Water Pump: 

The  pump  key  switches  the  pump  relay  on  or  off.  The  state  of  the  relay  is  indicated  by  the 
adjacent LED. Operation of the pump is only possible, if the main switch had been switched-on. 
It  will  be  switched-off  automatically,  as  soon  as  the  main  switch  had  been  switched-off.  The 

pump cannot be switched-on, if the main switch had been switched-off.  
 

Solar Computer: 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Solar Computer indicates the current operating state, the solar current, as well as the 
solar power of the connected VOTRONIC Solar Controller. In addition, it is equipped with a 
solar power meter.  
Use the arrow keys     on the right side of the display to change to the next or previous 
page. 

Current: 

The instantaneous current rate in Amperes (A) is displayed. 

 
Capacity:

 The instantaneous capacity in Watts (W) of the solar system is displayed. 

 
Solar  Power  Meter:

  The  power  being  generated  by  the  solar  system  is  measured 

continuously and will be displayed as ampere-hours (Ah), as well as watt-hours (Wh). If the 
value 9999 Wh is exceeded, the display changes automatically to kWh. The meter readings 
can  be  separately  reset  to  zero  at  any  time.  Reset  can  be  effected,  if  the  corresponding 
meter value is displayed and by pressing the key Solar    for more than 3 seconds until (Set 
----) is displayed. 
 

Operating State Solar Controller:

 

Depending on the solar controller, the operating state of the solar controller is indicated by 
the sun symbol.  

-

 

No sun: Solar power is not at disposal; the solar controller is in stand-by mode. 

-

 

Full sun: Solar power is at disposal, maximum possible charge 

-

 

Flashing sun: The controller limits the current because of a full or almost full battery to 
avoid battery overcharging. For determination of the possible solar power, the battery 
must  be  discharged  by  a  consumer  (such  as  lighting)  until  the  solar  controller  stops 
limiting the current and the sun symbol stops flashing. 

 
Thermometer/Clock: 

 

 

 

 

 

The thermometers indicate the inside and outside temperature.  
Press the key "Thermometer/Clock" to change between inside and outside temperature or 
clock.  
 
The time is displayed in 24 hours format.  
Setting of the time is effected by pressing the key "Thermometer/Clock"  for 3 seconds, 
until "Set" will be displayed at the upper edge of the display, and the hours of the time will 
be  flashing.  Use  the  arrow  keys   

 

  to  set  the  hours.  Shortly  press  the  key 

"Thermometer/Clock"    to set the minutes. The minutes will now be flashing and can be 
changed using the arrow keys      .  
 

Tank Displays: 

 

 

 

The  tank  displays  indicate  the  levels  (level  height)  of  the  fresh  water  and  sewage  water 
tank as percentage.  
Use the key "Tank" to switch between the display for fresh water tank and sewage water 
tank. If the sensors had not been connected or are wrongly connected, the corresponding 
tank display cannot be selected.  
Current  will  only  be  supplied  to  the  tank  sensors,  if  the  levels  will  be  interrogated  by  a 
keystroke.  If  the  illumination  of  the  display  is  switched-off  manually,  or  if  it  switches-off 
itself  after  a  certain  time,  the  display  changes  automatically  to  the  actual  time.  Thus,  an 
unintended operation of the sensors and current consumption is avoided.
