Changes in the merchandise described in the manual may have been introduced subsequent to its completion on March 15.03.2021. The manufacturer retains the right to introduce changes to the structure. The illustrations may include additional equipment. Print technology may result in differences in colours shown.Care for the natural environment is our priority. Being aware of the fact that we manufacture electronic devices obligates us to dispose of used elements and electronic equipment in a manner which is safe for nature. As a result, the company has received a registry number assigned by the Main Inspector of Environmental Protection. The symbol of a crossed out rubbish bin on a product means that the product must not be thrown out to ordinary waste bins. By segregating waste intended for recycling, we help protect the natural environment. It is the user’s responsibility to transfer waste electrical and electronic equipment to the selected collection point for recycling of waste generated from electronic and electrical equipment.

DESCRIPTION OF THE DEVICE

DHW circulation regulator is intended for controlling DHW circulation to suit individual user’s needs. In an economical and convenient way, it reduces the time needed for hot water to reach the fixtures. It controls the circulating pump which, when the user draws water, accelerates the flow of hot water to the fixture, exchanging the water there for hot water at the desired temperature in the circulation branch and at the tap. The system monitors the temperature set by the user in the circulation branch and it activates the pump only when the pre-set temperature is lowered. Thus it does not generate any heat loss in the DHW system. It saves energy, water and equipment in the system (eg circulation pump). The circulation system operation is activated again only when hot water is needed and at the same time the pre-set temperature in the circulation branch drops.The device regulator offers all the functions necessary to adjust to various DHW circulation systems. It may control hot water circulation or enable the circulating pump in case of heat source overheating (e.g. in solar heating systems). The device offers pump anti-stop function (protecting against rotor lock) and adjustable working time of circulation pump (defined by the user).

Additional functionalities

• possibility of activating the pump e.g. for heat treatment of the system / anti-legionella function
• multilingual menu
• compatible with other devices e.g. DHW tank (DHW exchanger), continuous-flow water heater
• The device is an intelligent, ecological solution for all hot water circulation circuits or other systems that perform similar functions.

HOW TO INSTALL WATER FLOW SENSOR

The water flow sensor should be mounted on the cold water supply of the appliance (e.g. water tank) whose circulation of hot water will be operated by the controller. Upstream of the sensor, it is necessary to mount a shut-off valve, a filter preventing against contamination and possible damage of the device, as well as a check valve. The device may be positioned vertically, horizontally or diagonally. Prior to mounting it on the piping system, remove the electronic sensor by undoing 2xM4 screws from the sensor body. Once mounted on the piping system, the sensor should be screwed onto the body. The body of the flow sensor is equipped with 2 conical external threads ¾ that should be sealed in some way, ensuring tight connection. Use tools which do not damage the mechanical brass body of the device. Mount the body in accordance with the water flow direction and the markings, and then connect the sensor wires to the control circuit following the connection diagram. The sensor should be mounted in a way which protects the electronical parts from dampness and eliminates any mechanical stress in the system.

CONTROLLER MENU

1. BLOCK DIAGRAM – MAIN MENU

2. LANGUAGE This function is used to select the language of the controller menu.

3. PRE-SET CIRC. TEMP.
   This function enables the user to define the pre-set circulation temperature and hysteresis. When the flow sensor detects flowing water and the temperature is lower that the pre-set value, the pump will be enabled. It will be disabled when the pre-set is over.
   Example
   Pre-set circulation temperature: 38°C
   Hysteresis: 1°C
   The pump will be enabled when the temperature drops below 37°C. When it increases above 38°C, the pump will not be enabled.
   If the sensor is deactivated (ON/OFF funtion) and the temperature reaches its maximum value + 1°C, the pump will be enabled and it will remain active until the temperature drops by 10°C.
   NOTE
   Once the sensor is deactivated (ON/OFF function), the alarm will not be activated.

4. PERATION TIME
   This function is used to define the operation time of the pump once it is activated by the flow sensor or anti-stop.

5. PRE-SET THRESH. TEMP.
   This function is used to define the pre-set threshold temperature and hysteresis. Once this function is selected, the pump will be enabled when the threshold temperature is exceeded and it will remain active until the threshold temperature drops below the pre-set circulation temperature minus hysteresis.
   Example:
   Pre-set threshold temperature: 85°C Hysteresis: 10°C The pump will be enabled when the temperature of 85°C is exceeded. When the temperature drops to 80°C (pre-set thresh.temp. – hysteresis), the pump will be disabled.
   NOTE
   The pre-set circulation (threshold) temperature is displayed on the main screen, above the pump status icon.
   If the circulation sensor is disabled (the ON/OFF function) and the temperature reaches the maximum value + 1°C, the pump will be enabled and it will operate until the temperature drops below the pre-set hysteresis.
   NOTE
   Once the sensor is deactivated (ON/OFF function), the alarm will not be activated.

6. MANUAL OPERATION
   Once this option is selected, the user can activate particular devices manually (e.g. CH pump) in order to check if they operate properly.

7. ANTI-STOP ON/OFF
   This function forces the activation of pumps to prevent limestone depositing during long periods of pump standstill. Once this function is selected, the pump will be enabled once a week for a pre-defined time ().

8. FACTORY SETTINGS
   The controller is pre configured for operation. However, the settings should be customized to the user’s needs. All the parameter changes introduced by the user are saved and they are not deleted even in the event of power failure. In order to restore factory settings, select <Fact. Settings> in the main menu. It enables the user to restore the settings saved by the controller manufacturer.

9. ABOUT
   Once this function is selected, the main screen displays the name of the manufacturer and the controller software version.

NOTE
When contacting TECH service department, it is necessary to provide the controller software version.
