Safety requirements
This device is state of the art and meets all necessary safety regulations. It may only be used
in accordance with the technical data and the safety requirements and regulations listed be
-
low. When using the device, also observe the statutory and safety regulations apposite to
the particular use. Any other use will automatically void all warranty rights.
• The device must only be installed in a
dry
interior room.
• It must be possible to isolate the controller from the mains using an omnipolar isolating
facility (plug/socket or 2-pole isolator).
• Before starting installation or wiring work, the controller must be completely isolated
from the mains and protected against reconnection. Never interchange the safety low
voltage connections (e.g. sensor connections) with the 230 V connections. Destruction
and life threatening voltages at the device and the connected sensors may occur.
• Solar thermal systems can become very hot. Consequently there is a risk of burns. Pro
-
ceed with caution when fitting temperature sensors.
• For safety reasons, the outputs should only be left in manual mode when testing. In this
operating mode, no maximum temperatures or sensor functions are monitored.
• Safe operation is no longer possible if the controller or connected equipment exhibits
visual damage, no longer functions or has been stored for lengthy periods in unsuitable
conditions. If this is the case, disable the controller and equipment and secure against
unintentional use.
Maintenance
If treated and used correctly, the device will not require any maintenance. Use a cloth mois
-
tened with mild alcohol (such as methylated spirits) to clean. Never use corrosive cleaning
agents or solvents such as chloroethylene or trichloroethylene.
No components relevant to long term accuracy are subject to loading if the device is used
correctly. Consequently long term drift is extremely low. The device therefore cannot be cal
-
ibrated. Thus applying any compensation is impossible.
The design characteristics of the device must not be changed during repairs. Spare parts
must correspond to the original spare parts and must be used in accordance with the build
version.
Disposal
• Devices no longer in use or beyond a state of repair must be disposed of
in an environmentally responsible manner by an authorised collection point.
They mus never be treated as ordinary household waste.
• We can undertake the environmentally responsible disposal of devices
sold by the Technischen Alternative company upon request.
• Packaging material must be disposed of in an environmentally responsible
manner.
• Incorrect disposal may result in considerable damage to the environment,
as many of the materials used require professional handling.
All installation and wiring work on the controller must only be carried out
in a zero volt state. The opening, connection and commissioning of the
device may only be carried out by competent personnel. While doing so,
they must observe all local safety requirements.
