Once highlighted, press the
key to access the appliance
Status
screen
The appliance
Status
screen displays the core data vital to the system such as the operating temperatures,
inputs, outputs, and the state of the burner(s) connected to the appliance.
Key Points
These are some of the key things to look for from the appliance
Status
screen:
State of the Controller(s)
Ensure that all controllers are running in a steady state. In the example above (
Burner FF
), the state of the
controller is listed as
Low Fire
which is a steady state.
High Fire
and
Pilot
can also be acceptable steady states.
Outlet Temperature
The outlet temperature should be stable (not fluctuating) and reading at the established setpoint.
Firing Rate
The Firing Rate should be stable and not wildly fluctuating.
Alerts Tab
There should be
no
asterisk next to the
Alerts
tab. If there is an asterisk (as pictured here:
), then
navigate to the
Alerts
tab and refer to the PF3100 Product Manual or contact your supervisor.
Any further investigation of the system requires understanding which mode the PID Staging is in. This can be
found by accessing the
Settings
tab, navigating to
Process Control
,
and then
Advanced PID Config
and
observing which mode is selected in the
PID Staging Mode
setting. Please refer to Section 2 - PID Staging
Modes below for a detailed review of the modes. Once the mode is known, the PID Status can be identified.
