1.DESCRIPTION

The

 Microsol

 

BMP Advanced

 

 is a differential thermostat for solar heating with 

three sensors and two outputs, which operate in the water circulation pump control and in 
thermal support. It is equipped with a clock and an event schedule for economic and 
rational use of the thermal support, as well as the exclusive Vacation* function that adds 
protection and energy saving to the solar heating system in low hot water consumption 
periods. 
The controller has functions that avoid overheating and the freezing of the water in the 
solar collector. It's equipped with access protection to the parameters settings. 

The 

Microsol

 

Advanced

 

line  is  characterized  by  its  unique  design  for  use  in 

residential environments, by the easiness of operation with keys for easy access to the 
controller's main resources and by the use of the custom display. The display technology 
employed allows presenting in a complete and simple manner the solar heating system's 
information,  such  as:  output  status,  pump  operation  mode,  and  sensor  position  and 
temperature.

5.2 SUPPORT HEATING TEMPERATURE (SENSOR T3)

Defines the support operation temperature (T3).
To set this parameter, give a short touch on key 

SET

 . Use keys     or     to set value. To 

confirm give a short touch on key 

SET

 and the value will be saved in the controller 

memory. This parameter can be

 

adjusted between the values defined in the advanced 

settings for the parameters:

[,F17]

- Minimum value for the support temperature and 

[,F18]

- Maximum value for support temperature.

Note:

 When the T3 sensor is deactivated in 

[,f24]

, the support is controlled by the T2 

sensor.

5.3 WATER PUMP OPERATION MODE

For  every  touch  on  key          the  water  pump  operation  mode  is  switched.  The  water 
circulation pump between the solar collector and the thermal reservoir can operate in three 
distinct modes. A description follows:
                                             
                                                        

                                                

Obs.:

 In the pump mode settings, the controller takes on the new mode 5 seconds after its 

selection. This also is the time necessary for the parameter to be stored in its memory.
When the MAN mode is selected (MANUAL), the operation mode remains in this state for the 
period defined in function 

[,F09]

 - Maximum pump time turned in manual mode. After, the 

controller takes on the AUT mode (AUTOMATIC). If you wish to return to AUT mode before this 
period, press the      key at any time.
