CMN:

Minimum collector temp.
Adjustment range:
50 to 195 °F

Recommended setting: 50 °F

Channel only available when 
OCN is active

This function is unnecessary if the system backup heating ele-
ment has a set point maintained at 120 °F.

OCF:

Antifreeze function
Adjustment: OFF / ON

Recommended setting: OFF

This function is used to transfer heat from the storage tank to 
the collector in order to avoid freezing of the heat transfer me-
dium in some system types.

Note: Since this function uses the limited heat quantity of the 
tank, the antifreeze function should only be used in regions 
with a few days of temperature around the freezing point.  The 
antifreeze function will be suppressed if the tank temperature 
falls below 40 °F in order to protect the tank from frost damage.

If the system uses a 50/50 solution of propylene glycol and 
water it is freeze resistant to -30 °F; therefore, this function is 
not necessary.

There is an automatic antifreeze function for the heat exchanger 
that activates R2 (100%) if the heat exchanger temperature 
falls below 40 °F.

CFRO:

Antifreeze temperature on
Adjustment range: 
38 to 48 °F

Recommended setting: 39 
°F

Channel only available when 
OCF is active

CFRF:
Antifreeze temperature off

Adjustment range:
40 to 50 °F

Recommended setting: 41 
°F

Channel only available when 
OCF is active

O TC:

Tube collector function
Adjustment: OFF / ON

Recommended setting: OFF

The tube collector function is only needed for systems that use 
vacuum tube solar collectors.

This function is not necessary for this system.

OHQM:

Heat quantity measurement
Adjustment: OFF / ON

Recommended setting: OFF

If enabled a heat quantity measurement is possible for this 
system in conjunction with the fl ow meter.

FMAX:

Volume fl ow in gal/min
Adjustment range: 
0.0 to 5.0 gal/min in steps of 
0.2 gal/min

Recommended setting: pump 
station fl ow meter reading.

Channel only available when 
OHQM is active

For OHQM to give an accurate reading the volume fl ow readable 
at the fl owmeter (l/min) must be adjusted in the channel FMAX.

MEDT:

Type of antifreeze
Adjustment range: 0 to 3

Recommended setting: 1

Channel only available when 
OHQM is active.

For OHQM to give an accurate reading the type of heat transfer 
fl uid type(antifreeze) must be set in the channel MEDT: 
0: water
1: propylene glycol
2: ethylene glycol
3: Tyfocor ® LS / G – LS
Caution: for this system type only type 1: propylene glycol 
should be selected.  Use of any other type of heat transfer fl uid 
in this system may cause damage to the system or present a 
health hazard
