Thermostat switch-off time Adjustment range: 00:00 … 23:45 Factory setting: 00:00

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).

TDIS

Disinfection temperature Adjustment range: 0 … 95 °C [30 … 200 °F] Factory setting: 60 °C [140 °F]

This function helps to contain the spread of Legionella in DHW stores by systematically activating the afterheating.

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 afterheating. 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.

Starting time delay

SDIS

Starting time Adjustment range: 0:00 … 24:00 (time) Factory setting: 00:00

If the starting delay option is activated, a starting time for the thermal disinfection with starting delay can be adjusted. The activation of the afterheating 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,

CDIS, SDIS and DDIS.

Arrangement 3:

The controller calculates the temperature difference between collector sensor S1 and store sensor S2. If the difference is larger than or identical to the adjusted 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.

If the maximum collector temperature (CMX) is reached, the solar pump will be activated by R1 and the 3-port valve by R2 in order to direct the surplus energy to a heat dump. 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 for measurement purposes. S3 can optionally be used as the reference sensor for the store emergency shutdown option (OSEM).

If heat quantity measurement (OHQM) is activated, S4 is to be used as the return sensor.

∆T control

DT O

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.

DT F

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

When 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 previously made in these channels will be overridden and have to be entered again if ODB is deactivated later on.

Installation Indications, functions and options MessagesCommissioningOperation and function

RIS

Rise Adjustment range: 1 … 20 K [2 … 40 °Ra] Factory setting: 2 K [4 °Ra]

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.

Minimum speed

nMN

Minimum speed Adjustment range: 30 … 100 % Factory setting: 30 % If ODB is activated: 50 %

A relative minimum pump speed can be allocated to the output R1 via the adjustment channel nMN.

Note

When loads which are not speed-controlled (e. g. valves) are used, the value nMN must be set to 100 % to deactivate pump speed control.

Maximum store temperature

Maximum store temperature Adjustment range: 4 … 95 °C [40 … 200 °F] Arr 3: 4 … 90 °C [40 … 190 °F] Factory setting: 60 °C [140 °F]

If the store temperature reaches the adjusted maximum temperature, the store will no longer be loaded in order to avoid damage caused by overheating. A hysteresis of 2 K [4 °Ra] is set for the maximum store temperature.

If the maximum store temperature is exceeded, ☼ is displayed.

Note

If the collector cooling or the system cooling function is activated, the adjusted maximum store temperature may be exceeded. In order to prevent system damage, the controller is also equipped with an integrated store emergency shutdown, deactivating the system if the store reaches 95 °C [200 °F].

Store emergency shutdown

OSEM

Store emergency shutdown option Adjustment range: ON, OFF Factory setting: OFF

This option is used for activating the internal store emergency shutdown for an upper store sensor. If the temperature at the reference sensor exceeds 95 °C [200 °F], the store will be blocked and loading will be stopped until the temperature falls below 90 °C [190 °F].

Note

S3 is used as the reference sensor.

Collector emergency shutdown

Collector limit temperature Adjustment range: 80 … 200 °C [170 … 390 °F] Factory setting: 130 °C [270 °F]

When the collector temperature exceeds the adjusted collector limit temperature, the solar pump (R1) switches off in order to protect the system components against overheating (collector emergency shutdown). If the collector limit temperature is exceeded, ⚠ is displayed (ashing).

Note

If the drainback option ODB is activated, the adjustment range of EM is changed to 80 … 120 °C [170 … 250 °F]. The factory setting in that case is 95 °C [200 °F].

Cooling functions

In the following the 3 cooling functions – collector cooling, system cooling and store cooling – are described in detail. The following note is valid for all 3 cooling functions:

Note

The cooling functions will not become active as long as solar loading is possible.

Collector cooling

OCC

Collector cooling option Adjustment range: OFF / ON Factory setting: OFF

CMX

Maximum collector 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 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 3, the parameter CMX is available without the OCC function. In system 3, CMX is used for setting the activation temperature for the heat dump function. No other switch-on condition is needed in that case.

System cooling

OSYC

System cooling option Adjustment range: OFF / ON Factory setting: OFF

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]

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]

Installation Indications, functions and options MessagesCommissioningOperation and function

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 switch-on 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).

Note

This function will only be available, if the collector cooling function (OCC) is deactivated.

Store cooling

OSTC

Store cooling option Adjustment range: OFF / ON Factory setting: OFF

OHOL

Holiday cooling option Adjustment range: OFF / ON Factory setting: OFF

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 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) 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) 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).

Collector minimum limitation

OCN

Collector minimum limitation option Adjustment range: OFF / ON Factory setting: OFF

CMN

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) will only be switched on if the adjustable minimum collector 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

OCF

Antifreeze option Adjustment range: OFF / ON Factory setting: OFF

CFR

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.

Tube collector function

OTC

Tube collector option Adjustment range: OFF / ON Factory setting: OFF

TCST

Tube collector function starting time Adjustment range: 00:00 … 23:45 Factory setting: 07:00

TCEN

Tube collector function ending time Adjustment range: 00:00 … 23:45 Factory setting: 19:00

TCRU

Tube collector function runtime Adjustment range: 5 … 500 s Factory setting: 30 s

TCIN

Tube collector function standstill interval Adjustment range: 1 … 60 min Factory setting: 30 min

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 seconds, 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.

Note

If the drainback option ODB is activated, TRCU will not be available. In that case, the runtime will be determined by the parameters tFLL and tSTB.

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 systems 1 and 2.

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, 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 option is deactivated later on.

Does the pump start up in manual

operation?

yes

There is no current; check fuses /

replace them and check power

supply.

The adjusted temperature differ-

ence for starting the pump is to high; choose a value which makes more sense.

Is the pump current enabled by the

controller?

yes

Is the pump stuck?

Turn the pump shaft using a screw-

driver; now passable?

Pump is defective - replace it.

Controller fuse ok?

Controller might be defective -

replace it.

yes

no yes

Overvoltage protection device

In order to avoid overvoltage damage at collector sensors (e. g. caused by local lightning storms), we recommend installing the overvoltage protection RESOL SP10.

8.2 VBus

accessories

SD3 Smart Display

The RESOL Smart Display is designed for simple connection to RESOL controllers with RESOL VBus

. It 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-efciency 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 RESOL VBus

is possible. The front plate is made of antireective lterglass and

is printed with a light-resistant UV-lacquering. The universal RESOL VBus® allows the parallel connection of 8 large displays as well as additional VBus® 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 difcult 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. System access is possible with just a few clicks via the VBus.net Internet portal. 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 RESOL 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.

DL3 Datalogger

Be it solar thermal, heating or DHW heat exchange controllers – with the DL3 you can easily and conveniently log system data. Get a comprehensive overview of all controllers connected with the large full graphic display.

Transfer data with an SD memory card, or use the LAN interface to view and process data on your PC. System access is possible with just a few clicks via the VBus. net Internet portal.

8.3 Interface adapters

VBus

/ USB interface adapter

The VBus

/ USB interface adapter is the interface between the controller and a personal computer. With its standard mini USB port it enables a fast transmission of system data for processing, visualising and archiving as well as the parametrisation of the controller via the VBus®. The RESOL ServiceCenter software is included.

VBus

/ LAN interface adapter

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 RESOL VBus®. The RESOL ServiceCenter software is included.
