7. Special functions

Menu “7. Special functions” is used to set 
basic items and expanded functions.

The menu is closed by pressing “esc” or 
selecting “Exit special functions”.

7.1 Program 

selections 

The suitable hydraulic variant for the specifi c application is selected and set here (see 
section D: Hydraulic variants). The associated diagram can be displayed by pressing 
“info”.

Setting range: 1-5 / default value: 1

Caution

7.2  Time and Date

This menu is used to set the current time and date.

Caution

Normally the program selection is made only once during initial
commissioning by the specialist. Incorrect program selection can lead to 
unpredictable errors.

For analysis of the system data it is essential for the time to be set ac-
curately on the controller. Please note that the clock does not continue 
to run if the mains voltage is interrupted, and must therefore be reset.

Caution

7.3 Sensor 

calibration

Deviations in the temperature values displayed, for example due to cables which are to 
long or sensors which are not positioned optimally, can be compensated for manually 
here. The settings can be made for each individual sensor in steps of 0.5°C.

Offset S1...S3 per setting range: -10°C...+10°C Default: 0°C 

Caution

Settings are only necessary in special cases at the time of initial
commissioning by the specialist. Incorrect measurement values
can lead to unpredictable errors.

Other than the time all settings 
may only be made by a specialist.
