1 GENERAL SAFETY INFORMATION

9 Check that the product is complete, undamaged and as or-

dered as soon as you receive it. Report any discrepancies or

damage to the Rdealer who sold it.

9 This product must be installed by a legally qualied heat-

ing engineer. On completion of the installation, the install-

er must issue the owner with a declaration of conformity

conrming that the installation has been completed to the

highest standards in compliance with the instructions pro-

vided by Rin this instruction manual, and that it con-

forms to all applicable laws and standards.

9 This product must only be used for the purpose for which it

is designed and made, as specied by R. Rdeclines

all responsibility, contractual or other, for damage to prop-

erty or injury to persons or animals caused by improper in-

stallation, adjustment, maintenance or use.

9 The product must be serviced at least once a year. Servicing

must be arranged in advance with the RTechnical Assis-

tance Service.

9 All servicing and repairs must be performed by a qualied

heating engineer.

9 This instruction manual is an integral part of the product. It

must be kept safe and must ALWAYS accompany the product,

even if it is sold to another owner or transferred to another

user or to another installation. If you lose this manual, or-

der a replacement immediately. Keep the product purchase

documents to be presented to the Rauthorised Technical

Assistance Service to request a service call under warranty.

9 Size the solar expansion tank so as to ensure complete ab-

sorption of the expansion of the uid contained within the

system, with reference to the prevailing regulations on the

matter. In particular, consider uid characteristics, consid-

erable uctuation of service temperature and vapour that

might be generated during solar collector stagnation stage.

Proper size of expansion tank ensures setting off of all vol-

ume changes of the heat transfer uid, avoiding excessive

pressure increase. Limited pressure changes avoid reach-

ing safety valve opening pressure and the consequent uid

drainage.

At the end of its life, the product should be

not be disposed of as solid urban waste,

but rather it should be handed over to a

differentiated waste collection centre.

Button lock/unlock function

The button lock function serves to prevent improper use or acci-

dental changes to pump settings.

When the button lock is active, pressing the button has no ef-

fect. This prevents users from accidentally accessing setting

mode while allowing them to use setting display mode.

If the button (1) is pressed for more than 10 seconds, it can be

switched to enable / disable the lockout function. In doing so, all

the LEDs, with the exception of the red LED, are ashing for one

second to indicate that the lockout function has been switched.

Setting mode

To modify settings, press the button (1) for 2 to 10 seconds. The

user can select new settings provided that the button lock func-

tion is disabled.

Available settings are displayed in a pre-dened sequence that

is repeated every time the button is briey pressed and released.

If the button is not pressed for over 10 seconds, the pump exits

setting mode and returns to performance display mode.

9 The following is mandatory:

−have an omnipolar magneto-thermal circuit breaker and

a disconnecting switch compliant with the prevailing

standards of the installation country

−respect the polarity of the L1 (Phase) - N (Neutral) con-

nections

−use cables with insulation and cross section conforming

to applicable standards (minimum cross section 1.5 mm2)

−make sure the appliance is connected to an efcient

ground (earth).

0 It is strictly forbidden to use pipes of any kind to ground the

appliance.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any damages due to

the missing device grounding.

Refer to the manual supplied with the solar controller for de-

tails of all electrical connections, programming, etc..

The power supply and PWM signal connections must be ar-

ranged by the technician.

To carry out the electric connections:

−remove the frontal insulation (1).

−the cables must be inserted through the proper passages

(F).

−connect the connectors as shown in the gure.

1 PWM CONNECTOR

Brown - Input PWM

Blue - Reference signal

2 POWER SUPPLY

Brown - F

Blue - N

Yellow/green - ⏚

To control the circulator in on/off mode, the PWM cable is not

required.

To control the circulator in modulating mode by using a solar

regulator, verify the compatibility between the chosen regula-

tor and the PWM signal (see following paragraph "CONTROL SIG-

NALS").

CONTROL SIGNALS

The circulator can be controlled with a low voltage PWM digital

signal (pulse width modulation). The speed changes according

to the input signal, as indicated in paragraph "PWM input sig-

nal".

Here below are the main characteristics required of the PWM

signal output by the associated regulator.

9 Check the characteristics of your regulator PWM signal to en-

sure they comply with the features below. Different signals

could irreversibly damage the circulator on-board electron-

ics.

PWM low-voltage digital signal

The PWM square wave signal was designed for a frequency in-

terval between 100 and 4000 Hz. The PWM signal is used to set

circulator speed.

COMMISSIONING AND MAINTENANCE

PWM input signal

With a low input value (<5 % PWM), the pump cannot start. The

pump stops when input signal is 5 to 8% of PWM signal or when

PWM signal is not present, for safety reasons. If the pump re-

ceives no input, due for instance to failure of the signal cable, it

will stop in order to avoid solar system overheating.

14 SYSTEM FLUSHING

Before lling the system with mixture of water and glycol, it is

necessary to ush the pipes of the solar system to eliminate all

residues of uid or scale.

Proceed as follows.

−Verify the ow-meter (C) is completely open

−Turn handle on valve (VR) clockwise

−Open taps (A) and (B) on the return tube

−Flush water in through the cock (B) and wait for it to

come out of the cock (A)

−Allow water to come out for at least 30 seconds

−Turn handle on valve (VR) counter clockwise

−Close taps (A) and (B).

9 During system ushing, pay attention to water coming out

of the taps as vapour could be released with risk of burns or

scalds. Use suitable personal protective equipment.

COMMISSIONING AND MAINTENANCE

9 If copper piping has been used and joints have been hot

brazed, ush out the system to remove any brazing resi-

dues. Seal test the system after you have ushed it out.

9 The solar circuit must be immediately lled with a mixture

of water and glycol, that avoids freezing and corrosion.

15 SYSTEM FILLING COCK

Before lling the system:

−Cut power off to the solar station and to the connected

integration system, by setting the system's main switch

and the device's main switch to OFF

9 Always use a mixture of water and glycol suitable for solar

applications. Choose the mixture according to the minimum

temperature that can be reached at the installation site and

to the maximum service temperature of solar collectors. For

further information, please refer to the glycol safety data

sheet.

When using glycol not pre-mixed:

−Do NOT part ll the circuit with pure glycol then add water

later.

−Ensure that lling water characteristics comply with pre-

vailing regulations; if that is not so, lling water must be

treated. Use portable treatment systems, for instance. In

particular, when chlorine content is very high (> 50ppm)

you must use distilled water for the mixture.

PC Heat transfer uid lling pump

To ll the system, proceed as follows:

−Verify the ow-meter (C) is completely open

−Connect the lling pump (PC) as shown

−Turn handle on valve (VR) clockwise

Open taps (A) and (B) on the return tube

−Open manual degassing tap and any bleeder valve, lo-

cated at the highest points of the system, and keep them

open throughout the lling procedure.

−Pump the heat transfer uid around the circuit with an

external lling pump until all air bubbles have been

eliminated. Close the manual bleed valve and any vent

valves opened previously.

−Turn handle on valve (VR) counter clockwise

−Temporarily raise the pressure in the system to 4 bar.

−Start up the system for about 20 minutes.

−Repeat air bleeding operation until system is completely

free of air bubbles.

−set the system pressure.

−Close taps (A) and (B).

9 The set pressure must ensure that the one measured at the

solar collectors is positive with respect to the ambient one

(avoid depression in the solar eld) and must be set con-

sidering both the safety valve opening pressure (6) and the

solar expansion reservoir pre-charge pressure. To set the

system pressure correctly, refer to the design manual.

0 Do not ll the system in bright, sunny conditions or if the

collectors are hot.

9 Use a manual bleed valve, which should be installed at the

highest point in the system, to ensure that all air bubbles

have been eliminated from the circuit.
