Information about the product
Proper usage
The differential temperature controller is designed for electronically controlling
solar thermal, heating and air conditioning systems in compliance with the technical
A controller is the simplest solution for all differential controls.
It is equipped with an adjustable temperature difference and an antifreeze function
which can be activated / deactivated with a jumper.
The enclosed silicone sealing cord guarantees a protection against dripping water.
• Adjustable temperature difference 2 … 16 K [3.6 … 28.8 °Ra],
hysteresis 1.6 K [2.9 °Ra]
• Antifreeze function adjustable by jumper
• Protection against dripping water

2 Installation
2.1 Mounting
WARNING!
The unit must only be located in dry interior rooms.
The controller must additionally be supplied from a double pole switch with con-
tact gap of at least 3 mm.
Please pay attention to separate routing of sensor cables and power supply cables.
The power supply connection is at the terminals:
10 = neutral conductor (N)
11 = conductor (L)
Grounding terminal ⌯ (common terminal block)
Connect the temperature sensors (S1 and S2) to the corresponding terminals
with either polarity:
1 / 2 = Sensor 1 (e. g. collector sensor)
3 / 4 = Sensor 2 (e. g. tank sensor)

4.2 Switch-on temperature difference
The controller calculates the temperature difference between
the temperature sensors S1 and S2. If the difference is larger
than or identical to the adjusted nominal value, the relay will
be switched on. The operating control LED is green. If the
temperature difference falls by 1.6 K / 2.9 °Ra (non-adjustable
hysteresis) below the nominal value, the relay will be switched
off.
Adjustment range: 2 … 16 K
Factory setting: 6 K
4.3 Antifreeze function
The antifreeze function activates the loading circuit between
the collector and the tank when the collector temperature
freezing or coagulating. If the temperature at S1 reaches
+5 °C / 41 °F, the pump will be switched off.
When the antifreeze function is active, the operating control
lampashesquickly.
Deactivated by default
Note
Since this function uses the limited heat quantity of the tank, the antifreeze function should be used in regions with few days of temperatures
around the freezing point.
4 Examples
4.1 Standard solar system with 1 tank
The controller calculates the temperature difference between collector sensor
S1 and tank sensor S2. If the difference is larger than or identical to the adjusted
switch-on temperature difference, the pump (R1) will be switched on and the tank
will be loaded. If the temperature difference falls by 1.6 K / 2.9 °Ra (non-adjustable
hysteresis) below the adjusted temperature difference, the pump will be switched
off.
S1 = Collector sensor
S2 = Tank sensor
RO = Solar pump

The controller calculates the temperature difference between collector sensor
S1 and tank sensor S2. If the difference is larger than or identical to the adjusted
switch-on value, the controller switched the 3-port valve. The heat of the tank is
used for increasing the return temperature of the heating circuit. If the temperature difference falls by 1.6 K / 2.9 °Ra (non-adjustable hysteresis) below the adjusted
temperature difference, the valve will be put into its initial position.
S1 = Tank sensor
S2 = Heating circuit return sensor
4.5 Heat exchange control
When the temperature difference between sensor 1 (tank 1) and sensor 2 (tank
2) exceeds the adjusted value, the circulating pump will be activated. Heat will
be transferred from tank 1 into tank 2. If the temperature difference falls by
1.6 K / 2.9 °Ra (non-adjustable hysteresis) below the adjusted temperature difference, the pump will be switched off.
S1 = Sensor tank 1
S2 = Sensor tank 2

6 Troubleshooting
Spare fuse
(inside the cover)
In the case of an error, please check the following:
Check the power supply of the controller. Is it disconnected?
noyes
The fuse of the controller could be
blown. The fuse holder (which holds
the spare fuse) becomes accessible
when the cover is removed.The fuse
can then be replaced.
Check the supply line and recon-
nect it.
