Controller functions
1. The differential temperature controller contains many
functions to regulate and monitor the solar primary system.
Including
- controller functions for heating the solar cylinder
- functions for system protection and system monitoring
- additional functions (other accessories may be required to
achieve these functions).

General controller functions
1. The controller collects the temperatures from various
measuring points and determines the right time to charge the
storage tank on account of programmed (additional) functions
and controller parameters.
11.11
Cylinder heating by solar primary system
1. Switching action can be adjusted through dTmax (dTon) and
dTmin (dToff). The solar cylinder is heated by operating the
solar pump on output A1 up to the set maximum storage
temperature (65°C). Pump operation starts when the
collector temperature exceeds the cylinder temperature by
more than dTon and continues while the collector
temperature is above cylinder tempe dToff, as set in
the programming menu. dTon cannot be set lower than dToff
+ 1K.
11.12
Systems with two storage cylinders
1. For systems with more than one storage cylinder (System
Type 2) the cylinder heating can be optimised depending on
the energy supply. Usually the cylinder with lower priority will
have a lower temperature than that with the higher priority.
Re-directing the energy to the lower priority cylinder will
lower the temperature in the collector array.
2. To check the collector temperature the heating of the lower
priority cylinder will be interrupted for a short while at fixed
intervals. If the heating requirement for the higher priority
cylinder is fulfilled then the lower priority cylinder will be
heated.
3. The higher priority cylinder can be selected in the
“Basic Adjustment” menu point no. 10.
