Presetting of the Channels

How to Program the Channels?

With key “1” from the Basic-Menu you select the Universal channels.

First you select the according Channel-Nr 1-20.

Then you can switch the Channel on and off (enable / disable)

Next to this you see the actual Status of the Channel Output (on or off)
In here the Alarm-Zones can be defined with

121 = Group 1 released ....

140 = Group 20 released

142 = all group <2 released ......

160 = all group <20 released

See below for more information.

Channel should work one by one subsequently

The channels (max. 5) can work one by one in cycles, for example to have the load (washing machine, dishwasher etc) not all at the same time.
11 = on if pulse 1 active. Time Pulse 1 = Delay off of the channel

12 = on if pulse 2 active. Time Pulse 2 = Delay off of the channel

....

15 = on if pulse 5 active. Time Pulse 5 = Delay off of the channel

Typ: With Type you define whether it is a

0: Battery-voltage Unit V

1: Temperature-Control, Unit °C

2: Level-Control or Dosing, Unit %

3: Current-Control (A)

4: no Unit

5-9: Reserve
20-29 = Interlock

Like type 0-9 however in this case the Output is only reset by the conditions. That means you can use this function for an Interlock (Reset Pump if the Level is empty)

30-39 = Impulse

Like type 0-9 however in this case after activation the Output is switched on only for a certain time (delay–on time). Thus for example a light switch can be used to switch on the light only for a certain time.

Should this work also at switching off of the Switch then you have to use another channel and check Input 2 for “active if Input = 0”.
40-49 = Load-Shedding channel

like type 0-9 however in this case it is a load shedding channel (like channel 1-5). The difference is that the Output is deactivated after the condition is fulfilled (for example Voltage < 11,0V)

50-59 = PI-Controller

Like type 0-9 however with this Type you can realize a PI-Controller with Analogue Output for 12V/24V or 110V/220V (Phase-Loop-Control)

Type 70-79: Alarm-channel

Such as type 0-9 only but as alarm-channel. That means if the channel is enabled by a analog or digital input, it is waiting for a time specified in the "delay on"-value. During this time, the alarm can be turned off by Menu 3. If this is not the case, a alarm is activated. This may be a relay or a phone call, if the channel has specified the output number "16" (Output 1 or 2).

The time how long the Alarm is active is defined by the time "delay off". Then, a delay time is started (defined in "next alarm in" in minutes) until the alarm system is active again.

You can define an alarm text for the LCD-display or for a SMS. This Text can be defined by specifying a number 41-48 at Output 1 or 2. The text can be Input by the Excel-file “channels”, Tab “Input/Output”. The text is defined at Output 17-20 corresponding to Alarm-Text 41-48.

Alarm-Zones

For to build up an alarm system different zones or groups (areas such as inside, outside) can be defined for the channels (see up). These Zones have to be Input now at the “On”-Switch in the first menu of the channels by a value of 121-140 (121-140 = zone).

This value corresponds with the value in the menu 8 parameter 31 “enabled Zone”. Then only these corresponding channels are active. Furthermore, a value can be entered from 141-160 as described above.

Input "0" at enable Zones means all Zones are off.

Input 1 means all Zones are on, activated.

For a alarm system that would be a 24-hour Alarm for critical things.

Alarm groups

121 = Group 1 released

....

140 = Group 20 released

142 = all group <2 released

......

160 = all group <20 released
Setpoint

If you press “#” again you have the next Menu for to define the Setpoint:

Display: 12.8V
First you see the Actual Value, you can not change.

Selection

It allows you to define whether the Output should be active if the Actual Value < Setpoint –Hysteresis (for example switch off Devices if the Battery is empty) or if the Actual Value > Setpoint + Hysteresis (for example switching on a device if the battery is full). Input 0 or 1 to change
SP: Here you define the Setpoint. The Unit depends from the Type in this Menu.

If you enter “0” then the Function “Analogue Sensors” is disabled and is only Time-Controlled or by Input 2

Hysteresis

Display: Hys: x.y

For the Setpoint you can define a Hysteresis for the Switch Back-Point. For example 1.0 V.

If you make a small Hysteresis the Output is switched frequently.

Comparison of two measured values ​​(temperature difference)

In this case, an analog input must be specified at Input 2 (51-65 Input for analog 1-15).

Now two measurements are compared. If the value is above the Setpoint, the output is switched.

This is interesting for a solar thermal plant for example. In this case the temperature of the tank and the solar collector must be compared.

The first temperature is the temperature of the solar collector (input 1), the second temperature of the water reservoir at input 2.

At Input 2 the Measured-value Temperature is displayed now.

Following calculation takes place:

If the panel temperature - water tank-Temperature is greater than the Setpoint, then the circulation pump is turned on.

If panel temperature - water tank is less than the target value - Hysteresis, then the circulation pump is switched off.
If ">" is entered in the comparison, then if the first measured value is more than the second measured value (at input 2) the output is activated.

In the case of the solar thermal system the first Input is the collector temperature, the second Input the tank temperature.

If "<" is entered in the comparison, then if the first Measuring is less than the second measured value (at input 2) the output is activated.
The second input can be an external set-point.
Delay on/off

If you press “#” again you have the next Menu Delay on/off:

Here you can define a Delay-on Time for to activate the Output. This is interesting if the Actual-Value is very unstable.
Here you can define a Delay-off Time in seconds for to Stop the Output delayed. This is interesting if the Actual-Value is very unstable and you want to have the Output on at least for a certain time for example for Load shedding etc.
For “Delay on” and „Delay off“ the value can be defined in seconds (Input 1-99), minutes (Input 1.01-1.99) or hours (Input 2.01-2.99). Example: 1.07 means 7 Minutes.

• 
  In case of Alarm this is the Time how long the Alarm-horn is active
  
• 
  You can also see the actual value for the Delay in here.
  
• 
  Disable this function with Value "0".
  

Timer




Note: For using the Timer-Function, you have to enter the actual Time first in Submenu 7.

You can enter the Start-Time for Output x. First you enter the hour (0-23) for Start of the Channel Output.

Then press “#” and you can input the minute you want to have the Output been started.

With the next “#” you can say how long you want to have the Output running:

If you enter “0” then the Output will be started only depending from the other conditions

If you enter a value from 1-99 then the unit is in seconds.

If you enter a value from 101-199 then the unit will be in minutes. For example value 1.02 means 2 minutes.
If you enter a value from 201-255 then the Unit will be hours. For example value 2.03 means 3 hours.
Pulses

Here you can define whether the Output should be pulsed (all minute for 20 seconds etc)

On all:

If you enter for example 10 for “all..” it means that every 10 minutes the Output is activated for the Time in “on for”

Range for “on all”

1-99 = minute

101 -124 = 1-24 hours

201-255 = 1-55 days

Example: If you want to have the Output on all ten minutes and for 30 Seconds on: You input 30 Second at “on for” and 10 (10 minutes) at “on all”;
If you do not want to have the Timer or the Pulses set the according values to “0”
Alarm in x min

If you define the Channel as a Alarm, you can Input a break-time till the next Alarm is activated.

Input/Output

If you press “#” again you have the next Menu Input/Output:

Display: Input:101 (33+44) Range: 1-204

Output:1 (35+36) Range: 1-15

Here you select the according Input:

Analogue Input 1-15

SMS-Input: Input 90 and 91

Digital Input 1-8 (Enter 101-108)

Radio-Sensor 1-4 (Enter 201-204)
In Line 2 you select the according Output (1-15) whereas

Output 1 and 8-14 is a Transistor Output (only 12/24 V)

Output 2-7 is a Relay Output (also 110/220V)

Output 15 is the Relay for charging NiCd/NimH

Output 16 activates a Telephone-call (In Menu 5 you define the Telephone number)

Output 17-20 are virtual Outputs for to be used in other Channels as Interlock etc.

Output 24 is for to generate a SMS. According Number is in Menu 5

Output 25 is for to start the generator

In ( ) you see the Terminals where you have to connect your wires for 12V/24V. For 110V/220V you have to look the wiring plan.
Next Menu: Input 2

Here you can select an additional Input as another Start-Condition

Display: In2:1/101 (33+44); (33+44 = Terminal-Number)
Range:

Interlock by Digital Output: 1-20

Another Analogue Input: 51-66 (for to make a Difference-Measuring of two Analog Inputs)

SMS-Input: Input 90 and 91

Activation by a Digital Input 1-8: Enter 101-108

Activation by Radio-Sensors 1-4: Enter 201-204

If you have two Digital Sensors (two Level-Sensors) you can select the according Digital Input (101-108) or Radio-Sensor (201-204) in here.
For example for a Level-Control: Input 1 switches the Output on, Input 2 switches it off.

The actual Status for the Input 2 is displayed after “:” (1 in this example).

Input 2 can also be a Interlock or Enable-Signal by an Output from another channel. In this way you can combine different channels.
Select 1-20 for the according Output (17-20 are virtual Outputs, no Hardware for that).

Example 1: no Irrigation if Rain-Sensor of Channel 6 is more than xy and Humidity of channel 1 is more than 50 %.

For that you select in Menu 1 Channel 6 (Channel for the Rain-Sensor) as Output Nr 17.

In Menu 1 Channel 1 (Humid-Channel) you select this Output 16 as Input 2 (additional Start-condition).

Example 2: If you want to have a Dosing-Channel you can define here which other Output (Irrigation-Output) must be on during Dosing.
Input 2 can also be a second Analogue Input. In this way you can compare two Analog-Values and the Setpoint will be replaced by the external Analog-Value.

Example: Activate if Temperature-Difference is more than 15 °C
Input 2 can also be a Interlock or Enable-Signal by a Input. (no Irrigation if Level min). Select 101-108 for the according Digital Input or 201-204 for Radio-Sensors.
If you want to use only Input 2, Set Input 1 to "0"
With this Settings you can have the following Options:

Input 1 < 100 and Input 2 = 0: Analogue Switch

Input 1 > 100 and Input 2 = 0: Digital Switch with one Sensor

Input 1 > 100 and Input 2 > 100 : Digital Switch with 2 Sensors

Input 1 < 100 and Input 2 < 100: Analogue Switch with Enable by Channel 1-15

Input 1 < 100 and Input 2 > 100: Analogue Switch with Enable by Digital Input 1-8 (101-108)

In ( ) you see the Terminals where you have to connect your wires.
Display: Input ok = 0/1?

Here you can define whether the Channel should be active (Output = 1) if Sensor Input = 1 or if the Sensor Input = 0. This depends from the Type of Sensor or if you want to have an Interlock or Enable-Function by Input 2.

Output 2:
Here you can define a second Output. Could be also a virtual Output for Interlocking with other Modules. In this way you can realize a interconnection of the different modules.
