using with tank and pipe, it is equipped with 3m PVC cable, and the cable is
temperature resistant up to 105 oC, connect the temperature sensors to the
corresponding terminals with either polarity.
 All sensor cables carry low voltage, and to avoid inductive effects, must not be laid close
to 230 volt or 400 volt cables (minimum separation of 100mm).
 If external inductive effects are existed, e.g. from heavy current cables, overhead train
cables, transformer substations, radio and television devices, amateur radio stations,
microwave devices etc., then the cables to the sensors must be adequately shielded.
 Sensor cables may be extended to a maximum length of ca. 100 meter, when cable’s
length is up to 50m, and then 0.75mm2 cable should be used. When cable’s length is up
to 100m, and then 1.5mm2 cables should be used.

7. Functions operation and parameters setting (for user)
7.1 THET Timing heating

Function description:
Electrical heater or gas / oil boiler is normally used as back-up heating source of a solar hot
water system. Through this timing heating function controller can keep the tank temperature
constantly. When tank temperature (T3) drops below the switch-on thermostats temperature,
back-up heating output HR is triggered, when T3 rises up to the switch-off thermostats
temperature, HR is ceased.
 Set time sections and temperature for timing heating daily
Factory set:
 The first time section: default at 4:00 to start heating, and at 5:00 to stop heating, and
the switch-on temperature of heating is 40oC，switch-off temperature is 50oC。
 The second time section: default at 10:00 to start heating, and at 10:00 to stop heating,
and the switch-on temperature of heating is 50oC，switch-off temperature is 55oC。
 The Third time section: default at 17:00 to start heating, and at 22:00 to stop heating,
and the switch-on temperature of heating is 50oC，switch-off temperature is 55oC。
If you set the start time and close time with a same value, which means within this time
section, the timing heating function is switched-off. For example, at the second time section,
start time is set at 10:00, but close time is also set at 10:00.
Timing heating function is run at the preset time section, 3 time sections can be set, and
within every time section, the desired temperature may be different. The adjustable range of
switch-on temperature is 0oC ~ (OFF-2oC), switch-off temperature range is (ON+2oC) ~
95oC.
 SMT Intelligent heating
Page 15 of 59
At the case that solar energy is insufficient to heat the tank, in order to ensure user has
sufficient hot water, controller will check the temperature of tank automatically at the preset
time, if tank’s temperature is not reached to the desired temperature, then back-up heat
device will be triggered, and when tank’s temperature rises up to the desired value, then
back-up heat device stops.
Factory set: （impossible to be adjusted）

 Default at 13:00 of the first time section to trigger the back-up heat device to heat tank to
30 oC,
 Default at 14:00 of the second time section to trigger the back-up heat device to heat
tank to 35 oC,
 Default at 15:00 of the third time section to trigger the back-up heat device to heat tank
to 40 oC,
 Default at 16:00 of the forth time section to trigger the back-up heat device to heat tank
to 45 oC,
 Default at 17:00 of the fifth time section to trigger the back-up heat device to heat tank to
50 oC.
Note：
If larger power electrical heater (larger than 1500KW) is used, according to the power, we
suggest configuring a contactor and a safety protection device, we suggest strongly installing
an accessory “SR802” (see detailed in item No.12)

7.2 CIRC DHW circulation pump controlled by temperature and time

This controller provides an output for running DHW circulation pump, which can be controlled
by a temperature sensor, at this case, an extra circuit pump (connect to the output R2) and
an extra temperature sensor installed on the hot water return pipe (connect to the input T4)
should be installed in the system. When the temperature of DHW return is lower than the
preset switch-on temperature, circuit pump is triggered, until temperature rises up to the
switch-off temperature, pump is stopped.
2 controlling modes are designed for running DHW circulation pump
 Time controlled DHW pump within the preset 3 time sections (default Mode)
Page 18 of 59
Within a time section, if DHW circulation pump is

controlled by time, at this case, only an extra circuit pump
(connect to output R2) is needed. Pump is triggered by
time, within a running time section, as default set, pump
runs for 3 minutes (adjustable range 0-30 minutes) and
then ceases for 15 minutes (adjustable range 0-60
minutes), same process repeated within the running time
section.
Note: if the ceased time (CYCF) is set to 0 minute, it means within this time section,
circuit pump keeps running without any stop.
Default time section:
 The first time section: starts at 05:00, stops at 7:00, runs 3 minutes, then stops 15
minutes
 The second time section: starts at 11:00, stops at 13:00, runs 3 minutes, then stops 15
minutes
 The first time section: starts at 17:00, stops at 22:00, runs 3 minutes, then stops 15
minutes
 Temperature controlled DHW pump within the preset 3 time sections

within a time section, when the DHW circulation pump is
controlled by temperature, as default set, pump R2 is
triggered when return temperature T4 is below 40 oC, and
it is stopped when T4 rises up to 45oC,
There is a precondition for triggering the DHW circuit
pump (set in submenu STAT):
START ON: tank’s temperature sensor (default T3) is
2oC higher than the preset switch-off temperature, and then DHW circuit pump can be
triggered.
Note: two Modes can’t play at the same time, when time controlled Mode is selected,
then temperature controlled Mode STAT can’t be activated.
Default time section:
 The first time section: starts at 05:00, stops at 7:00, runs at 40 oC，stops at 45oC
Page 19 of 59
 The second time section: starts at 11:00, stops at 13:00, runs at 40 oC，stops at 45oC
 The first time section: starts at 17:00, stops at 22:00, runs at 40 oC，stops at 45oC
If it is needed to close one time section, just set the start time and stop time with a same
value (e.g. 10:00 starts, 10:00 stops)
Note:
1) Only one control Mode can be selected, either time control mode or temperature control
mode.
2) If sensor T4 should be installed, in order to avoid measuring error, please ensure to
install sensor at 1.5m far to tank.
3) Both time control mode and temperature control mode, the parameter set steps are
same.

8.2 LOAD tank heating

 △T control logic
The controller works as a standard temperature differential controller. If the temperature
reaches or exceeds the switch-on temperature difference (DTO), the pump R1 switches on.
When the temperature difference reaches or falls below the adjusted switch-off temperature
difference (DTF), the respective relay R1 switches off.
Note: The switch-on temperature difference must be 0.5K higher than the switch-off
temperature difference. The set temperature difference must be at least 0.5K higher
than the switch-on temperature difference.
 Pump speed control

If the temperature reaches or exceeds the set point of the switch-on temperature difference,
pump is triggered and runs for 10 seconds at the 100% speed, and then, pump speed is
reduced to its lowest pump speed.
If the temperature reaches the set temperature difference TDS, pump speed is increased
10%，controller will adjust by parameter RIS to meet this change. Temperature difference
rises a range which defined by parameter RIS, pump speed increases 10% until to its
maximum pump speed 100%. If temperature difference drops a range which defined by
parameter RIS, pump speed reduces 10% accordingly.
Note: in order to activate the pump speed control function, control type of the
corresponding of pump should be set (MIN, MAX), there are 4 pump control types, they are
PULS, PSOL, PHEA or 0-10V (adjustable under menu pump)
 SMX Maximum tank temperature protection set

If the tank temperature reaches the adjusted maximum temperature, then tank will no longer
be loaded in order to avoid damage caused by overheating. If the maximum tank
temperature is exceeded, sign is displayed on the screen.
The sensor for tank maximum limitation (SMAX) can be selected. The maximum limitation
always refers to the sensor selected (T2 or T3). The switch-on hysteresis (HYST) is
Page 24 of 59
selectable (Default is 2oC), for example, when tank maximum temperature is set to 70 oC,
then at 68 oC, Maximum tank temperature protection function is deactivated automatically.

8.3 COL Collector function

Function description
 OCEM Collector emergency shutdown
When the collector temperature exceeds the adjusted collector emergency temperature,
Then solar pump (R1) switches off in order to protect the system components against
overheating (collector emergency shutdown). If the maximum collector temperature (OCEM)
is exceeded, sign blinks on the screen.
Page 26 of 59
Warning! Risk of injury! Risk of system damage by pressure surge! If water is used as
the heat transfer fluid in pressure systems, water will boil at 100 °C. Then do not set the
collector limit temperature higher than 95 °C.
 OCCO Collector cooling

The collector cooling function keeps the collector temperature rising within the operating
range by heating the tank. If the tank temperature reaches 95°C the function will be switched
off for safety reason.
When the tank temperature exceeds the adjusted maximum temperature of tank, then solar
system is switched off. If the collector temperature rises up to its adjusted maximum collector
temperature, the solar pump is switched on again until the collector temperature falls below
the maximum collector temperature. The tank temperature may then exceed its maximum
temperature, but only up to 95°C (emergency shutdown of the tank), and sign blinks on
the screen, system stops.
If the collector cooling is active, blinks on the screen.
Note: This function is only available when the heat transfer function (OHDP) is not
activated.
 OCMI Collector minimum temperature

The minimum collector temperature is the lowest temperature of collector, only when
collector temperature is higher than that temperature, solar pump (R1) just can be
switched-on, if the collector temperature falls below the adjusted minimum temperature,
Sign blinks on the screen (slowly blinks).
 OCFR Collector antifreeze function

Collector antifreeze function activates the loading circuit between the collector and the tank
when the collector temperature falls below the adjusted temperature CFRO. This will protect
the fluid against freezing or coagulating. If collector temperature exceeds the switch-off
temperature of collector antifreeze function CFRF, the solar pump will be switched off again.
If collector antifreeze function is activated, sign blinks on the screen.

Note: Since this function uses the limited heat which is saved in the tank, so the
antifreeze function should be used only in regions where the ambient temperature is
Page 27 of 59
around the freezing point only for a few days.
 OTCO Tube collector function

This function is designed for the system in which the position of collector sensor is not ideal;
purpose is to improve the system efficiency (for example for system use tube collector), this
function runs just within a set time section, controller will intermittent trigger solar pump (R1)
to push the hot water from tube collector to the position of sensor, to avoid the delay
measuring temperature.
If the running time is set over 10 seconds, then within the first 10seconds, pump runs at 100%
speed, and at the remain time, pump runs at its lowest pump speed.
If the sensor of collector is damaged, then this function is deactivated automatically.

8.5 COOL Cooling function

Function description
3 cooling functions for different devices can be activated by this function: system cooling,
tank cooling and heat transferring by external radiator
 OSYC System cooling
Purpose of system cooling is to last the lifetime of a solar system, this function will override
the limitation of tank maximum temperature and enable collector to transfer the heat
produced by collector to tank continuously. If tank temperature reaches its maximum
temperature already and the switch-on temperature difference DTCO is reached also, then
solar system will remain running and heating the tank until the switch-off temperature
difference DTCF or the collector emergency temperature OCEM reaches.
Note: this function is only enabled in the case that collector cooling function and heat
transferring function are closed.
 OSTC Tank cooling

When the tank cooling function is activated, the controller aims to cool down the tank during
the night in order to prepare it for solar loading on the following day. If the tank temperature
exceeds the adjusted maximum tank temperature SMAX, the collector temperature falls
Page 34 of 59
below the tank temperature and downwards to the switch-on temperature difference DTCO
of this cooling function, then system will be activated in order to cool down the tank by
releasing the energy through the collector.
If tank cooling function is activated, sign blinks on the screen
Note: if tank temperature reaches to 95 oC, all cooling functions will be locked.
Hysteresis switch on temperature difference is 5K.
 OHDP Heat transferring by external radiator

Heat transferring by external radiator function is designed to transfer the excess heat which
is generated under the strong solar irradiation through an external heat exchanger (e. g. fan
coil); the purpose is to keep the collector’s or tank’s temperature within the operating range.
For this function, an extra output should be added (R2 or R3 as option)
Heat transferring by external radiator function can control either an additional pump or a
valve (OTPM ON = pump logic, OTPM OFF = valve logic).
Heat transferring by external pump:
If the collector temperature reaches the adjusted switch-on temperature, the allocated relay
for pump is energized with 100 %; if the collector temperature falls by 5 K below the adjusted
collector overheat-temperature, the relay will be switched off. When heat transferring is
achieved by pump, then the heat transferring function is independent from solar loading.
Below is the example of this application for reference.
Collector valve logic heat transferring Collector pump logic heat transferring
Sign displays on the screen, it indicates that valve logic heat transferring is running.
Sign displays on the screen, it indicates that pump logic heat transferring is running.
Page 35 of 59
Note:
1. When collector overheat temperature OTST is 10K below the CEM temperature of
collector emergency shutdown, then collector overheat temperature OTST is locked
2. Heat transferring function is only available when collector cooling function (OCCO) is
deactivated.

FLOW (Flow monitoring) function description
Flow monitoring function is designed to detect whether flow exists in the solar system and
therefore to switch-off the corresponding pump in case of no flow, It can protect system from
damage, e.g. to avoid pump dry running, and it keeps the system runs properly.
If relay R1 is powered, flow rate of flow sensor will be monitored. After a delay time section
(DELA), if no flow rate is detected, then solar pump R1 is ceased, and error message will
Page 49 of 59
appear, and at the same time sign blinks on the screen. It may indicate that system
has no fluid or pump R1 is damaged
If flow monitoring function is already activated, then tank heating is stopped until the error
message is removed. If possible, when error message is solved, monitoring function will be
reactivated.
Note: if VFS sensor is selected, then when error message appears, it is possible to
check the reason of VFS error under check menu.
1. Checking menu L/M display “ -------“, it indicates VFS function is activated, but Grundfos
flow meter VFS is not connected to the controller.
2. Checking menu L/M displays “00”, it indicates VFS has no flow, it may indicate that
system has no fluid or pump R1 is damaged
