BOILER CONTROL: INTERNAL WIRING & OPERATION

Period

Demand Status

User Interface Display

Safety

On/Off

A heat demand has no influence in the Safety On/Off period.
The Safety On/Off step will continue even if the demand has
ended.

This step very quickly opens and closes the gas valve relays and determines if the control is operating correctly. 

Pre-Ignition

A heat demand has no influence in the Pre-Ignition period.

Once the internal check is complete, the control begins a Pre-Ignition sequence. The igniter is energized while the gas valve
remains off. If a flame is detected at the end of the pre-ignition period a lockout will occur.

Ignition

A heat demand has no influence in the Ignition period.

The following displays occur on ignition failure only.

The igniter remains energized for the first 4 seconds of the Ignition period. For the final 2 seconds of the Ignition period, the igniter is
turned off and the control checks for a flame signal through both the ignition electrode and the flame sensor. If no flame signal is pres-
ent at the end of the Ignition period, the control initiates a post-purge and then begins the ignition cycle again. If there are three con-
secutive ignition failures, the control will post purge and lockout. 

Burner On

A heat demand must be present for the control to stay in this
period.

Once the flame signal is established, the burner will run until the demand is satisfied, the setpoint is exceeded, or a blocking error
occurs. The maximum run period for the burner is 24 hours. If the boiler runs continuously for 24 hours, the control will override
the demand and turn off the burner. After this a restart will occur and the burner will continue to run.

Post Purge 1

After the Post Purge period begins, a heat demand will be
ignored until after this period.

The following screen is displayed when the demand has ended.

During post purge 1, the control monitors the flame signal to be sure that the flame has extinguished. If a flame is detected after
the maximum 10 second time period, a control lockout will occur. 

Post Purge 2

During this period a heat demand has no effect on operation.

The following screen will be displayed if the supply temperature
exceeds the target setpoint.

During this period, the combustion air fan runs at high speed to purge combustion gases from the heat exchanger. The minimum
setting for the fan post purge is 30 seconds. This can be increased to 90 seconds at the installer level of access.

Pump Purge

No heat demand is present. 

The operation of the pumps and the boiler depend on the heat demand status.
