CONTROLS

4.1 Description

The boiler connections shall be performed by a
qualified professional only.
Strict compliance with these operating and
connecting instructions is a precondition for the
correct operation of the boiler

1.

On    / Off    switch.

2.

Burner switch: 

turning the heating off (summer position    

  

)

or on (winter position     ) by turning off/on the burner and the
pump (domestic hot water production continues).

For an MB1 domestic hot water priority module 

the switch

is disabled by the control device.

3.

Heating pump switch:

 used to turn the heating pump off

(summer position     ) or on (winter position     ).

For an MB1 module it must be set to the winter position     .

4.

Boiler thermometer.

5.

Three-position switch:
     : manual position,

 used when the boiler is 

not fitted

with

 a room thermostat.

The boiler temperature is regulated by boiler thermostat 7.
This position may be used to test the burner of installations
fitted with a room thermostat.

AUTO : automatic position,

 used for normal operation of

boilers.  The boiler temperature is regulated by the connected
device.

TEST STB : momentary use 

to test the safety thermostat.

6.

Safety thermostat

 with manual reset (factory setting 110ºC).

7.

Boiler thermostat

 with 30 - 85ºC adjustment range.

However, the built-in stop limits the maximum temperature
to 75ºC.  The stop may be moved if required.

The boiler thermostat must necessarily be set to the
maximum position if a room thermostat is used.

8.

6.3 AT fuse.

9.

Location for MB1 module 

(also refer to the instructions

supplied with the device).

10.

Location for an optional time counter.
Boilers with the domestic hot water facility:
A potentiometer for setting the temperature of the
domestic hot water 

is located on the MB1 module casing

(graduated from 1-8).

4.2 Operating Principle

Control Panel

The boiler temperature is regulated either by the boiler thermostat
or any room thermostat.  The safety of the installation is achieved
via the safety thermostat with manual reset.

Heating Regulation

The heating is regulated in different ways (manual mixing valve,
thermostatic valves etc.).  It is up to the fitter to explain to the user
how the heating is regulated.

Domestic Hot Water Regulation (Versions with MB1)

The presence of a filling pump and an antithermosiphon valve on
the primary circuit of the hot water production system means that
the domestic hot water temperature is kept correctly regulated.  The
temperature of the domestic hot water is set by means of a
potentiometer located on the MB1.
When the domestic hot water is reheated, the burner and the primary
filling pump are started up, whilst the heating pump is stopped.  The
boiler temperature is controlled by the limiting thermostat built into
the MB1 module (the thermostat is factory set to 80ºC).  When the
need for hot water is met, the burner is turned off and the filling
pump continues to operate for 4 minutes after the burner stops (the
delay is adjustable from 30 sec to 15 min).  In this way, the residual
heat accumulated in the heating elements is used to complete
reheating the tank.
