Once the heat exchanger has been suitably cooled (temperature
measured by the SR heating circuit probe lower than the T
ON
re-
ignition temperature), the system can start operating normally
again.

Destratification gradient
Spacious rooms can be subject to air stratification phenomena: hot
air tends to rise above creating a considerable temperature
difference between the comfort zone and the room ceiling.

Fig. 7 – Air stratification phenomenon
If the hot air generator is installed in a high position and an SA
local room temperature probe is used, the following directions will
have to be observed for a correct room temperature adjustment:
1) place the SA probe next to the comfort zone for a correct
room temperature detection (fig. 8a), or
2) use the
destratification gradient (0
÷
10°C), which will be
deducted from the temperature measured where the hot
air generator is installed in order to calculate the
temperature of the comfort zone (fig. 8b).

The destratification gradient factory setting is zero (0°C): different
parameter values can be set up on request.

IMPORTANT NOTE
This parameter can be modified through BRAHMA serial interface type 810 and
management software.

Outside temperature probe function
As already mentioned before, the outside ambient temperature can
contribute to the system temperature adjustment process: in fact,
through a remote controller it is possible to reserve the SA input of
the control unit no. "n" (in case of a cascade system) to this
function, enabling all units to adjust the modulation power
according to the outside temperature measured.
TC340(P1) - OPERATION
In this case, the device is used for the ignition, the flame control
and (if available) the modulation of premix burners equipped with
fan with PWM control.
To better understand the operation of the system, please refer to
the operating cycle diagrams in the next pages.
At the first start-up, the device is in stand-by status and the fan
control is disabled (point 1).
In case of heat demand (TC boiler thermostat closing, point 2), the
device performs the start-up cycle, carrying out the TP pre-purge
time at TP1_speed and then the TP2 second pre-purge time and
the TS safety time at start-up speed (TP2_TS_speed, point 3).
In case of flame signal failure at the end of the safety time, the
system goes to lockout; else, the system goes on (point 4) carrying
out the modulation delay time lasting for DELAY_RP_STAB at
RP_STAB_speed in order to settle the burner flame.
At the end of this phase (which can be set up to "0" if it is not
necessary), the device enters the real operation stage (point 5,
running position), setting up the fan speed to the RP_speed value,
which can be increased (point 7) or decreased (point 9)
dynamically through the IN(+) and IN(-) adjustment inputs within a
range limited by the RP_MAX_speed and RP_MIN_speed values
(as soon as these two values are reached, as shown on points 8
and 10, the adjustment inputs do not affect the PWM output signal
value).
In running status, the output modulation power can be increased to
a predetermined RP_T2_speed value by means of the T2
adjustment input (point 6): this function can be used if the burner is
provided with two flame stages or if you wish to obtain a temporary
modulation “boost”.
As soon as the heat demand stops (point 11), during operation the
system can:
−
go to stand-by position;
−
proceed to post-purge at POST_speed (in case of option P or
PT).
The following table shows the modulation parameters of the
device, which can be pre-set and modified through serial interface.
Upon request it is possible to mount a vertical module with
microcontroller technology which enables to set up three of the
above-mentioned modulation parameters through a trimmer; these
parameters can be factory-set and can be modified through serial
interface and management software.
