General safety instructions

Instructions for the target group
These operating instructions are intended for the heating system user.
All instructions must be observed. Failure to comply with instructions may result in material damage and personal injury, including possible loss of life.

  • Read and retain the operating instructions (heat source, heating controller, etc.) prior to operation.
  • Observe the safety instructions and warnings.

Determined use

  • Only use the product to control solar heating systems in single-family homes or apartment buildings.

Any other use is considered inappropriate. We take no responsibility for damage caused through incorrect use.

Damage caused by frost
The solar system can freeze if it is switched off:

  • Observe the notices regarding frost protection.
  • Due to the additional functions, e.g. DHW heating or pump  anti-seizure protection, the system should always be left on.
  • Have faults rectified immediately.

Risk of scalding at the DHW draw-off points

  • If DHW temperatures above 60 °C are set or if thermal disinfection is activated, a mixer must be installed. If in doubt, ask your installer.

Product Description

The CR 50 user interface is a control unit without an outdoor temperature sensor.

Product data for energy consumption
The specified product data correspond to the requirements of the EU Regulation No. 811/2013 which supplements ErP Directive 2010/30/EU. The class of the temperature controller is required to calculate the central heating energy efficiency of an integrated system and is for this reason incorporated into the system data sheet.

Table 1 Product data with regard to energy efficiency of the user interface

  • Delivered condition
    • Classification of the user interface according to EU Regulation 811/2013 for the labelling of system packages
    • Contribution to seasonal energy efficiency for central heating in %

Applicability of the technical documentation
Information in the technical documentation about heat sources, heating controllers or the BUS apply also to the present user interface.

Loading once If once-only cylinder charging is activated (ON), water heating

or temperature maintenance is active immediately.
Temperature| The hot water temperature can only be set using the remote control if the water heating is set to automatic mode on the heat source.
Mode| The automatic mode for water heating is active when AUTO appears in the value display. The time program for heating also specifies the switching times for water heating. Continuous water heating or temperature maintenance is active when ON appears in the value display. When OFF is in the value display, the water is not heated or kept hot.
Recirculation| Circulation makes hot water available immediately at the hot draw-off points.
