Important information
The info symbol indicates important information where there is
no risk to people or property.
H Determined use
▶ Only use the product to control solar heating systems in
single-family homes or apartment buildings.
Any other use is considered inappropriate. We take no
responsibility for damage caused through incorrect use.
H Electrical work
Electrical work must only be carried out by a qualified
electrician.
▶ Before starting electrical work:
– Isolate the mains electrical supply and secure against
reconnection.
– Using suitable means, test that the mains voltage is
disconnected.
▶ Never connect the product to mains voltage.
▶ Also observe the connection diagrams of other system
components.
2 Product information
The CR 50 user interface is a control unit without an outdoor
temperature sensor.
Information on energy efficiency (ErP Directive) can be found in
the operating instructions.
2.1 Product description
The user interface is used to control a heating circuit without
mixer and a DHW tank charging circuit for water heating directly
at the heat source.
The user interface is not suitable for connecting the DHW
cylinder behind a low loss header.
The user interface is installed in a suitable living space.
1.2 General safety instructions
H Notice for the target group
These installation instructions are intended for plumbers,
heating engineers and electricians. All instructions must be
observed. Failure to comply with instructions may result in
material damage and personal injury, including possible loss of
life.
▶ Read the installation instructions (heat source, heating
controller, etc.) before installation.
▶ Observe the safety instructions and warnings.

3.3 Electrical connection
Power is supplied to the user interface via the BUS cable. The
wires are insensitive to polarity.
If the maximum total length of the BUS interfaces between all
BUS nodes is exceeded or the BUS system has a ring structure,
commissioning of the system is not possible.
Maximum total length of BUS interfaces:
2
• 50 m at 0.50 mm
• 300 m at 1.50 mm
▶ To avoid inductive interference: Make sure all low-voltage
cables are routed separately from mains voltage cables
(min. clearance 100 mm).
