disconnect the controller from the power
supply before opening the housing!
The unit must only be located in dry interior locations. It
is not suitable for installation in hazardous locations and
should not be placed close to any electromagnetic fields.
The controller must additionally be supplied from a doublepole switch with contact gap of at least 3 mm. Please pay
attention to separate routing of sensor cables and power
supply cables.
1. Unscrew the cross-head screw from the cover and
remove it along with the cover from the housing.
2. Mark the upper fastening point on the wall and drill and
fasten the enclosed wall plug and screw leaving the head
protruding.
3. Hang the housing from the upper fastening point and
mark the lower fastening point through the hole in the
terminal box (centers on 130 mm). Drill and insert the
lower wall plug.
4. Fasten the housing to the wall with lower fastening screw
and tighten.

The power supply to the controller must be carried out
via an external power switch (last step!) and the supply
voltage must be 115 V~ (50 ... 60 Hz). Flexible cables must
be attached to the housing with the enclosed strain relief
and the corresponding screws.
The controller is equipped with 2 relays to which loads
such as pumps, valves, etc. can be connected:
for data communication and energy supply of external modules. The
connection is effected with optional polarity at the clamps
marked with „VBus“. Via this data Bus you can install one or
more RESOL VBus® modules, e.g.:
• RESOL large display GA3 / SD3
• RESOL Data logger, DL2
• RESOL Data teleindication
Additionaly, the controller can be connected to the PC with
the help of a RESOL RS-COM adapter. With the RESOL
ServiceCenter Software (RSC) the controller parameters
can be changed, measurements can be read out, processed
and visualised. The software enables an easy function control
and adjustment of the system. A light Version of the software
can be downloaded from www.resol.de for free.
1.2.2 Terminal allocation Arrangement 1Standard solar system with 1 tank, 1 pump and 3 sen-
sors. The sensor S4 / TRF can be optionally used for heat
production measurement.
The controller is operated via the 3 push buttons below
the display. The forward-button (1) is used for scrolling forward through the display menu or to increase the adjustment
values. The backward-button (2) is similarly used for scrolling
backwards and reducing values.

The operating hours counter accumulates the solar operating hours of the respective relay (h P / h P1 / hP2). Full
hours are displayed.
The accumulated operating hours can be set back to zero.
As soon as one operating hours channel is selected, the sym-
bol is displayed. Press the SET (3) button for approx. 3
seconds in order to access the RESET-mode of the counter.
The display symbol will flash and the operating hours
will be set to 0. Confirm the reset with the button in
order to finish the reset.
In order to interrupt the RESET-process, do not press a
button for about 5 seconds. The display returns to the
display mode.
When the switch-on difference (DTO) is continuously exceeded during the tDTO period, the pump is switched on.
When the temperature difference falls below the adjusted
switch-off difference (DTF), the controller switches off.

Filling time
Adjustment range: 1 ... 30 min
Factory setting: 5 min
Please note: The switch-on temperature difference must
be at least 0,5 K higher than the switch-off tempe rature
difference.
The parameter tDTO is used for adjusting the time period
during which the switch-on condition must be permanentely
fulfilled.
The filling time can be adjusted using the parameter tFLL.
During this period, the pump runs at 100% speed and the
booster pump is additionally switched-on.
This function is used for switching on a second pump during
filling the solar system. When solar loading starts, R2 is energized in parallel to R1. After the filling time (tFLL) has ended,
R2 is switched off.
If the adjusted maximum temperature is exceeded, the tank
will no longer be loaded in order to avoid damage caused by
overheating. If the maximum tank temperature is exceeded,
will be shown.
Please note: The controller is equipped with a tank emergency shutdown function, which prevents the tank from being
loaded when the tank temperature exceeds 295 °F.
Heat production measurement is possible if a flowmeter
is used. For this purpose, the heat quantity measurement
option (OHQM)has to be enabled.
The flow rate should be read from the flowmeter (l/min)
and has to be adjusted in the channel FMAX. Antifreeze
type and concentration of the heat transfer medium have to
be adjusted in the channels MEDTandMED%.
The flow rate as well as the reference sensors S1 (flow) and
S4 (return) are used for calculating the heat quantity supplied. It is shown in kWh in the channel kWh and in MWh
in the channel MWh. The overall heat quantity results from
the sum of both values (please pay attention to the units!).
Example: 123 kWh + 123 MWh = 123.123 kWh
The accumulated heat quantity can be reset. As soon as
one of the display channels of the heat quantity is selected,
the symbol is permanently shown on the display. Press
button SET (3) for about 2 seconds in order to access the
RESET mode of the counter. The display symbol will
flash and the heat quantity value will be set to 0. In order to
finish this process, press the button to confirm.
In order to interrupt the RESET process, no button should
be pressed for about 5 seconds. The controller automatically
returns to the display mode.
If the adjusted collector emergency shutdown temperature
(EM) is exceeded, the controller will switch off the solar
pump (R1) in order to protect the system against overheating
(collector emergency shutdown). The factoring setting is
285 °F but it can be changed within the adjustment range of
230 ... 400 °F.

The minimum collector temperature is the minimum
temperature which must be exceeded for the solar pump
(R1) to switch on. The minimum temperature prevents the
pump from being switched on too often at low collector
temperatures. If the temperature falls below the minimum
temperature,
The thermostat function works independently from the

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 SP1.
Flowmeter
If you wish to carry out a heat production measurement,
you need a flowmeter for measuring the flow rate in your
system.
