Outlined functions

Start-up wizard

The SGC controller is equipped with a start-up wizard, which takes you through the initial setup of the controller in 2 steps.

Step 1: language selection.
Step 2: hydraulic scheme selection.

Measurement of the energy obtained

When the solar system is also used for domestic hot water heating, we want to know how much heating energy has been obtained from the solar system. The SGC controllers provide an informative and accurate measurement of the solar energy obtained and the display of the data in weekly, monthly and yearly diagrams.

For informative measurements of the solar energy obtained, the maximum reading of the medium flow from the mechanical meter must be entered in the controller setup.
For accurate measurements of the solar energy obtained, a flow meter with a pulse generator or a Vortex flow meter (VFS) must be installed in the solar system.

Connection of an energy-saving circulation pump with external controlled signal

The SGC controller features the speed control of energy-saving circulation pumps with external controlled PWM signal or 0÷10 V. This type of speed control is possible with R2 and R3 relay outputs. All SGC controllers feature the R2 relay output, while the SGC36HV and SGC67HV controllers feature the R3 relay output.

KXD Remote control with the help of SeltronHome system

The SGC controllers may be connected to the SeltronHome platform, which provides the heating remote control using a smartphone or tablet. Remote control is enabled through the CLAUSIUS application for the end user and the KELVIN app for service technicians. With the application you can, for example, switch on one-time domestic hot water heating process outside of a time programme.

Typical hydraulic scheme

Solar collectors, domestic hot water storage tank, solid fuel boiler, auxiliary heating with electricity.

Example: hydraulic scheme 231d.
