FIRST BOILER START-UP
After successful installation of all the boiler's components and additional devices, the so-called first start-up follows. A certified
installer sets the basic data for the correct combustion process and activates the additional devices connected to the external
socket. This menu is secured by an access code.
Caution: when selecting the boiler power during the first start-up, choose one of the
powers from 11 to 40kW with the "MINI" attribute. The other powers are for older
types of Biopel v9 premium.
Caution: the first start-up is carried out in the boiler's deactivated state (extinct). If you
perform the First Start-up during the Ignition or PID operation phase, the data entered
would not be saved in the control unit's operating memory and the operation of the
feeders and fan may not correspond to the values you have entered.
In the first start-up, the unit will ask you step by step for basic boiler information. After entering each item, move to the next
item by pressing the Next button.
Caution: if you do not enter the data for each query within the First Start within a 30s
interval, the control unit will move to the next query after 30s.
Therefore, review the First Start diagram on the following pages of this manual before the First Start so that you do not extend
the selections inside the First Start beyond 30s. This is to protect against the unit remaining in First Start if the installer stops
operating it for a longer time period.
For clarity, during the first start-up the information in the Control Unit Function
Description and Accessory Electrical Wiring chapters, as well as the First Start Diagram
provided on the following pages of the manual.
Enter the current time and date - for the boiler's online functions and timed start-up, and for correct alarm history
display.
Burner power - correct burner selection will set the feeder operating times and fan speeds adequately to the size of
your boiler and burner. Please note: only enter the burner power as shown on the label on the side of the burner.
Entering the wrong power may damage the burner or boiler!
Filling the external feeder. Start the feeder so that it is filled with pellets. Deactivate the feeder the moment pellets start
falling from the feeder into the burner.
Setting the CH temperature and modulation range - CH temperature, i.e., the boiler power temperature, should be as
high as possible, preferably between 65 and 80°C. The following is the activation of pumps if they are connected to the
external socket to the outputs "CH pump" or "DHW pump". Caution: for the DHW pump, it is necessary to connect a
temperature sensor to the "DHW sensor" output in the external socket of the boiler, otherwise the control unit will
announce an alarm when the pump is activated.
Setting the CH hysteresis - by default 15°C. This is the drop in the boiler's CH temperature at which the boiler is
reactivated if the CH temperature was reached in the previous period.
CH temperature above - by default 5°C. This is the temperature by which the boiler can exceeded the set CH temperature
before it switches off.
Connecting the additional devices in the following order:
o
Room thermostat - standard (voltage-free, connected to outputs "Room reg.1" or "Room reg2") or RT10 (OPOP
controller, connected to RS data output in external socket).
o
Lambda probe - connected to the RS data output. The pre-set values can be changed in the Installation menu.
o
Compressor 1,2, 3 - connected to "Komp1" or "Komp2" or "Komp3” output. By default, burner cleaning is
connected to "Komp1" output and boiler cleaning to the other 2 outputs. However, these can be changed at any
time in the compressor cleaning settings in the Installation Menu.
o
Vacuum feeder, Automatic de-ashing, Exhaust fan - connect these accessories to the "Vacuum", "De-ashing"
outputs, RS data output.
Connecting mixing valves 1,2 - to outputs "Valve1" or "Valve2". Caution: when activating the valves, it is also necessary
to connect the valve sensors to the outputs "Valve1 sens.”or "Valve2 sens.", otherwise an alarm message will occur.
Connect the possible valve pumps to the "Valve1 pump" or "Valve2 pump" outputs and activate them directly in the
Built-in Valves 1 or 2 settings in the Installation Menu.
The following part presents a general introduction to boiler operation and maintenance. Do not forget to familiarise the
customer with how to operate and maintain the boiler.
At the end of the First Start-up, you can activate the boiler and put it into Automatic Ignition, or you can leave the boiler
deactivated and carry out further installation work. You can activate the boiler at any time via the Ignition button in the
unit menu. Caution: if a room thermostat is connected make sure it is set to heating to instruct the boiler to heat.
