Commissioning and Setup
The controller offers a commissioning help feature for initial setup, accessible or terminable at any time. Users can opt for free commissioning, requiring manual configuration in a specific sequence. Testing switch outputs and sensor values is recommended before automatic mode.
Measurement Values
The menu displays current temperatures. Errors may indicate sensor issues, adjustable through controller settings.
Statistics
Provides system monitoring with submenus for operating hours, heat output, and error messages. Accurate time settings are crucial.
Display Mode
Allows users to define display settings, including schematic, overview, and alternating modes.
Operating Modes
The controller operates in automatic, manual, or off modes. Manual mode is for specialists only, as it bypasses temperature and parameter considerations.
Settings
Includes temperature setpoints, maximum temperatures, and circulation pump configurations to ensure proper control and prevent damage.
Special Functions
Includes time/date settings, sensor calibration, and commissioning help. Factory settings can be restored, erasing custom configurations. The anti-Legionella function heats the storage tank to prevent bacterial growth, requiring careful monitoring.
Speed Control
Allows variable pump speeds, configured by specialists to avoid damage. Maximum and minimum speeds can be set within specified ranges.
Lime Scale Protection
Prevents lime scale buildup in the heat exchanger by running the circulation pump briefly after water drainage. Default setting is off.
Menu Lock
Secures the controller against unintended changes. Certain menus remain accessible even when locked. Default setting is off.
Language Selection
Allows users to select the language for menu guidance, prompted during initial setup. Language options may vary by device design.
Service Values
Used for remote diagnosis by specialists or manufacturers in case of errors. Important to record values when an error occurs.
Malfunctions and Error Messages
If a malfunction is detected, a red light flashes and a warning symbol appears. Once resolved, it changes to an info symbol. Error messages include sensor defects, time/date issues, and temperature anomalies. Consult specialists for errors.
Replacing the Fuse
If the controller does not function despite power, the internal fuse may be defective. Replace with a T2A 250V fuse and check for external error sources before recommissioning.
Maintenance
Annual maintenance should include checking functions and optimizing settings, verifying date/time, assessing analysis plausibility, checking error memory, and optimizing parameter settings.
Final Declaration
Instructions are created with care, but errors and technical changes are possible. Note the hydraulic variant set, commissioning date, and personnel involved.
