Introduction
The following instruction manual was written for all users who will connect, install, operate and conduct routine
maintenance of Multifun control system regulators. The instruction manual includes descriptions of installation,
wiring, functions and operating procedures. It should be kept near the workplace area while operating the
regulator. The information contained therein must be always followed.
Warning
Should any fault occur or accessories are missing, please contact your local dealer or sales office at RECALART ELECTRONIC. MULTIFUN CONTROL SYSTEM regulators are designed for mounting in control cabinets or similar installations in a way that prevents their contact with electrical cable thimbles. Do not remove the regulator from the housing. Your hand or other conductive body must not be found in the housing. This could result in a serious injury or death due to electrical shock. To avoid damage to the connected equipment or the MULTIFUN CONTROL SYSTEM regulators, prior to using the device take any safety measures necessary, such as installing a fuse, overheat protection device, etc. Should an accident caused by using the product without observing these safety measures occur, the warranty will be void. The power switch in the external circuit of the regulator turns off power. The switch needs to be installed on the device in a position that allows for ease of use. There should be a message that the switch turns off power. Use a switch which meets IEC947 standards. The device does not have a built-in fuse therefore a fuse must be installed in the power circuit when connected to a phase terminal. The fuse should be placed between the power switch and the device and mounted on the "L" side of the phase terminal. Fuse rated values/characteristics: 250 VAC 6.3A quick. Use only a fuse complying with IEC 127 standards. Voltage/current values of load to connect to the output terminal and the alarm terminal should be placed within the range of the rated values. Otherwise, the temperature will increase and reduce the regulator's life causing problems in the operation of the device. Voltage/current other than specified in the input specifications should not be attached to the input terminal. This may shorten the instrument's life and cause operation problems. For the voltage or current input, the input terminal should be connected to a device that meets IEC1010 requirements. The device may have vent holes to carry off heat. Metal elements or other that can damage the device or cause fire must not get inside the holes. The vent hole must not be blocked nor contaminated. A temperature increase or insulation failure may shorten the instrument's life or damage it. Moreover, these situations may be a direct cause of a fire. Information about spaces that separate the regulators in the control cabinet in are described in chapter en. "Internal dimensions and a panel cut-out" of the service documentation.
6
It should be noted that repeated tolerance tests for voltage, disturbance, surge, etc., may deteriorate the instrument's operation. Changes made to the device or its improper use is prohibited.
INSTALLATION
The regulator should not be used in the following places: • In environments including flammable gas, corrosive gas, oil mist or particles that can deteriorate the electrical insulation. • In an atmosphere at a temperature below 0°C or above 55°C and relative humidity above 90%RH or below the dew point. • In an environment with high vibration or shock levels. • In locations exposed to high electromagnetic interference. • In areas exposed to direct sunlight. • In an environment at a height of over 2000 meters above sea level • Outdoors. The aforementioned places can cause malfunctions, fire or damage to the device.

Description of the device
The Multifun control system regulator is a modern multiprocessor control system for heating
devices. The basic version of the system consists of a control panel and a main run-time
module. These devices are connected via a LAN cable and an RJ45 type connector. Additional
modules can also be connected using this cable. Data transfer is carried out in RS485
standard. A modified MODBUS protocol ensures a correct data exchange.
The main run-time module
For the basic operation of the device, boiler sensors need to be connected to the run-
time module without which the boiler will not work properly:
• Boiler feed temperature sensor [BOILER FEED]
• Feeder temperature sensor [FEEDER]
• Flame sensor [PHOTODETECTOR]
To successfully run other functions of the controller, appropriate sensors must be connected
to the run-time module:
• Fan hall generator* - recommended when using a fan with a revolution number sensor.
• Hot water temperature sensor [HW] - when water heating.
• Central Heating temperature sensor [CH] - to control the mixing valve
• Return temperature sensor of the heating medium [Boiler Return] - protection against cold
water returning to the boiler. The sensor is necessary to work with the mixing valve or the
circulating pump
• External temperature sensor [External] - required if the weather function is active
• Room 1 temperature sensor [Room1] -

The history of the installation operation is updated every 1 minute. The maximum history memory capacity is 10
days. By using the menu visible on the right-hand side of the screen, it is possible to hide unnecessary charts.
This increases legibility of information on the screen. After selecting the data range, the controller calculates the
average value for the data. It is possible to compare two different time periods (e.g. boiler room operation on a
Monday and on a Tuesday) to analyze the influence of control settings on fuel consumption. The controller
shows total fuel consumption in a given period and average burning per hour. Moreover, data (work history)
can be saved to an SD card and analyzed on a PC.
SUMMER/WINTER modes
Select the operating mode. This option chooses the operating mode though it is possible to choose the AUTO
mode (more on SUMMER/WINTER/AUTO).
Manual mode
The manual control mode is used to check devices and sensors connected to the regulator.
Manual control
This allows forcing operation of particular devices. The knob is used to select a device. The operation state of a device is made by pressing the knob. The knob can be also used to set fan power. The v31.09 software version (and higher) include information about the number of revolutions per minute if the
Hall generator is working and connected. This information is shown on the rpm symbol. Sample screens:

Fuel selection
The WOOD option is recommended only for boilers with an additional grate when burning wood. In this option,
the burner does not work. Only the fan is used which works in a comparable manner to wood-fired boilers. The
PELLET option activates all the functions of the regulator and the burner.
Type of work
Select the type of operation: Burning-feeding or Burning-stopping. For full automatic operation of the burner,
we recommend setting the burning-stopping option.
Burning-stopping enables fully automatic operation of the burner which is turned on and off by the regulator
according to the actual heat demand. This type of operation is recommended in the summer. In the WINTER
mode, adjust the FLAME FEEDING TIME parameter to limit the number of burner turn-ons. In the menu (flame
feeding mode) set the time for which the regulator is in feeding mode (after reaching a desired temperature
value) waiting for the boiler to cool off. If this does not happen, the regulator will automatically turn on the
stopping function. This option will reduce electricity consumption due to a lower number of ignition-operation-
stopping cycles. When the boiler has a lower temperature than it is required, the self-ignition function will be
turned on automatically.
Note: Setting the FLAME FEEDING TIME to zero will immediately stop the burner after heating the boiler to the
set temperature.
The feeding function operation is recommended in the winter period. For this setting, the burner does
not stop automatically (this can be done manually by selecting the STOPPING option in SYMBOLS). If the flame
turns off, the controller reports an error and stops the burner control. To resume the operation, manually select
the TURN ON option in SYMBOLS. Therefore, this is a type of semi-automatic operation.
PID
PID activation is smoother operation of the burner that gradually adjusts the burner output with an accuracy of
1%. During winter, this significantly increases the operating time of the burner after a single ignition.
Note: when the PID option is enabled, the regulator has more options in the menu - Advanced/burner/burning.
It is also required to set the parameters for three burner output levels, i.e. one level higher than when working
with the PID option off.
For the PID off, it is easier to set the burner because the parameters for the minimum and maximum burner
output are to be set. The regulator for the boiler temperature lower than the value of 1/2 hysteresis operates at
maximum output and after exceeding it (1/2 hysteresis) - at minimum output. When the boiler temperature is
exceeded by more than the set hysteresis x 2, the burner will be turned off.
Hysteresis
The parameter is of importance only for operation with the PID option turned on.
23
ECO mode
The ECO mode is recommended during summer. In this option, the burner is turned off when the boiler is heated
up and the boiler temperature can decrease to any value (the anti-freeze function is still active). For the ECO
mode turned off, the regulator always tries to maintain a minimum temperature in the boiler. Therefore, the
burner may be turned on only to heat up the boiler, although in a given moment, none of the circuits will need
heating up (for example, the dispenser is heated up and the CH circuit does not need heat - night decrease).
Burner
Turning on
Fan operation prior to starting the turn-on process. The blowthrough aims at cleaning the furnace chamber of
any flammable gas to safely turn on the boiler.
The time for which the feeder is to be turned on when feeding the first portion of fuel.
Heater operation time prior to turning on the fan.
Note: depending on the heater model, set the time specified by the manufacturer. For some models, it is
required to set 0 sec., because the heater operation without cooling it with air may damage it.
Fan output during boiler turn-on. This parameter should be set depending on the type of fuel and chimney
draught.
A too long operation time may damage the heater. Set the heater operation time according to documentation.
After the maximum heater operation time passes, the regulator will turns off the heater and go to the next step
of the turn-on procedure. The heater will be turned off earlier when the light sensor detects a flame in the
burner.
This parameter specifies the flame brightness in the burner the regulator of which acknowledges that pellet is
burning. During the turn-on process, the heater is turned off and the full turn-on stage takes place. During
burning, the regulator controls the flame brightness. When it remains lower than the set threshold, an
emergency stop of the burning process is activated and the burner is turned off.
If, during the ignition procedure, the regulator does not detect a flame after the set time, the ignition process
will start again. After the second failed attempt, the regulator will trigger an emergency stop of the burner. If
the ignition process goes smoothly and the fuel is ignited, the regulator will gradually enhance the airflow
during the whole full ignition time. Please note that the burner has only a starting portion of fuel and the time

must be set to completely ignite this amount of fuel. A too long ignition time will burn the whole amount of fuel
and the flame will go out.
Burning
During the burning phase, the burner can be operated in two modes: with a variable output regulation called
PID control, and two-stage control (PID disabled). In the first option, it is possible to overheat the boiler by 8 C,
especially when the installation is chilled. However, after heating the installation, the burner operation
parameters will adjust to the amount of heat received and the temperature change in the boiler should be
gradually reduced. In this operation mode, the controller tries to match the burner output to heat demand by
changing the burner output with an accuracy of 1%. The burner operates in very long cycles and in a properly
made installation it can operate without being turned off, changing the output according to heat demand.
In the burning mode with the two-stage control, the burner works at maximum output until the set temperature
of the boiler is exceeded by 1/2 hysteresis of the burner. Then, it is switched to minimum output. During winter,
such activity should decrease the temperature in the boiler and switch the burner back to maximum output.
Where there is insufficient take-off and the temperature in the boiler increases, even when the burner operates
at minimum output, it will be switched to the feeding mode when the boiler temperature exceeds the set
hysteresis value. The burner will be turned off if the temperature increases further. When the set temperature is
exceeded by a value of 2x hysteresis, the hysteresis will turn off the burner.
Set the parameters of the burner to values that allow for proper operation for about 20% of rated power of the
burner. The following parameters are available:
1. Feeder operation time - fuel feed time in seconds, after feeding a portion the feeder stops for a time
described below. Set only the feeder operation parameters. The burner feeder turns on simultaneously with the
dispenser feeder, but operates for a longer period. The exact time of the feeder operation is set by the Service by
determining the elongation of the feeder operation time in %.
2. Feeder standby time - the feeder operates in the operation/standby cycle. It is recommended to use a short
feeder operation time and adjust the amount of fuel by changing the standby time.
3. Fan output - fan output should provide for an optimum amount of air required for fuel burning.
This parameter needs to be set when the PID option is turned on (see PID). The parameters are the same as in
the above item, but they must be chosen so that the burner produced about 50% of rated power.
Note: If the PID is turned off, the AVERAGE OUTPUT option will be displayed in the menu.
The set of parameters are the same as for MINIMUM OUTPUT. However, they should produce 100% of rated
power.
Minimum output
Average output
Maximum output
25
The "Output selection" menu is available only for the PID option enabled (see PID). This parameter helps to set
the burner operation parameters for each output (minimum, average and maximum). It is possible to choose a
particular burner output by selecting one of the following options:
• Minimum output
• Average output
• Maximum output
The burner operates at the selected output until the boiler heats up to the set temperature. At this time, it is
recommended to control the burning parameters described above (see Minimum output). After making the
adjustments, set the AUTO option or disable the PID operation (see PID).
Feeding
Burning feeding consists in burner operation at minimum fuel consumption. Its aim is to feed heat and quickly
enter the burning phase without following the burner turn-on and turn-off procedures. It allows reducing
electric energy consumption of the burner (no heater) and quickly raising the temperature in the boiler. Using
this function is recommended in the WINTER mode. The following is a discussion of the available parameters.
These parameters define burner operation in a comparable manner to operation in a normal burning phase.
However, the parameter settings in FEEDING should generate a minimum burner output and not lead to burner
turn off.
Feeding portions should be much smaller than the minimum output settings. Parameter settings must be made
after heating the boiler and an additional reduction of preset boiler temperature for the control time. This way,
the burner adjustment time can be prolonged.
Attention should be paid to stable operation of the fan. It may happen that when the output is low, the fan
stops which can lead to its damage. On the other hand, high airflow will burn the fuel too fast.
After reaching the desired temperature, the regulator always goes to the burning feed phase. It is not important
whether the burner has the PID parameter turned on or not (the turn-off point varies depending on the PID
setting - see Burning). However, immediate stopping can be triggered on the burner by setting the parameter
value to 0. If a different value is set, the regulator feeds the burning process by waiting for the temperature to
drop to continue the process. If the temperature does not drop for the set time, the stopping function will be
turned on (description below).
Stopping
The stopping process can be activated manually (SYMBOLS menu) or triggered automatically. In the first
stopping phase, the dispenser feeder is blocked. The burner fuel is burned the same way as in the burning phase
until the flame brightness decreases below a set value (see Flame Brightness). From this moment, the regulator
launches the final stopping the time of which is set using the "fuel burning time" parameter. At this time, the

fan changes the output to the value fixed in the "Stopping" submenu. After the set time runs out, the fan
switches on the maximum output for 1 minute and cleanses the burner of ashes.
Set an appropriately long time to burn up the heat in the burner.
During the stopping process, the airflow should be small so as not to throw the burned pellet to the ash bin.
CH circuit
The CH circuit submenu is adjusted to an option – circuit control – selected by the installer.
CH pump1
Note: The CH pump will be turned on in the anti-freeze mode when the external temperature is lower than -2°
and the boiler temperature drops below 10°
This parameter determines the CH pump operation in a simple system, i.e. in a system without a mixing valve
with an actuator. If the Service enables the mixing valve operation mode (SERVICE menu), the pump will operate
in a continuous manner in the winter mode - the settings of the parameter discussed further are irrelevant. The
available options are:
1. 100% block - a signal from the room thermostat blocks the pump - the pump is not operating
2. Modulated operation - a signal from the room thermostat activates the intermittent operation (discussed
further)
3. 0 % block - the room thermostat has no influence on the operation of the CH pump. This setting is
recommended if the installation is extensive and the modulated operation of the pump cannot heat distant
radiators.
The aim of modulated operation of the CH pump is to lower radiator temperature based on information from
the room thermostat. Measuring input short-circuit of the room is a signal for the regulator to use one of the
three operation modes of the CH pump. The discussed parameter has influence on the operation of the pump in
the "Modulated operation" mode. This parameter determines the pump operation time (fixed from 1 minute up
to 60 minutes). After the operation time runs out, the regulator blocks the pump for the entire standby time -
see the description below.
After the operation time, the pump stops for a set time. The setting range is from 10 up to 60 minutes.

external sensor

27
Heating temperature decrease
Heating temperature decrease is a parameter that is set according to a selected "circuit control" option (set by the Service). For manual control, the temperature decrease of the heating system is set in %. The temperature decrease is set in the CH Program option (see description below). For installations equipped with a room thermostat (no weather sensor), the measuring input short-circuit of the room sensor is a signal to the controller to lower the heating temperature by a set % value. For installations with a mixing valve, the valve will be closed and the temperature of the boiler will be decreased. For installations with an external sensor (the "circuit control" option needs to be set by the Service), the decrease is set in °C. The set value should apply to room temperature reduction. The controller will convert it to a heating temperature decrease value taking into account the current external temperature and the set weather characteristics. NOTE: 1. PELLET fuel set. If the boiler temperature decrease is high, the regulator can stop the boiler. For a several-degree decrease (especially for the PID option enabled - see: Advanced/boiler/PID), the regulator will reduce power output without stopping it. 2. WOOD fuel set. The boiler temperature will not be reduced below the minimum boiler temperature allowed by the manufacturer that is set in service parameters. Due to the risk of corrosion (a phenomenon of dew presence in the burning chamber), the controller maintains a minimum temperature in the boiler (see the minimum temperature parameter).
SUMMER/WINTER/AUTO2modes
This parameter is used to manually switch the regulator into the SUMMER or WINTER mode. Moreover, the
AUTO mode can be chosen - the controller will automatically switch into the WINTER or SUMMER mode based
on the outside temperature.
In the summer mode only Hot Water is operated. In the WINTER mode, the controller controls the entire heating
(CH + HW).
Weather characteristics3
If the Service sets an option that uses the external sensor, the menu will display a possibility to set weather
characteristics. The regulator has 13 ready-made characteristics to choose from. They were prepared for
buildings with different thermal isolation and different heating systems. When choosing the right option for a
specific building, attention should be firstly paid to the heating type. For underfloor heating, characteristics in
the range of 1-4 should be chosen, for radiator heating, 4-13. Then, insulation quality should be assessed. The
worse the thermal insulation of the building, the higher the number of characteristics should be. The best
solution is to select the average value. For underfloor heating it is good to set number 3, for radiator heating -
number 7.
The full range of characteristics offered by MULTIFUN is presented further.
2 The AUTO operation mode is possible only for configurations with the external sensor. For simple options, the
AUTO mode is not displayed. See „circuit control”. 3 The parameter is visible only after setting the operation configuration with the external sensor in the „Circuit
control” (two configurations are available)
28
Note: A change in the room temperature (Temperatures/Heating temperature menu) has influence on the
weather characteristics that adapts to new requirements.
Room sensor - adjustment4
The controller will automatically correct the heating temperature after detecting differences between the room
temperature set value and the sensor reading. The adjustment allows increasing the influence of the sensor on
the CH temperature changes (values greater than zero) or decreasing it (negative values). For underfloor
heating, it is recommended to set the value of 60%.
Room sensor - calibration5
Due to cable length and sensor execution precision, the temperature indication may differ from the actual
values by a few degrees. Using the knob allows setting the correct value by carrying out sensor calibration. The
corrected value is displayed in the upper right corner of the display.
AUTO temperature - SUMMER/WINTER
This parameter is used only when the Service turns on the operation with the external sensor. Moreover, the
user must select the AUTO MODE (menu - Advanced/CH circuit/Summer/Winter/AUTO mode). When the
external temperature exceeds the set value, the regulator switches to the SUMMER MODE. When the
temperature drops - it switches to the WINTER MODE. (See the above description - SUMMER/WINTER MODE).
CH program6
The CH program operates on a similar basis as the HW described below (see The weekly CH program). The time
interval marked with a black rectangular means heating operation with the set temperature. During the
remaining time, the regulator will reduce the temperature according to the Heating temperature decrease
setting. 4
5 This option is available only for the „circuit control” setting on the position: ROOM TIME +EXTERNAL TIME
6 This option is available only for the „circuit control” setting on the position: MANUAL and ROOM TIME
+EXTERNAL TIME
29
HW CIRCUIT
HW temperature
Setting the HW dispenser temperature is possible in the range from 15 up to 60 C. Moreover, this parameter is accessed from the level of TEMEPRATURES menu and ADVANCED/HW circuit. When the dispenser temperature is lower than the set value by HW hysteresis, the regulator will initiate the dispenser load process. When the temperature is higher than the set temperature plus HW hysteresis, the loading process is completed. Note: 1. Dispenser loading consists in starting the HW pump. The pump will be turned on when the boiler temperature is higher than the so-called "minimum boiler temperature" set by the Service. 2. In the summer mode, the HW pump is turned off with a delay in the range from 3 up to 10 minutes (set by the Service) after finishing the dispenser loading process (see the description of HW hysteresis).
HW hysteresis
A smaller value means a precisely maintained dispenser temperature, but also more dispenser loading cycles
and more burner ignition cycles (especially in SUMMER). Setting a value of e.g. 20°C means that the dispenser
loading process will be turned on when the temperature drops 10C below the set CH temperature and ends
when the dispenser temperature is about 10C higher than the set value.
CH program
The regulator requires setting the CH heating program for each day of the week. The user can choose from
three default programs and two user programs. The following are the default programs:
Pr:1 5:30 AM - 7:30 AM and 3:00 PM - 9:30 PM
Pr:2 7:00 AM - 10:00 PM
Pr:3 0:00 AM - 11:59 PM
As can be seen, the CH heating program no.1 has two time periods. The first is in the morning and the second in
the afternoon. Program no. 3 is a twenty-four hour CH heating.
User programs numbered 4 and 5 can be set freely (described further in the following menu items)
Days of the week are designated with numbers from 1 to 7, where 1 is Monday, 2 - Tuesday, etc.
Each of the five daily programs can be "connected" to the appropriate day of the week, depending on user's
needs.
Weekly programming consists in choosing a daily program number (turn the knob), then proceeding to the next
day of the week (press the knob) and re-selection of the program number (turn the knob). These steps have to
be repeated until the whole week is set. To finish the process, press EXIT.
CH weekly program

Description of activities
Select the program number for a chosen day of the week. The user can choose from three default presets and
edit two programs. The black bar indicates the time to
maintain the desired temperature in the HW dispenser -
the HW pump and the circulating pump are operating.
In the remaining time (blank space) - inactive function
(the HW pump and the circulating pump are not
operating).
-change the program number with the knob
- change the day of the week, press the knob
The return button exits the function.
One of two daily user programs. This program can be used on any day of the week during the weekly HW program. The regulator allows determining the time in which the HW will be heated to an accuracy of up to 30 minutes. Any number of time periods per day can be set. This can be useful if the HW circulating pump is installed. Programming consists in setting the cursor in an appropriate place on the timeline (turn the knob), pressing the knob to activate the area selection mode to choose the area during which the HW will be heated and moving the cursor (turn the knob). The area selection mode will be deactivated after pressing the knob again and deleting the previously selected heating area. Note: It should be noted that the HW circulating pump, which is to provide hot water immediately after pressing
the tap, also cools water. The regulator activates the pump according to the settings input by the Service, but
only when the HW heating program is set. Therefore, the time can be precisely set when hot-water is used
which allows minimizing loss of fuel.
Description of activities
The black bar and the icon mean the heating is ON - the HW pump and the circulating pump are operating. In the remaining time (blank space) - disabled function, the HW pump and the circulating pump are not working, decreased temperature is maintained.
-change the time interval with the knob
- turn on the heating by pressing the knob
The return button exits the function.
Program no. 4
31
Operation and service is analogical to Program no. 4.
Legionella(ON/OFF)
Activation of this function aims at destroying Legionella (bacteria) in the HW dispenser. The process is carried
out by heating the dispenser up to 70°C and maintaining this temperature for 2 hours. This function starts
automatically every Monday at 1:00 AM.
HW priority
The active parameter disables the heating system in a building for the heat up time of the HW dispenser. In
installations with no mixing valve with an actuator, the CH pump is blocked. An installation equipped with a
mixing valve will close it for the dispenser loading time (the CH pump is operating in this case).
Note: The priority is active for a given time. The Service sets the maximum time after which the HW priority is
switched off while the HW heating process continues. Activation of the priority will start automatically after
launching the next dispenser loading cycle. This activity prevents excessive facility cooling.
Clock
The regulator has a clock powered by a special high-capacity condenser. After a power failure, the clock
continues to run for about two hours. After discharging the energy source, the time and date need resetting.
Time setting
Set the hour and minutes.
Date setting
The regulator requires the user to set the year, month and day of the month. Based on this data, it sets the day
of the week. The exact date is required only for proper operation of statistics and a correct archiving process.
Other functions control the device based on the day of the week.
Other
Language
In this option, the menu language and information available under the "info" button can be changed.
Display brightness
It is possible to adjust the backlight brightness. We recommend setting the optimum value for comfortable
operation. After about 3 minutes from the last operator's movement, the regulator will reduce the brightness by
50%.
Information about the regulator
This option provides a number of important pieces of information for over-the-phone support. The most
important information is the software version number and the circuit control type.
Memory card
Program no. 5
32
The regulator is equipped with an SD card slot. In this option it reads basic information about the card: the amount of free space and total card capacity. Note: We are not responsible for any data loss on your memory card. We do not guarantee that the regulator
will work with all memory card models on the market. The regulator supports SD and SDHC up to 8GB capacity.
Archiving
The regulator stores the number of parameters with a frequency of one minute. The history of work is stored in
the internal memory of the regulator. The regulator stores the last 10 days. This data will be lost when the
regulator is not power supplied. Data recording on an SD card allows analyzing them later on a PC.
Service menu
After entering the SERVICE menu, the regulator displays a window to enter a 5-digit password. There are two
levels of permissions to change service settings which have different passwords. The boiler manufacturer's
password has the highest level as it gives access to all parameters of the regulator. The installation password
does not allow saving changes made to parameters of the BOILER submenu, but it is possible to read them.
After entering a special password, the user can reprogram the processor installed in the RUN-TIME MODULE
using an SD card.
BOILER
Minimum temperature
The boiler temperature decrease below the set value blocks the operation of the HW pump, the CH pump
(except when the mixing valve is installed), and the Buffer pump. The aim of this parameter is to protect the
boiler from dewing.
Maximum temperature
This parameter limits the upper temperature of the boiler. Exceeding this value exits the burning phase to feed
or stop the boiler (depending on other settings). The parameter value should take into account boiler inertia,
matching boiler output to installation demands, so that in the extreme situations, after turning off the burning
phase, the boiler temperature increase did not result in exceeding the boiler temperature approved by the
manufacturer (usually 95C).
Critical temperaturę of the boiler
Exceeding the critical temperature of the boiler will trigger the emergency heat discharge process. In that
situation, all pumps are turned off and the mixing valve is opened. The value of the parameter is selected based
on boiler inertia. The maximum temperature parameter and the critical temperature should be set to protect
the boiler against over-heating in extreme situations.
Return protection temperature
Based on the boiler temperature return sensor and the value of the described parameter, the regulator
protects the boiler return from dropping below the set temperature. The return protection function is achieved
by the mixing valve with the actuator. A 4-way valve is required. When the temperature is lower than the set
temperature, the regulator starts closing the valve, which increases the return temperature. This function
works only when the return sensor is connected. We recommend connecting the sensor when the hydraulic
system without the buffer was built. This is shown in Figure 5. Hydraulic installation diagram without a heat
33
buffer. Connecting the sensor to the regulator when we turn on the buffer pump and the installation is made
based on Figure 4. Hydraulic installation diagram with a heat buffer does not affect the operation of the
equipment. However, it is possible to read the measured return temperature.
Boiler type
Boiler model selection sets the parameter ranges and the default settings in an optimal way for the product.
Pressing the DEFAULT SETTINGS function will bring back the regulator settings recommended by the boiler
manufacturer.
Burner
Prolonging the operation of the burner feeder
This parameter uses % to determine additional operational time of the burner feeder counted after the
dispenser feeder turns off. For example, if the dispenser feeder runs for 5 sec. and the parameter is set to 25%,
the burner feeder will run concurrently with the dispenser feeder and will run for 6.25 seconds, which is about
25% longer.
Emergency temperature of the feeder
The parameter protects the burner against fuel lighting near the area where the pipe is connected to the fuel
tank. There is a sensor that measures the temperature and when it detects that it is becoming higher than the
set temperature it starts the burner feeder to put fuel into the boiler.
Dispenser feeder capacity
To calculate the burner output and fuel consumption, the amount of pellets feed needs to be calculated. After
disconnecting the pipe that feeds the pellet to the burner, manually run the dispenser feeder and start the
timer. This way, pellets can be poured into a vessel for example for 10 minutes and the feeder can be stopped.
The collected amount of pellets is weighed and the result in kg is divided by 10 and introduced into the
regulator. The regulator requires inputting the weight of the poured fuel in kg/minute.
Fuel
The second parameter necessary to calculate power is the calorific value of fuel. There are 2 units to choose
from. Choose the one in which there is data from the fuel supplier (usually printed on the bag).
CH circuit
Mixer
At this point, parameters defining the operation of the mixing valve are collected. After activating the operation
with the valve, the regulator will adjust the controls to such a hydraulic system automatically changing the
temperature and installation protection functions.
Turn on the controls with the valve
If the circuit has a mixing valve with an actuator, check the mixer mounted option. If the installation does not
have a valve with an actuator, this must be set in this option.
Limiting temperature behind the valve
34
For the underfloor installation, a value that is safe for this type of heating should be set, usually 55C. The valve
will close when the installation reaches the set temperature and when it continues to grow the regulator will
switch off the CH pump. For radiator heating, a maximum value needs to be set, i.e. 96C. For this setting, the
emergency valve will discharge the heat into the installation and the CH pump will not be blocked in the
installation protection function. Therefore, in a particular situation, the regulator will discharge the heat into
the installation as an emergency.
Minimum temperature behind a valve
The temperature behind the mixing valve, which will be maintained even when heat demand will be lower, can
be set. For example, the room temperature is reached, but we want to keep the warm floor effect, then by
setting, for example 35C, we feel comfort throughout the entire heating period.
Valve opening time
Enter the number of seconds specified on the valve actuator. For example, for a time of 2.5 minutes enter 150
seconds.
Reaction time adjustment
Adjustment of the mixing valve reaction time is necessary when the valve operates with high frequency (over-
regulation) or very slow. Generally, for a properly chosen valve, there is no need to change this parameter. The
default setting equals five and this is an average value. The operation of the valve can be slowed down by
changing the parameter to, e.g. 2. To make the reaction faster, we change the parameter to 7. The range is
from 1 up to 10.
Additional boiler temperature
Stable operation without closing the valve to protect the boiler requires a higher temperature in the boiler than
in the CH installation. The temperature in the boiler is determined as follows: required CH temperature +
parameter value. Note: This parameter changes the boiler temperature only when the mixing valve is active
(see Turn on valve control).
Circuit control
In this option, the Installer determines the method the user will use to set the heating temperature. The
following methods are available:
• Manual
• Thermostat
• Thermostat + external sensor
• Room sensor + external sensor
MANUAL
The heating temperature is set, i.e. the temperature of water in the CH installation. The user has no additional
control possibilities.
THERMOSTAT
The CH temperature is set by the user, but the user has an additional parameter to use - Heating temperature
decrease.
NOTE:
35
1. It is required to connect a room thermostat with a closing contact (e.g. AURATRON). The thermostat should
close the measuring line - room sensor input, for the temperature decrease time.
2. NO VOLTAGE MUST BE CONNECTED TO THE REGUALTOR'S MEASURING INPUT.
3. Use a thermostat with a potential-free relay output only. The regulator does not work with modulated output
thermostats. Most often, these are advanced thermostats with impulses of varied durations.
Thermostat + external
The user sets the room temperature. The menu has many options and the weather characteristics can be set. NOTES: 1. It is required to connect an external sensor (the sensor must be mounted on the north wall of the building) 2. All remarks from the THERMOSTAT section must be followed
Room sensor + external sensor
This configuration uses all the possibilities of the regulator and it is a full weather control. The user sets the
room temperature and the weekly heating program. After activating this point, the user menu changes.
Note:
1. It is required to mount the external sensor on the north wall of the building
2. It is required to mount the room sensor (do not mount near heat sources)
HW circuit
HW priority
HW priority means the HW heating needs to be turned off until the HW dispenser is heated up.
HW additional boiler temperature
The boiler temperature, during HW heating in the summer period and for the active HW priority, is determined
as follows: the value of a current parameter is added to the HW temperature set by the user. Setting a higher
value will reduce the dispenser heating time, but a too high boiler temperature can increase fuel consumption
and result in exceed the critical temperature in the boiler.
HW priority - time
If the HW dispenser is not heated up for the set time, the regulator will turn off the priority not to cool down the
CH installation too much. The priority will be turned off automatically in the next dispenser heating cycle.
Circulating pump
The goal of the HW circulating pump is to supply hot water to the tap. For large installations, the overall water
consumption decreases.
Pump activation
Once activated, the circulation pump is drawn on the screen with a color. It operates only when the HW heating
is set in the weekly program. Moreover, the pump operates in cycles; the operation time and the downtime are
described below.
Operation time
36
The user needs to set a time for the pump to allow it to pump water through the piping system, so that after
turning on the tap hot water appears.
Downtime
The downtime should be as long as possible, but the water in the pipes cannot cool down too much. The user
should not feel uncomfortable when using HW.
HW rundown during summer
The pump loading the dispenser during SUMMER is delayed by this parameter. The purpose of this activity is to
discharge the boiler. After heating the dispenser to the desired temperature, the burner turns off and the
dispenser pump will work during rundown time in the summer.
Buffer pump
The regulator is prepared to work with the buffer. The documentation contains a hydraulic system diagram that
uses the buffer as a thermal energy store. If the control in such a system is to be correct, the Service must
activate buffer cooperation and set the remaining parameters correctly. A description of the available settings is
below.
Operation activation
Turning on the parameter is a piece of information for the regulator that the heat buffer is built in the hydraulic
system. In this system, the boiler loads the buffer to an appropriate temperature and then the accumulated
heat is used in the CH installation. This allows the most efficient use of fuel because these are the conditions in
which the greatest efficiency of the burner can be obtained. In this example, boiler control differs from
operating without the buffer. What is important, the boiler does not often start up and runs in long cycles,
mostly at maximum output. The boiler temperature is automatically set to a given value (maximum
temperature - 2°C) during buffer loading.
Important: If the system does not include the buffer, the parameter should be disabled.
Note: For operation with the heat buffer, it is recommended to use the PID DISABLED mode for the burner.
Upper temperature
The temperature decrease below the set value at the upper buffer sensor will trigger the buffer heating process.
The buffer pump will turn on when the temperature in the boiler will be higher than the minimum boiler
temperature and also higher than the measured temperature at the upper buffer sensor by at least 2C. This
prevents corrosion in the boiler as a result of dewing. On the other hand, the buffer is not cooled down by the
boiler when there is no appropriate temperature in the boiler.
Note: This setting is ignored after selecting the Automatic upper temperature option.
Lower temperature
If the lower buffer sensor measures the temperature that is higher than the set value, the buffer heating process
will be finished.
NOTE:
37
1. Lower temperature can be automatically reduced when the calculated value is too high. In this case, the
regulator will accept a value (maximum temperature - 5°C) as the lower temperature.
2. If the automatic upper temperature is turned on, the lower temperature principle is set as follows:
Tlower_automatic = Tupper_automatic + (Tlower - Tupper)
Operation modes
The buffer can be loaded only based on buffer sensors temperature, so-called continuous loading. Moreover, it
is possible to specify one time period in which buffer loading is possible. The buffer loading process will not be
triggered outside this period.
Continuous loading
Activation of this parameter results in cyclic buffer loading based on buffer sensors temperatures and lower and
upper temperature settings of the buffer.
Temporary loading
For this mode, the user must also set the time of two parameters, i.e. the beginning and the end of buffer
service. Between these hours, the buffer will be loaded the same way as it is loaded in the "continuous loading".
Buffer loading outside the set hours is blocked.
The beginning of service
Set the hour to begin the buffer loading service (see Operation modes).
The end of service
Set the hour to end the buffer loading service (see Operation modes).
Minimum temperature of pumps
In a situation when the upper buffer sensor measures a temperature that is lower than the set temperature, the
CH pump will be blocked. This eliminates needless consumption of electric energy if the buffer is discharged.
Automatic upper temperature
When this option is activated, the regulator will automatically determine the upper temperature parameter.
The device will be set to the desired temperature for the CH circuit. It will also determine a new boiler operation
temperature - it will amount to (maximum temperature -2°C). Thus, setting the value (Upper temperature) is
ignored. If the automatic .... option is disabled - the regulator will operate according to the Upper temperature
parameter setting.
Default settings
After choosing the DEFAULT SETTINGS option, the regulator goes back to factory parameters. The scope of
settings displayed using this command depends on granted authorization.
If the user selects an option, user settings will be displayed to the defaults only.
When the Installer selects the factory settings after entering the SERVICE option (after providing the installer
password), the regulator will show a greater extent of settings. The parameters from the user menu and the
service menu will be brought back except for submenu parameters: SERVICE-> BOILER.
38
All possible regulator settings will be restored to factory settings after entering the SERVICE option, entering
the heating device MANUFACTURER'S password and choosing the DEFAULT SETTINGS.
