3 - Operating modes
In menu
“3. Operating modes”
the controller can

placed in a manual operating mode.
The menu is closed by pressing

.
3.1 - Automatic
menu 3.1
Automatic mode is the normal operating mode of the controller.
Only automatic mode provides proper controller function taking into account the current temperatures and the
parameters that have been set!
3.2 - Manual
menu 3.2
The relay and thus the connected pump, valve or heating rod are switched on and off manually by pressing
a key, with no regard to the current temperatures and the parameters which have been set. The measured
temperatures are also shown.
The manual mode is intended to be used by a technician when commissioning or checking the system. Activa-
ting manual mode in current operation can lead to system damage or overheating of water in the storage tank!
3.3 - Off
menu 3.3
When the operating mode
“Off”
is activated, all controller functions are switched off. This can lead, for exam-
ple, to overheating of the solar collector or other system components. The measured temperatures are displa-
yed even when the controller is Off.
Never select other mode than automatic without a reason!
Long-term operation in manual mode
may lead to collector or storage tank overheating and limiting the lifetime of solar
fl
uid and other solar thermal
components!
