-
tions to start filling the main storage cylinder
(probe F4) are checked.
This function is only performed if the main sto-
rage cylinder has not reached the maximum
temperature [F4 < ([P50]-5°C)].

INCREASING RETURN TEMPERATURE
Special functions can be used to increase
return temperature: [P54=6 (storage cylinder
1; F4), P54=7 (storage cylinder 2; F2)].
The return from the heating circuit is heated
by passing it through the buffer tank.
Relay A3 activates this function when the tem-
perature in the storage cylinder exceeds the
return temperature (F5) of the second activa-
tion threshold [P32]. The valve is closed again
when the temperature of the storage cylinder
falls below the return temperature F5 + the
second deactivation threshold [P33].
CONCURRENT PROTECTION FUNCTIONS
The following figures show how control fun-
ctions can be used concurrently with protec-
tion functions.
If the collector protection functions (see P45)
and/or the storage cylinder cooling function
(see P46) are active, both can run the collector
pump.
2.10
Special functions
Depending on the system selected, relay
A3 can be programmed to perform special
functions. The desired function is selected by
means of parameter P54.
SUPPLEMENTARY HEATING
Special functions can be used to switch
on supplementary heating, e.g. an electrical
heating element: [P54=4 (storage cylinder 1),
P54=5 (storage cylinder 2)]. Supplementary
heating is switched on if the temperature of F3
in storage cylinder 1 (or F5 in storage cylinder
2) falls below the nominal temperature [P47]
set in [P34] (within the solar equilibrium range
[P47]-[P52]).
It is switched off as soon as the temperature in
the storage cylinder rises above the nominal
temperature.
This function is active during its on time [P07-
P08].

PUMP
Special functions can also be used to operate
a pump: [P54=1, P54=2, P54=3].
P54=1 => The pump runs continuously during
run time P09-P10.
P54=2 => If the PWM input develops a short
circuit, the pump runs for the duration (in
minutes) set in P55. The pump can then be
restarted only after the start delay set in P56.
The pump only runs during its run time [P09-
P10].
P54=3 => The pump runs while the anti-
legionella function is active.
