Fig. 5. Schematic and electric diagram of the installation no. 1
Controller is equipped with an LCD screen and 7 buttons. After correct electric connection, switch on the controller by pressing the button .
In normal operation of the controller the screen displays:
Current program number and diagram of the installation,
Current date and time,
Current temperatures in respective measurement locations (a lack of the sensor is indicated by displaying “- - -“ message, and damage of the sensor
by displaying “Err” message)
During pump operation (symbol of the pump is flashing) alternating message are displayed: temporary power of solar collectors, flow of the heat fluid,
power absorption by the pump of the solar collectors
Pressing the button swill cause entry into the general controller menu.
ź Using directional buttons and select the desired option and confirm by pressing the button .

Description Range
Temperature sensor error
The controller checks whether temperature sensors have been connected. If a temperature sensor gets damaged, a cable gets broken, a sensor gets disconnected, the
controller will raise sensor alarm. During an alarm all the outputs are disconnected. Moreover, when the controller displays the main screen, the alarm might be signaled
by sound. In the alarm mode it is possible to browse the menu, configure parameters or manually control external devices. Information on which sensor raises alarm is
available on the main screen. Next to the sensor marking, "Err” will be displayed instead of temperature. If the controller raises sensor alarm it should be checked
whether the system has been assembled correctly, the sensor have been correctly connected and whether the temperature system is not damaged.
Lack of required flow
The controller checks heat carrier flow (option of cooperation with an electronic FS-300A flow meter switched on - the flow / rotameter option)
Measurement: Electr. FS-300A. Lack of flow is controlled in two steps.
ź1st step – (when there is no flow for 20 seconds) the controller generates a sound and displays the following message: LACK OF REQUIRED FLOW. CHECK AND
ADJUST. Once you accept the message with the key, the message will disappear and the sound will no longer be emitted.
ź 2nd step – (when there is no flow for 5 minutes) the controller switches solar collector pump off and displays the following message: NO FLOW, PUMP DAMAGE, AIR-
LOCKED INSTALLATION, BLOCKED FLOW. Once the user accepts this message with the key, the solar collector pump will be switched on again. If there still is no
flow, the alarm will go on in cycles.
Lack of required pressure
The controller is equipped with a pressure control of the heat carrier. The pressure drop is indicated by a sound and the following message: LACK OF REQUIRED
PRESSURE. By removing the cause of the pressure lack and pressing the key the alarm will be switched off.
ATTENTION!!! All options are described in details in the separate manual of the controller.
