V-10 TOUCH SCREEN BOILER CONTROLLER
The Overrides screen allows the override programming for each load to be
enabled or disabled and by touching the Edit button the override temperatures
with corresponding start and end times can be set for each load by day of the
week. There are two override programs for each day of the week. (Refer to
section: 1.7.5)
The Backlight Settings screen provides a slide bar to set the screen backlight
level (brightness) and a Dim Time setting to control the length of time, with no touch
screen interaction, the controller waits before dimming the screen to save power.
1.5.5 Installer Settings
The Installer Settings screen gives access to all configurable settings for the
advanced installer.
There is an Entry Button for each of the 4 available loads used to assign the
load types. Once a type is assigned all the load’s parameters can be edited
independently. Setting the load type to Off means that load is disabled and will
not be used.
The
Multi-Boiler, Load Combining and System Settings menu buttons
complete the selections available on the Installer Settings screen.
•
Multi-Boiler provides access to settings required for the boiler to operate as
part of a multi-boiler system. (Refer to section: 1.7.10)
•
Load Combining provides access to settings for required to enable the
boiler’s Load Combining (previously known as Load Pairing) feature. (Refer to
section: 1.7.2 )
•
System Settings leads to a menu screen where the Site Settings, Network
Settings, Security, Licensing and Backup & Restore selections are
available.
1.5.5.1 LOAD SETTINGS
Most load settings available to adjust are self-explanatory to the experienced
installer but listed below are ones that may be new to some installers:
Boiler Pump – This feature is available for all load types and allows the installer
to have the Boiler Pump (primary loop pump) off while this load is running. The
load pump must be piped in such a way (series piping) as to ensure adequate
flow through the boiler without needing the Boiler Pump to provide flow through
the heat exchanger. When you set the Boiler Pump to Off a warning message will
appear as a reminder. If the load is a radiant floor then it is strongly recommended
to use primary/secondary piping and leave the Boiler Pump set On .
Ramp Speed – Ramp Speed allows the installer to adjust how fast the boiler
tries to raise the water temperature flowing though the heat emitters. With a fin
tube baseboard radiator you may want the water temperature to rise quickly to
provide heat as quickly as possible. This type of heat emitter has very little mass
so it can heat up quickly and when the call for heat is removed, cools down
quickly. A radiant floor, on the other hand, has significant mass therefore takes a
long time to heat up. When the call for heat is removed, the floor is still warm and
will continue to add heat to the space for a significant period of time.
