8.25 Selecting heat source
The controller allows to select a single main heat source which supplies the
heating circuits. In the menu:
Boiler settings > Heat source
the following options are available: Burner-pellet, Grate-wood and Auxiliary
gas or oil burner.
8.26 GRATE - wood
It is available for boilers with wood firing option.
The controller allows grate operation with manual fuel feeding. The feeder is
disabled and the fan is enabled. Burner mode with pellet or grate mode with
wood can be selected in:
Boiler settings > Heat source
The fan runs at the following power levels:
Boiler settings > Power modulation at grate
Fan power setting in grate mode are different than in burner mode.
Grate mode parameters can be set in:
Service settings > Burner settings > Grate - wood
8.27 Operation with auxiliary feeder
The controller may control an auxiliary fuel feeder via H1 output (module A) or
H2 output (module B). When the fuel level sensor is tripped (contacts open),
the controller enables the auxiliary fuel feeder to fill the fuel storage bin for the
time set in Auxiliary fuel feeder operation time. The parameter can be set in:
Service settings > H output > H1/H2 output configuration
> Auxiliary feeder
If Auxiliary feeder operation time is set to zero, auxiliary feeder is disabled.
8.28 Oxygen sensor calibration
If the controller is fitted with an oxygen sensor, periodical calibration of the
oxygen sensor may be required. Shutdown the boiler to calibrate the oxygen
sensor. The oxygen sensor can be calibrated in shutdown mode only. The furnace
must be completely shut down. To start calibration, select:
Boiler settings > Oxygen sensor calibration
Calibration takes approx. 8 minutes.
8.29 Favourites menu
The following icon
is displayed at the bottom bar.
Press to display quick access menu. Press and hold menu icon to add items to
the menu. Press and hold Favourites menu icon to remove item from the menu
and confirm.
8.30 Operation with room temperature controller
The controllers are compatible with ecoSTER TOUCH room temperature
controller with room thermostat function. The room temperature controller
provides useful information: fuel level, alarms etc.
8.31 Operation with room thermostat
The controller is compatible with the room thermostat with NO/NC contacts.
Contacts open indicate that the room temperature has been reached.
Leader in pellet boilers
8.32 Operation with internet module
The controller is compatible with ecoNET300 internet module.
The module allows on-line operation of the controller via Wi-Fi or LAN through a
website in the internet browser window or through a mobile app.
9. Alarm description
9.1 Maximum boiler temperature exceeded
At first, the controller attempts to reduce the boiler temperature by transferring
the heat to DHW storage tank and by opening the mixing valve actuators, if
Mixing valve operation = CH enabled. If the temperature measured by DHW
sensor exceeds Max. DHW temp. DHW pump is disabled to protect users against
scalding. If the boiler temperature decreases, the controller restores normal
operation. If the temperature increases and reaches 95°C, a permanent boiler
overheating alarm with audible signal is enabled.
INSTALLING TEMPERATURE SENSOR OUTSIDE THE WATER JACKET
E.G. AT THE OUTLET PIPE MAY RESULT IN A DELAY IN BOILER
OVERHEATING DETECTION.
9.2 Burner overheating. Boiler shutdown.
The alarm is generated after the maximum burner temperature is exceeded.
The burner operation is stopped and the controller is disabled.
FLASHBACK PROTECTION IS DISABLED WITHOUT
THE CONTROLLER POWER SUPPLY.
CONTROLLER CANNOT BE USED AS A SOLE FLASHBACK
PROTECTION. USE ADDITIONAL PROTECTION DEVICES.
9.3 Feeder control failure
The controller provides an additional protection against continuous fuel feeding,
which indicates failure of an electrical system controlling the fuel feeder.
If alarm is displayed, stop the boiler and repair the controller immediately.
However, operation may be continued in the emergency mode. Before
continuing, check if the combustion chamber is not filled with unburned fuel.
Remove excessive fuel. Startup with excessive fuel may result in the explosion
of inflammable gases!
