 For controlling the space heating, the respective my-PV temperature sensor is to be installed 

in a suitable place to provide a reliable reading! 

 

 

TIP: When specifying room temperatures, to avoid using power from the public grid 

the minimum values for day and night should be set correspondingly low. See 
explanation "SH 1 temperatures".

Single-Boost 
Starts a once-only hot water 

boost backup  
(button only appears if boost 
backup is activated) 

 
On the display a sun or moon symbol shows which time period is currently controlling the room 
temperature. Different minimum temperatures can be specified for day and night.  

Hot water 1 temperatures 

The maximum temperature permitted to be reached at my-PV temperature sensor 1 can be adjusted 
(factory setting 60 °C). This has nothing to do with a bimetal thermostat which may be installed! 

 If the cut out temperature of an immersion heating element with a bimetal thermostat is set 

too low, the AC•THOR may possibly be unable to reach the desired temperature!

 

If the optional automatic temperature boost backup is shown "On" in the window on the right 
(factory setting "Off"), a minimum temperature can then be set (factory setting 50 °C). 
Automatic temperature boost backup "On": 

The AC•THOR can ensure a minimum temperature at the my

-PV temperature sensor through the 

immersion heating element connected. This is supplied with maximum power. 

Hot water 1 min switching times 

This setting can be selected when the temperature boost backup is "On" under Hot water 1 
temperatures". 
There are two time windows available to maintain the minimum temperature on the my-PV 

temperature sensor. Start and finish can each be defined at full hours. Factory settings suggest 
switching times of 5 to 11 pm and 5 to 7 am. 
 

 

TIP: Restrict the times when the minimum temperature has to be maintained to 
mornings and evenings, to increase your own PV consumption through the day!
