6.12 - TROUBLESHOOTING

Probe alarm signal:

In case of failure or disconnection of one or more temper-
ature probes, the control unit signals that they are missing 
indicating  the  number  of  the  missing  probe  by  a  short 
beep of the buzzer. To eliminate the problem, check the 
connection of the probe and/or replace it.

Maximum boiler temperature alarm signal:

If the boiler reaches the maximum operating temperature, 
the alarm sounds automatically and the display flashes 
indicating the safety status; at the same time the control 
unit activates all enabled pumps, according to the type of 
system controlled, in order to disperse excess heat. To 
silence the alarm, press the Buzzer silencing key 

 .

Boiler door open alarm signal:

When the wood loading door opens, the bypass connected 
mechanically opens allowing the fan to directly extract the 
flue gas at maximum speed through the bypass.
After the door has closed, the system continues working 
automatically following the panel board 
logic.
A microswitch is connected to the bypass opening system 
which is activated when the door opens; the controller will 
begin to emit a series of short beeps at regular intervals 
and the message “BOILER DOOR OPEN” will appear at 
the bottom of the display.

•  The  fan  will  run  at  full  speed  to  extract  the  flue  gas 

through the bypass.

•  After the door has closed, the system continues working 

automatically following the panel board logic.

Just close the door to silence the alarm.
Remember that keeping the door open for long periods 
“during reloading”, could deform the flue gas extraction 
impeller.

Faulty probe temperature measurement:

Should  one  or  more  probes  supply  faulty  temperature 
measurements,  try  to  replace  it/them;  also  check  to 
ensure no voltage reaches the input of a possible chron-
othermostat.
In case of faulty readings, try to disconnect the wires from 
the chronothermostat input.

Safety device trip:

When the set boiler water temperature has been reached 
(PARAMETER 0), the boiler fan stops.
If this temperature is exceeded and the temperature set in 
PARAMETER 2 is reached, an acoustic alarm signal will 
be triggered and all pumps will be enabled to run.
When the water temperature of the system drops, boiler 
operation will be restored automatically; if on the other 
hand the temperature increases beyond the safety ther-
mostat calibration value (100°C), standard operating con-
ditions must be restored manually by resetting the safety 
thermostat: the key is on the left side of the panel board.

Power outage:

Safety  is  assured  by  the  thermal  discharge  valve  (the 
mounting  of  which  is 

mandatory

  for  all  solid  fuel  fired 

appliance) which disposes of excess inertia.
