General safety instructions

Notice for the target group
These installation instructions are intended for plumbers, heating engineers and electricians. All instructions must be observed. Failure to comply with instructions may result  in material damage and personal injury, including possible loss of life.

• Read the installation instructions (heat source, heating controller, etc.) before installation.
• Observe the safety instructions and warnings.
• Observe national and regional regulations, technical rules and guidelines.

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.

Electrical work
Electrical work must only be carried out by a qualified electrician.

• Before starting electrical work:
  – Isolate the mains electrical supply and secure against reconnection.
  – Using suitable means, test that the mains voltage is disconnected.

• Never connect the product to mains voltage.

• Also observe the connection diagrams of other system components.

Product information

The CR 50 user interface is a control unit without an outdoor temperature sensor.
Information on energy efficiency (ERP Directive) can be found in the operating instructions.

Product description

The user interface is used to control a heating circuit without mixer and a DHW tank charging circuit for water heating directly at the heat source.
The user interface is not suitable for connecting the DHW cylinder behind a low loss header.
The user interface is installed in a suitable living space.

2.5 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.

2.6 Additional accessories
No other BUS modules and user interfaces are possible in the system with the CR 50.
Combination is not possible with the following products: FR…, FW…, TR…, TF…, TA…

Installation

DANGER:
Life-threatening danger from electrical shock!

• Before installing this product:
  Disconnect the heat source and all other BUS nodes from the mains voltage across all poles.

Installation location

This user interface is intended only for wall-mounted installation.
Do not install in the heat source or in wet areas.

Fig. 4 Installation location in the reference room

Installation

Electrical connection

Power is supplied to the user interface via the BUS cable. The wires are insensitive to polarity.
If the maximum total length of the BUS interfaces between all BUS nodes is exceeded or the BUS system has a ring structure, commissioning of the system is not possible.

Maximum total length of BUS interfaces:

• 50 m at 0.50 mm conductor cross-section 2
• 300 m at 1.50 mm conductor cross-section.
• To avoid inductive interference: Make sure all low-voltage cables are routed separately from mains voltage cables (min. clearance 100 mm).
• In the case of external inductive interferences (e.g. from photovoltaic systems), use shielded cables (e.g. LIYCY) and earth the shield on one side. Connect the shield to  the building’s earthing system, such as to a free earth conductor terminal or water pipe.
• Establish a BUS connection to the heat source.

1. Terminal identification:
   On heat sources with an Open Term BUS system: OT
   On heat sources with a BUS system EMS 2 ABBAS
   On heat sources with a 2-wire BUS: BB

Hooking in or removing the user interface

Fitting the user interface

1. Hook in the user interface at the top.
2. Click in the user interface at the bottom.

Removing the user interface

1. Press the button on the underside of the plinth.
2. Pull the bottom of the user interface away from the plate.
3. Remove the user interface by lifting upward.

Commissioning

• First make all electrical connections and then carry out commissioning.

• Follow all installation instructions for all components and assemblies in the system.

• Turn on the mains power supply.

• Set the heat source to the maximum flow temperature needed and activate the automatic operation for water heating.
  Once the user interface is connected to the power supply, the language selection appears on the display.

• Make adjustments by turning and pressing the selector.

• Set the language.

The display switches to the date setting.

• Set the date.

The display switches to the time setting.

• Set the time.

The CR 50 is now set up as a controller and the display automatically changes to the standard display. The heating system and DHW heating are operating (continuous hot water, heating according to the heating program).

The manual adaptation to the individual heating system can be performed in the service menu.

• Make the corresponding system settings, such as Control type, Max. Split., PID char act., Opt. pump run, Frost protect, Max. DHW temp

5 Shutdown / switching off

The user interface is powered via the BUS interface and is always switched on. The system should only be switched off for maintenance work, for example.

• Disconnect power from the entire system and all BUS nodes.

After a prolonged power failure or extended period of idleness, the date and time may need to be reset. All other settings are retained permanently.

Service menu

• If the standard display is active, press and hold the menu key for about three seconds until the service menu appears in the main menu is displayed.
• Press the selector to open the highlighted service menu.
• Turn the selector to select a menu item or change the value of a setting.
• Press the selector to open the selected menu item, activate the input field for a setting or confirm a setting.

Depending on the control device for the heat source and BUS system employed, some menu items are displayed and cannot be adjusted using the user interface.

NOTICE:
Risk of damaging or destroying the screed!
If an underfloor heating system is installed, observe the maximum flow temperature recommended by the manufacturer.
