Safety instructions
All electrical work shall be carried out
exclusively by licensed electricians.
When installing or repairing electrical
equipment, always be sure that it is
completely isolated from the supply. Do
not work on live parts.
Install the controller in a dry room and
at a location where it is not exposed to
temperatures > 50°C.
Temperatures can reach as high as
90°C in the connected storage tanks.
As a result, boiling protection must be
provided for domestic hot water storage
tanks (Heizungsanlagenverordnung
Section 8, Clause 2 (heating systems
directive).
The supplied wall-mount enclosure
shall only be used for a stationary installation.

Wall-mount enclosure installation
Tools and installation
The following tools are required to
install the controller:
• drill
• 6 mm drill bit
• Screwdriver
Open up the enclosure. You can
use the bottom part as a template
to locate the mounting holes. Drill 6
mm holes at the marked locations.
Fasten the bottom part of the enclosure to the wall using the anchors
and screws provided. Connect the
sensor, supply and pump wiring to
the terminals as shown in the diagram below.
Mount the controller on the connector provided. You can now refasten
the bottom cover of the enclosure.
Ensure that the electrical wiring is
connected properly and use the
strain relief provision when fastening the wires.
Sensor location
The collector sensors shall be mounted
in the supply connection (hot side) of
the collector.
Some solar system components can
become very hot (risk of burn injuries).
The return-line sensors can be mounted
in the lower part of the storage tank or the
return line from the solar heating system.
Thermowells are installed about halfway
up the storage tank to mount the upper
storage tank sensors.

Domestic water backup heating using a boiler
When the LOGON SOL plus
controller is used to control a boiler
that provides supplemental heat for
the domestic water, it must be interconnected with the boiler controller
(sensor-side terminals 14 and 15,
see connection diagram). The following LOGON SOL plus features
make it capable of interacting flexibly with the boiler controller. A
jumper located on the back of the
controller can be used to choose
between a changeover switch with
resistors and a zero-resistance
changeover switch.
Place the jumper in position Y to
use LOGON SOL plus in conjunction with LOGON controllers
(SYSTRON, UNON, VARION) to
control domestic water backup
heating (see diagram).
The connected resistors are used
to simulate temperatures.
Off = 1320 ohms = 70°C
On = 8200 ohms = 25°C
Place the jumper in position X to
use LOGON SOL plus in conjunction with non-LOGON controllers
(THISION, TRIGON, STRATON or
third-party boilers) to control domestic water backup heating. This selects a changeover switch with zero
resistance.
The jumper is in position X when
the controller leaves the factory.
After installing the controller, choose the
correct system configuration (number of
collectors/storage tanks) from the system circuit diagrams provided.
The manual shows the wiring for the
required sensors and relays for the
selected circuit schematic.
The respective "Sensor assignment"
tables identify which additional sensor
inputs can be connected.
The respective "Relay assignment"
tables identify which relays are available for additional functions.
The connections and settings for the
most important auxiliary functions are
summarized in the manual. If it becomes necessary to choose settings for
the system that deviate from the factory
settings, the changed values should be
noted in this manual. This will be useful
for later servicing of
the installation.

In addition, the Info sequence shows
the total heat gain (ERT), the daily heat
gain (ERTd) and the speed of pumps
P1.. P3 (ED1..ED3).
It is preferable to use a volume flow
sensor for the total or daily heat gain
calculation. Parameter VSA = 1 or 2
(E3-4.3) confirms that a volume flow
sensor is being used. The heat gain
display is enabled when confirmation is
received that a volume flow sensor is
present.
If no volume flow sensor is present,
heat gain values can only be displayed if the minimum lower set point
for the heat transfer pump is set to
100 percent. In this situation the heat
gains are calculated on the basis of the
default liquid flow rate.
ERT total heat gain in kWh; range: 0 .. 199999 kWh
Total heat gain can be reset to zero by pressing and holding the [-] key for five seconds while a value is being displayed.
ERTd daily heat gain in kWh; range: 0 .. 999 kWh
The day's heat gain can be reset to zero by pressing and holding the [-] key for five seconds while a value is being displayed.
ED1 speed of pump P1 in %, range 30 .. 100 %
ED2 speed of pump P2 in %, range 30 .. 100 %
