Î Always disconnect the controller from power supply
before opening the housing!
ATTENTION!
ESD damage!
Electrostatic discharge can lead to damage to electronic

1.3 Flowmeter
A owmeter RESOL V40 is used in order to determine the volumetric ow rate
in the solar circuit. The installation is to be carried out taking the ow direction
into consideration (consider direction indication on the owmeter). In order to
tranquilize the ow ratio, an inlet and an outlet distance of 30 cm in front of and
behind the owmeter have to be taken into account.
Note:
Versions V40 0.6 to 2.5 are suited for horizontal as well as for vertical
installation. Versions V40 3.5 to 15 are for horizontal installation only. In
order to avoid a pressure surge caused by cavitation in hydronic systems,
the heat transfer uid should be lled in when it is cold, and de-aerators
should be used. Pressure surge and turbulent ow ratios lead to damage
of the sensitive measuring instruments.
In order to use the RESOL WMZ along with a owmeter RESOL V40, the following
connection is to be carried out (polarity of the separate terminals is arbitrary):
1 / 2 = sensor S1 (ow temperature)
3 / 4 = sensor S2 (return temperature)
5 / 6 = owmeter V40
9 / 10 = RESOL VBus

3 Determining the ratio of the glycol-water mixture
(when using ready mixed uids, pay attention to manufacturers‘ instructions)
Since the heat capacity of the heat transfer uid depends on the concentration
of glycol, the proportion of the glycol/water-mixture has to be determined rst.
Determining the ratio for known volumes:
If the volumes of water and glycol in the system are known, the value in vol. % is
calculated as follows:
Vol % = (VG : (VW + VG)) x 100
VG: volume of glycol
VW: volume of water
8
en
Example: if 15 liters of water and 20 liters of glycol are used in the solar circuit,
then follows:
Vol % = (20 : (15 + 20)) x 100 = 57
Determining the ratio for unknown volumes:
RESOL refractomter:
In order to analyze the system, a small amount of uid has to be withdrawn from
the solar circuit and applied to the prism surface of the refractometer. Hold the
pointy end against the light and turn the ocular until the borderlines become visible. The borderlines indicate the freezing temperature. In a table on the receptacle
of the heat transfer uid, the value for the vol.-% corresponding to the temperature value, is shown.

Completing the commissioning menu:

All adjustments made during commissioning can, if necessary, be changed later on
in the corresponding menus.
5 Function
During the calculation of the transferred heat quantity, the calorimeter RESOL
WMZ takes into account that the specic heat capacity c and the density r depend
on the temperature and the mixing proportion (access to limited values). Using
these parameters, the measurement of the ow and return temperatures with two
precision temperature sensors, and the evaluation of the impulses of a volumetric
owmeter, the WMZ calculates the transferred quantity.
This device can be used in systems which use water or water-propylene glycol
mixtures as the heat transfer uid. The proportion (in vol%) used in a system and
the specication of the selected owmeter (in liters per impulse) are adjusted
locally after the installation.
