Only the utility water circuit’s circulation pump will operate. (Summer mode)

Only the building heating circuit’s circulation pump will operate. (Utility water is not necessary or not available in the boiler system)

Weather Compensation

Your boiler is able to adjust the temperature setpoint according to the weather temperature.

To setup the weather compensation, first navigate to temperature range with navigation keys and select the temperature range with

adjust keys. After selecting the temperature range, navigate to

Correction value and set the offset temperature of your boiler for this temperature range. To adjust another temperature range, navigate back to temperature range with

navigation keys and select the range that you want. After all settings have been completed, navigate to <Return and press Input key to return to the User Preferences Menu.

There are eleven temperature ranges for adjusting.

If the compensated temperature setpoint exceeds the temperature limits of the boiler, controller will increase or decrease the setpoint in between minimum and maximum temperature limits.

Day-Night Compensation

Your boiler is olso able to adjust the temperature setpoint according to different time slices in a day.

To setup the day-night compensation, first navigate to time slice with

navigation keys and select the time slice with adjust keys.

After selecting the time slice, navigate to Correction value and set the offset temperature of your boiler for this time slice. To adjust another time slice, navigate back to time slice with navigation keys and select the time slice that you want. After all settings have been completed, navigate to <Return and press Input key to return to the User Preferences Menu.

There are eight time slices to adjust.

00:00 – 02:59

Date-Time

The controller panel has a realtime clock calendar.

To adjust the system time and date, navigate to hour, minute, date, month, year or day of week with

navigation keys. Press adjust keys to change. Controller accepts 24-hour hh:mm time format and dd/mm/yyyy date format.

Incorrect date setting may halt the clock (i.e. 30/02/2011).

The realtime clock has a backup battery at the back side of the control panel. If your boiler resets the date-time settings after AC mains power loss, replace the backup battery. The backup battery is

CR2032 type lithium battery. Please insert the battery with correct polarity. The overal life of backup battery is about two years.

The chemistry of the battery may be harmful to the environment. Please dispose the old battery properly according to the instructions on the battery’s package.

Week Timer

The week timer allows you to set three programs for each day of the week to turn on or turn off your boiler.

To set up the week timer, first select the desired day with adjust keys than navigate to ON/OFF with navigation keys. If you select

OFF, all of three programs will be ignored by the controller for that day.

Select the start-up and stop times adjust the hour and minute with

<Return with

Internet Connectivity

The controller has an onboard Ethernet port to directly connect to the Internet or your local area network.

The LAN connector of the boiler is depends on the boiler model. Please refer to the instruction manual of your boiler fort he location of the LAN connector.

Use a straight patched network cable for connecting your boiler to your DSL modem, router or computer.

The default IP address of your boiler is 192.168.1.127. If you have changed the IP address or enabled the DHCP service, you may learn the controllers IP address from Service>Network Status menu.

To connect the control panel, your computer or device which has internet connectivity must be in the same subnet.

Open your Internet browser software and type the IP address of your boiler.

If the network connection is OK, you should see the login window. The username of the boiler is

(PID [Graph1], 5STEP [Graph2] or fixed power [Graph3])

The power regulation to reduce the power of the boiler.

Eg. : The boiler temp. 50 C

Mod.Delta : 10 C

Boiler begins to slow down when it is reached to 40 C.

The temperature overlimit.

E.g :

The temp.of the boiler is : 50 C

If the hysteresis is set 2 C. the boiler operates between

50-51 C. If it exceeds the 51 C

,it deflates the flame.

The fuel consumption to reach the capacity :

E.g : If the feed period is set 15 it feeds 5 gr in every 15 sec.

If the feed period is set 20 it feeds 7 gr.

If the feed period is set 25.

It feeds 9 gr.fuel in every 25 sec

Tuning the PID modulation:

- If your boiler never reaches the setpoint, Increase the Mod1 Power level.

- If your boiler exceeds the setpoint more than the hysteresis value, Decrease the Mod1

Power Level.

- If your heating circuit(s) power demand is too low for the boiler (for example only utility water heating in summer) you may decrease the Mod5 Power level to avoid overshoot the temperature setpoint.
