The control unit consists of the controller, the power unit and the sensor module.
The sensor module measures the current flow directly at the energy meter. If the power is high enough,
the PV current can be used for electrically heating the water in the store. By means of the power unit the
controller controls the 3 power stages in the electrothermal station for store heating.
In order to compensate for thermal losses, an internally calculated switch-on power has to be excee-
ded. An additional supply reserve will prevent using power from the mains because of system-depen-
dent tolerances (see Status / Controller on page 65).
The pump speed is adapted so that the target temperature at S1 is reached for store loading in
layers. If the maximum store temperature (S2) is reached, loading stops.
Optionally, different optional functions can be activated, see page 54.
Common operation with a battery is possible, but correct functioning cannot be guaranteed in all
cases. PV current is used with the following priorities:
1. Direct consumption
2. Battery loading
3. Loading of a hot water store
4. Current feed-in
For this purpose, the sensor modules and the battery have to be arranged as shown in the illus-
tration. The current sensor

controller and the loads controlled by the controller.
The SR off function allows remote access to the controller, e.g in order to switch it off when the
battery is in use.
