Electronic pellet burner controller – NPBC-V3C-1/ NPBC-V4C-1/ NPBC-V4E-1

Modulation

. The shortest switch time interval could be the cycle between two feedings, which usually

is 20-30 seconds. For such a short period of time, the temperature of the heating installation can't
change significantly and it's impossible for a human to sense the swings between the power levels. 

A correctly set Suspend power level can provide even larger range for modulation for the controller.

Make sure that the cycle between two feedings is just as long as the fuel dose needs to burn out, but
not long enough for the embers to cool down, so the next dose can easily ignite.

Interm Clean

 – This menu sets the intermediate cleaning which is performed while the fire is burning.

The fans temporary increase their speed which results in higher temperature of the fire and leads to
better burning of all leftovers. Another option is to connect a mechanical actuator to the FC output and
to   use   it   periodically   to   clean   the   ashes.   Put   a   check   sign   on   the   line  

Activate

procedures, on the line 

Change fans

 to enable the usage of the fans during this procedure and/or on

the line

Additional information about the controller

After the power supply to the controller is on, a yellow text with Control module's version appears on
the screen for 2 seconds. There are two options for this text: NRC-6 MV – a control module for pellet
burner or NRC-6 SV – a control module for pellet burner with an option to work as a room thermostat.
After that the controller displays a screen with its version and the software versions of the Control
module and the Executive module:

If checked the intermediate

cleaning is enabled

On every 10 min of the burner's 

work, the intermediate cleaning
will be executed for 30 seconds

If checked, the fans' usage is enabled

and their speed will change as set

on the following two parameters

If checked FC output is enabled
