PROTECTIVE FUNCTIONS

The controller is equipped with the following protective functions.

1.  COLLECTOR PROTECTION

If the storage tank has reached the set maximum temperature and the 

collector temperature exceeds the set collector protection temperature 

(line 1), the solar circuit pump is switched on. The solar circuit pump is 

switched off once the collector temperature is 10 K below the maximum 

value. 
In this case, the storage tank is charged to 95° C, regardless of the set 

maximum temperature.

2.  RECOOLING (HOLIDAY FUNCTION)

The collector protection function is only effective if the storage tank 

temperature is below the temperature limit (95°). During a holiday period, 

for example, the storage tank must therefore be discharged at night to the 

set recooling temperature.

WARNING:

 do not activate this function at the same time as backup 

heating!

3.  SYSTEM PROTECTION

To protect system components, the solar circuit pump is switched off if the 

collector temperature exceeds the collector protection temperature (see 

Recooling (Holiday function)) by 10 K. If the temperature drops below the 

collector protection temperature, the solar circuit pump is switched on. 

This function is always activated.

4.  ANTI-FREEZE PROTECTION

This function must be activated if the water or glycol mixture can freeze. 

If the temperature at the anti-freeze sensor (line 12) drops below the set 

value, the solar circuit pump is activated and heats the solar circuit using 

the heat exchanger in the storage tank.

ADDITIONAL FUNCTION

1.  ENERGY YIELD MEASUREMENT

The energy yield of the solar power system is calculated and displayed 

using the temperature difference between the collector and collector 

return temperature, plus the measured flow rate.

Accessories required:

Energy yield set

 (consists of flow transmitter and tube sensor) or Grun

-

dfos sensor.

Please note: The tube sensor (T4) is only necessary when measuring 

energy yield with a flow transmitter (DFG).

With a Grundfos sensor (VFS), the sensor is already integrated and se-

lection is automatic.

SYSTEM MONITORING

The occurrence of errors is generally indicated by a flashing 

!

 symbol.

1.  SENSOR MONITORING

The connected sensors and sensor cables are monitored for interruptions 

and short-circuits. Errors are indicated by the 

!

 symbol. The source of 

the error can be found by scrolling up or down in the Info menu.

2.  FLOW MONITORING

The controllers are programmed so as to display a message if the flow 

is interrupted, e.g. via pump fault or vapour in the system. However, this 

notification does not switch off the pump.
