Please read the following information carefully before
installing and operating the controller. When configuring the
controller please change the default settings as illustrated
in section 4.2. This will avoid damage to the solar system
by common problems such as overheating. Installing the
controller using the default settings without making
any adjustments to the configuration parameters
is likely to result in an overheating condition of the
solar system at some point. Please also note that
changing the system scheme (Arr 1 - 9) will reset all
settings to the defaults. Please ensure that the mounting
is in accordance to local, state and federal regulations.

Warning!
Switch-off power supply before
opening the housing.
The unit is designed for indoor installation only. It is not
suitable for installation in hazardous locations and should not
be sited near to any electromagnetic field. The controller
must installed in accordance with all electrical regulations.
These regulations vary from region to region. Please contact
the appropriate agency in your area if unclear on this.
Wall Mounting Instructions
1. Unscrew the cross-recessed screw of the cover and
remove it from the housing.
2. Mark the upper fastening point on the wall and mount
the enclosed dowel and screw.
3. Hang up the housing at the upper fastening point and
mark the lower fastening point on the wall. The distance
between the 2 mounting holes is 130 mm.
4. Fasten the housing at its lower point..

Electrostatic discharge can lead to damages of electronic components!
The power supply to the controller must only be made by
an external power supply switch and the line voltage must
be 120 VAC (50/60 Hz). Flexible lines are to be fixed at the
housing by enclosed strain relief supports and screws.
The controller is equipped with 2 standard relays, to which
the consumers (pumps, valves etc.) can be connected:
The controller comes with a VBus® 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
VBus® modules.
• Energy Production Measurement Module WMZ-M1
• Large Display GA3
• Data Logger, DL1
• Data Teleindication, DFA2
The controller can also be connected to a PC with the
help of a RS-COM adapter. With the Service Center
Software (RCS) 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.
