Alarm/Note mode 
 

Alarm

  -  The  controller  goes  into  alarm  mode  when  one  of  the  required  sensors  fails  or  is 

disconnected,  or  when  the  cable  is  broken.  The  controller  will  signal  that  the  sensor  in 
question is required. When the fault is repaired, the controller returns to the mode it was in 
before. The controller will not enter alarm mode when the sensor fault has been repaired. Any 
changes to components should be done with the controller turned off. 
 

Note

 - The controller switches to warning mode when the DHW/returning sensor fails or is 

disconnected,  or  when  the  cable  is  broken.  The  controller  then  gives  information  about  the 
warning, and the types of operations conditionally possible without the sensor. The user must 
always accept operations that are conditional on the lack of sensor, each time the controller is 
restarted.  This  applies  only  to  those  sensors  which  do  not  affect  the  safe  operation  of  the 
heating system. After repairing the sensor problem or removing the cause of the interference, 
the  controller  returns  to  the  mode  in  which  it  was  previously  operating.  Any  changes  to 
components should be made with the controller turned off. 
The other functions of the note mode are to give information when the hot water tank has not 
been disinfected, or the temperature in the feeder has not been raised. The controller exits the 
notes mode when one of the notes is UW10 or UW17. 

 

5.6.

 

Emergency work. 

 

Safe mode allows the boiler to work in case of damage to the feeder and or fan TRIAC, until 

servicing is possible. For the controller to operate the feeder / fan in safe mode, the correct 
mode should be selected from the menu, in addition to changing the feeder/fan connection. A 
detailed description is on page 39. 

 

6.

 

Operating the controller 

Operating  the  controller  is  described  in  this  chapter.  It  includes  turning  it  on,  using  the 

keyboard,  a  working  preview  of  the  measuring  system,  reading  text  or  characters  on  the 
screen, and editing the parameters available to the user.
