3.1.16 Temperature difference control

The temperature difference control manages an output

according to adjustable temperature differential criteria.

The function is independent from all the other functions.

TDiff1 is the temperature of the heating source and TDiff2

of the heating target. Output A3 will be switched on

regarding the conditions below, when a timeframe is active.

3.1.17 Tube collector

The function “tube collector” can be switched off/on in

the “Basic setting” menu – point 4.The timeframe 4 in the

“Program” menu makes it possible to activate this function

only for a certain period of time (sunshine period).When

activated, the solar pump will be switched on every 30

minutes for a period of 30 seconds.This is necessary, to

measure a temperature change in the collector if there

was no circulating for a long period of time.

3.2.1 Sensor monitoring

The sensors necessary for control functions and their

connecting cables are monitored regarding break and

short circuit. If a faulty sensor is recognised by the

software, the symbol

is shown. By scrolling up and

down you can find an error source.

The use of temperature sensors of the wrong type
can also lead to an error message
