This control unit must be disconnected from the mains before any installation 
and wiring work is carried out. 
This  device  may  only  be  opened,  connected  and  commissioned  by  trained 
personnel.  In  so  doing,  the  relevant  safety  regulations,  especially  VDE  0100 
must be adhered to.

 

 

 

   

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

      

 

 

Prior  to  any  installation  or  wiring 
work  on  the  electric  motors,  always 
fully  disconnect  the  device  from  the 
operating voltage and ensure that the 
mains  supply  cannot  be  reactivated. 

Never  mix  up  the  connections  for  the 
protective  safety  low  voltage  area 
(sensor,  flow  meter)  with  the  230  V 
connections. 

This 

could 

result 

in 

damage  and  hazardous  voltages  to  the 
device itself and to the attached sensors 
and devices. 

  Solar thermal systems can become very 

hot. There is a risk of being burnt. Take 
care  when  installing  the  temperature 
sensor. 

  Install  the  BDC  102  in  such  a  way  that 

no  excessive  operating  temperatures 
(>50°C)  result,  e.g.  as  a  result  of  heat 
sources. 

  BDC  102  is  not  protected  against 

splashing  and  dripping.  You  should 
therefore install it in a dry location. 

  If  there  are  signs  of  damage  to  the 

control  unit,  cables  or  attached  pumps 
and  valves,  the  systems  must  not  be 
operated. 

  Check  whether  the  materials  used  for 

the  piping,  thermal  insulation,  pumps 
and 

valves 

are 

suitable  for  the 

temperatures  that  will  occur  in  the 
system. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

     

 

 
 

If you have any questions concerning your solar thermal system or your control unit, please 

contact your installer or supplier for advice.
