INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL

temperature, the dot does not appear. The regulator allows 
adjustment of the temperature within the range of 65-85°C.

Lamp 3 “Firing on” indicates the active status of the boiler. 

This lamp lights up when the ventilator is switched on using the 
button 3 (Fig. 9) on the front control panel and regulation of the 
ventilator speed starts. The ventilator can be in operation mode 
only when the signal lamp 3 (Fig. 11) lights.

Lamp  4  lights  up  when  the  boiler  turns  to  the  mode 

“Firing off”. This boiler operation mode is established if 
the following condition occurs:
• if during operation the temperature of flue gases drops 
bellow 75°C and does not rise for some time.

Lamp 5 “Pump on” lights up when the regulator switches 

on the circulation pump of the system. In accordance with the 
manufacturer’s  settings,  this  occurs  when  the  boiler  water 
temperature exceeds 60°C. The pump is switched off, when 
the firing in the boiler nears the end and the temperature of 

the flue gases drops below 75° C. Then, pump indicator lamp 5 switches off as well. Service programming mode can be used to adjust 
other limit temperatures for switching the circulation pump on (in the range of 55-73°C) and off (in whatever temperature range). To 
carry out such adjustment, a servicing company should be contacted.

Lamp 6 “Ventilator on” lights up when the boiler ventilator is operating. The more frequently it blinks, the higher the 

rotational speed of the ventilator is, since its blinking frequency corresponds to the impulse frequency of the power supply to 
the ventilator. If this lamp is lighting constantly, it means that the ventilator is operating at 100% of its capacity.

Lamp 7 signals that the programming output channel is switched on. Button 8 is used for service programming and can 

only be used by the specialists of the service company. We do not recommend the user to modify the programming modes.

Button 8 is multipurpose, and is used for some support functions and service programming.
The boiler regulator is connected to the boiler circuit in accordance with the scheme shown in Fig. 12. The power supply L2, stemming 

from the front control panel and transferred to the regulator, is switched on when switches 2 and 3 (Fig. 9) are in the position ON and the 
emergency thermostat has not tripped. The impulse commutator regulating the ventilator connects periodically L2 to L3. When the boiler 
switches to status “Firing off”, L3 does not supply power to the ventilator and lamp 4 (Fig. 11) lights up. To return to the mode “Firing on”, 
the power supply L2 should be interrupted by switching off the ventilator switch 3 (Fig. 9) or the power supply of the boiler (on/off button 
2, Fig. 9), and later turning them on. The pump control relay connects L4 to L1. The programmable channel relay connects P to L1.

The power of the operating ventilator ranges between 20÷100 VA. The maximum allowed power of the circulation pump 

connected to the regulator is 250 VA. The maximum allowed power of the programmable channel is 250 VA.

• PreParation for firinG

Before kindling the boiler, check the position of the ceramic chopper 2 in the lower combustion chamber: the edge of the 

chopper must be in contact with the rear wall of the boiler (Fig. 2). Place two ceramic segments 3 (Fig. 2) on the chopper so 
that they contact the walls of the boiler chamber.

Fill the heating system with water. The filling pressure should be 0.2 bar bigger than the hydrostatic pressure, yet it must 

not exceed the operating pressure of the boiler. After filling the system with water, perform a visual check of the tightness of 
the entire system. Perform it before kindling the boiler, then again after kindling and reaching the nominal operating mode. 
Check if the heating system is properly deaerated.
