• Time
• Date
• Selection: System or Scheme
• Scheme number (if selection = Scheme)
• Solar system (if selection = System)
• Hydraulic variant (if selection = System)
At the end of the commissioning menu, a security enquiry follows. If the security
enquiry is conrmed, the adjustments are saved.
For further information about the commissioning menu see page 14.
2. Registering sensors
If a owmeter, a ow switch, a FlowRotor and / or a Grundfos Direct Sensor
connected, these have to be registered in the Inputs / Outputs menu.

5.1 Basic systems and hydraulic variants
en
System
InstallationIndications, functions and options
The controller is pre-programmed for 4 basic systems. The selection depends on
the number of heat sources (collector elds) and heat sinks (stores, pool). Factory
setting is system 1.
CommissioningOperation and function
System 0: no solar system
System 1: 1 collector eld - 1 store
System 2: East / west collectors - 1 store
System 3: 1 collector eld - 2 storeSystem 4: East / west collectors - 2 store
The selection of the basic solar system is one of the most important adjustments
and is thus requested already in the commissioning menu.
First, the basic system is adjusted by means of the number of stores and collectors
elds, then the hydraulic variant.
The selected system is visualised by the corresponding number of store and collector symbols. The gure to the left shows system 4 which consists of 2 stores and 2
collector elds (“east- / west collectors”).
Variant
The hydraulic variant refers to the different actuators that are to be controlled.
They are visualised on the display by means of symbols, when the variant is selected.
The upper symbol indicates the actuator belonging to the collector elds, the lower
one the actuators belonging to the stores.
The exemplary gure shows the display indicated when system 4, variant 1 has
been selected. In this case, each collector eld has a pump, the stores are loaded by
means of valve logic.
A solar system with store loading in layers is
implemented as a 2-store system
(store top = store 1; store bottom = store 2).

First of all, the basic solar system can be selected according to the number of stores
and collector elds in use. The corresponding numbers are indicated on the display.
The exemplary gure shows system 4 with its 2 stores and 2 collector elds
(east- / west collectors).
When the basic system has been selected and con rmed, the hydraulic variant can
be selected. The variant is visualised on the display by means of pump and valve
symbols. The exemplary gure shows variant 1 of system 4 with a 3-port valve and
a pump. For an overview of the basic systems and their variants see page 17.
The controller supports up to 2 collector elds and up to 2 solar stores.
The following items in the Solar / Basic settings menu will adjust to the system

The store number refers to the corresponding store sensor, not to the priority of
the store. In the Priority channel, the corresponding store number is suggested as
factory setting, but may be changed at will.
CommissioningOperation and function
The store numbers refer to the sensors as follows:
Store 1 = Sensor S2
Store 2 = Sensor S4
If the temperature 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 exceeds the adjusted
nominal value by 1 / 10 of the Rise value, the pump speed increases by one step
(1 %). The response of the controller can be adapted via the parameter Rise. Each
time the difference increases by 1 / 10 of the adjustable rise value, the pump speed
increases by one step until the maximum pump speed of 100 % is reached. If the
temperature difference decreases by 1 / 10 of the adjustable rise value, pump speed
will be decreased by one step.
In systems with 2 stores, loading logic adjustments can be made in this menu.
Store sequence control:
If the priority store cannot be loaded, the subordinate store will be checked. If useful heat can be added, it will be loaded for the circulation time. After this, the loading
process stops and the controller monitors the increase in collector temperature
during the loading break time Load. break. If it increases by 2 K, the break time
timer starts again to allow the collector to gain more heat. If the collector temper-
ature does not increase suf ciently, the subordinate store will be loaded again for
the Circulation time.
As soon as the switch-on condition of the priority store is ful lled, it will be loaded.
If the switch-on condition of the priority store is not ful lled, loading of the second
store will be continued. If the priority store reaches its maximum temperature,
store sequence control will not be carried out.
Each loading process will be carried out for the duration of the Minimum runtime (tMin in the Solar / Basic settings / Store menu) at least, regardless of the
switch-off condition.
Note:
In systems 1 and 2, only the menu item Pump delay will be available.

Depending on whether the bypass is energised by a valve or by a second pump, a
corresponding adjustment can be made in the menu item Variant. Depending on
the variant, different control logics are applied:
Pump:
In this version, a bypass pump is placed in front of the collector pump.
The bypass pump is rst activated when store loading is possible. If the temperature
difference between the Bypass sensor and the store sensor reaches the Bypass switch-on temperature difference, the bypass pump is switched off and the
solar pump is switched on instead.
Valve:
A bypass valve is placed into the solar circuit.
The solar heat exchanger is rst bypassed when store loading is possible. If the
temperature difference between the Bypass sensor and the store sensor reaches
the Bypass switch-on temperature difference, the bypass relay operates the
valve and solar loading starts.
When the valve variant is selected, the option Inverted is additionally available.
When the Inverted option is activated and the bypass circuit becomes activated,
the relay switches on. If the temperature difference between the Bypass sensor
and the store sensor reaches the Bypass switch-on temperature difference,
the relay switches off.

This function is used to link loading circuits that are separated by an external heat
exchanger.
The allocated relay is energised if one of the selected stores is being loaded and
there is a temperature difference between the sensor of the corresponding store
and the solar ow.
The relay is switched off if this temperature difference falls below the adjusted
switch-off difference.
In contrast to the bypass function, a differential control between Sen. Ext. HX and
the store temperature can be carried out by means of the heat exchanger relay.
The reference sensor can be arbitrarily allocated.
In System 3, variant 2, the heat exchanger relay operates the primary circuit pump.
The heat exchanger is protected by a non-adjustable antifreeze function.
Note:
Because of the special hydraulics in systems with 2 collectors, the Target
temperature function will not work properly there.
Note:
The heat exchanger is protected by a non-adjustable antifreeze function.
Using a bypass is recommended nevertheless.

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 pauses 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. If the Maximum store temperature off option is activated and the temperature of the store to be loaded exceeds the maximum store
temperature, the tube collector function will be suppressed.
2-collector systems
In 2-collector systems, the tube collector function is available for each individual
collector eld.
The tube collector function will remain inactive for a collector eld which is used
for solar loading.

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:
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.
Time period - switch-on condition
The parameter Initialis. is used for adjusting the time period during which the
switch-on condition must be permanently ful lled.
Filling time
The lling time can be adjusted using the parameter Filling time. During this period, the pump runs at maximum speed.
Stabilisation
The parameter Stab. time is used for adjusting the time period during which the
switch-off condition will be ignored after the lling time has ended.
The Booster option is used for switching on a second pump when lling the solar
system. The corresponding relay is switched on at 100 % speed for the duration of
the lling time.
A short time (Delay time) after the system has been emptied, the Drain impulse option will switch on the solar pump for an adjustable Duration. Thus, a
hydrostatic head will form in the ow pipe. When it falls back into the holding tank,
water pockets remaining in the collector will be sucked down into the holding tank.

Note:
The switch-on collector temperature must be adjusted at least by 10 K
lower than the emergency switch-off temperature.
The Heat dump function can be used to direct excess heat generated by strong
solar irradiation to an external heat exchanger (e. g. fan coil) in order to keep the
collector temperature within the operating range.
Whether the heat dump is activated via an additional pump or a valve can be adjusted in the menu item Variant.
Variant pump:
The allocated relay is energised with 100 %, if the collector temperature reaches the
adjusted switch-on temperature.
If the collector temperature falls by 5 K below the adjusted collector overtemper-
ature, the relay will be switched off. In the variant pump, the heat dump function
works independent from solar loading.
Variant valve:
If the collector temperature reaches the [Tcol. - DT valve], the allocated relay
switches on. This ensures that the valve has completed its motion before the pump
is activated. If the collector temperature falls by 5 K below the adjusted collector
overtemperature, the relay will be switched off.
If one of the store temperatures exceeds its store maximum temperature while the
heat dump function is active, the function will be deactivated and an error message
will appear. If the temperature falls below this value by the hysteresis maximum
store temperature (HysSt in the Solar / Basic settings / Store menu), the heat dump

inhibited, but the system should be checked for the cause of the warning.
Possible causes are:
• pump power too weak
• hydraulic blockage of a system component
• circulation problems in the collector
• air inside the system
• defective valve / defective pump
Night circulation
This function can be used for detecting thermal circulation inside the solar circuit
that leads to an unwanted cooling of the store. A warning message will appear when
one of the following conditions has been detected for at least 1 min during the
period between 11 p.m. and 5 a.m.:
• collector temperature exceeds 40 °C
• the temperature difference exceeds DTo n
The delay time of 1 min ensures that the message is not triggered by short-term
fault conditions.
Possible causes are:
• defective non-return valves
• defective valve
• wrongly adjusted time
Flow and return pipe interchanged
This function is used for detecting an interchange of the ow and return pipe or a
badly placed collector sensor. For this purpose, the collector temperature is monitored for plausibility during the switch-on phases of the solar pump. The message
FL / RE interchanged will appear, when the plausibility criteria have not been met
5 times in a row.
Maximum store temperature
This function is used for detecting and indicating if the adjusted maximum store
temperature has been exceeded. The controller compares the current store temperature to the adjusted maximum store temperature, thus monitoring the store
loading circuits.
The maximum store temperature is considered exceeded when the temperature
measured at the store sensor exceeds the adjusted maximum store temperature by
at least 5 K. The monitoring becomes active again as soon as the store temperature
falls below the adjusted maximum store temperature.
In the Store channel, the store or stores to be monitored can be selected.
A possible cause for an unwanted exceedance of the maximum store temperature
is a defective valve.

The Holiday function is used for operating the system when no water consump-
tion is expected, e. g. during a holiday absence. This function cools down the system
in order to reduce the thermal load.
Only if the holiday function has been activated with the parameter Days of absence
will the adjustments described in the following become active, see below.
4 different cooling functions are available: System cooling, Collector cooling, Store
cooling and Store heat dump.
System cooling:
If the system cooling variant has been selected and the switch-on temperature difference is exceeded, store loading is continued even if the corresponding maximum
Messages
temperature is exceeded, but only up to the emergency shutdown temperature.
Store loading continues until all stores have reached the emergency shutdown temperature or until the switch-off temperature difference is reached.
Collector cooling:
If the collector cooling variant has been selected, store loading is continued or
reactivated when the collector maximum temperature is exceeded.
Store loading continues until all stores have reached the emergency shutdown temperature or until the collector temperature falls below the collector maximum
temperature by at least 5 K. In 2-collector systems, separate adjustments can be
made for each collector eld.
The control logic regards collector cooling operation as solar loading. The adjusted
values for delay, minimum runtime, etc. remain valid.
Store cooling:
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.
When the store cooling function is activated, the solar pump is switched on if the
maximum store temperature is exceeded and the collector temperature falls below
the store temperature. The solar pump remains active until the store temperature
falls below the adjusted maximum store temperature.
The store order for the cooling is the same as in the overheating through systemor collector cooling.
The store heat dump function can be used to direct excess heat generated by
strong solar irradiation from the store to an external heat exchanger (e. g. fan coil)
or radiator in order to prevent the collectors from overheating. The store heat
dump function is independent of the solar system and can be activated with the
parameter Heat dump. The function uses the adjustable switch-on and switch-off
temperature differences TStoreOn and TStoreOff.
If the temperature measured at the sensor selected reaches the switch-on temperature, the relay selected will be energised until the temperature difference falls
below the switch-off value. The parameter Days of absence can be used for entering
the number of days for a holiday absence.
If the parameter is set to a value higher than 0, the function becomes active using
the adjustments that have previously been made in the Holiday menu. The days will
be counted backwards at 00:00. If the value is set to 0, the function is deactivated.
Note:
The parameter Days of absence can be accessed via the microbutton ⛁
only (see page 8).
Note:
The adjustments described in this chapter are independent of those in the
Cooling mode menu, which are inactive during days of absence.
The Expert menu is only available when the installer user code has been entered.
In the expert menu, a ow and a return sensor can be selected and allocated. The
activated sensors are then used to detect the switch-off condition.

The Parallel relay function can be used to operate an allocated parallel relay
alongside a selected reference relay. With this function, e. g. a valve can be controlled
in parallel to the pump via a separate relay.
If the Overrun option is activated, the parallel relay remains switched on for the
adjusted Overrun time after the reference relay has been switched off.
If the Delay option is activated, the parallel relay will be energised after the adjusted Delay time has elapsed. If the reference relay is switched off again during the
delay time, the parallel relay will not be switched on at all.
When the Speed option has been activated, the Relay will assume the pump speed
information for the Reference relay. If the Inverted option is activated at the same
time, the relay will only switch on / off without pump speed control.
If the Inverted option is activated, the parallel relay switches on when the reference relay switches off and vice versa.

In addition to the pre-dened optional functions, function blocks consisting of ther-
mostat functions, timers, differential functions and reference relays are available.
With the help of these function blocks, further components, resp. functions can be
controlled.
To each function block, sensors and free relays can be allocated. Sensors already in
use can be allocated again without impeding their control functions.
Within a function block the functions are interconnected (AND gate). This means
that the switching conditions of all the activated functions have to be fullled (e. g.
thermostat and timer) for switching the allocated relay. As soon as one condition is
not fullled, the relay is switched off.
Thermostat function
The switch-on condition for the thermostat function is considered fullled when
the adjusted switch-on temperature (Th(x) on) is reached.
It is considered unfullled when the adjusted switch-off temperature (Th(x)off) is
reached.
Allocate the reference sensor in the Sensor channel.
Adjust the maximum temperature limitation with Th(x)off> Th(x)on and the minimum temperature limitation with Th(x)on> Th(x)off. The temperatures cannot be
set to an identical value.
DT function
The switch-on condition for the DT function is considered fullled when the adjust-
ed switch-on temperature (DT(x) on) is reached.
It is considered unfullled when the adjusted switch-off temperature (DT(x)off) is
reached.
The DT function is equipped with a speed control function. A set temperature difference and a minimum speed can be adjusted. The non-adjustable rise value is 2 K.
Reference relay
Up to 3 reference relays can be selected. Whether the reference relays are to be
switched in series (AND), in parallel (OR), in series inverted (NAND) or in parallel
inverted (NOR) can be adjusted in the Mode channel.
In the OR mode, the switch-on condition for the reference relay function is consid-
ered fullled when at least one of the reference relays is active.
If none of the reference relays is active, the switch-on condition for the reference
relay function is considered unfullled.
In the NOR mode, the switch-on condition for the reference relay function is con-
sidered fullled when none of the reference relays is active.
As soon as at least one of the reference relays is active, the switch-on condition for
the reference relay function is considered unfullled.
In the AND mode, the switch-on condition for the reference relay function is considered fullled when none of the reference relays is inactive.
As soon as at least one of the reference relays is inactive, the switch-on condition
for the reference relay function is considered unfullled.
In the NAND mode, the switch-on condition for the reference relay function is
considered fullled when at least one of the reference relays is inactive.
If none of the reference relays is inactive, the switch-on condition for the reference
relay function is considered unfullled.
Note:
If more than one function block has been activated, relays of numerically
higher function blocks may not be used as reference relays.

Port routing in the router
Note:
Not all routers support port routing. For further information consult the
router documentation.
In order to access, over the Internet, one or several controllers with LAN interfaces
connected to one router, port routing has to be con gured in the router.
The LAN interface of the controller communicates via the following ports:
• Web interface port: 443 (adjustable, default port: 443)
Messages
• RESOL ServiceCenter port: 7053 (non-adjustable)
In order to carry out port routing in the router, proceed as follows:
Î Assign a static LAN IP address to the LAN interface using the con guration
menu of the router.
Î Assign a port to the IP address using the con guration menu of the router.
In this example (see table below), 3 LAN interfaces are assigned 1 web interface
port and 1 RESOL ServiceCenter software port each.
The controller is equipped with a MicroSD card slot for MicroSD memory cards.
With a MicroSD card, the following functions can be carried out:
• Logging measurement and balance values. After the transfer to a computer, the
values can be opened and visualised, e. g. in a spreadsheet.
• Store adjustments and parameterisations on the MicroSD card and, if necessary,
retrieve them from there.
• Running rmware updates on the controller.

Sensors
The product range includes high-precision platinum temperature sensors, atscrew
sensors, outdoor temperature sensors, indoor temperature sensors, cylindrical clipon sensors, also as complete sensors with immersion sleeve.
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.
VFS and RPS Grundfos Direct Sensors™
The RPS Grundfos Direct Sensor™ is an analogue sensor that measures both temperature and pressure.
The VFS Grundfos Direct Sensor™ is an analogue sensor that measures both tem-
perature and ow rate.
V40 owmeter
The RESOL V40 is a measuring instrument for detecting the ow of water or water / glycol mixtures. After a specic volume has passed, the V40 reed switch sends
an impulse to the calorimeter. The heat quantity used is calculated by the calorimeter using these impulses and the measured temperature difference with the help of
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-efciency LEDs and lter glass assures a high optical brilliance. An additional power supply is not required. One module is required per controller.
The RESOL 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 antireective 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. Depending on the controller and the sensors connected,
different fault conditions can be signalled, e. g. sensor failures, excess or negative
system pressure as well as errors in the ow rate, such as a dry run of the pump.
The AM1 Alarm module ensures that occurring failures can be immediately recognised
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.
KM1 Communication module
The KM1 Communication module is the network connection for solar and heating
systems, especially suited for technicians managing large systems, heating installers
and home owners who like to keep a close eye on their system. The system can be
parameterised over the Internet. VBus.net enables e. g. controlling the system yield
in a comprehensive system scheme image.
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 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 of up to 6 RESOL controllers. 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.
