Advice regarding the installation of temperature sensors: Only original factory equipped Pt1000 temperature sensors are approved for using with
the controller, it is equipped with 1.5m silicon cable and suitable for all weather conditions, the cable is temperature resistant up to 280oC, connect the temperature sensors to the corresponding terminals with either polarity.
Only original factory equipped NTC10K,B=3950 temperature sensors are approved for
using with tank and pipe, it is equipped with 3m PVC cable, and the cable is temperature resistant up to 105oC, connect the temperature sensors to the corresponding terminals with either polarity.
All sensor cables carry low voltage, and to avoid inductive effects, must not be laid close
to 230 volt or 400 volt cables (minimum separation of 100mm).
If external inductive effects are existed, e.g. from heavy current cables, overhead train
cables, transformer substations, radio and television devices, amateur radio stations, microwave devices etc., then the cables to the sensors must be adequately shielded.
Sensor cables may be extended to a maximum length of ca. 100 meter, when cable’s
length is up to 50m, and then 0.75mm2 cable should be used. When cable’s length is up to 100m, and then 1.5mm2 cables should be used.
4. System description (Standard solar system with 1 tank, 1 collector field)
Description:
The controller calculates the temperature difference between collector sensor T1 and tank sensor T2. If the difference is larger than or identical to the adjusted switch-on temperature difference, the solar circulation pump (R1) will be switched on and the tank will be loaded until the switch-off temperature difference or the maximum tank temperature is reached.

6.3 Value checking and function checking
Under normal running status of controller, press “ +/-“ button
to check the measured value of temperature of collector and
tank, value of flow rate (L/M) , status of thermal sterilization
function , status of auxiliary functions , status of voltage of
battery(VOL), running time of display ( DAYS), running time of controller ( MDAY), program version
of display (SW), and program version of main controller (SW-M)
Note:
Flow rate, thermal sterilization function, auxiliary functions can only be displayed only when
these functions are triggered.
When thermal sterilization function is running, time of thermal sterilization can be checked.
When one of any auxiliary functions is running, its corresponding signal blinks on the display.
SW: program version of display, SW-M: program version of controller. DAYS:running time of display; MDAY:running time of controller
When you already in the interface of value checking function, if no any button is pressed
within 3 minutes, the display will return to the main interface.
7. Functions operation and parameters setting (for user)
7.1 Timing heating
Function description:
Electrical heater or gas / oil boiler is normally used as back-up heating source of a solar hot water
system. Through this timing heating function controller can keep the tank temperature constantly.
When tank temperature (T3) drops below the switch-on thermostats temperature, back-up heating
output HR is triggered, when T3 rises up to the switch-off thermostats temperature, HR is ceased.
Set time sections and temperature for timing heating
Factory set:
The first time section: default at 4:00 to start heating, and at 5:00 to stop heating, and
Page 14 of 48
the switch-on temperature of heating is 40oC，switch-off temperature is 50oC。
The second time section: default at 10:00 to start heating, and at 10:00 to stop heating,  The Third time section: default at 17:00 to start heating, and at 22:00 to stop heating,
and the switch-on temperature of heating is 50oC，switch-off temperature is 55oC。
If you set the start time and close time with a same value, which means within this time section, the timing heating function is switched-off. For example, at the second time section, start time is set at 10:00, but close time is also set at 10:00.
Timing heating function is run at the preset time section, 3 time sections can be set, and within every time section, the desired temperature may be different. The adjustable range of switch-on temperature is 0oC ~ (OFF-2oC), switch-off temperature range is (ON+2oC) ~ 95oC. SMT Intelligent heating At the case that solar energy is insufficient to heat the tank, in order to ensure user has sufficient hot water, controller will check the temperature of tank automatically at the preset
time, if tank’s temperature is not reached to the desired temperature, then back-up heat
device will be triggered, and when tank’s temperature rises up to the desired value, then
back-up heat device stops.
Factory set: （impossible to be adjusted）
Default at 13:00 of the first time section to trigger the back-up heat device to heat tank to
30 oC,
Default at 14:00 of the second time section to trigger the back-up heat device to heat
tank to 35 oC,
Default at 15:00 of the third time section to trigger the back-up heat device to heat tank
to 40 oC,
Default at 16:00 of the forth time section to trigger the back-up heat device to heat tank
to 45 oC,
Default at 17:00 of the fifth time section to trigger the back-up heat device to heat tank to
50 oC.
Note：
1. If larger power electrical heater (larger than 1500KW) is used, according to the power, we
suggest using controller with 3000W or 4000Woutput.
