NOTICE

NOTICE

ROLLER’S Solar-Control is not intended/suitable for permanent connection to 

the installation. Disconnect all hoses from the installation after completing the 

work. ROLLER’S Solar-Control may not be operated unattended.

2.1.  Electrical connection

WARNING

WARNING

Caution: Mains voltage present! Before connecting the electrical fi lling and 

fl ushing unit, check whether the voltage given on the rating plate corresponds 

to the mains voltage. Only connect electrical devices of protection class I to a 

socket/extension lead with a functioning protective contact. On building sites, 

in a wet environment, indoors and outdoors or under similar installation condi-

tions, only operate the electrical device on the mains with a fault current 

tions, only operate the electr

tions, only operate the electr

protection switch (RCD) which interrupts the power supply as soon as the 

leakage current to earth exceeds 30 mA for 200 ms.

2.2.  Connecting the electrical fi lling and fl ushing unit to the solar system 

Connect one of the two fabric hoses to the pressure line connection (1). Connect 

the 2nd fabric hose to the return line connection (2) of the plastic tank (3). 

Connect the respective free end of the pressure or return line to the ball valves 

of the solar system and open the ball valves. Close the connecting valve between 

the two ball valves of the solar system. Fill the plastic tank (3) with transported 

medium and open the ball valve (4). Plug the mains plug of the electrical fi lling 

and fl ushing unit into the socket with a protective earth.

CAUTION

CAUTION   

Danger of injury due to escaping transported medium. Tighten the hose 

screw connections and check for leaks regularly.

2.3.  Screw cover with return line connection ¾" and fi ne fi lter bag 70 μm 

(accessory art. no. 115220, Fig. 3)

Remove the screw cover (6). Replace the inner plate of the screw cover (6) by 

an adapter (10). Screw the screw cover (6) with adapter to the plastic tank. 

Insert the fi ne fi lter into the opening in the adapter, screw the screw cover with 

¾" return line connection to the adapter, screw the return line to the return line 

connection, close the return pipe (2) connection.

2.4.  Fine fi lter unit with large dirt collection vessel (accessory art. no. 115323, 

Fig. 4)

Fasten the fi ne fi lter unit to the return line connection (2), connect the return 

line to the fi ne fi lter unit.

2.5.  Changeover valve for alternative suction of the transport medium from 

another tank (accessory art. no. 115325, Fig. 5)

Unscrew the line from the plastic tank (3) to the pump at the ball valve (4) and 

screw on the changeover valve for alternative suction of the transport medium 

at the ball valve (4). Connect one outlet of the T-piece to the pump line, connect 

a line to another tank to the other outlet of the T-piece. Control the fl ow direction 

with the valve handle.

2.6.  Flow direction changeover valve (accessory art. no. 115326, Fig. 6)

The fl ow direction changeover valve serves for clearing deposits/sludge in solar 

stations and underfl oor heating. Screw the fl ow direction changeover valve with 

connection (P) to the pressure line connection (1). Connect connection (R) of 

the fl ow direction changeover valve and the return line connection (2) with the 

enclosed ½" T100 EPDM fabric hose. The two "solar station" connections on 

the fl ow direction changeover valve are connected to the outlets on the solar 

station with the two ½" fabric hoses belonging to the ROLLER’S Solar-Control. 

The pressure line and return line to and from the solar station are switched by 

turning the lever on the fl ow direction changeover valve with the pump running.

Deposits/sludge are loosened by the generated pressure pulses.

3. Operation

NOTICE

NOTICE

ROLLER’S Solar-Control is not intended/suitable for permanent connection to 

the installation. Disconnect all hoses from the installation after completing the 

work. ROLLER’S Solar-Control may not be operated unattended.

Do not switch the Solar-Control K 60 pump on until it is fi lled completely with 

liquid. Do not allow the pump to run dry! Procedure for fi lling the Solar-Control 

K 60: The plastic tank (3) must be fi lled with liquid. The pressure line (1) and 

return line (2) must be connected. Open the ball valve (4). Open the bleed 

screw (9). Close the bleed screw (9) as soon as liquid emerges.

The pump of the Solar-Control I 80 also sucks dry.

Switch the pump on at the On / Off switch (5). Open and remove the screw 

cover (6) on the plastic tank (3) so that the air can escape from the system. 

Observe the liquid level in the plastic tank and, if necessary, refi ll with transported 

medium so that no air enters the solar circuit. Flush the solar circuit with the 

transported medium. At the inspection glass of the fi ne fi lter (7) or by looking 

into the large opening of the plastic tank (6), check whether there are still air 

bubbles in the transported medium. Continue the fl ushing process until there 

is no more air in the transported medium. 

Do not close the pressure and return lines of both pumps for longer than 60 s 

because the pumps otherwise run hot and will be damaged. 

Switch off the pump (5) after the end of the fi lling and fl ushing process. Close 

the ball valves on the solar system, open the conneting valve between the two 

ball valves of the solar system. Close the ball valve (4). On the ROLLER’S 

Solar-Control I 80, reduce the pressure in the pressure line by opening the 

pressure relief valve (8). On the ROLLER’S Solar-Control K60, reduce the 

pressure in the pressure line by slightly unscrewing the inspection glass on the 

fi ne fi lter (7). The pressure relief valve (8) is available as an accessory for the 

ROLLER’S Solar-Control K 60.
