5.1.5. Heating curve The weather compensating curve is used to control the heat dissipation of the heating circuit relative to the outdoor temperature. The curve can be set either as simple, or as split that is divided by a slope change point into two parts. The simple curve can be set using one parameter.
Page 24
In this manner it is possible to carry out e.g. quick heating up after night operating hours through a steeper heating water temperature rise, or on the contrary, a quicker temperature drop during a faster transition to night operating hours. 5.1.9.

5.1.17. Thermal inertia of a building Thermal inertia of a building indicates how fast the calculated desired heating water temperature (following the heating curve) is influenced by a change in outdoor temperature. The heavier the building design, the more slowly can be the heating water temperature modified through the outdoor temperature.
5.1.21. PV contact 1 This sensor input could be used as a PV-contact of Photovoltaic-System. If the PV-Contact set in this menu is closed, the heating circuit is set to Daytime mode. For info on the operation and wiring of the PV contact please consult the technical manual of your PV system. 5.1.22.
5.3.6. Buffer DHW load The DHW heating from the thermal store is turned on at an active heat request for DHW and if the temperature at the thermal store sensor is at least 8°C higher than at the DHW sensor. The DHW heating from the thermal store is shut down if the temperature difference between the thermal store and HW storage tank is less than 4 °C or if the temperature at the DHW sensor has reached the desired value and no DHW heat request is present.
5.5.5. Tmax DF-Drain Max. temperature at the heat consumer sensor for switching off the differential thermostat function. If the temperature at the consumer sensor is higher than DF-Drain, the differential thermostat output contacts will not close. 5.6. Heat transfer The menu is available only if the heat transfer function is assigned to an output in menu 7. Special functions. The function of heat transfer between two hot water storage tanks that will switch on the output if the switch-on temperature difference between sensors 5.6.4.
5.8.3. TH Set Preset temperature to switch on an aux. heat source. The heat source will switch on when the temperature at the reference sensor (depending on the active request) drops below this value. In case of an active request, the reference sensor is the DHW sensor (5.3.8), in case of an active request for thermal store charging, the reference sensor is the thermal store (buffer) sensor (5.1.16.).
5.12.4. Starting aid This function is not used for Regulus solar collectors. For some solar thermal systems, in particular for evacuated tube collectors, the measurement recording on the collector sensors may be too slow or imprecise, because the sensor is often not on the warmest spot.
“Frost Level 2”, the controller will turn on the pump without disruption. If the collector temperature exceeds the value “Frost level 2” by 2 °C, the pump will turn off again. Energy is lost through the collector through this function! Regulus solar thermal system use antifreeze fluid only and the frost protection is off.
5.17.1. DHW request The Boiler function will be activated only when there is an active demand for DHW heating (the measured DHW temperature has dropped below the currently desired value following the set DHW temperatures and periods – see menu 5.3.). 5.17.2.
5.22.2. RL Tmax A temperature difference between the storage sensor (5.22.4.) and the heating return flow sensor (5.22.3.) to switch on (Δt on) and off (Δt off) the return flow increase function. 5.22.3. Return flow sensor The temperature sensor placed at a heating return flow – a lower temperature is expected than at the storage sensor. 5.22.4.

The speed control function permits to change the speed of the connected pumps. This menu may be unavailable in some program versions.
7.3.6. Setpoint This value is the control setpoint for speed control M 3 (see Chap. 7.3.1.) If this value undershot at the collector sensor, the speed is reduced. When it is exceeded, the speed is increased. 7.4. Pump settings V2 This menu involves settings for V2 speed control output.
Page 39
7.7.2.5. Increase If the temperature drops very fast, this value is subtracted from the measured flow temperature so that the mixer’s reaction is stronger. If the measured temperature does not drop any more, the measured value is used again. The measurement occurs once every minute. These settings are only necessary in special cases at the time of initial commissioning by the specialist.
7.7.17. Dehumidifier Dehumidifier settings are described in Chap. 5.24. 7.7.18. Parallel operation The function switches parallel to the set signal output – both the outputs switch in parallel. The function can be inverted, so the output switches contrary to the set signal output. 7.7.18.2.
7.15. Network If applicable, the network settings of the connected data logger have to be adjusted. Regulus TRS6 K controller does not feature connection to a data logger and the menu 7.15.1-7.15.3 is not needed. 7.15.1. Access Control This menu lets you give up to 4 users access to the data logger. The users that are registered then have access to the controller or respectively the data logger.

Malfunctions, Additional Info Z.1. Malfunctions with error messages If the controller detects a malfunction, the red light flashes and the warning symbol also appears in the display. If the error is no longer present, the warning symbol changes to an info symbol and the red light no longer flashes. To obtain more detailed information on the error, press the key under the warning or info (Led fashes + warning symbol.
Z.2 Replacing the Fuse Repairs and maintenance may only be performed by a specialist. Before working on the unit, switch off the power supply and secure it against being switched on again! Check for the absence of power! Only use the supplied spare fuse or a fuse of the same design with the following specifications: T2A 250V If the mains voltage is switched on and the controller still does not function or display anything, then the internal device fuse may be defective.
