Sol Plus solar controller
The Sol Plus has been especially developed for the speed control of high-efciency
pumps in standard solar and heating systems. It is equipped with 2 PWM outputs.
Solar packages for DHW heating and heating backup with DeDietrich boilers:
The SOLAR Sol Plus with “SOLARFIRST” function (see page 47) and ModBus
controls a solar system with 1 collector eld and 1 store with integrated heat exchanger. The Sol Plus is designed for DHW heating and heating backup.
The Sol Plus controllers are equipped with the “SOLARFIRST” function via
ModBus and can be connected to DeDietrich boiler controllers by means of ModBus cables.
As soon as the solar control switches on, the system will be set to solar priority via
the connection to the boiler.
The set hot water temperature will be reduced (adjustable 0-30 K). This way, the
water will be heated by the solar system rst. If the solar system switches off, solar priority will be stopped and the controller switches the boiler to its standard
adjustments.
Due to this function, the solar system can supply 20 % more heat for the store.
The “STEAMBACK” safety concept:
The Sol Plus controller is part of the “STEAMBACK” safety concept. If the col-
lector temperature reaches 130 °C, all functions will be deactivated. The uid in
the collector continues heating and will turn into vapour at 140 °C. It will then be
pressed into the expansion vessel through extension.
The collector will not contain any solar uid then. There will be no steam hammer - the solar uid will not be harmed. If the suns goes down and if the collector
temperature falls below 140 °C, the solar uid will condense and the pressure in
the expansion vessel will ll the collector again. Only if the collector temperature
falls below 100 °C and that of the store below 60 °C, will the controller activate
the solar system.
Whether holiday, power failure or fault - the DeDietrich “STEAMBACK” safety
function protects your solar system and makes it maintenance-free and durable.
The Sol Plus solar controller is used for controlling a solar system with 1 store with
integrated heat exchanger and one 3-port valve for return preheating. It can also
control a solar system with 1 store with 2 integrated heat exchangers via a 3-port
valve. The Sol Plus is designed for DHW heating and heating backup in solar thermal
systems connected in series.
It can be directly mounted onto the pump station. For using several functions such
as store base/top or combined store with return preheating, the controller can also
control a 3-port valve in addition to the solar circuit pump. The parameter Arr can
be used for selecting the system conguration.

DT3F
Switch-off temperature difference
Adjustment range: 0.5 … 19.5 K [1.0 … 39.0°Ra]
Factory setting: 4.0 K [8.0 °Ra]
S3 and S4 are used as the reference sensors for this function.
In system 2 the controller is equipped with an additional differential control for heat
exchange between two stores. The basic differential function is adjusted using the
switch-on (DT3O) and switch-off (DT3F) temperature differences.
When the temperature difference exceeds the adjusted switch-on temperature
difference, relay 2 switches on. When the temperature difference falls below the
adjusted switch-off temperature difference, relay 2 switches off.
Note
The switch-on temperature difference must be at least 0.5 K [1 °Ra] higher than the switch-off temperature difference.
RIS3
Rise
Adjustment range: 1 … 20 K [2 … 40 °Ra]
Factory setting: 2 K [4 °Ra]
If the switch-on difference is reached, the pump switches on at full speed for 10 s.
Then, the speed is reduced to the minimum pump speed value (n2MN).
If the temperature difference reaches the adjusted set value (DT3S), the pump
speed increases by one step (10 %). Each time the difference increases by the adjustable rise value RIS3, the pump speed increases by 10 % until the maximum pump
speed of 100% is reached.
Note
The set temperature difference must be at least 0.5 K [1 °Ra] higher than
the switch-on temperature difference.

The thermostat function works independently from the solar operation and can be
used for using surplus energy or for backup heating.
• AH O < AH F
thermostat function for backup heating
• AH O > AH F
thermostat function for using surplus energy
The symbol ⓶ will be shown on the display, if the second relay output is activated.
S3 is used as the reference sensor for the thermostat function.
AH O
Thermostat switch-on temperature
Adjustment range: 0.0 … 95.0 °C [30.0 … 200.0 °F]
Factory setting: 40.0 °C [110.0°F]
In order to block the thermostat function for a certain period, there are 3 time
frames t1 … t3.
If the thermostat function is supposed to run from 06:00 a.m. to 09:00 a.m. only,
adjust t1 O to 06:00 a.m. and t1 F to 09:00 a.m.
If the switch-on and switch-off times of a time frame are set to an identical value,
the time frame will be inactive. If all time frames are set to 00:00, the thermostat
function is solely temperature dependent (factory setting).

This function helps to contain the spread of Legionella in DHW stores by systematically activating the backup heating.
For thermal disinfection, the temperature at the reference sensor will be monitored. Protection is ensured when, during the monitoring period, the disinfection
temperature is continuously exceeded for the entire disinfection period.
The monitoring period starts as soon as the temperature at the reference sensor
falls below the disinfection temperature. When the monitoring period ends, the
allocated reference relay activates the backup heating. The disinfection period starts,
if the temperature at the allocated sensor exceeds the disinfection temperature.
Thermal disinfection can only be completed when the disinfection temperature
is exceeded for the duration of the disinfection period without any interruption.
If the starting delay option is activated, a starting time for the thermal disinfection
with starting delay can be adjusted. The activation of the backup heating is then
delayed until that starting time after the monitoring period has ended.
If the monitoring period ends, for example, at 12:00 o'clock, and the starting time
has been set to 18:00, the reference relay will be energised with a delay of 6 hours
at 18:00 instead of 12:00 o'clock.
Note
If the thermal disinfection option is activated, the display channels TDIS,

The controller calculates the temperature difference between collector sensor S1
and store sensors S2 and S3. If the difference is larger than or identical to the corresponding adjusted switch-on temperature differences (DT1O / DT2O), the solar
pump will be activated by relay 1, and the corresponding store zone will be loaded
until the switch-off temperature difference (DT1F / DT2F) or the maximum store
temperature (S1MX / S2MX) is reached. The priority logic causes priority loading
of the upper store zone, if possible. In that case, the 3-port valve will be operated
by relay 2.
If heat quantity measurement (OHQM) is activated, S4 is used as the return sensor.

InstallationIndications, functions and optionsMessagesCommissioningOperation and function
DT3O
Switch-on temperature difference
Adjustment range: 1.0 … 20.0 K [2.0 … 40.0°Ra]
Factory setting: 6.0 K [12.0 °Ra]
S4 and S3 are used as the reference sensors for this function.
In system 8 the controller is equipped with an additional differential control for
heat exchange from a solid fuel boiler (e. g. pellet stove). The basic differential function is adjusted using the switch-on (DT3O) and switch-off (DT3F) temperature
differences.
When the temperature difference exceeds the adjusted switch-on temperature
difference, relay 2 switches on. When the temperature difference falls below the
adjusted switch-off temperature difference, relay 2 switches off.
DT3F
Switch-off temperature difference
Adjustment range: 0.5 … 19.5 K [1.0 … 39.0°Ra]
Factory setting: 4.0 K [8.0 °Ra]
Note
The switch-on temperature difference must be at least 0.5 K [1 °Ra] higher than the switch-off temperature difference.
Speed control
DT3S
Set temperature difference
Adjustment range: 1.5 … 30.0 K [3.0 … 60.0 °Ra]
Factory setting: 10.0 K [20.0 °Ra]
Note
For pump speed control of the heat exchange pump, the operating mode
of relay 2 must be set to Auto in the adjustment channel MAN2.
RIS3
Rise
Adjustment range: 1 … 20 K [2 … 40 °Ra]
Factory setting: 2 K [4 °Ra]
Note
The set temperature difference must be at least 0.5 K [1 °Ra] higher than
the switch-on temperature difference.
If the switch-on difference is reached, the pump switches on at full speed for 10 s.
Then, the speed is reduced to the minimum pump speed value (n2MN).
If the temperature difference reaches the adjusted set value (DT3S), the pump
speed increases by one step (10 %). Each time the difference increases by the adjustable rise value RIS3, the pump speed increases by 10 % until the maximum pump
speed of 100% is reached.

S4 is used as the reference sensor for the minimum temperature limitation.
The minimum temperature limitation function provides a minimum temperature setting for the solid fuel boiler in system 8. If the temperature at sensor 4 falls below
MN3O, relay 2 is switched off until the temperature at sensor 4 exceeds MN3F.
Both switch-on and switch-off temperature differences DT3O and DT3F are valid

switch-on temperature difference (DT O), the solar pump will be activated by relay
1, and the store will be loaded until the switch-off temperature difference (DT F) or
the maximum store temperature (S MX) is reached.
PWM 1/2
Heating-circuit return preheating will be activated by relay 2, if the temperature difference between sensors S3 and S4 is larger or identical to the adjusted switch-on
temperature difference (DT3O). For this purpose, relay 2 controls the 3-port valve.
S3 can optionally be used as the reference sensor for the store emergency shutdown option (OSEM).

If the collector maximum temperature (CMX) is reached, the solar pump will be
activated by R1 and the 3-port valve by R2 in order to divert excess heat to a heat
sink. For safety reasons, excess heat dump will only take place as long as the store
temperature is below the non-adjustable shutdown temperature of 95 °C [200 °F].
Sensors S3 and S4 can optionally be connected. S3 can optionally be used as the

Switch-on temperature difference
Adjustment range: 1.0 … 20.0 K [2.0 … 40.0 °Ra]
Factory setting: 6.0 K [12.0 °Ra]
The controller works as a standard differential controller. If the temperature reaches or exceeds the switch-on temperature difference, the pump switches on.
When the temperature difference reaches or falls below the adjusted switch-off
temperature difference, the respective relay switches off.
Note
The switch-on temperature difference must be at least 0.5 K [1 °Ra] higher
than the switch-off temperature difference.

Note
If the drainback option ODB is activated, the values of the parameters
DT O, DT F and DT S will be adapted to values suiting drainback systems:
DT O = 10 K [20 °Ra]
DT F = 4 K [8 °Ra]
DT S = 15 K [30 °Ra]
Adjustments that have been previously made in these channels will be

Adjustment range:
1 … 20 K [2 … 40 °Ra]
Factory setting: 2 K [4 °Ra]
Note
For pump speed control, the operating mode of the corresponding relay
must be set to Auto (adjustment channel MAN1 / MAN2).
If the temperature difference reaches or exceeds the switch-on temperature difference, the pump switches on at 100 % speed for 10 s. Then, the speed is reduced to
the minimum pump speed value.
If the temperature difference reaches the adjusted set value, the pump speed increases by one step (10 %). The response of the controller can be adapted via the
parameter Rise. Each time the difference increases by the adjustable rise value, the
pump speed increases by 10 % until the maximum pump speed of 100% is reached.
If the temperature difference decreases by the adjustable rise value, pump speed
will be decreased by one step.
Note
The set temperature difference must be at least 0.5 K [1 °Ra] higher than
the switch-on temperature difference.

CMX / CMX1 / CMX2
Collector maximum temperature
Adjustment range: 70 … 160 °C [150 … 320 °F]
Factory setting: 110 °C [230 °F]
The collector cooling function keeps the collector temperature within the operating range by heating the store. If the store temperature reaches 95°C [200 °F] the
function will switch off for safety reasons.
If the store temperature exceeds the adjusted maximum store temperature, the
solar system is switched off. If the collector temperature increases to the adjusted
maximum collector temperature, the solar pump is activated until the collector
temperature falls below the maximum collector temperature. The store temperature may then exceed the maximum store temperature, but only up to 95 °C [200
°F] (emergency shutdown of the store).
If the collector cooling function is active, ⓵ and ☼ are displayed (ashing).
Note
This function will only be available if the system cooling function (OSYC)
is deactivated.
Note
In system 10, the parameter CMX is available without the OCC function.
In system 10, CMX is used for setting the activation temperature for the
heat dump function. No other switch-on condition is needed in that case.

DTCO
Switch-on temperature difference
Adjustment range:
1.0 … 30.0 K [2.0 … 60.0 °Ra]
Factory setting: 20.0 K [40.0 °Ra]
The system cooling function aims to keep the solar system operational for a longer
time. The function overrides the maximum store temperature to provide thermal
relief of the collector eld and the heat transfer uid on hot days. If the store temperature is higher than the adjusted maximum store temperature and the switchon temperature difference DTCO is reached, the solar pump remains switched
on or will be switched on. Solar loading is continued until either the temperature
difference falls below the adjusted value DTCF or the collector limit temperature
is reached. If the system cooling function is active, ⓵ and ☼ are displayed (ashing).
DTCF
Switch-off temperature difference
Adjustment range: 0.5 … 29.5 K [1.0 … 59.0 °Ra]
Factory setting: 15.0 K [30.0 °Ra]
Note
This function will only be available, if the collector cooling function
(OCC) is deactivated.

THOL
Holiday cooling temperature
Adjustment range: 20 … 80 °C [70 … 175 °F]
Factory setting: 40 °C [110 °F]
When the store cooling function is activated, the controller aims to cool down the
store during the night in order to prepare it for solar loading on the following day.
If the adjusted maximum store temperature (S MX / S1MX) is exceeded and the
collector temperature falls below the store temperature, the system will be reactivated in order to cool down the store. Cooling will continue until the store temperature has fallen below the adjusted maximum store temperature (S MX / S1MX)
again. A hysteresis of 2 K [4 °Ra] is set for the store cooling function.
Reference threshold temperature differences for the store cooling function are
DT O and DT F.
If no DHW consumption is expected for a longer period of time, the additional
holiday cooling option OHOL can be activated in order to extend the store cooling function. The adjustable temperature THOL then replaces the maximum store
temperature (S MX / S1MX) as the switch-off temperature for the store cooling
function.
When the holiday cooling function is activated, ☼ and ⚠ (ashing) are shown on
the display.
If the holiday cooling function is active, ⓵, ☼ and ⚠ are displayed (ashing).

Minimum collector temperature
Adjustment range:
10.0 … 90.0 °C [50.0 … 190.0 °F]
Factory setting: 10.0 °C [50.0 °F]
If the collector minimum limitation option is activated, the pump (R1 / R2) will only
be switched on, if the adjustable collector minimum temperature is exceeded. The
minimum temperature prevents the pump from being switched on too often at low
collector temperatures. A hysteresis of 5 K [10 °Ra] is set for this function. If the
collector minimum limitation is active, ❄ is displayed (ashing).
Note
If OSTC or OCF is active, the collector minimum limitation will be overridden. In that case, the collector temperature may fall below CMN.
Antifreeze function

Antifreeze temperature
Adjustment range:
-40.0 … +10.0 °C [-40.0 … +50.0 °F]
Factory setting: +4.0 °C [+40.0 °F]
The antifreeze function activates the loading circuit between the collector and the
store when the temperature falls below the adjusted antifreeze temperature. This
will protect the uid against freezing or coagulating. If the adjusted antifreeze temperature is exceeded by 1 K [2 °Ra], the loading circuit will be deactivated.
If the antifreeze function is activated, ❄ is displayed. If the antifreeze function is
active, ⓵ and ❄ are displayed (ashing).
Note
Since this function uses the limited heat quantity of the store, the antifreeze function should only be used in regions with few days of temperatures around the freezing point.
The antifreeze function will be suppressed if the store temperature falls
below +5 °C [+40 °F] in order to protect the store from frost damage.
Priority logic
Note
Priority logic can be used in 2-store system only (Arr = 4, 5, 6).
PRIO
Priority
Adjustment range: SE 1, SE 2, Su 1, Su 2, 0, 1, 2
Factory setting: Arr 4: 2, Arr 5, 6: 1
If a 2-store system has been selected, the priority logic determines how the heat is
divided between the stores. Different types of priority logic are adjustable:
• spreaded loading (SE 1 and SE 2)
• successive loading (Su 1 and Su 2)
• parallel loading (0)
• store sequence control (1 and 2)
If priority PRIO SE 1 or SE 2 (only available in Arr 6) is adjusted, the subordinate
store will be loaded in parallel to the priority store if the temperature difference
between the collector and the priority store (store 1 for SE 1, store 2 for SE 2)
exceeds the adjusted value DTSE and the subordinate store has not reached its
maximum temperature.
Parallel loading will stop as soon as the temperature difference between the collector and the priority store falls by 2 K [4 °Ra] below DTSE or the subordinate store
reaches its maximum temperature.
If priority PRIO Su 1 or Su 2 is adjusted, the stores are loaded successively. The
subordinate store will only be loaded if the priority store (store 1 for Su 1, store
2 for Su 2) has reached its adjusted maximum temperature (S1MX or S2MX).
60
Page 61
If priority PRIO 0 is adjusted and the switch-on conditions for both stores are
fullled, the stores are loaded in parallel (Arr 6) or in store sequence control (Arr
4, 5) respectively, beginning with the store with the lowest temperature. In store
sequence control, solar loading will switch from one store to the other in steps of
5 K [10 °Ra] temperature difference between the stores.
If PRIO 1 / 2 is adjusted, store sequence control will be activated (see below) with
the corresponding store as the priority store.
Note
If the priority is set to PRIO Su 1 or Su 2, solar loading of the subordinate store will be stopped at once if the temperature in the priority store
(store 1 for Su 1, store 2 for Su 2) falls below the adjusted maximum temperature. If, in that case, the temperature difference between the priority
store and the collector is not sufciently high, solar loading will be stopped
completely.

tLB
Loading break store sequence control
Adjustment range: 1 … 30 min
Factory setting: 2 min
tRUN
Circulation runtime store sequence control
Adjustment range: 1 … 30 min
Factory setting: 15 min
Store sequence control will be activated when PRIO is set to SE 1, SE 2, 1 or 2.
If the priority store cannot be loaded, the subordinate store will be checked. If useful heat can be added to the subordinate store, it will be loaded for the circulation
time (tRUN – factory setting 15 min). After this, the loading process stops and the
controller monitors the increase in collector temperature during the loading break
time tLB. If it increases by 2 K [4° Ra], the break time timer starts again to allow
the collector to gain more heat. If the collector temperature does not increase suf-
ciently, the subordinate store will be loaded again for the tRUN runtime as before.
As soon as the switch-on condition of the priority store is fullled, it will be loaded.
If the switch-on condition of the priority store is not fullled, loading of the subor-
dinate store will be continued. If the priority store reaches its maximum temperature, store sequence control will not be carried out.
If store sequence control is active and the system switches to load the priority
store, the parameter tLB also acts as a stabilisation time, during which the switchoff condition DT F is ignored while the system operation is stabilising.

This function is used for improving the switch-on behaviour in systems with
non-ideal sensor positions (e. g. with some tube collectors). This function operates
within an adjusted time frame. It activates the collector circuit pump for an adjustable runtime between adjustable standstill intervals in order to compensate for the
delayed temperature measurement.
If the runtime is set to more than 10 s, the pump will be run at 100 % for the rst
10 s of the runtime. For the remaining runtime, the pump will be run at the adjusted
minimum speed. If the collector sensor is defective or the collector is blocked, this
function is suppressed or switched off.

Drainback option
Note
A drainback system requires additional components such as a holding
tank. The drainback option should only be activated if all components
required are properly installed.
Note
The drainback option is only available in system with one store and one
collector (Arr 1, 2, 3, 8 and 9).
In a drainback system the heat transfer uid will ow into a holding tank if solar
loading does not take place. The drainback option initiates the lling process if solar
loading is about to start. If the drainback option is activated, the following adjustment can be made.
ODB
Drainback option
Adjustment range: OFF / ON
Factory setting: OFF
Note
If the drainback option is activated, the cooling functions and the antifreeze
function will not be available. If one or more than one of these functions
have been activated before, they will be deactivated again as soon as ODB is
activated. They will remain deactivated, even if ODB is deactivated later on.
Note
If the drainback option ODB is activated, the factory settings of the parameters nMN / n1MN, DT O, DT F and DT S will be adapted to values suiting
drainback systems:
Additionally, the adjustment range and the factory setting of the collector
emergency shutdown will change. Adjustments previously made in these
channels will be overridden and have to be entered again if the drainback

accessories
SD3 Smart Display
The Smart Display is designed for simple connection to controllers with VBus
is used for visualising data issued by the controller: collector temperature, store
temperature and energy yield of the solar thermal system. The use of high-efciency
LEDs and lter glass assures a high optical brilliance. An additional power supply is
not required.
GA3 Large display module
The GA3 is a completely mounted large display module for visualisation of collector- and store temperatures as well as the heat quantity yield of the solar system via
one 6-digit and two 4-digit 7-segment-displays. An easy connection to all controllers
with VBus
printed with a light-resistant UV-lacquering. The universal VBus® allows the parallel
connection of 8 large displays as well as additional VBus
®
is possible. The front plate is made of antireective lterglass and is
®
modules.
AM1 Alarm Module
The AM1 Alarm Module is designed to signal system failures. It is to be connected
to the VBus
®
of the controller and issues an optical signal via the red LED if a failure
has occurred. The AM1 also has a relay output, which can e. g. be connected to a
building management system (BMS). Thus, a collective error message can be issued
in the case of a system failure.
The AM1 Alarm module ensures that occurring failures can be immediately recog-
nised and repaired, even if the system and the controller are difcult to access or
located in a remote place. Thus, the reliability and the stable yield of the system are
ensured.
DL2 Datalogger
This additional module enables the acquisition and storage of large amounts of data
(such as measuring and balance values of the solar system) over a long period of
time. The DL2 can be congured and read-out with a standard Internet browser
via its integrated web interface. For transmission of the data stored in the internal
memory of the DL2 to a PC, an SD card can be used. The DL2 is appropriate for all
controllers with VBus
®
. It can be connected directly to a PC or router for remote
access and thus enables comfortable system monitoring for yield monitoring or for
diagnostics of faults.

VBus
The VBus® / LAN interface adapter is designed for the direct connection of the
controller to a PC or router. It enables easy access to the controller via the local
network of the owner. Thus, controller access, system parameterisation and data
charting can be effected from every workstation of the network. The VBus® / LAN
interface adapter is suitable for all controllers equipped with a VBus®. The ServiceCenter software is included.
